Closed A Cloudy Meeting [Francesca]

[Kane]

Spring 21 513 Sanikas Pass The sky overhead was littered with clouds and a gentle breeze blew through the pass and danced through the trees, ruffling their leaves and sending some to the ground. The sun sometimes peeked out from behind the clouds, its light bringing small bursts of warmth to the ground. Kane was in a bit of a surprisingly good mood that day. Nothing special had really happened, but for him, special occurrences usually equaled bad things happening. Mostly to him. As such, the normalcy of the day was greatly welcomed. So much so, that he chose to extend this state of normal by leaving the city and its inhabitants to visit the Sanikas Pass. Of course, the pass could possibly be dangerous, so he’d brought his dog Saul along with him. He smiled to himself as the examined the surrounding area from the rock that he’d settled himself on. He’d spent enough time staring at the sky. The last time he'd been here it had been winter and the flora had changed significantly since then. Of course, at the time of his previous visit, there had been no flora. So that was different. He idly scratched Saul behind his ear, earning a happy tail wag from the dog. Any animals that may have been in the area had yet to show themselves, which was a bit disappointing. Kane had been hoping to see what kinds of creatures took residence around Wind Reach. But he was sure that if he hung around long enough he’d spot something. And perhaps if nothing showed within the bell, he’d search around for any interesting plants to study. Flowers were a bit of a guilty pleasure of his, and surely there were some lovely ones blooming in the area. It was spring after all. Only time would tell.

Francesca found herself outside the gates. She watched a people went in and out. She sat on a rock with Dusk on her shoulder. She can seem to look full Inarta until she either sits, moves, stares, and speaks it can be different. Francesca find led with her fingers waiting for something to happen. Inside of her she wanted to tackled someone and beat them, but her other half wants to give everyone a hug.... Her bipolarness keeps getting worst by the day sometimes.

Francesca repossessioned herself and started throwing rocks, at the ground. People walk past her like she was crazy but never work up the nerve to tell her. She hated that she like honesty and some friends... If they can handled her. The only friend she does have is Rema but he is old and half blind.

[Kane]

Kane had given up on finding any animals. The flower search was now on. He walked about, head pivoting in every direction, in search of any that were especially pretty. Also, he was keeping an eye out for anyone who might catch him in the act of flower picking. That was the last thing we wanted to happen. In his search, he found himself wandering closer and closer to the main path leading back into Wind Reach. It was unfortunate because that meant that there were more people about. Kane narrowed his eyes at them. More people to catch him doing something embarrassing. As he eyed the area, an Inarta girl caught his attention. She was sitting just off the path, receiving looks from the passersby's as she tossed rocks. Now that was... odd. He studied her for a bit. She had the typical Inartan red hair, though she had a bit of black as well. Her eyes were also a bright green. To Kane she looked like pretty much every other Inarta he’d ever seen. She even had a bird. But everyone who had walked by had acted strangely towards her. Curiosity peaked, he made his way over to the girl, Saul following closely behind. Kane was wary of the crow, he’d had very bad luck with most of the birds in Wind Reach, and he was not hoping for a repeat experience. Even from a closer vantage point, nothing really stood out to him about her. So why were the others acting so strangely? It was a mystery. And it wasn't one that could be answered by staring at her. He would drop it. For now. Not wanting to be caught acting like a creeper, Kane averted his eyes. Still, if she were an Inarta, perhaps she’d know where all the animals had gone. But wouldn’t that be an odd thing to bring up with a total stranger? Kane huffed. Since when did he follow social protocols. With a roll of his eyes, he chose just to speak to her. “Excuse me.” Waving a hand to her, he continued. “Do you know where any of the animals have gone?” He glanced around the area before continuing. “I’m kind of new to this area and I wanted to see what all lived here. But I can’t seem to find anything.” Kane hoped she could help him, otherwise this whole outing was for nothing.

[Francesca]

“Excuse me.” Fancesca pearl herself up and stop throwing rocks at the ground. She saw a young man dramatically waving his arms and hand at her, he continued. “Do you know where any of the animals have gone?” Francesca was amused by the man and laughed.
"Well Mr. I don't but Dusk here does." She pointed to her crow while laughing. Dusk looked over at the boy with interest.

He still continued. “I’m kind of new to this area and I wanted to see what all lived here. But I can’t seem to find anything.” Francesca nodded to show him she understands him. "I can tell.. What is your name? And where do you come from?" Dusk hopped of the branch and on the mans arm, just staring at him creepily.

[Kane]

Kane had a split-tick of disappointment when the girl said that she didn’t know where the animals had gone. Of course, this changed once she informed him that her bird did, in fact, know. At the same time, this brought the crow’s attention to him, and he flinched a bit. Wind Reach had not been kind to him when it came to birds. Within his first week in the city, he’d been attacked by wings and talons at least eleven times. This fueled an ongoing uncomfortableness, he refused to admit fear, of any avian creature. She nodded in understanding at his question, before responding. “I can tell.. What is your name? And where do you come from?” Kane opened his mouth, ready to respond, when the crow hopped onto his arm, and stared at him with its beady little eyes. He stared for a tick. “Oh Eyris why?!” He screamed, waving his arm to remove the bird before jumping behind a nearby tree and peeking out from the side. Many people in the area were not staring at him oddly. Well... That was totally not embarrassing. In an attempt to erase his earlier bout of oddness, he stepped out from behind the tree, brushing himself off an pretending as if nothing had happened. He cleared his throat. “My name is Kane. I’m from Syliras.” He eyed her a bit. “What about you? What’s your name?”
