Sefton took the edge of the bills and placed them on his own. He was a little surprised that Chivy didn't make any sort of comment, but pushed that thought aside for now. To the attendant, he said, "Two keys."

She gave a small, tired smile in understanding and began ringing up the transaction. After the keys were readied, she set them out in front of the two boys. "Room 207. Thank you for choosing to stay with us tonight."

Taking one of the keys, Sefton readjusted his bag on his shoulder and stuffed his wallet into it. Without actually saying anything more, he began his trek to the stairwell at the side of the lobby.
