Summer 28 513 AV, 14th Bell
Location: Kova's Wishing Well

Artur walked about the streets of Syliras still lost as a puppy, so far he has learned only a little about the place and more so about some of the people that reside here instead. "Is it bad that I actually miss Alvadas a bit? Though confusing at least the place made sense... when it made no sense anyway." It was odd how the city of illusions worked, but what Artur learned there certainly helped him out better than herw. For instance he learned a lot about food, and here he's only struggled to learn just how the city thrives. People were drink addicts because they loved this thing called "alcohol" apparently, and if it wasn't alcohol it was another thing Artur didn't understand very well. Sex. Why the petch was nearly every human so obsessed with sex? Seriously; it was enough to drive him insane. It just baffled his mind at how this city worked, and what's worse is the fact he spent more time being lost and discovering places, instead doing the one thing he loved the most. Cooking!

Alas he yearned to cook good food, he also yearned to learn what kind of food Syliras had within it's walls. He just wanted to learn everything he could acrually, because the more time he spent here the less it made sense to him. On top of that his adventuristic approach had began to feel a bit... lonely. Everything he did he just felt he was completely and miserably alone while doing it, he almost felt like he had been missing something all along. A real purpose compared to cooking all things good, something he couldn't place a finger on quite yet but knew involved the significance of another. Thus he wandered the streets without end looking for this something, or rather someone, until he would finally tire of searching. What he didn't expect to come across was the well that sat in the midst of the street.

His curiosity got the best of him as he approached the well, flowers hung over for some sort of decoration while down below the splashes of water echoed. When Artur looked down with fascination he saw coins, many coins that glittered in the the light that reached the bottom shone up to the bear. While he hadn't a clue what this well was for other then ththe assumption of holding water, he hadn't the slightest idea why a person would throw away all their coin in a well when they could put it to better use. Like buying food or something. It made little sense to him as well as everything else, and so the bear shook his head and stared at the water below. Unaware of any people that may approach him.

Gods where is it?

Shiress scurried through the busy afternoon streets, her green eyes frantically scanning the path before her. "Oh, excuse me. Pardon me. I'm sorry." She said as she bumped and knocked into those that passed her, but she never looked up to see who it was she was apologizing to.

She was retracing the same path she had taken just a bell or so earlier hoping desperately to find the ring that had slipped off her slender finger. The ring was a simple golden band given to her by her parents on her 14th birthday, but it was much more than a birthday present. This ring meant the world to Shiress. It was the last thing her parents gave her before she would see them for the last time only 12 days later.

I have to find it!

She came to a sudden stop, pushing away hair from her face as she glanced around in a tearful panic, her eyes darting from one avenue and building to the next with hopes of spotting a tiny glint of gold. She had almost completely retraced her steps without finding her ring anywhere, but there was one place she had forgotten about visiting. "The wishing well!" She called out as she spun around and right into the chest of a rather large bearded man, knocking herself back more than him. "Oh, pardon me, sir." She said, stepping around the man before dashing off again.

Just as the well came into view she remembered tossing a coin into it's depths before stepping away. Her heart sunk thinking that her ring must have slipped from her finger and joined the coin as it fell to it's watery grave. Slowly, she stepped forward as tears streamed down her face. There would be no way to retrieve the ring and the knights surely wouldn't drain the well just for her.

Her hands met the stone edge as she stepped up and slowly peered over. Her hair slipped gently from her shoulders as the tips of her toes leaned her body far over the opening , hooping in vain to see a glint of gold that wasn't a stray miza.

"It's gone, it's really gone." She whimpered.

oocVery sorry for the wait and thank you for your substancial amount of patience!

"Yeah, obviously this is a waste. People who don't buy food just simply throw it away in these... 'things' obviously." He debated the very idea with a disdainful frown, almost as though he were a frugal scrooge really. Artur just couldn't decide the idea rubbish or foolish, but all the same it made very little sense to him. "What 'is' this thing anyway, and why do people hang flowers over it when its got water inside? If people were smarter back then maybe they'd use it as a drinking source instead of miza wastebin of some sort." He sighed with a slow shake of his head, disapproval clearly evident as he decided to move on. That was when she who would be crying decided to show.

"Gone? What's gone?" He peered down into the well intently and searched deeply, but all his eyes found was the glitter and gleam of water with shimmers of gold, silver, and copper alike. "Your coin? Your jewel? Your lucky charm?" His curiosity searched out all of these, and nothing seem to stood out from his view. Not even with a scrunch in his expression to focus more on the objects below, the distance was too far it seems. "Bah! I can't see much of anything." He gave up and took a step back with rubs to his eyes as they watered from so much staring, when the water buildup finally cleared from his view he looked upon the woman once more.

She was clearly sad that she lost this item, rather devasted by the looks of it actually. It made him feel sad for her now that he gazed upon her, sad enough to where he decided to reach out and see if he could help this Syliran. "They can't be all bad." He figured with a shrug of he shoulders, though his previous experiences with some other people easily objected the statement. "H... Hey lady?" He raised a hand up and steadily waved it to grab her attention, since he was pratically on the other side of the well. "Why are you crying? Is there something I can do to help?" He offered with a sincere smile, at best he could give her a hug if that's all it took.

Artur may not know a lot of this place nor it's people, but the best he could do was take this as a learning experience. A wonderful opportunity to meet and interact with a local, while at the same time feel good that he could help a woman such as her in any way possible.
