PM to join (The Rearing Stallion) Lucy looks for a friend

[Lucy Tides]

Lucy couldn't help but smile as Adilliana seemed to have all the answers to what she was looking for. When a waitress set down food on the table she suddenly remembered her hunger that had been forgotten in sorrow but came back at the sight of food. She nodded at Adilliana and took a bite.

"It's great!"She exclaimed and took another bite. "I will pay for this." She said in a demanding tone but she felt like she owed this woman a lot just for the help she was offering. She had finished her food and set back in the chair.

"I wouldn't mind going on an adventure with you or even making a new pod." She blurted out honestly then cursed herself silently knowing that most do not just abandon their pod but she did not apologize because she meant every word of it.'I wonder if I can remake this pod in the next few years... I wouldn't care if the members were even Svefra or not. Just kindred spirits all in search of the same thing as I am, adventure and knowledge.'

[Adilliana]

Adilliana smile as Lucy dug in to her portion of the meal with gusto. It seems that memories have made Lucy forget her appetite. Adilliana found great joy in this his company and was glad to have someone to share the meal with. However, she did not turn down with his offer to pay. Besides, it seemed that Lucy had already made up her mind with a chuckle Adilliana nodded and turned her attention to her own plate.

"I wouldn't mind going on an adventure with you or even making a new pod." the words came out of the blue, causing Adilliana to choke on her current mouthful.

could she actually mean that? Was all Adilliana could think she struggled in her away. When she was finally able to breathe again. She looked in to boost his honest face and could see she actually meant those words.

"As much as I would love to accept your offer, my presence would prejudice other Svefra against you. I can see you mean well Lucy and I wouldn't want to be a burden on such a caring person." As Adilliana spoke the words she felt all emotion slipping from her face, leaving a blank. The knowledge that her words were true registered Adilliana is heart and she was forced to hide her face as tears slide down her cheeks.

[Lucy Tides]

The waitress came back and Lucy gave her six small mizas as she waited for Adilliana to respond not noticing her struggle to do so. 'Everyone needs time to think I guess.'

"As much as I would love to accept your offer, my presence would prejudice other Svefra against you. I can see you mean well Lucy and I wouldn't want to be a burden on such a caring person." Lucy stared at her new friend as she started to cry after saying this. A painful feeling spread through her chest as she watched. Lucy put her hand on Adilliana's shoulder and squeezed trying to get her attention.

"I don't care what other Svefra think about you but I believe you are a good person and if the Svefra are good people then they will not hold any prejudice against me if we were to adventure together or even make a pod." Lucy said with a smile and let her hand fall from Adilliana's shoulder. She didn't move her eyes away form Adilliana's though so she could gauge her reaction.

[Adilliana]

Adilliana was having a hard time recomposed herself despite Lucy is comforting words. The simple fact was that she was not used to such kindness. Because Adilliana had been mistreated by her pod to come to hold the belief that all Svefra would see her in the same light. The way, which Lucy and acted seriously undermined that core belief.

Adilliana love the ocean, but in the heart of hearts, she did not wish to return to the point where she was labelled as a curse. The mother's Journal, which had been given to her by Lia Pearl had disapproved this belief, within its pages were the details that stated that the non-Svefra traits have been handed down to her by her father, who had been outside. However, it was unlikely that the members of her pod would accept this. And then appeared Lucy someone who was offering her everything she had ever dreamt of.

"May I have some time to think about your offer?" Adilliana asked as she looked up her eyes now dry but read from the tears she had previously shed.

[Lucy Tides]

Lucy just couldn't get a grasp of what Adilliana was thinking no matter how long she stared at her blue eyes. She tried looking at her body language next but the woman wasn't moving making it even more difficult to predict what she would say.

"May I have some time to think about your offer?" Lucy smiled at Adilliana and nodded.

"Not to worry, like I said before, I have no intention of leaving without becoming fluent in common and getting some mizas." Lucy said switching from common to fratava when she did not know a word. The pain in her chest disappeared as fast as it had come. She still smiled at Adilliana noticing her eyes had turned red. 'I feel bad for this girl... I hope that one day she won't need to cry over such things and be as open as Lacey was.'

"Although I do need a place to stay. Know where I can go?" She asked. 'I just got into the city and I really don't feel like walking back to my ship to spend the night. To much work.' Lucy tapped her fingers on the table in a steady rhythm.

[Adilliana]

Adilliana Smiled briefly at Lucy grateful for so time to think over her options. With the Winter coming to an end it really was the Ideal time to return to the sea, Adilliana just needed to decide if it was want she wanted. She sigh and closed her eye picturing the mentle map of the city she had made.

“There are many places that will provided lodging it really depends on your budget, there are a few inns where food and drink are provided as well as beds. The two most well know are the The White Swan Inn and the The Hearlds Arms or on can rent an Apartment at Travellers Row. All three are own my way home so I be happy to show you.

She open her eyes and watch Lucy as she waited for an answer.

[Lucy Tides]

Lucy stopped tapping her fingers and got up from her chair. She stretched her arms high above her head and twisted once to the right then once to the left each time cracking a bit of her vertebrae.

"Well If I am to be a working woman of Syliras then a rented apartment sounds very nice." She said taking the cloak off the chair and gently sliding over her shoulders. "One more thing." She said and paused as she tied the ribbon at the top of her cloak to keep it form slipping of then continued. "I don't mind if you don't come with me out to sea and I'm already indebted enough for you showing me around but promise me this. No matter where you go, don't ever call yourself a burden. No matter what you have done or will do, real friends are there for you and can see through silly mistakes that have made people in the past call you a burden." Lucy said and smiled brightly at her new friend. 'I wonder why she thinks of herself as such but I better not pester her.'

[Adilliana]

Thinking this is the Adilliana stood up from the table and donned her cloak. She blushed bright red at Lucy's words. No matter where you go, don't ever call yourself a burden it was hard to accept the words at face value, but he could see no deception in Lucy's honest face. At length Adilliana nodded.

"I'll try. Now you follow me, I'll show you to Travellers Row."
