"Really, it's quite alright." I say to them.

"You don't need to be so polite, we would like the thought of having some company for a while especially in a season so cold." Sango says with a light laugh.

"I'd feel that I'll give you all such inconvenience, you would have to look after me." I say giving them reasons.

"Nonsense, it will be like looking after a granddaughter. It will be no trouble at all." Miroku chirps in.

"It can be quite dangerous outside in the winter, since you told us you are travelling we are worried that you'll run into trouble." Sango says with concern in her voice.

I think about what she says, they do have a point. If I run into trouble, it will be difficult since I don't have my sight. But I still have a bit of time, should I stay? I begin to ponder. Conflicted.

"I'm sure she'll be fine on her own, she seems like a human that won't deal with nonsense herself, I mean look at the way she argues with me, she just doesn't stop." I hear Inuyasha say.

"Inuyasha, please, she's a guest." Sango says with a depleted sigh.

"Indeed Inuyasha, try to keep some of your emotions hidden." Miroku adds.

"You two told me to be more open with my emotions, so I do it, and now you're telling me not too. What do you want me to do?" Inuyasha asks annoyed.

"Yes Inuyasha, but some emotions shouldn't be expressed out loud." Sango adds quietly.

Hearing him say that, my mind completely changes. I think someone should put Inuyasha in his place, I don't care if it's behaviour or not. I straighten my back and give them a bow.

"I appreciate the hospitality, and I'll be happy to accept." I say to them.

"That's great, please when you're here just act casual with us. Excuse Inuyasha." Miroku says.

"Thank you." I reply back with a nod.

I hear Inuyasha letting out a depleted groan, and I grin slightly. I guess the reason was to annoy him, it's a payback for him being such a rude demon.

"I'll go prepare a hut for you." Sango says.

"Thank you, but I should pay you for your hospitality." I say to them.

"We do not require pay, it is our duty as head of the village to see that our guests are comfortable." Miroku tells me.

"I understand but you are suggesting I stay for months, it's too long to not require payment. Please it would make me feel better." I push.

There's a brief silence.

"Alright, if you don't mind then, I would like to request a portrait of us. Would that be enough?" He suddenly says.

A drawing, that's the payment? I look at them slightly confused. I hear Miroku let out a chuckle.

"It sounds a bit ridiculous doesn't it, but I think a nice family portrait would be nice. A good memory to keep in the long run. So please would you draw a portrait of us?" Miroku asks.

"Of course, it would be my pleasure." I respond with a nod and a smile.

I retrieve my art supplies, I wet the towel and clean my hands.

"In order to sketch out you all, I'll need to feel your face. So if you don't mind." I tell them explaining my art style.

"Such talent, you can draw us just by feeling our face." Sango says amused.

"Yes, besides, the sense of touch is my only way to draw now since my sight is no longer with me." I reply with a chuckle.

"Right, totally forgot, I'll go first!" I hear Shippo say.
