Strange Place...

[Chiyanna]

While traveling, Chiyanna came upon the town of Livsk. She eyed everything curiously, and eventually walked into the Plaza. Zephano would be fascinated by this place, she thought. A sense of sorrow swept over her. She remebered how much she missed Zephano, and the way his eager blue eyes would light up, whenever he spoke with her when they were able to eat an actual meal. Chiyanna shook her head. No. She couldn't think like this- she had to focus on getting something to eat. Her mouth watered when she noticed someone walking by, eating something, but she didn't know where any food stands or shops were. She had never been here before.

[Ian]

"...Drink... Need a drink..." Mumbled Ian as he stumbled through the plaza. He had been there the day before, but returned by accident, without booze. He groaned and closed his eyes with tiredness, suddenly bumping into Chiyanna.

[Chiyanna]

Chiyanna didn't notice Ian, until he bumped into her, and almost tripped when he did. "Doma- I mean, I didn't mean for you to bump into me," she said quickly. She put her left hand on her forehead and sighed. Pay attention, she mentally scolded herself.



(CaluyeetenLanguage:
Doma: Sorry)

[Ian]

Ian however, did trip the second he made contact with her. He fell back first on the ground, coughing abruptly. "Yah, it was my fault..." He grunted, wobbling his body in some attempt to get up.

[Chiyanna]

"Um, are you alright? Lefand," Chiyanna said, offering a hand politely.




(Lefand:Here)

[Ian]

Ian grabbed her wrist, pulling himself up. "Yea, thanks. Got any?" He asked quickly, his eyes dashing from side to side hastily.

[Chiyanna]

Chiyanna frowned, confused. "Have any...?" she asked. She let out an ashamed breath. She probably did't have what Ian had asked for. She didn't have anything at all, besides her small reed flute, her necklace, and what she was wearing. No food, and now with Zephano gone, well... Chiyanna held her tears back. She had no time to weep, like a helpless child.

[Ian]

"Er..." Ian raised an eyebrow, taking in the girl's teary eyes. "Sorry, didn't know... You can keep it... Unless you'd rather sell it to me?" He didn't understand her feelings, thinking she was sad because of the thought of losing any alcohol she could have.

[Chiyanna]

"Sell? I don't have anything," Chiyanna said quietly, "Naúlí." She stared at the sky bitterly, after saying that terrible word. Nothing.






(Naúlí: nothing)

[Ian]

"Ah..." Ian sighed with a gulp. "Sooo thirsty..." He then glanced at each passing person, talking to Chiyanna at the same time. "I tried finding an ABC... But I ended up back here."

[Chiyanna]

'I assume you are looking for a drink, but what do you mean ABC?" Chiyanna asked curiously, the sorrowful expression leaving her face. She glanced around her. "Where am I? " she asked softly.

[Ian]

Ian scratched the back of his head. "Oh. So you don't even know you're way around here... Maybe that dude was lying about the ABC..." He pondered, drowsily blinking.

[Chiyanna]

Chiyanna tilted her head slightly. Ian did seem like he drank a lot. She stared at him cautiously. In her her culture, people hardly drank, and they looked down upon it. But I'm not among them anymore, Chiyanna mentally told herself. Besides Ian seemed harmless. "What does this place have?" Chiyanna asked.

[Ian]

Ian half smiled, looking up at the sky. "Ahh... ABC and many other places... They contain alcohol. My bestest buddy. You should really try some. It makes everything so much better." The sun shone brightly, though when Ian realized he was only speaking of his beloved, a couple dark clouds covered it. "Eh. Glorious."

[Chiyanna]

"Well, I don't drink," Chiyanna said politely. She eyed the area around her. Surely this place had more to offer than alcohol. "Is there anything else here?" she asked hopefully. And please don't mention anything to do with alchoholic beverages, she thought pleadingly.

While waiting for a moment for Ian to reply, Chiyanna noticed an interesting bird. Although not normally distracted, Chiyanna was curious and began to follow it, away from Ian and out of the plaza.
