If it is Fate's Plan (Open)

As the young lady smiled, Volens blushed slightly- but he noticed that something about the woman seemed not so human. He set his pack on the ground, unsure what to do. The woman’s eyes seemed to intense to belong to a human.
“What is your name?” Volens asked after a short silence.

Penn thought for a moment as she looked at Volens.
"I like to call myself Penn, but you can call me whatever you like!" Penn smiled. "Names are.easy to change.."
She couldn't help but grin as she looked into the mans light brown eyes.
"Exactly how old are you, Mr. Volens?" she blinked slowly as she watched him

Volens smiled at the woman, "I like the name Penn." He paused for a moment and answered, "I'm 17, but my birthday is in fall. I forget the exact day."
"Are you sure I can't interest you in some food? Its a very good coney."

Penn thought for a moment, then grinned lopsidedly at the man as she tilted her head and stared at him through her pale grey eyes.
"Well then, if you're going to be so persistent then I guess it wouldn't hurt!" she giggled slightly as she took another sip of her water before taking another curious look at Volens.
"Hmmmm, tell me about yourself?" she asked softly, wanting to learn about how other races lived their lives, and what they enjoyed doing...

Volens handed the young woman a piece of dried meat, and cautiously looked around for a moment. "Well, I ran away from home at a young age. I think it was in Syliras. I don’t remember much about it. I was more concearned with my survival. I followed an… interesting man for sometime. He recently died, so now Im wandering around. Trying to find some meaning in my life.” Volens took a drink of water. The womans curious eyes pried more information out of the cautious mage.

“I’ve never really had time to do much in my free time. Though I know some good ales from various Inns across the land. And I guess you’ve noticed my unique scares on my arms. The interesting man I ran away with was…” Volens looked around to make sure no one was listening in, “a reimancer. He initiated me about a year ago.” Volens sat back, and drank his water. Looking at the strange woman, and her sharp, curious eyes.

"Runaway huh?" Penn said to herself as she ate a bit of the dried meat, trying to put herself into the man's shoes as she listened to him.
"Reimancer... I'm quite an idiot... Could you explain what that is?" she asked quietly, not wanting to invite anyone else into their conversation... She had only been away from her mother for a year, and she'd heard that word before, but she had never found out what it meant!
She carefully brushed a loose strand of raven black hair behind her ear as she stared into the man's eyes... That was what she did when she was hunting other animals... She observed her preys eyes, trying to see the emotions they were feeling! But all she'd observed so far was fear, and sadness as the smaller animal realised it would die at the mercy of the deadly snow tiger she was!

As she removed those thoughts from her head, she smiled, realising that this man asked very little... It was a quality she rather liked...

The man was slightly tacken aback by the question. This woman was very unusual indeed. “Well,” Volens started, “to put it simply its magic. I don’t actually know much of the details, but I know I can change this gaseous sort of gel that comes from the scars in my arm into- well rocks. And I can control these rocks, and use them for protection.” Volens paused again, “Its not a popular skill, and my master warned me of the dangers it poses to me.” Volens drifted off at that last sentence, remembering the last day he saw his master alive.

Penn tilted her head as she listened to Volens, her eyes observing of the emotion in his eyes... The whole reimancy thing seemed deeply interesting!
Then she saw a flicker of sadness in his eyes as she wondered what he was thinking about. Then she found her hand move to his wrist and gently hold it.
"You seem sad... Please don't be!" she said softly. "Things do get better..." she kept her face as she gently squeezed his wrist whilst she recited the words her mother always told her!

Penn's hand quickly brought Volens back to the Inn. Volens smiled warmly, he had found a truly kind soul in these troubling times. He thought for a moment, then took a small half wheel of cheese out of his bag, and cleanly cut it in half with his eating knife, and motioned to Penn to take a peice. "You've been very kind to me, Penn." He softly touched her hand, then after another momemt he said, "Where are you from? And what are you looking for in Nyka?"

"Shouldn't everyone be kind? It wouldmake everywhere so much prettier and happier!" Penn smiled reassuringly at the man, then accepted a piece of the cheese as she thought about what to say.
"A year ago I lived with my mother in Avanthal, but I chose to leave and roam the land, and that's what I've been doing!" she smiled slightly. "I came here to get some safe rest, and this city just looked too pretty to ignore! I had to come see what it was like on the inside!"
Penn giggled softly, her eyes refusing to look anywhere other than Volens' face... It seemed quite calm, the face of a kind man as her mother would have said.
