Sol was fairly certain that she'd passed through this area once or twice before, the rough lay of the land faint within her memories, but if she were to be confident of one thing it would be that she'd never rested here. After all, an area off the main road such as this tended to be relatively... Dubious. Such as the mostly-empty bar whose doors she'd just pushed open. She would momentarily hang around by the entrance, making a note of few others around at this hour.

*The mostly empty bar was a haven for the treton. Some peace and quiet, perhaps to finally escape the commotion of the world. Yet the voices weren't silent, still whispering. A gourd of sake lay rest to a set of cups, yet only one person sat at the table. A black haired Treton, fair, but not innocent. Her eyes shifted from azure to violet to crimson at times, difficult to tell.*

*As the door creaked open, those same eyes peered to the newcomer; a woman in white, though she didn't seem to be an ordinary Macen.*
Jonathan
*Hmm. Hm. Mhm?* Her eyes, glancing from patron to patron, flitted over in the other's general direction just in time to notice her staring back. That settled it; Sol broke into a smile and approached.

"Hello." Was the first word out, once the distance between them was reduced to roughly a metre. "It's a bit embarrassing to ask, but may I take refugee at your table temporarily?"
Carolyn
*The smile was reciprocated as the woman drew closer. Refugee? Several had been kind enough to do so in the past; she could afford to do so now.*

"Oh of course, take a seat. What brings you here?"

*Yakaiyo poured two more cups out; one for the newcomer, and one for herself. Sol would notice that there were 3 other full cups on the side.*
Jonathan
Taking a seat, Sol dipped her head as she received the cup, pondering momentarily on how much to disclose. Then again, it was probably fine to reveal it for the most part?

"Thank you. I was originally to pass through here on my way to Cesinor for some clergy duties, though the journey itself got somewhat... Delayed, hence the stopover." Sol gestured towards the other filled cups. "It would be remiss of me to intrude on you any further than this when you're waiting for fellows, so please rest assured that I'll be on my way once they have arrived."
Carolyn
*A nun? Did nuns drink alcohol? Yakaiyo thought that was forbidden; though, she may have been thinking of a different sect.*

"Oh no, they're not coming any time soon. They're just symbolic, for me. Not for any religious purposes. Speaking of which, which religion are you a part of?"

*Yakaiyo took a sip of her sake, though never took her eyes off Sol.*
Jonathan
Her new acquaintance sure was sizing her up rather closely... Not that Sol was complaining. After all, attention of any kind from someone who was good-looking was itself beneficial in her books.

"Ah, where are my manners? Mine given name is Sol, a travelling clergy of Cesin's faith, though you're welcome to call me something else should you desire. And how should I address you in turn, miss?"
Carolyn
"Sol. Simple, I like it. Cesin... That name sounds familiar, though I admit I am not familiar with religion. My name is Yakaiyo, though some call me Aka for short."

*Her eyes finally moved for the first time since they met, Yakaiyo downing the rest of the sake before expertly pouring yet another cup.*
Jonathan
"And neither am I, even though I've been in the clergy for a good while, so on that count I'd say it's pretty understandable." A playful grin adorns her features briefly before it is overtaken by her customary smile. "If it is not too presumptuous of me, might I ask if you live around this parts?"
Carolyn
*An eyebrow was raised for a brief moment, before disappearing back to a porcelain face, and Yakaiyo notices the same in Sol. A nun who wasn't familiar with religion? What a bad nun...*

"Ah, I used to, somewhere here..."

*Yakaiyo waved the cup around her face, signaling that she didn't know where exactly.*

"I've just been wandering around, staying at a friend's house from time to time. I assume you do reside in Silnaria?"
Jonathan
"I do have a place of residence, yes, but most of the time it sits unused since travelling is a large part of my duties. So if you ever pass by Vunraurie and need a place to stay, the spare key is buried in the empty flowerpot." Taking a careful sip from the cup, not very bothered by the idea that someone else might overhear. After all, why be concerned when her house was simply a place to put things that she didn't usually carry around, things that she could easily buy?

"Still, wandering around, hm. Now I'm really curious as to what you do for a living."
Carolyn
"Oh, I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your generosity!"

*Vunraurie. Perhaps that would be a potential safe haven for her if she ever wanted to visit Silnaria again.*

*Yakaiyo pauses mid-sip upon Sol asking her what she did for a living. In reality, she had been sort of leeching off of Horace in exchange for helping him from time to time, and before that, had been stealing in order to gain money (and was also just stealing food). She was an apothecary a few years ago... Did she even remember how to do it?*

"Ah, I used to work as an apothecary for some time. I haven't done that in a while; I'm just wandering around for now. Not quite sure what to do."
Jonathan
*Now those are some interesting expressions.*

"Hardly. I'm just reciprocating your hospitality, after all." Setting down the cup and leaning slightly forward. Everything else considered, there was now an opportunity to be had—an opportunity that was hard to come by. After all, Yakaiyo did say she was temporarily without a job, wasn't she?

"There's nothing wrong with taking some time off to rediscover yourself, all things considered. Though the New Sunlight guild is always an option for frequent travelers."
