[ The fence blocks you off your left and your right, and the old house lies in your path ahead. You could walk around the house... But you can see that outside it, seated with his back against the wall, is a tall man with bushy black hair, holding a metal staff, his face in shadows. Beside him sleep five dogs
--no, sorry, not dogs. Wolves, wearing odd masks with a single massive eye painted on each.
[That must be the guy. And ...well, those certainly are wolves. The eye mask things are creepy.
No fire, no sword, foxbro can't take five wolves even if he wasn't tiny...
{Think we can sneak past?}
{Maybe. But one might be easier than two.}
{I'll carry you, then. Dunno if around here would like merging.}
{If they wake up, I'll distract them, then you run.}
{But you'll--}
{Be fine. Even if they catch me, I'll be back in a day at most and you know it. You, not so much.}
{...I'll just have to make sure to be extra careful, then.}
{Exactly the point. :3} (He doesn't actually think the smiley, but it's implied.)
Holding Fiere in his arms, then, Sol is going to quietly start tip-toeing around the house, watching to make extra careful he doesn't accidentally step on a stray branch or leaf or pebble or anything that could make noise.]
Breathing out as slowly and quietly as possible before starting to tiptoe a bit further, still focused on not stepping on anything that would accidentally make noise.
He may be a tiny, but he does have stamina, at least.]
[Decent luck is helpful. Let's hope Miss Forsaken Queen over there doesn't screw things up.
Or a stray branch, but he's still specifically looking out for things like those. Slowly, slowly tiptoeing quietly toward the shrine, maybe clutching his fox a little closer out of nervousness that he doesn't want to admit to...]
[pardon him a second he's just going to look at it for a minute because guess who's not familiar with Japanese temples and gosh this is kind of amazing really, as Fiere jumps down now that danger is past]
Where do you think we should put it?
Over here looks like a good spot.
Okay!
[He'll hang their plaque somewhere that is kind of on the right hand side of the wall, then.]
[He's going to actually look at this coin then - oh hey he can recognize one of those symbols, that's one of those numbers, right? - before pocketing it

They all appear to be asleep at the moment. ]

Re: SECOND ROOM
The shrine up ahead is modest in size, but you may hang your ema up with the other wooden plaques. ]

Re: SECOND ROOM
one five yen coin falls out of the sky and bonks you on the head. you can now continue through the shrine. ]
