PM to join [The Pigs Foot] On Dry Land (Kechaiya)

[Iosena]

Iosena looked thoughtful and distant for a moment, "no, I meant do you have advice on living in Sunberth? I'd rather not run into trouble."

She resumed fiddling with the bird as a way of keeping her hands away from her head and the horns. "Everything is fine, I'm still just getting used to things here. It's very different than where I'm from."

What an under statement that was, she had fallen from peace into a land of turmoil and strife. At least in Wind Reach she could have seen what might be left of her family. Though, who knows if they would have accepted her. She caught a glance of her hand out of the corner of her eye and noted the skin was starting to get more luminescent.

"Why is this place so violent? I know little of it from the other side of the world."

[Kechaiya]

Kechaiya had guffawed at the woman's question, deciding to repeat something Calyn used to say. "Trust person as far can throw. Learn fight or run. Mizas are everything." It didn't get any simpler than those three truths. Master them all, and you'd be just fine. Done with her food, Kechaiya leaned back in her chair, foot supporting her from the leg of the table. She continued to sip at her wine now, though slower. Looking around the room, she noticed that it was surprisingly calm and quiet tonight. Not that she was complaining.

Casting her eyes back toward the woman, she thought she saw a shimmer or something from the woman's skin. When she looked closer she was sure if it was a trick of light or what, but something was different about her skin than it how it was prior. And Kechaiya made no effort to hide her scrutiny. "Every city violent. Only different is who hurt who. Here, everyone hurt everyone. What you do to hand? Is... is like Leth. Light making."

Kechaiya's gut instinct was that this was magic, and therefore dangerous and bad. Her eyes locked on the woman, hoping for an answer that said anything to the contrary. Because the woman seemed nice enough, if a bit odd, but what foreigner wasn't. And she really didn't feel like seeing a lynching on a night that she had such a full belly.

[Iosena]

"M..mmm..maybe I should go," Iosena stammered out, no longer so sure of herself.

"Leth and I have a sort of uhmm..." she tried to figure out the best way to phrase it "bond? It would seem that Syna is taking her leave and so, things are shifting."

Iosena nervously picked up her little glass bird and placed it in a pocket. "It was nice to meet you and I hope I didn't cause any trouble."

That look had dashed any hopes she'd had of getting through this without incident. She wondered, not for the the first time, if there were other fallen who could give her advice on this situation. In a place like this she was doubtful they'd stick around, if Leth was listening, she could really use some help.


She fumbled around in her pouch and pulled out the coins to pay for her meal. She slapped them down on the table and stood to leave.
