New life.

As they enter the inn, AeHee immediately approaches the owner to ask for a room, while LaNi remains behind.
"Three coppers per night", lazily says the man.
"Copper? Aish... hang on!" He opens his backpack and starts to search among the stuff, finally extracting a cloth sack, closed by a golden string. He takes a medium sized diamond from it. "What about this? It's more than what you ask, isn't it?"
The man 'wakes up' at the sight of that shiny gem and immediately checks if it's real. And it is. "You can stay forever, keep the room forever, neauri!!" He gives him a key, still looking app ecstatic and excited.
"Gomawo!" AeHee takes rhe key and approaches LaNi. "Let's go, Jeoha!"
"You must not call me that way!" scolds LaNi.
AeHee looks down. "Mianhe... I have to bite my tongue every time I have to speak to you so informally..." He sighs. "My old father must be struggling in his grave for such insolence!"
"I'm nobody here. You owe me no formality."
"But..."

They proceed to the room, a very poor and dirty place. "Oh Shii... what's this? Did they give us a stable? With what I paid..." AeHee clenches his fist. "I'll go to search for cleaning tools so that I can try to give a decency to this room."
LaNi approaches the bed, literally made of straw under some dirty cloth and dusty blankets, and leaves his backpack on the small table near it. "Aniyo. You must be exhausted. Let's sleep."
"Jeoha..." he whines in a touched tone. "It's so unfair... you shouldn't be in this disfhsfing place..." Crying again already.
AeHee takes off his robe and place it on top of the bed, it's surely cleaner than anything else there.
"You'll freeze..." complains LaNi.
"Aniyo, in fine. This room is warm enough. Let's sleep!" He smiles and motions LaNi to lie down, then lies right next to him on the bed.

The next morning, AeHee wakes up early and leaves a ticket to LaNi, stating: I'm going to exchange some money and buy us clothes. I'll come back soon, don't worry!
And walks out of the inn, in underwear (the long classic one from historical k-dramas), heading towards the market of the village.
He finds a pawn stand where he exchanges another gem for less than 1/5 its value, but for that moment it has to do.
He gets 3 solvers which is more than enough to buy a very cheap peasant outfit for himself.
He wears it right away and buys a more dignified thing for LaNi to wear, then remains to walk around the market for some more time, wanting to learn more.
