Sabina really had heard Sano's shout, for she turned and reprimanded him for it. At least, it seemed so, but the way she ended her last sentence didn't sound all that annoyed. He could hear her well enough from his distance, but still closed the few meter's space between them in little trot. He felt the blatant stares of some of his fellow villagers as he went to the pale little girl. She was quite light-skinned, but Sano didn't think it was too strange since she wasn't from the tropical island.

"Well, I guess we're heading to the temple?" he asked in a merry tone as he reached Sabina.

“Thank you for the offer Sano, I’d like to get an impression of the temple before I… Er… We, enter the Cloister of Trials.” When she said that, a strange look passed over the girl's face. It was almost too subtle for the boy to notice, but he decided not to question her.

"There is a bit of a predicament though, you see, I’m not exactly what you would call ‘rich’ and I don’t have a place to stay tonight. I suppose it might be possible to stay at the Temple but… Well, the idea of sleeping in such a public place sort of unnerves me to say the least…”

Sano didn't know if Sabina was asking him for an invitation to stay at his home or not, but he took it that way.

"You can always stay with me and my brother," he offered. "I guess it's kind of small, but if you'd rather stay at our place instead of the temple, you're welcome to. Wes wouldn't mind a bit." He made a crooked grin and jabbed his thumb into his chest as he said this, acting casual. Sano had always had friends come over to stay the night as a child, but never anyone with more class than his own. He was nervous about Sabina judging him by his humble home, but no way would he show it.
