Masenai stirred in his sleep. He heard the Princess's nigtmare throes. They've been happening for some of the week they've been running to him. He kept still, sticking to his training of silence. "Sensei, this woman might be the death of me." The Ninja thought. When he felt it safe enough for him to get up without her fretting that she woke him, he rose up and stretched. Rubbing his face he looked at Himeka when she said they needed supplies. "Well, I don't see why not. We left sooner then expected. That attack jumped us ahead a few days. But I have enough money to get us more provisions." he stated. I will also try and reimburse what we buy if I find certain places to boost our financial needs." Besides, if food was short, he'd get blamed if he starved the princess!
But it also gave him an opportunity for him to go and gather info in his own unique way. By flirting with any local women and swooning them. That's all he'd go for, just sweeping. Nothing else, for he only slept with one woman, one time. Even that was a special case. He took the bowls silently and passed them to the Princess and waited for his food. "I suggest, Hime-san, we try and pass off as people who saw the fire, but simply need a wash if we're to reach any bathhouses. It's either that or we try to find a river."
As soon as his bowl came, he would eat the stew as moderately as possible. If he ate too fast he'd have gotten a bellyache. Too slow, and The unexpected duo would waste precious time. "I also trust you to buy only what we need to survive. Essentials only. Nothing beyond food, water, sake, and whatever else you think necessary. Now then, I believe a village is not far from here if memory serves." he hoped at least saying this much will cheer the Princess up from her situation.
