Seeing Jurei's emotions adjust and wane as the conversation took its course, Marabelle was pleased to see how the proceedings impacted the fellow kunoichi as it appeared to her that she did not take too much offense to her own responses. This was great to hear as it appeared accepting the proposal of guidance and a place to stay was welcomed by the Ryoinsatsu-shinobi. "Thanks for your assistance and I appreciated it Jurei-san." Marabelle responded the initial welcoming commentary provided by the woman. From there it was time to wrap-up the casual hang out and seeing Jurei leave a tip for the waitstaff, Marabelle also added to the stack. It was only respectful out of what she could see to match it. It was just a matter of the proceedings for the day. It was a matter of getting things sorted out and with that a bathe and rest sounded exquisite to the vagabond kunoichi.

Thus when the comment came of Jurei's place of home was not far from their current location, Marabelle was pleased with such a blessing to her. As much as her feet were not weary of the travel, her soul was. The long drawn adventure she had undergone so far was not nearing its end but it was nearing a pivotal moment. There was heavy thoughts on her mind and a good place to stay sounded better than what else could be offered to her in the moment. There was a degree that meeting with the Hogokage and his staff would be needed and be more impactful but establishing a place to rest under the conditions was just as important to her. Without rest and a clear mind she could not hope to convey her intent without causing problems or misspeaking. There would always be second chances at an introduction or matter of the applying for such access but a restful night the day after arrival to a new village is only a one time occurrence. This when following Jurei, Marabelle took note of the surrounding pathway they took as a multitude of businesses dotted the streets they took. There was a bright future ahead of her and the friends she could make along the way were more than welcoming.

Sometime later toward the evening...

Arriving in a wealthy looking district of Hoshigakure, the building complex that the duo arrived too was significantly larger than even her own home all things considered. Being the youngest out of 14, Marabelle assessed the mansion itself that stood before her with her own family in mind. Their house consisted of about half the size all things considered and even that in Bean Jam was an impressive house to call one's home. Seeing how perfectly the setting and surrounding landscape was taken care of, she could feel the care and tenderness of the earth around them with respect to the greenery that the Land of Haven offered. It was a fertile region and one that was well off and even the families that were also well off appeared to want to maintain that imagery and take good care of the ground they have been able to claim as their own. Various flowers brought Marabelle's attention to the scenic surroundings as they entered the home of Jurei Ryoinsatsu.

Upon entry it was obvious that the tenderness and care of the landscape outside had contrast to the regal that the interior possessed. From fine furniture to elegant decor, Marabelle's eyes always had something to take in as they made their way further into the home. Seeing a staff member of the estate great them, Marabelle bowed in respect towards the butler. It was a simple matter of treating others as she would expect to be treated that brought her to that point, being in this establishment would not change how she reacted to others. From there Jurei helped direct her to a place where she could stay, offering her a general degree of warmth and hospitality. Hearing from Jurei that she would request a maid to take care of drawing a bath and bringing some clothes to utilize during her say, Marabelle simply nodded and smiled, "Thank you Jurei-san." She said warmly as Jurei made her way to her own room and space from what she could tell, leaving the kunoichi alone to her needs. Without worry or concern on what was to happen, Mareblle just appreciated the effort that someone from Hoshigakure would offer to her. As a foreigner it was a vastly different reception than to what she expected from her time meeting Otogakure or Sakuragakure.

Once the maid entered and entered the bathroom, Marabelle took it upon herself to derobe and prepare for a warm bath. It was a long journey to this point in time and a bit of freshining up was in order for the wandering kunoichi. With the bath set and the maid gesturing that it was ready, Marabelle moved along the path presented and found herself in a world of luxury, one that was not generally accustomed to. There the warmth of the tub and its porcelain walls made for a wonderful moment of time away from the dangers of the world. Many would argue accepting such hospitable arrangements is a folly endeavor to find oneself in, but Marabelle saw this as a trusting moment in time. She did not fear the world as others did nor did she have a sense of skepticism to those who reside in it. Not everyone who sought the path of the shinobi were bloodthirsty or sought violence. Meeting Jurei as seeing her share some of the sentiment to the degree that she could put the wanderer into a happy place in the setting of another major shinobi village. Hoshigakure had its own secrets and likely its own dark secrets but that did not stop those residing within the walls and protection to change the world too. There was always another day ahead of her, but she continued.
