Ruby smiled when Yvarn was now on board with getting both outfits. It seems like their charms worked well. "My hero. Whatever could I do repay such kindness?" Ruby gave Yvarn a grin and a wink as he floated back to change into what he was wearing when he came in.

Which...was less clothing compared to both of the outfits he was now getting. Huh.

Anyway, Ruby floated out with all the clothes neatly folded and floating directly behind him. He made his way towards the cashier and placed the clothes down on the counter. Ruby then cleared his throat. An attempted English language.
"Me is get-" he frowned, stopped, and tried again. "I get these. Sexy lizard buy for me." There was differently some weird alien accent going on there but he was clearly having progress!

"I'm just being charitable to a fellow alien, that's all!", he responded with a kind smile and heading with Ruby to the cashier. At their attempt at communication, Yvarn sounded a little surprised, but rather than intervene directly he just let Ruby tap on him a little: "I will be having these, please. This gentleman with me has agreed to pay.", and when prompted to Yvarn would intervene.

Ruby listened to carefully to Yvarn's words and then nodded. It was starting to make sense what he needed to say and how to form and pronounce the words with his mouth. He mouth a few words first to get a feeling for them first. When he felt comfortable with enough to try again, he cleared his throat and looked directly at the cashier. And then he spoke. "I will be having these, please. This gentleman with me has agreed to pay."

Perfect English. Ruby just smiled all smug like and look back to Yvarn for approval. "Is that good enough?" He asked Yvarn as he went back to using telepathy to communicate.

Yvarn gave a reassuring nod and completed the purchases, as he had agreed to. "Good thing my accent hasn't been slipping this time. Because ssssssometimesss thissss happenssss.", as he "spoke" his tongue would flick out every now and then to match his accent, him laughing briefly after, to the confusion of bystanders.

"Now, I'm going to show you the best places to stay a night. Yes, places. There's a good bunch of hotels for real cheap, and most includes 3 meals a day in the base cost. The cheapest ones however doesn't include meals, which would mean going to the bar or restaurant.", he walked out the store with Ruby and onto for the search of the hotels.

"Oh?" Ruby chuckled upon hearing what Yvarn's accent sounded like. When everything was paid for and placed in bags, Ruby floated them up and had the bags follow behind them.

"Cheap hotels hmm?" That wasn't really Ruby's style. Cheap hotel rooms usually weren't that great on any planet or station they went too. When they did have food, the food was also crappy as fuck. Well, Ruby would at least have to see what Yvarn showed him first before making a final judgement. Yvarn seemed to be in the know and he has been a treat so far. Surely he wasn't just going to ditch Ruby at some shitty hotel. Right?

"Well where to first?" Ruby spoke in his mind as he floated up beside to him to hug onto Yvarn's arm again.

"Well, from where I come the cheap hotels are comparable to one big family where people come and go. You know, it's one of those planets where crime rates are so low you can sleep with the window open and all lights off. Not that I'd advise though. Experience talks, bug bites can be nasty midsummer.", Yvarn explained with a small laugh, "Not the case here though. When it comes to bugs, that is. Way way fewer bugs."

It was a long trek until they wound up in from of a quite small and simple building. However the outside was surely well-treated, and a floral fragrance came from within. "The minimum stay time here is a couple hours, and with a small fee to boot. In other words, ideal place for when someone wants to just have a comfortable bed, clean water and bathroom. There's a nearby restaurant a block away, 4/5 stars, that you can go for at least two meals a day.", and then at the counter he requested a brief tour, to which a small round drone would guide them and show a room for them. Despite the building's smaller outside... "It's bigger on the inside.", and sure it was.

So far first impressions were not so great. The building wasn't really that nice looking to them. The lobby left a lot to be desired and there was no breakfast or dinner area here. The only good thing so far was how spacious it seemed.

"Hm. Right, hopefully the rooms are good." Ruby communicated to Yvarn as the tour drone appeared. He continued hugging on to Yvarn's arm as the drone lead the way.

The room was.....stayable. It was big so that was good but it was pretty basic. Nothing too fancy and the beds were-
Ruby released Yvarn's arm and then floated over to try the bed. He placed his hands on it and pressed down a bit. He then laid down and just laid there for a few moments. "Hm, this bed isn't as comfortable as I would hope but....it will do."

Ruby floated up off the bed and returned to Yvarn's side again. "Where are the other hotels we can check out?"

"I can tell from looks alone, the bed is a little bit hard. I'm not someone for a lot of comfort, however, even if I am the son of a diplomat.", and after giving the summary of their thoughts to the drone as well, Yvarn would lead Ruby out and into the next hotel... And another, and another... A constant among them was in regards to the bed not being very comfortable, some had the bonus of including three daily meals (which were for some instant meals of high quality, while others were home-cooked by someone who had experience in cooking for their own family).

But the last one Yvarn had to show was... Quite something to behold. The sign implied something indecent should be going on within, and given it was next doors to a bunch of love hotels it sure gave that impression. "Of the cheap ones, this is the most expensive. But the minimum stay is one week, 3 meals a day handled by a partnered restaurant, discount at their bar and club. From what I was told in a nearby club, this one attempted to provide "special services" to keep their guests staying here for longer, but forgot to research fetishes that could get them hooked to the place. Yes, they still offer "special services", but it is in their secret menu.", Yvarn gave an embarrassed laugh.

But this final place was already blowing the previous hotels out of the water.

A week stay with three free meals a day from an actual restaurant? Sign Ruby the fuck up already. Ruby was containing his eagerness as he floated around the lobby area and just looking at things.

"Special services?" Ruby's voice laughed in Yvarn's head. So this was just a low key love hotel or something. That was fine actually. From Ruby's personal experience, love hotels usually have nice rooms with a good bath & shower. "I'm not really interested in the special services at the moment but I will keep it in mind."

Ruby floated over back to Yvarn at the help desk and then asked to see what the rooms were look like. The person behind the desk pulled up a couple of pictures ranging from the standard room to the Deluxe VIP room. They reaaaaally wanted to get that VIP room now.

Ruby seemed to have caught the eyes of the alien working behind the desk. Which gave him a great idea.

Yvarn would suddenly feel like something disconnected. Ruby just hugged into his arm all innocent like as the receptionist alien behind the desk looked briefly surprised and then flustered a bit. They were blushing hella hard. A couple of seconds later and Yvarn would hear Ruby's voice in his head again.

"Hm, I think we can get a discount on the VIP room." Ruby stated innocently as the receptionist avoided eye contact with Ruby.

"It's good to know anyways, right?", Yvarn tried not to chuckle this time, mainly because Ruby suddenly disconnected from him and... Something got the receptionist blushing. "What do you mean with that, Ruby?", he was slightly embarrassed himself, "What did you show or tell them?!", and of course he'd not ask the receptionist at all
