"I've always wanted to visit Runra, maybe I will sometime soon." *She maintained that never waivering smile. She finished her tea and set the cup aside.* "Do you have loved ones back home? Or are you completely free to travel?"
Simon
"Maybe I could take you. I know the area a little more than a stranger would after all."
*He smiled back, another offer to seemingly repay his debt. Although the smile seemed to die on his face as the canifore mentioned his home. He glances away, nodding solemnly.*
"No... No, I'm free to travel. I'm afraid there's not much left for me back home.*

*He shakes his head, deciding to finish his tea as well.*
"That's enough about me though... What about you? Any family, loved ones in these parts?"
John
*She shook her head in responce to the question.* "I never really knew my parents. I grew up in the poorer parts of Atshim. I suppose I was a little adventurer even back then, there's still parts of the city that are unexplored. This used to be a Silnarian city until we conquered it, now a lot of it's in ruins and overgrown." *She drummed her fingers on the table.* "Besides, i'm over thirty years old now, we don't live as long as the other races, my parents probably passed away already." *She spoke softly, but her smile didn't falter.*
Simon
"Seems a common story... I only wish I could change that."
*Gabriel wonders about the old ruins mentioned. He supposed every town had an extensive history. History that seemed quite depressing, through war and fallen empires. Even the personal history between the two was quite a damper.*

"If it's any consolation, you don't look a day over twenty. *I thought you were younger than me to be honest...*"
*The Trenton gave a sort of chuckle. It may of been inappropriate, but he really hadn't another way to lighten the mood besides a joking compliment.*
John
"Oh? You think I have a youthful appearance?" *She said a little jokingly, leaning forward in her seat and giving head a little pat.* "Thank you. I'm glad to hear it at least. I'm thirty three, and you?"
Simon
*Gabe would wince once more as his head was pet. A common enough action for him to stop questioning it. Perhaps Mira was just a very physical person, not that he minded. Although, shouldn't he be petting her instead?*
"I turned twenty five just a few months ago I believe... It gets sorta difficult to track the time when I'm on the move."
John
*She smiled and nodded.* "I also forget how old I am. I write it down actually, I put a mark for every year that passes." *She gently scratched behind his ear before pulling her hand back.* "So what are your pland while in the federation?"
Simon
*The man stares as he receives scratches behind the ear as if he were a dog. The action itself not nearly as confusing as the small enjoyment he got out of it.*
"I mostly plan to see the sights, experience the cultures. Visit the chapels and cathedrals that liter the world in offering to deities foreign to my own. Some call it heresy, but I call it interesting really."
John
"That's a good way of seeing the world. So many people are far too dogmatic for their own good. We mortals don't really know the truth, all faiths could be true at the same time, or only one could be true. There has to be some reason people across the world believe in different things and not just one faith." *She approved, at least!*
Simon
"I'm glad you agree."
*Gabe Gabe a sigh of relief, his faith in Mira proving itself well. After all, such a confession might leave him on the streets once again.*
"Yes, there must be some reason to it all. The world simply could not be so chaotic yet so meticulous... I'm really glad you approached me, Sister Mira. It has been a long while since I've talked this long with someone before."
John
"I knew you'd be fun to talk to. You have an exotic outlook on things." *She smiled and stood up.* "Would you like some dinner? I have some beef and vegitable soup cooking." *She took a few steps towards the kitchen but waited for his answer.*
Simon
"Oh- Yes please! That was one of your conditions anyway, wasn't it?"
*He watches the beastly woman get up, glancing to his stuff. He had plenty of time to unpack later... He needed something to occupy himself.*
"Do you need a hand? I've been told I'm fairly good in the kitchen."
John
"It's been cooking for a while now, just need to check on it and put it in some bowls." *She smiled warmly at his offer, but shook her head.* "You can come get a drink, if you want." *Inside the kitchen it smelt pretty good! She had some jars and pitchers of various drinks, and fresh oranges he could squeeze if he wanted to.*
Simon
*Gabe nodded at the offer, standing as he joined Mira in the kitchen. He glances around, spotting the pot that a delicious smell seemed to come from. As if on command, his stomach growls rather embarrassingly.*
"Eheh- Guess I am pretty hungry..."

*Gabe looked for the pot of tea, hoping to get a refill of that delicious drink.*
"Will I be taking the couch, sister Mira?"
*He questioned while he poured himself a glass and one for her as well.*
John
"I said make yourself at home, didn't I? Sleep wherever you'd like to." *She smiled as she brought the pot into the dining room with two bowls and a big spoon. She filled up both bowls and sat down.* "There's the couch, the floor or the bed upstairs. It's quite a big bed!"
Simon
*Once more, Gabe followed after the canine woman. Setting the two cups down and taking his seat once more, smiling down at the soup.*
"It smells delicious!"

*Although before he digs in, he pauses at the selection given. He would probably take the couch over the floor... Wait, the bed?*
"Is there a second bedroom in this house...?"
John
*She smiled and shook her head.* "Only one bedroom." *She flashed a small smirk and didn't explain further, tucking into her soup.* "You're free to decide where you'd like to sleep."
Simon
"Oh...*Oh*..."
*Gabe simply stared in a mild realization at what she had offered. Of course the offer of bed sharing opens the door to other more devious thoughts. Quickly, Gabe attempts to snap out of it with a quick shake of his head.*
"Eheh-... I uh... Appreciate the offer. But I think I'll take the couch, thank you."

*He said with a nervous smile, a trail of sweat on his face before he quickly dives into his meal as a distraction.*
John
*She smirked a little. She did enjoy poking at how shy he was. Flustering him was entertaining.* "You can push two of the footrests I have over to make the couch more comfy for you." *She hummed a little as she ate her soup, putting more in her bowl as she went.*
Simon
*Gabe seemed to relax after her advice, calming down from her teasing. He nodded in appreciation before continuing to eat, enjoying the simple meal well.*
"Thanks... Say Sister, is there anything to do around town? Preaching is well and good, but it's not something I do every hour of the day."
John
"That depends on what you count as entertainment. The best part about Atshim is the market place, we get goods from Silnaria and Mentia here. There's plenty of taverns if drinking is more your thing. Then there's brothels if you have a specific itch that needs scratching." *She just had to throw in a bit more teasing.* "There's not a whole lot to do here, really."
Simon
*Gabe nodded, noting the market. He could probably find some good stuff here, or at least ingredients for a meal. He still felt the need to repay Mira somehow.*

*Though those plans are instantly derailed as she mentions the brothels. He nearly spits what soup he had in his mouth, quickly swallowing and giving a few coughs.*
"S-sister please, my heart can't handle any more of this lustful talk..."
John
*She covered her mouth and hushed a laugh, clearly reveling in his embarassment.* "I can't tell if you're just the most shy preacher i've ever met or your entire homeland is filled with prudes." *She continued to eat her soup, loving the conversation.*
Simon
*Gabriel shook his head, gazing down into his bowl of soup.*
"It's just... I've never... Before..."

*Gabriel attempted to offer some strange explanation before sighing in defeat. He finishes his bowl, though doesn't move to refill it and downs his drink as well.*
"I'd like to unpack some of my stuff before it gets dark here. Maybe explore the market area in the morning. Those ruins you spoke of also sound quite interesting."
John
*She sips on her drink and smirks.* "By all means. Like I say, make yourself at home here." *She finished her soup and stood up, taking the bowls, cups and pot back into the kitchen to wash them.*
Simon
*Gabe nods, standing and sauntering over to his bags. The bag with plate armor tied to it seemed to be full of the more adventurous items, weapons, potions, and other supplies. The other seemed like a civilian bag, clothes, and personal belongings included.*
"Let's see here..."

*After a moment, it had seemed like Gabe had colonized his own little corner of the house. A few items strewn here and there with an attempt to be unintrusive to the house.*
"There."
John
*Once she cleaned up she walked into the livingroom to look at what he'd done to the place. She sat down on the couch and patted the spot next to her.* "Well, I hope you find it comfortable here." *She said with a warm smile.*
Simon
*Gabe somewhat hesitantly sits next to Mira. His hands on his lap as he looks around.*
"So... What else would you like to talk about?"
John
*She sat cross legged on the couch and got comfy when he sat down.* "Anything and everything. What were you going to say, hm? That you never..?" *She questioned him about when he got flustered.*
Simon
"Oh, that? It was.. Nothing. Uh... So where have you traveled too exactly? You mentioned the Siuians."

*Gabe leaned back into the cushions, attempting to settle in a little more. His attempt to switch conversation is not exactly subtle, but he manages well enough.*
John
*It definately wasn't subtle, but oh well.* "I have indeed. I've been all over mentia, mostly healing wounded kin. I've been to Silnaria, Lymia and Salvania, all along the coast. I visited the steppes once, that was something." *She let out a hum, and smiled.* "And you?"
Simon
"I mentioned the outer islands before I believe. I made landfall in Silnaria, and briefly explored Salvainia. This was my next destination after that. I plan to visit Mentia afterwards as well."

*Gabe pauses before sitting up from the couch. He reaches for one of his bags, pulling it close and reaching in. From there, he seems to find a map with several doodles and notes across the places he's mentioned before.*
"This world map has been quite handy, but expensive. "
John
*She leaned over to look at the map he had, giving his hair a quick ruffle.* "I like the little drawings." *She smirked at the doodles, then read over his notes.*
Simon
"Oh, yeah- I got bored sometimes..."
*He smiled, seeming to lean into the hand that pet him.*
"But there's still a lot of land here I haven't even stepped foot on. A whole lot of empty map to discover."
John
"If you need any advice for travelling to any place, i've got plenty of experiance." *She leaned back in the couch and stretched, taking her hand away.* "Mm... Do you have any hobbies?"
Simon
"Hobbies? I suppose I'd have to have one, huh."
*Gabriel set the map aside, wondering about what he could call a hobby.*
"I suppose training and exercise doesn't exactly count as interesting... I do play the guitar."
John
"Oh? I've tried my hand at some instruments before, I'm not the most gifted. I'm not terrible with a flute at least." *Her smile persisted as she glanced around the room, pointing to where her flute was, up on a cabinet.* "They play that a lot down south."
