*Melody would trot along the streets, sun casting its warmth as it sat high up in the sky. Slung across her deer half would be a bag full of clothes she had bought earlier. Only recently she had decided on working to fill the wardrobe of her home and now, with it just hitting midday, she took to exploring the several districts as she looked for place she could get a quick meal from. The non-business days were always the most fun for her, giving her opportunity to explore her new home within the Capitol of Salvainia while she'd allow herself not to fret so much on keeping the lookout for suspicious activity. These were one of the few moments where she could simply let herself relax, and that she did.*
Joan
*The lovely streets of Salvainia. A warm sun shining overhead, with people bustling in the streets. Many of them looked at the deer centaur; an odd sight for sure.*

*Others looked at the dark-armored mercenary. Black lamellar, scuffed from various weapons, along with a circular metal hat and an eyepatch along one eye. A simple sling and a cavalry pick was held by her side, along with a couple of discus on her back.*

*The bandit, too, was looking for some place to eat. It was then that she saw the deer centaur, and was reminded of what Mattheld had told her.*

*Melody would be able to see the dark armored woman approach her from the side.*
Renee
*It would take a short while for Melody to notice the approaching woman, most of her focus on what was ahead and making sure she watched where she stepped. Only when the dark figure appeared out of the corner of her eye, would she find herself turning her head to look over towards her. Of course under different circumstances, she'd have thought it odd for an armored individual to be approaching her. Most she's seen either worked at the guild, watched over the city, or was up to something. Whatever that something was however, she was never too sure, but she didn't see need to judge so quickly.*"Oh, hello there-."*She'd say to the woman, turning slightly while making sure her back half didn't get in the way of the other pedestrians.*"Can I help you?"
Joan
*So she wasn't hostile. Every bit as gentle as Mattheld had described. Good. She didn't want to get onto a confrontation with a centaur; she herself knew how dangerous mounted combatants were.*

"Are you Melody Vander? Deer centaur, mercenary?"

*To her surprise, Melody seemed to be a lot more cheerful than she had thought. Though, appearances could be deceiving. She should still be careful around her.*
Renee
*So she knew who she was? How strange. Melody's head would tilt a bit to the side, finding herself being asked a series of questions.*"Yes ma'am. That would be me. Can't say I'm really a Mercenary though, more of a Bounty Hunter that works for the guild here."*She'd say, correcting the last part before giving her a more quizzical look.*"Apologies for me possibly forgetting, but... Do I know you from somewhere...?"*She'd decide to ask back, holding some formality in her tone with her not knowing who this individual was exactly.*
Joan
"Probably not. Mattheld told me about you. Some armored guy?"

*A bounty hunter? So someone who captured others, rather than just worked to kill. She should probably remember that.*

"I'm Sarah Korva. Mattheld had planned on having us meet, but I decided to go ahead and look for you first. I just want to talk, get to know you. Supposedly, we'll be working together."
Renee
*She'd take a moment to think of it, the name sounding relatively familiar to her.*"Oh! Mattheld!"*Melody would suddenly say after a moment of realization. The one who needed her help with a job and had planned on her meeting up with Sarah before they got to work.*"Nice to meet you Sarah."*She'd say, holding a hand out for her to shake.*"I was actually planning on going to get some lunch if you wanted to join me. Perhaps we can get to know each other then."
Joan
*Reaching up towards the centaur, Sarah's partially gauntleted hand grasps Melody's. It felt awkward, unnatural. While there were people taller than she was, she was of a pretty decent height; but the centaur towered over her, requiring her to reach further up.*

"Lunch? Perfect. I was just thinking about the same thing. Any good places to eat around here?"
Renee
"Well there was this one place I was trying to find. Makes decent sandwiches I've heard."*She'd say, turning to continue trotting down the path she was originally following and gesturing for Sarah to walk with her. She'd shorten her strides a bit, aware of how much distance typically was created between her and the other person if she wasn't paying attention.*"The Capitol is so big I feel as if it's still my first time coming here."*Melody would glance back over to Sarah, a bit of curiosity in her eyes.*"What about you? Is this your first time in the city?"
