A new friend in a vast world[Cresent]

[Keda]

Keda walked in a small anique place. Though it seemed abandond and very little people were there, he enjoyed the quiet air from the outside glares. Maybe there was a kind soul who could be just as nice as him, like the other two he had met, they were kind, one was even to say cute. Would he meet another today?

He picked up a cute little figurine of a wolf and put it back, finding chairs to sit in, maybe read a book or something. He'd love to get his knowlege up a bit more, maybe even think about old times, but even still, he waited there as he sat down, his hawk still on his shoulder, soon hopping down to his lap and laying against him. His lean figure all too familiar to her.

Keda laughed and grabbed a book that lay next to him on a small table, the clirk keeping an eye on him. Just because he was a killer, he knew how to act civil and knew what to do in a city, it was to behave and listen/follow the rules there. As he began to read he would look up eachtime a bell would ring indicating someone leaving or entering; it was a habit.

[Crescent]

It was another day on the run and she'd just bunkered down and entered an inn. She was a regular having faired passengers of the area short distances as well as cargo in her time in the region. Most faces we're quite familiar- all except a few including a few semenestras which surprised her. She'd heard a lot about them- but never thought she'd actually see one. 

She walked in with full confidence- being as familiar as she was nodded to her fellows in a kind greeting. Just wanting to rest her aching feet took the nearest seat absent mindedly- which happened to be next to the lad. She'd been working hard since yesterday- working part time jobs never really was easy- she happened to pull an all nighter that day.

 Her out look was rugged but carried an exotic foreign kind of beauty. Having dyed her hair dark brown didn't look like the average konti- her piercing eyes seemed indifferent to the world as well. She didn't really notice the semenestra was sitting there until a minute or so later when she got startled and stood up "  sorry didn't realize this table was taken" Her lyrics were soft spoken and gentle

[Keda]

"Oh no, it's not taken, I really don't mind. I'm Keda Nightshade, and you are?" He smiled and extended a long arm though not extended all the way. His calming honey voice automatically made the other relax around him even if it wasn't on purpose. He laughed and kept petting the hawk in his lap with his dark sharp nails.

When she would or wouldn't shake his hand he would pull it away and look at the book he put back down. "Are you okay? You seemed rushed and hurt. Though you don't need to listen to me." A hand ran through his hair then back down.

[Crescent]

Once she gathered herself she just stared at his out stretched hand. She
slowly reached for it and shook it, then recoiled- giving him a sizing up kind of look. He really did not fit the quota of the semenestra as she was described by many travelers- he actually seemed quite nice. Not one to disclose private information to strangers just replied " friends call me Cres " 

Being too lazy didn't want to go walk to another seat and just sat herself down as a waitress came to take their orders . " I'll just have the usual please" she stated in a matter of fact business kind of tone- their waitress just nodded with a kind small smile before she tuned to the lad across from her. Cres  then looked at Keda as she awaited to place his order.
The book in his hand caught her attention. " what are you reading?"

[Keda]

He was happy to receive a shake back, normally no one wanted to touch a man like him. He only smiled at her quizzical look, then to the waitress. "I'll have nothing, It's fine." When he looked down at the book he held it was rather tick and he did wonder what he was reading. "To be honest, I don't know, I was just skimming through it. I normally can't read big books unless I skim, other than that.. How are you? And I'm glad I can call you that, considering we only just met." Being a fan of meeting kind should he was still on edge, considering that one time..though he didn't want to talk or think about that.

He sat the book down and looked at it. "I guess I was reading something old, it looks it, not mention it sounds it."

[Crescent]

Chuckling was very relieved with the light atmosphere for once. Cres was not one to socialize , but she figured she'd make an exception for this guy, he really had a way of feeding her curiosity. The waitress nodded and left to return with Crescent's beef stu. The scent was mouthwatering and she couldn't wait to dig in but felt really awkward for being the only one with food on the table.

Her eyes dropped to the book and smiled, "It is old but not old enough to feed book worms " yes this was the best she could pull for humor - not really comfortable around boys always felt awkward and always tried to be more playful than anything else in the hopes the other would not think wrongly of her.
"so what brings you to this side of the world ?" she quizzed in a curious kind hearted tone.

[Keda]

"Well, I don't want to be stollen away, I don't want to die where I am not welcome, and traveling has seased to a stop till my sister can come to travel a lot with me in the fall. So I explore, curious and unhatful. I swear, I was born with another's soul or something, I truely don't fit with my race. I mean don't get me wrong, I love my race and everything about it, it's just, killing women and mating with them..sends shivers up my spine. I do or rather did harvest for them, I just won't, mate."

Keda laughed nervously, noting the good smelling soup, the one thing that was something he could accually have because of it's softness. He looked the other way and down to the floor as not to cause her more discomfort her as she ate. "What has brought you here if you don't mind me asking either..?"

[Crescent]

His story was quite nerve racking but she appreciated his blunt honesty, which she figured was really rare. She quirked up a small smile as she noticed him look at the soup and offered him some " Want to try some ?" she offered as she looked around.
At the mention of his question commented " Funny you ask. My story is like yours, am running from my Isurian relatives - dad side" she laughed at how it sounded in her head- for all anyone was concerned she probably was engaged and had run away. Shaking the mental humor added" been living on the sea ever since"

She then waited for him to respond to her question to try her soup with a light smile.

[Keda]

"I'm sorry, I hope it gets better for you. And about the soup, sure, I haven't had regular food in awhile." He grabbed the bowl gently from her hands, smiling at her own light smile. She was kind and not like the others, though there was something about her that made him think she really didn't care, but it was just a feeling. Her story wasn't like his at all, not really. Running from responsibility was the only thing.

When he brought the bowl to his soft gray lips he sipped in the hot soup, sighing in relief that it tasted good. It smelt good so why wouldn't it, right? "Thank you, it was delicious. It would seem that regular food is more tastier than a corpses insides.. I'm sorry, too much information huh?" Keda laughed nervously and handed the girl the soup just as gently as he took it.

[Crescent]

Light atmospheres were a luxury she didn't enjoy very often and was quite happy he likes the soup. " you can order some- it will be on me " she offered kindly as she broke the crunchy bread that lay in the center of the table. And just as she had taken a bite after dipping it into the hot broth she chuckled at his comment about giving too much information. Clearing her throat Cres looked at him with a playful look " maybe"

Leaning back in her chair looked all around and sighed " So how long Do you intend in staying in Syliras?" she added politely " you don't have to Answer if you are not comfortable though " she had a thoughtful look now.
