*Vynixi had been once again traveling for a long time. The last place had not ended well and left her feeling lost. Sure part of it was because she was lost. She still knew nothing about the rest of the world but what her small village had been like in Findara. She sometimes missed her home since the rest of the world seemed to be harder to handle. She knew that stealing was not a best way to live and yet she was made to seem like it's all she was back in another town. She shook her head as she'd forced herself to go without anything since than. Some of what was said to her was true and she knew what was wrong. But the way it had ended made her leave that day with her money she had gone with the owners bag and one of her own earrings that cost more than the piece of fruit she had taken from it.

She avoided any travelers who tried to take her with them as she had done that once and ended up in a Khisfire brothel. It took her years to get away and try to hid the mark left on her skin, it still hurt at times. She guessed the one who covered it had used bad ink and was probably infected some. Though not being able to see it made her just ignore it as she kept traveling. It took her a few weeks to finally come to a new small village, the market was small but it was close to the forest. Vy liked that as she could sleep in the forest than at least. There was always easier to hide in and not get someone trying to flirty or something with her just because she looked pretty. 

She would try dusting off her clothes some and try to make her hair look maybe decent. Though she was sure it probably looked like a mess, she looked like a mess with worn cloak and clothes. They all had lost their bright color long ago with the sun bleaching them, she probably looked as homeless as she felt. Though today she wasn't going to care about that. Hearing some music from someone playing she would start to dance a bit, maybe she could get a coin or two to get something to eat today.*
-

*If not she was okay with it, she just wanted to dance and feel free for a moment. Something she rarely felt anymore, but needed. It was hard just talking to a fox who couldn't answer back for weeks and move away from travelers just because she felt like she couldn't trust them. So, she would just dance to the music, letting the music carry her movements as she moved with ease. She danced with how the music made her feel, her little bells on her ankels and wrists adding to the rhythm of the song.*

Hopefully a good starting

*Indeed none knew as little of civilization and the lands as little as a half-Dryad, a Leafling as they are called. Nor one who has spent the majority of their young life living in the forest and under the stars. The ease from the burden of most other races has certainly proved an advantage. There has been no real hardship. No brothels, or heavy tolls lay on her. Nor the weight of knowledge of just how violent and harsh the world can get. In this way, she perhaps is the polar opposite of Vynixi and it's just as well too 

Though that isn't to say she is unused to travel, and certainly not by any main road, so its unlikely they would meet on the roads or see any common folk. For her mood of travel is by forest and paths untamed, either as herself, riding her pet bear or turning into an animal herself to cross vast distances in a short amount of time. In this mode of travel, it is no wonder then that she arrives in a small village by the forest. And by small village, it certainly was that. One market, one blacksmith, one bakery, one tavern and so on. The locals fair village folk; trapped in the duality of time. Where the daily routines are such that time seems to stand still however ever marching forward with the passing and old of new. It's such a day where the sun is burning brightly and the sky is a clear blue. 

So of course the market is well packed, as much as it could be for the locals and all sorts of items are on sale. The sound of chatter of dozens of conversations, laughter and indeed music are all buzzing around the market. There was indeed music playing from the market. It came from a stringed instrument that is being played by a young girl who is also singing, her voice melodic and bright, her songs singing about joy and all things bright, clearly a song about nature. Around her is a minagerie of life. Flowers of every colour to the extent even bees and small birds are around them. At each cadence of her song, the plant life seems to bloom*

*A new. As the song rises and the strings pulled to the chours, the greens become greener, the colours pop in view and the birds swirl about and chirp. The woman herself clearly isn't of a common race. At first her hair seems green but on closer looking there is actually vines and leaves in her hair. She adornes a crown of holly bush and berries wrapped in oak wood. Her skin looks like its made of light wood- such as poplar. Though green vines show under her skin as blue veins would show in a human. Clearly some magic is at work here, and clearly she is having the time of her life 

As this new character enters to start dancing to her music and song, she smiles brightly over at the other, clearing a space for her to dance freely and uninteruppted*
Alan
*Though Vy was not dancing in but a small space around her she was enjoying the sound and rhythm of the song. She couldn't see but knew the market was full, it was easier to make a small around herself as she would dance, marking the dirt around with her bare feet to make a small circle she knew she could dance in without running into someone else. This was something she'd learned to do in order to never go too far over, infusing just a little magic into the circle allowed her to make it so that she would feel a cool surge in her feet when she got on the line. It wouldn't seem like anything to someone watching but this allowed her to dance in the area she formed without going over a line or off a stage if she was on one.

Vy at the moment didn't care how she might look as she dance to the song. Her own little fox familiar would be beside the circle as it did a little stomp dance of its own. For however long the song lasted Vy would dance how she felt the music would move if it could. One of the things she's always been good at was dancing not to the normal beat others would but in a deeper way. This came from her lack of sight as she would move more to how it felt or sounded. 

Once the song was over Vy would step back, letting the people around them decide what they wanted to do. She never asked for a coin, if they gave one she would take it. Though she also knew many who stole from the coins she got, it was just part of others realizing she was blind they thought of her as an easy target for stealing. Using her foot to make sure she was clear enough around herself before she'd kneel down to pet her fox. Her brown hair even though a mess flowed in gentle waves, a small blessing from her mother for having clear skin and soft hair, though that was mostly because of her race. Some of those things were a blessing and curse when it came to her blindness. Though she just chose to avoid most who tried to win her over since she knew it was because she was a succubus*

*Vynixi listened to the crowd that moved, some gave a coin or two but it wasn't anything she guessed that would buy more than a piece of bread. Maybe a stream was close by for catching fish but she doubted she would find one. After letting the crowds move she'd look towards the area of the one who played, they were talented and was lovely music.* "You're very talented, I can tell you have a connection to nature... Well least a love for it. Your very good with your instrument, have you taken long to learn?"
Adam
*While playing she keeps a half eye on the dancing girl, for of course it is now only the two of them in the market that is doing any such thing. Her dancing complimenting the music and song and vice versa. The rest of the crowd continuing their market wares and buying. Though by now, especially since there is two of them, they have gathered quite a crowd now. For indeed it a rare sight one sees a forest person singing and playing music and a blind woman dancing along with her. Surely from the crowd they have gathered that they will be the talk of the village tonight in the tavern

While her eyes are half on the woman, it was just half. For indeed she needed to focus on the very music she was playing. Though when she does look over at this woman it is with obvious interest, noticing how the dancing is more in time with the music than the normal person. Its seems to be a deep connection with the music that others with sight would not have 

Once the song does end, when she stops singing and playing music, the woman seems to stop dancing. The crowd give scattered applause and both of them some coin, which Thyme does accept to be polite, but looks rather puzzled. In place of this she forms flowers in her hands and begins to hand them out to the crowd, going up to each one, asking for their favorite flower before forming it and summoning it and handing them out 

As the woman approaches, Thyme turns to face her and a wide smile forms on her face. She doesn't seem reproached or taken back by her species or the known fact she is blind, but is eager to respond. "Thank you! I've been practicing most of my life to be honest, though its not as good as it could be, my early life was focused on my druid craft" She explains. Druids- A well known term with varied connotations. To some- those who defend the wilds tooth and claw and make safe the wildlands, making them fruitful and green. To others, it means strange beings living in the dangerous woods, using strange magic*

*She continues however. "But I know most instruments now I think, but I always like practising. Where did you learn to dance like that? It was really good! I don't know how anyone could jump into music like that and dance so well"*
Alan
*Vy felt better after getting to dance. She felt more like herself now. She would smile at the few applause but stay put by her fox, not wanting to get bumped into while the crowd now moved away. She was glad that she got to dance even if it wasn't to earn anything. But getting some coins can help her with getting something to eat. She knew she didn't have enough for any new clothes so she just was letting what she had last as long as possible.

Though Vy couldn't see what Thyme looked like she was still impressed by how well they could sing and play. Only once they said it did she realize more on what she was. A Druid? That was a surprise to have one in a village even if a small one as they always liked more the forest.* "It seems to have done you very well, I haven't heard anyone play the way you have and I have heard a good amount of people playing in my life. I probably have tried learning how to play like that if I could have."

*Them knowing most instruments was even more impressive as not many did that, only maybe 3 and they stopped. She would smile as it was very surprising* "Wow, that's a lot to learn, that's impressive that you have learned that much. That would be an accomplishment in my eyes... I uh didn't learn from anywhere. I just have always danced at how the music makes me feel or how I might image it flowing. I guess it's probably a bit silly to explain it that way. I never had a teacher, no money for that." 

*She would shrug as she was just always something that came nature to her, probably because it was said her mother was a dancer. Something she didn't always like having in common with her mother but at times it also was when she felt more free or alive.* "My names Vynixi... This might sound strange but do you go for drinks?"
Adam
*It takes the leafling to get away from the crowd, though to be said it is her own fault for staying around and handing out flowers. Not only that, but to create the flowers out of thin air. Such an overt display of magic would be rather uncommon, and as such makes the crowd stay a moment longer. This of course seems to be Thyme's plan. AA playful smile upon her face as she skips from one person to another, humming happily until the crowd is sated and the people return to their lives 

"You flatter me too well miss" She says softly. Even though she isn't singing, her voice still carries a musical note, her tone rising and falling like a breeze of wind in a glen. "I am hardly a great player from some college or with years or practice, but I try my best, I thank you for your compliment" She says brightly. 

As she comments on her own dancing, the leafling raises an eyebrow and a look of surprise touches her wooden textured face but nevertheless soft and expressive as one would expent from the magical Thylen elves. "You didn't learn how to do that?" She asks with an open note of surprise in her voice. "But I've never seen movement such as that, even from all the fae creatures of the forest could move with such grace. You must be truly blessed with the art, it was amazing!"

As the other both introduces herself and asks her for drinks, Thyme smiles brightly and inclines her hed. Luckily she also speaks. "It is a pleasure to meet you Vynixi, my name is Thyme. You know, like the herb! And also like the thing that makes people older..." She says with a playful giggle to her voice. "And yes! I would like a good drink, it means I gcan get rid of these metal shards people give me" She says, obviously referring to the coins. "I don't like metal, but they keep handing them out. I don't really understand..."*
Alan
*Vynixi met it when she said Thyme was good at it. She didn't know anyone who could play like that or to play so many.* "I never been around someone who can play such a way though. You can play in a way it makes the air come alive with the music. I'm sure if I could see the music would be dancing in the area. Your voice also has beautiful note to it when singing and speaking. Hmm well you said you been playing a long time so wouldn't that count you as being one of those great players? Well I still believe you are one of those greats either way."

*Vy was trying to not show she was a bit embarrassed by the compliments but there was no way to hide the slight flush of her cheeks. It been a long time since getting a compliment like that.* "My mother was rumored to be a dancer, someone many wished to see. I... Don't know if I said it's always a blessing because of my mother... I just started dancing as a child to try and make the ones who cared for me happy. I just kind of danced than how the music made me feel." *Vy would shrug as she didn't see it being anything impressive, though she still wanted to be invited to dance for someone of higher status, though she knew it was just a far off dream.*

"Thyme, that's a very unique name ro have. It's a pleasure to meet you. As for the metal it's coins, something used to buy food and clothing with in a village or town. It means they liked your performance so they want to give you something for it." *This is always how Vy thought about it over someone begging for coins, she did what she did to entertain and if she got some to eat she would use it.* "This might sound dumb of me but do Leaflings and druids eat and drink normal things?"
Adam
*"Oh stop, you're going to make me blush!" She says, a note of playful joy laced in her tone, even her words seem to have magic sprinkled into it. Though one cannot see it physically, her voice is so bright that it gives one the feeling of being in a calm field on a summer's day, the heat of the sun and joy of spring seems to flow with her when she talks. Indeed she is blushing, a curious colour it is. For red does rise in her cheeks, but against her green tone and wooden like texture of skin it's a very curious sight to one who can see it 

"And it's probably because I'm a bard! Well... Not really, well kinda, well..." She says with a huff, realising she's tangled herself up. "So I'm a druid but when I started to come to you know, villages and stuff, I saw some people sing and play and dance but use magic too! So I started to learn that, and since I have innate magic it made it easier. But it isn't my main magic, but something I do for fun!" She says rather proudly. "I'm surprised you haven't learned dancing though, you do it so well. It must be in your blood which makes sense if your mother was a dancer too, I'm sure she would be really proud of you!" 

At the mention of her name being unique, she huffs with a smile. "Thank you! At least I'm nammed after one of the better herbs. Imagine if I was called like... Corriander or something, I don't think I'd like that... But I don't like metal" She says as she offers the coins to her new friend. "Do you want them? You got some too so why not more!" She says brightly. At the question she seems utterly amused and pleased by it, her lips curling upwards into a smile and a small giggle escaping her lips. "Its not a dumb question at all! Druids can be of any race so they eat normally. And yeah Leaflings eat anything too! Cause I'm like... A mix between an elf and a dryad so I guess I'm the best of both worlds! Though we usually make our own food with magic, or go hunt and fish for it and stuff!"*

*She then returns the question in earnest by tilting her head to the side. "Do you eat stuff? I mean like, I don't want to be rude but I've not seen your species before, wow that sounds rude. I don't mean it like that but yeah, do you eat normal people food?"*
Alan
*Vynixi couldn't help but be happy to get to talk to someone and it being a nice time. All the ones she'd had over the last months had been nothing but people calling her names or being rude because she looked shabby. Her tail would swish behind her on the ground, she's been born with a more than long tail so if she didn't hide it with wrapping it around her waist it would drag behind her.* "Well is that a bad thing is someone is being honest about you being good?"

"Don't worry I'm not a bard in the sense either. I just been good at dancing just as you took on being good at singing and playing. It must have been nice to catch on easy with your magic, you should be very proud with what you are able to do." *Vy would frown a bit at being told her mother would be proud. She knew for a fact her mother didn't feel that way, she was given up because she got in the way of the life her mother wanted.* "I just been told she was, I don't know anything about my mother. She abandoned me as a baby because I was in her way of her life. I wouldn't say exactly she would be proud of me. Doubt even the ones who raised me would be if they saw me now, but it's okay I just... Try my best here." *Vy knew she'd made mistakes so she wouldn't have made anyone proud now, she'd done some less than slightly things in the last few years.*

"Well being named after a herb is not a bad thing, but I agree least it was a good one. Some of them are long and difficult to say when you have to go through the language barrier... I can understand not liking the coins as well but isn't metal part of the ground? I would think it would be hard to avoid metal completely. Well how about we use the coins we both got to get us a drink and maybe combined will have enough for some food."

*Vynixi couldn't help but laugh a bit as it was funny ti her how they both were asking if they ate differently.* "I eat normal food, though some believe also that my kind feeds of of others... Certain energy.*

"But we do like it when others are happy around us, so maybe it's a bit true. That's amazing you can make your own food, that would be a very convenient thing when you got hungry and aren't able to catch something." *Vy's little fox would get curious and a bit bored with them talking and would go over to Thyme to sniff her, since she was more connected to the forest it wasn't a surprise the little fox familiar would want to see why.*
Adam
*It is only when the tail of Vynixi starts to move does Thyme actually notice it. Those emerald green eyes widening and her head tilting curiously to the side as she spies it. Though she decides not to say anything as that may be rude. Still, it's hard to ignore it and she finds herself looking at it from time to time, though she does try her hardest to maintain eye contact. Despite her friend being blind, it would be rude and insensitive of her to not treat her like anyone else. "Well, your honesty does you credit, you have my thanks" She says brightly

"Oh I **Love** Magic" She says happily. I mean I had to practice and stuff, and some druids can't do it naturally and need to learn. But it's because I'm half dryad and elf, so I was born with the ability to do magic which is really good. I know people who can't do it naturally learn spells, but it takes years and stuff... That wouldn't be good so I'm really thankful I can just use it you know?" She says brightly, clearly the topic of magic is a well loved subject for her, but why wouldn't it be? Especially from a fae creature such as her, so closely tied to the realm of magic 

Though the sharing about Vynixi's mother changes the note somewhat, and indeed the news seems to have a visual and auditory effect on Thyme. The sadness from the news changes her hair to a more darkish colour, her skin and eyes changing from a shade of bright green to soft blue. The tone in her voice changing from musical and bright to hollowed and soft, one may even get the image of a winter's chill in the air as she speaks. "Oh... I'm so sorry that happened to you... But you are doing great! Going to different places and dancing so well! You're doing a great job and I'm sure there's only good things waiting for you ahead" She says, obviously trying to brighten the mood 

Though it seems as if Vynixi does that on her own when talking about metal. Like spring from winter; Thyme's attitude changes. Noted by a huff and roll of her eyes*

*"Uhh I get this alllll the time!" She says before putting on a voice, trying to imitate a gruff man. "Ahh I'm an angry blacksmith, metal is found in the ground, it's natural so why don't you use it, grr!" She says before huffing again. "And its true! Metal is in the ground, but its meant to **Stay** In the ground. It can't be replaced when dug up, it gives the ecosystem a part to keep going. Wood can grow back so it's okay to use, but not metal! That's bad!" She says. Though her voice is still playful, while she is passionate on the topic, she isn't offended by it. In fact, she seems rather eager to explain her stance on such things

"And to make food is great, though we can't make anything fancy. Well, master druids can but I'm not there yet. The food and water I make is bland. It's really filling! But it doesn't taste of anything so its a last resort type thing. But you're right, we should use our combined metal to get drinks and food! Or I'll make food and just drinks! It depends how much we have, I'm not sure how these things work..." She says with a hum

Though the comment about energy makes her curious, with Thyme tilting her head. "Your kind feeding off different energy? What does that mean? Dryads and stuff can feed of moon and star light or nature itself, but I can't do that since I'm only half. I don't know enough about your kind to be honest, but I'd love to know more!" 

As the fox starts to sniff her, Thyme looks down curiously, before smiling. She would smell like summer, the nature she is made of and wearing all bright and in full bloom. Her innate ability as a druid allows her the spell "Speak with Animals" On which she casts. "Are you okay, my fox friend?" She asks it curiously*
Alan
*Vy's tail would continue to swish a bit, it was a bit unique in how slender it was and the tip of its shape was the most unique. While most had a spade or pointed end, Vy had an end that looked like a rose bud having slight layers look to it and almlst looking like it could open up like a rose. She usually always hide it because of past bullying, but when she was tired she didn't think about hiding it the same way. But that was okay since she wouldn't have it stepped on for now.*

"Ah magic is quite the thing isn't it? I can agree magic can be very helpful even if knowing just a few spells. Mine are all ones that don't help me well but it's still fun to learn. It seems like you have many gifts, you probably love learning how to use those skills." *She would nod knowing that it was a good thing she just could use magic. Vy herself had tried to learn but didn't know more than a few light spells and the one she used to know her stage size.

She wasn't upset with having her mother brought up, for someone she didn't know there wasn't much for her to compare to. Though some had bullied her on the matter. A reason she had left in the end over staying.* "Oh, don't worry. It's not that bad, I grew up in a nice orphanage and as you said I'm traveling and dancing so it's not like I have nothing." *She though didn't believe nothing but good was ahead, she knew enough not to think that way.*

"Sounds like you have many say that, though I'm not saying it as to take the metals out of the ground. Just that you can't really hate something that's part of all thats around us. I can't say I don't use metal though" *She would hold up her hand to let the little bells jingle* "I have metal for a good reason, help keep me kind of safe."

"Well bland food is still food in the end and well as for the amount we have we could have enough but depends on the prices they use. Some places will rob you with a price for something so simple."

*Vy shook her head as she didn't understand how some places got away with that. Maybe it wasn't her problem to deal with anyways.*

"Ah... Uh well I don't know if we really do or not but many like to believe we feed of uhhh energy of others together..." *Vy was a bit embarrassed trying to talk about that type of topic as she'd tried to avoid it and only really then done such things in the brothel. None ever with someone she wanted to with.* "I like the more saying we feed off happy energy. Makes it sound less uhh strange. I think I remember hearing about dryads doing that, I'm sorry you're unable to do that."

*Vy's little fox would wag its tail happily as it looked up at Thyme, it did like her smell of summer, though what fox wouldn't like that smell? The little fox would yip a bit with its reply, saying it was fine, it was happy and liked her smell. Being a familiar it didn't look like a normal fox with its fur having a lotus patten in it.*
Adam
*Of course Thyme would be even more interested in the tail since the end looks like a flower, and naturally Thyme loves flowers, so her eyes are drawn to it more than ever. It is only now that she speaks of it. "I might not know what your species is, and I had no idea you had tails! Especially ones that look like flowers, that's pretty cool. Do the males have tails too? Man, I wish I had a tail... Does it help you with climbing and stuff?" She asks like a curious bird chripping away

"Do you know those spells innately or did you have to learn them? And what kind of magic do you use? I know there's like, different magic schools and stuff but I haven't paid too much attention to that to be honest. I suppose you'd need to if you have to book learn the spells and pick a school and stuff, but as long as your magic helps you then I assume it's okay! As long as its not like necromancy or something..." She says with a little shiver

"Oh!" She says brightly as the mention of the orphanage being nice, her winter's chill seems to pass quite quickly at this and the summer returns. It seems her emotions react rather quickly and have a visable and rather strong impact upon her very body and voice. Though now that summer has returned all seems well

"I think you are right about the prices though... I have played in taverns before and I usually play for drink and food and not money so I don't really know prices, but if it's too high I will use my cool druid magic to make us food and stuff, but we should go see!" She says before looking around the market with a little hum, "I think it's this way... I think there is only one tavern here anyway..." 

When Vynixi talks more about the energy, it's clear that Thyme still has no idea what she means. She obviously doesn't know about succubi, or that type of energy, or both*

* +"Well that's pretty cool you take energy from places and people around, that must be pretty cool to do. And yeah I wish I could do it too... I mean hanging out in places of power where dryads do it make me feel better, but I don't think I can accually draw the energy directly. That must be a useful power"

As the fox replies to her, Thyme giggles and smiles. "Your fox is so cute. I'm guessing its a familiar? I only have a pet. Where did you get it and what does it do?" She asks curiously before huffing and crossing her arms. "And I don't **Hate** Metal use, I just don't like it! So don't worry, I won't go on a killer rampage when I see someone using metal, don't worry!"*
Alan
*Vynixi hadn't realized her tail was out till Thyme had commented on it. She liked the tail? Most thought the end of her tail was strange and will it longer than normal it made it sometimes more a pain since it would get stepped on or she would trip on it. It was more tripping as a child but sometimes the tail had its own mind it seemed and wanted to cause trouble.* "I'm a succubi, and yeah I have a tail. You think it looks like a flower?" *Vy would move her tail to always seem like she was looking at it, she'd not heard anyone call it a flower before, most just said it looked strange or deformed.* "Oh... Uh yes males do as well. We all kind of have them. We are kind of like teiflings, sort of a kind of... Cousin race I guess. Tails aren't always great, mines usually more in the way, it's... More a belt I use since I used to always trip over it since it's long and drags on the ground some. It can be helpful with balancing and I have used it to grab things. Succubi tails are a bit more flexible so we can use them a bit more freely." *Vy didn't mind answering someone curious, she herself had been the same as a child. It was only natural to feel that way with new things.*

"Uh... I guess I kind of did, I couldn't learn them through books. They aren't anything much uh mostly just little light spells like making little orbs of light, uh there's seeing with my familiar, and I do a sort of cold spell to help me find edges on a stage I might be on. The cold on my feet makes me know I'm at the edge of one." *A curious bird Thyme was, but it was alright to listen.* "Well since there is no actual schools I don't get why they are called that. It should have another name I would think, finding a teacher was never in my book but I also don't feel connected with magic. I always liked dancing because it makes me feel free. Don't worry I don't want to do anything like that." *Vy couldn't help but smile at such a small thing made a difference for likes or dislikes.*
-

"That's a good way to do it, playing for food or drink over coins. I never performed in a tavern as dancers are less wanted than someone who can play or sing. Not that some places are the opposite though. Well we can hope we have enough than so we can least eat something with a good flavor, though if not I'm sure your food or drink will be perfect for us." *Vy would look around like maybe she was looking for a place but that was hardly something she could do.* "I just got here so I actually don't know where anything is just got lucky finding the market here, well guess not lucky since it just happens to be a small village."

*Vy would sign a bit as it was hard not to flat out say what it was at this point.* "Good energy yes, most of my race likes doing extravagant things to get that energy: parties, dances, and working at places like a brothel. They like the buzzing it gives I guess." *She would shrug as though she liked the feeling as well she never used her charm to win anyone over, she had too much of a bad experience with that as a child and the river. Which reminded her why she didn't go fishing, maybe she was more tired than she thought to forget such a fear.*

"Oh Lily is by you, I was wonder where she was at. Yes, she's a familiar... Uh I got her when she was dying, I don't know got lucky and formed a pack with her. She's usually helping me around a bit so I don't get lost, traveling blind... Doesn't work great. She's also helps me see at times." *Vy would smile as she held up her hands in a little surrender* "Don't worry I can understand what you mean. And that's good to know you won't do something like that. Shall we head to the tavern? I'm sure it's getting late."

*"Yeah! It looks like a rose bud, which is actually really cute. Especially since roses are pretty rare unless it gets a lot warmer, so it looks really good!" She says as she listening with avid interest as Vynixi described what she could do with her tail. "Help you balance and grab things? Wow that is pretty cool. I mean I only get a tail when I turn into an animal, but that's like... An animal and not me having a tail you know? Maybe there's a way to grow one, that would be good" She says with a firm nod 

"Well... I'm not sure why they are called schools. Maybe in the big cities there is places that teach different types of magic? I'm not sure. I could try and teach you some stuff if you wanted but I don't know if I would be any good at it, I'm not much of a teacher... But at least you have some spells right? So you know at least magic is possible for you if you ever wanted to learn more, you could become like a badass succubi wizard!" She declares with a light laugh 

If Thyme had any knowledge of the seccubi race, she doesn't show it. Though it is very doubtful that she would have. Druids can spend years and even decades not running into another druid, let alone a completely different race. So when she drops the hint about the different energy, the summer filled and happy Leafling completely misses it. Luckily, she doesn't focus on that and seems happy just to have a new friend

"Well, I play for song and music, you dance... What if we did it together tonight at the tavern! Like a duo? A band? We could make lots of metal coins for loads of drinks, then we could afford drinks that actually taste like something!" She says, speaking as if she has just had the best idea ever thought of. Her voice full of passion and pride, rising smoothly into a joyful sound as she places hands on her hips and grin

"Though you are right... We should try and find the place, I know where it is! Come with me!" She says brightly, taking her new friend by the hand and beginning to*

*Walk with her down the market place, even so as they move around others, she doesn't seem to stop talking. Does she ever stop talking? "So you have a familiar? That's pretty cool, so you can see from the fox's eyes? I can do that as an animal but not through a familiar. What is that like?" She asks before she suddenly stops herself, letting go of Vynixi's hand. "Oh, I'm so sorry that was rude to just drag you off like that, especially with you can't see. I just thought I would help. Sorry... But I can see the tavern, do you want to hold onto me and I'll lead us? Or are you going to use your magical fox friend?"*
Alan
"A rose bud... I guess that's possible it might look line that. Thank you for saying its cute though, it's nice knowing someone likes me tail... I mean maybe you can? I don't know if a Druid and leafing can grow one since they are part of nature or not. It would be interesting if you actually can." *Vynixi did wonder if Thyme could do something like that. If she could that would be amazing to see.*

"You would teach me? Oh uh... Well I wouldn't mind learning something if you did want to try teaching me. But I can't say I will learn a lot, it's a bit hard to know. Though I don't know I want to be a wizard, I would rather be a dancer."

*Vy would raise a brow as she would think about doing such a thing together in the tavern.* "Well I wouldn't mind doing that if they allow us to perform there. It could be fun to do and than yes get a few more metal coins so we could get some better drinks."

*Vy didn't mind getting dragged along by her new friend, they were fun to talk to. Though she was still a bit hesitant to trust she also wanted to trust someone. Maybe they could become travelers together or something? Least that is just what she was feeling in the moment.* "Yes, I do have a familiar... Uh and yes, I do see with her eyes at times. It's okay, you were just wanting to help, you are just kind that way. I can hold onto you, I can't use Lily that much or I get headaches. Plus it's easier to be close to someone when moving through crowds than to try moving with a fox being lower in one." *Vynixi would hold out her hand again as it didn't maker her uncomfortable at all being led.*
Adam
*"Hmm, well I can turn into animals. I don't think I can like... Half turn. I'm not sure that's how it works. So I guess if you wanted to see my tail just let me know of an animal and I'll turn into it for you" She says with a bright smile. Of course the species that can turn into their animal half are the most common race. Though she seems to be talking about turning into an actual animal, rather than an animal person

"I can try and teach you for sure. Especially if you already have a feeling for magic we can start with a basic spell? Like a small healing spell or something! Or could start even smaller like making a camp fire or something..." 

"I'm sure they will let us place in the evening, I think we need to get a few drinks first to settle in and let them know we are paying for something and like the crowd and stuff. But since we played in the market I'm sure word of us will have reached there by now. It depends how nice the owner is, sometimes they even let me play for rooms too, I don't often take it as I tend to sleep outside, but you never know! This village seems nice so I'm sure it will be fine" 

She smiles at the confirmation, taking Vynixi by the hand again and making their way to the tavern. She walks slowly, taking care to avoid others and make the journey as easy as possible as they head into the tavern. "Well that's a shame you get headaches from using your familiar. Do you know why that is? Maybe there is ways to make that easier or improve the bond or something. Or a healing spell to help? Hmm.." She says as the approach

"Ah ha!" She says as they arrive to the two story tavern. The building made out of stone but the upper floor hosting some wood. "The Drunken duckling?" She asks as she tilts her head. "What kind of tavern name is that?!" She says with a huff, before giggling lightly. "I guess it's better than nothing though, come on, let's see if we can find a seat, just follow me, I won't let anything happen to you" She says with a*

*Note of firmness in her voice. Her usual playful attitude struck through with a note of determination, it seems she is pretty set on keeping her new friend safe. 

As they enter, they come awash with heat from a large fire burning in a hearth at the back wall. The place is fileld with sound, from drinking and eating, to laugher and conversation. This isn't a big city or even a town tavern, so it isn't a complete mess or jumble. Though it does seem, since its the early evening, that most of the vilalge is here after their work day and resting. 

Not wishing to stand in the doorway for too long, Thyme is quick to move them both over to a two person table, next to one of the walls but at the middle of the tavern so they have good eyes on eveything but are out of the way so no one would fall into them. It's also a level they can both speak to each other without shouting. "Well this place is... Nice!" She declares brightly*
Alan
"It's okay, I simply was saying maybe you are able to do something like that. I don't know much about druids to know what you can do. But that's amazing you can shift into animals, that has to be a very interesting ability to do." *Vy was amazed at all she was learning about her new friend, well she hoped new friend. She didn't know if they would want to be a friend of hers or not.*

"Well anything is fine with trying to learn, I have yet to know many and we could both try learning things. I'm sure there are things we both could learn from each other. A camp fire would be a nice one to learn on cold nights, I usually can't travel fast so I end up being outside for a long time when traveling."

"It's still good to ask, some get very upset if someone simply starts performing there. But good idea of getting some drinks first, that might help for sure on them letting us perform there." *She would follow Thyme through the crowd, it was good knowing she was going more slow now to keep Vy from getting lost or confused with moving to the tavern.* "The spell only lasts so long, I think it's a reason why it gives me the headaches. I couldn't though say for sure on why I get them if I do it too long. It might also be because my mind isn't used to seeing colors and shapes, especially ones moving around."

*Vy couldn't help but giggle at the name of the tavern, it was quite funny to hear and it might even have such a sign showing a drunk duckling. Some places where quite interesting that way with the naming of places.* "Someone just wanting a unique name for their place I'm sure. I'm sure there are worse names someone's done before, so it's good it's not like 'the bloody corkscrew'. True enough there was a place called that, was very strange name, I didn't go inside that place. Don't worry, I will stick by your side, and thank you for making sure I didn't get run over by the crowd."
-

*Vynixi would smile at the warm that came in as it was a bit chilly with the spring night coming and her in worn clothes. In Khisfire their springs were just as hot so the cold was a night change but also one she wasn't fully dressed for. She would follow Thyme in and sit down with her, looking her way as she would talk.* "Your right this place does seem nice, I'm sure there is plenty of nice locals in here from a hard day's work. Less travelers I'm sure but that's fine for us if we do perform." *Vy would pick up her fox and set it in her lap to lay down, wanting to keep it from getting stolen like in the past or have its tail stepped on.* "Do you see a drink list? I can tell you what the coins values are that we have if you can tell me how they look. Than we could know what we have for buying drinks."
Adam
*"It's pretty strange to get used to, to be honest. Well, I've been doing it so long that it feels pretty natural to me now, and the ability to talk to animals helps a lot. Still, I don't like staying as an animal for too long, I think I'd feel strange if I did it for days at a time or something, I mainly do it when I'm on my patrols or to cover lots of distance quickly, cause four legs are faster than two!" She says with a laugh 

She seems to be rather interested at the prospect of teaching magic as she hums and nods. "I can try! I think we will start with the bonfire spell, that's a good idea and I'm pretty sure you'll get the hang on it easily. It means you can improve your magic and I can improve my teaching skills!" She says brightly, though that seems to give her an idea, so she pauses and hums for a moment. "I've been practicing my magic more and more recently. I'm better with elemental magic but I'm okay with the others. I've picked up a good few spells. With conjuration; I can create a small two story tower that lasts for a day. So if those metal shards are a problem to pay for rooms, I could do that for us tonight? It means we don't need to sleep outside or pay for a room? Also! I can hide our money in the fey realm so no one can steal it! Not that I think anyone would... But its good for hiding things so it doesn't get lost!" 

As her new friend mentions the name "The bloody corscrew", Thyme makes a small noise of disgust. "Ew, I wouldn't name **My** Tavern that. Not that I have a tavern... I'm not sure what I'd name one... Oh!" She says brightly. "Drinking Thyme! That's what I would name my tavern, cause like... Time! Get it?!" She says brightly as if she has just spoken the wisest words of the land. Her arms folded and looking very proud of herself 

"Drinks list..." She says, muttering as she looks up at the bar. Luckily her eyesight is as sharp as an eagle and she can read even from their distance. "Well, it looks like the most common drink is*

*Ale, I bet they make it here. It's only two copper for a mug of that. Then they have beer but that's five copper for one. Rum is ten silver and wine is... Ten gold a bottle?! Wow... That's expensive. I think. Gold is the shiny one so I guess that's worth more right?" She says as she looks down and takes down her own coinage. "So right now I have... One gold, four silver and twelve copper. I think..."*
Alan
"I think I could see how it could be strange, it's probably with how it feels with being able to see when I was unable to for years. But thats amazing you can talke to animals I'm sure that does really help, and the going long distance with four feet over two would I'm sure go faster." *Vy smiled a bit as she was glad for the different conversations they were having. It was surprisingly comforting not having to be forced into one she didn't want to talk about.*

"I would love to learn that spell, if I can figure it out that is and yeah you can practice teaching than. Well I don't think I'm probably good with any type of magic, though I only really know light magic." *Vynixi looked the way Thyme was, that really was an amazing spell though with the conjunction one.* "That's really amazing Thyme, to make a place for a full day I'm sure is really hard to do. And what's the Fey relam? I never heard of that before but it sounds interesting."

"Yes, that was a bad name for sure for the tavern, maybe it was like a fight tavern or something like that? It's just my guess I suppose." *Vy would giggle at the play on words that Thyme would use for her tavern name.* "That's actually a pretty good play on name for it, I like that name. Though I agree wouldn't be something I would want to do either, having a tavern."

"Hmm Ale isn't a bad drink, it's cheap and pretty common. Rum and the wine is a lot... Why would it be that much. Uhh do they have any mead? That usually isn't as expensive... Yes, the gold one is usually pretty shinny, uhh like a yellow color I been told and yes worth more. It would be good if we can use the coppers but we will see." *Vy would shrug as she didn't know what the price for that would be. If nothing else they could just have the ale since it was still good. Do they have a food menu? That uh, would be good to know as well... I am kind of hungry... It's been a while since I last had something." *Vy was a bit embarrassed that she was hungry right now.*
Adam
*"Well, it's not just animals. I can talk to plants too! Though they usually don't have much to say. And I can walk in and out of trees, that's pretty fun. Being a druid is awesome, you should become one! I think it would take a while to learn how to do it, but you'd be a gaurdian of the wilds and stuff and that's worthwhile!" She says rather proudly, but despite her playfulness there is a hint of seriousness, a willingness to teach someone else her craft and become a protector of the wild things of the world, to preserve the wilderness. Obviously, given her nature and species, it's a route she feels very strongly about 

"When you say light magic, is it like... Lights? Or healing magic? Cause I know some of either so we could probably make progress either way but it will be good to know what to focus on." As she is complimented on her spell; she feels heat rise to her cheeks, turning a deep red to contrast to the forest green. At the same time, it is like summer has lept into focus. In both sight and smell the greens of her become deeper but brighter in reaction to her emotion, the scent of summer and fresh flowers seems to grow. In fact the vines in her hair actually do grow several daisy flowers in response to the emotion, if only Vynixi could see it. "Thank you... But I didn't create the spell. It's very specific though, if I do it tonight you'll get a better idea but I can only form certain rooms, I can't really choose differences. Like if I create a bedroom, it will have certain things in it, that I won't be able to change." She tries to explain. But for someone innate with magic, its clear describing magic is strange to her 

"Ohh you're right maybe it was named after a special fight or something. When I was preforming once a fight broke out, some bandits came into the tavern and tried to rob people. It was really scary. But I don't think they would name the tavern after it. But who knows? I don't think opening taverns isn't for us, we will stick to*

*Preforming" She says with a little smile 

"Oh, maybe I've misread the prices then, I don't really understand it much. But it seems the mead is only two copper? That makes sense I think. And food... Well there is bread and cheese for a two copper. Bread, meat and cheese is three copper. Stew is five copper and for roasted chicken meal is one silver. I think..." She says, peering up at the sign and squinting. While she can physically see it, she must be having some problem actually working out. "Maybe we should ask someone? You might be best to ask since you know more about money, I could wave someone over for us if you like?"*
Alan
"I feel like I should have known that you can talk to plants as well. But that's really amazing, being able to do all that is so cool. And to walk in and out of trees, that would be pretty cool thing to do." *Vy would stop to think about becoming one, it would be interesting* "It's really a nice offer but I don't think I could be a good guardian. With being blind I couldn't do much, it's just one of those uh things that make everything more difficult. But I already like trying to protect the animals, I had tried with my little fox here, though I was too late..." *Vy would smile sadly down at her fox as she gave it a soft pet.*

"Like as more like light, I can do a little healing but its not enough to do me any good with the injuries I do have. But yeah I have a more can make light type." *Vynixi thought about how the scent kept changing around her as she wondered how Thyme could do that.* "You're scent smells more... Summery now, it's nice. That's amazing you are about to do that as well... Just because you didn't make the spell doesn't mean it isn't amazing that you can do such a complicated spell. I mean making a two story home for a full day is amazing. It's okay if yoy can't make it completely how someone might want it. It's still nice to be able to make a place to stay warm and dry in."

"Well that's just my guess but it's a bit strange thing to do to name it after such a thing. Yeah, let's stick with our performing and not going into something like that. I rather stick with my talents and earn a living that way. Maybe even get a place of my own someday." *Vy would look towards Thyme and smile softly* "Though I'm sure you like staying in the forest more, which is a good thing as well."

"Well we could ask if needed, and if not we could get a drink and than see what we have left of the coins. I would just go with the smaller priced things... Maybe the bread and cheese for food but I also wouldn't have a problem with just thr bread either...
-

*Vynixi would frown as she thought about what she now needed to do.* "Before you... Get to close to me you should know I'm not... Fully a nice person, I done some wrong things with my past. I just... Don't want you to find out that all later and than hate me. But I have stolen before and done things that I'm ashamed off for a living at a time."
Adam
*She smiles brighly as she is complimented more, which does little to abate the summer scent she is giving as her emotions come in line with her joy, giving off such as a reaction. "Well, I think you would make a great guardian! Even if you can't see I'm sure you'd be awesome, I believe in you" She says happily. "And even though you were too late with Mr Fox, he's a familiar now! So he's still here!" She says. The endless beacon of optamism shines from her like a lighthouse it seems. 

Though on the topic of magic, one such as her does become more interested. "Well, the fire would should be easy for you then, and we can try and expand that too if we can, though maybe not when we are drinking... I don't think magic and drinking works out too well." She says with a small smirk. "But you asked about the Feywild. So it's basically like..." She huffs as she tries best to describe it. "A land of magic. But Infernum and stuff is evil right? Then you have that good magic place... Well the Feywild is like neutral? It's choas and change, so it is dangerous. But it's not good or bad. Take nature for example, it's not good or bad, even though flowers are nice and fires are dangerous. It's kinda like that, it's got good and bad to it as well" The explination probably wasn't for the best. But its rather obvious as only being half-fea she wouldn't know it in great detail, and she seems rather young in years too, so probably hasn't seen it herself 

"But don't worry, even though I like staying in the forest, I'll make that house tower spell thing tonight. I think that will both do us some good as well cause sleeping outside all the time can get sore after a while." At the changing smells comment, she smirks lightly, shaking her head. "It's not really me doing it. I can't really control it. My emotions cause it, but so do the seasons. So in the winter I'm usually sadder and stuff, and then that changes how I look and the scents I give off, emotions do it too, strong ones"*

*After a moments cause, she considers the options of the food and drink situation. She views Vynixi and her limited knowledge of culture is of someone not well treated. Plus they have been sitting here for a time. "One moment" She says as she gets up, taking the coins with her as she strides confidently up to the bar. What follows is a conversation with the bar owner, detailing how her magic can help him. A normaly person may have to prove such things, but Thyme, with her dryad nature of skin literally looking like wood and plans growing from her seems to do the trick. At any rate she returns after perhaps five minutes with a tray laden with things. Two mugs of mead, two hot stews and a small platter of bread and cheese. While some silver are gone, it's from her own pile. "Okay, so, there's mead and stew and stuff in front of you, do you need a hand eating or something? Sorry if that's rude... But don't worry about the money. It cost me some but the owner said he will give us this if I help him grow his weat and barely. He grows it in his feild to make the drinks and I can help with that, so it's all good!" She says in her bright, musical voice 

But then her tone takes a edge of confusion and seriousless. "But tell me about this bad stuff? You seem like a nice person, but everyone makes mistakes so I'm sure it's okay... Though you don't need to tell me if you don't want to, it's completely up to you"*
Alan
"Well maybe can try out being a guardian? It's at least worth a trial and if I can't do it well can always say I tried it. I mean I love animals a lot for some reason. Which is strange since I was not around animals growing up and than only met my fox later on. Of course that doesn't mean anything maybe it's something to do with my father, since I do know nothing about him." *She would smile as it wasn't a bad idea to try doing such a thing.*

"The fire would be nice to learn and yeah I agree on the not doing it while drinking. That would be a bad idea to do for sure. Best to learn that when we aren't drinking." *Vy would listen happily to her explanation of the Feywild, it was quite something to learn about but made sense* "I guess I didn't learn about any of that in the orphanage so that is actually interesting to learn about. It's nice learning about some of those things since I never thought about all that before."

"Oh well you don't have to do that if you rather not, but you are right that it does cause a person to be sore when constantly sleeping on the forest floor. Not all places are even ground or has a plush grass." *At learning more about her new friend she couldn't help but really be amazed that a race could actually be like that. It was so different from what she was used to for races.* "Thats actually amazing your body is well designed that way, to change with seasons and than emotions. I don't think I would have ever thought someone could be like that. It really is impressive that a race can be that way."

*Vy didn't know what Thyme was doing as she left but would just wait patiently. She must had wanted to do something or get something so it wasn't a big deal. Once she would return with so much food it was a bit of a surprise, and for her to be able to get it for less than by trading was a surprise.* "You didn't have to get all of this, Thyme. I would have been okay with the cheaper stuff especially since you traded to get some of this."
Michael
*Vy would feel a bit bad for it costing something from Thyme with helping out, but she was also thankful for Thyme being so kind.* "Thank you for getting all this... Oh just tell me where it is in front of me like thinking of the table as a sun dial, left to right. As long as I know the position of where things are I can get it fine after... Uh right the bad things. I suppose I want to tell you so you don't just... Think of me the wrong way. Let's say the last persons I met thought of me only in a bad light... But I have stolen before to get food, I know it's no excuse to say it was only a piece of fruit or bread here or there." *Vy looked down at her lap as she knew it was not good and she was ashamed of her things she'd done.* "I always paid it back later for it... But I should have just gone without anything over stealing I know... But I done it at times because I hadn't ate anything in 4 or more days... I'm sorry I'm just making excuses again, but yeah I have stolen food before. The other was I had to work at a brothel because of... Well someone took me when I left the orphanage a few years back. I just... Want to be honest with you now so you know who you be around. I don't steal anything else but food and I have paid for it later... Just after I finally could get some money for it."
Adam
*She nods slowly, before rolling her eyes at how her nodding was a stupid thing to do since her friend can't see. Regardless, she sets up the food at Vyini's sice of the table. "Alright, so right in front of you is a bowl of stew. The spoon is to your left side. To your right side is a small plate with bread and cheese. To your left side above the fork is a mig of mead. Are you sure you don't want any help or me to feed or drink help or something? I don't mind. Do you need anything else?" Thyme is obviously quite eager to make sure her new friend is well cared for. But at the same time it seems she doesn't realise how annoying it can be for a disabled person to be asked that all the time... At least she is trying 

"Oh and don't worry about me helping the owner. All I need to do is encourage the plants to grow more and make the soil richer, it helps me practice my magic and means I get to talk to the wheat and see how farm life is. Not great I imagine since it gets cut down and harvested you know... But I won't tell them that, plants can be kinda sensative about those things..." She says with a small giggle 

But then she listens intently to what Vy has to say about her past. She doesn't start eating, waiting until her friend begins, so her head in in her hands, elbows on the table as she listens with a small frown on her face. "Well, I don't think the stealing things is that bad. I mean yeah its wrong, but you paid it back and only to stop from starving so that sounds pretty reasonable to me, I mean compared to someone who just steals for fun right? I'm not sure what a brothel is but I'm sorry you had to work there if you didn't like it. But now if you have money you pay for food, and we won't need to pay for rooms cause we are staying in my spell home tonight so I mean, it all seems to have worked out in the end!" She says brightly. Does this girl **Ever** Get sad? It seems not 

"Oh and he said we can preform after our meal so that should get us more metal"*
Alan
"Thank you but I'm really okay once I know where to reach for. You been a lot of help already and you should enjoy your own food as well." *Vy would give a soft smile as she was thankful for her new friend, they really seemed to get along well even with their differences. Which for Vy meant a lot to her at the moment.*

"Oh goodness, that wouldn't be good at all if the plants got sensitive over that, the owner would very much be displeased than. But I'm sure it will be nice to practice your magic more and get to talk to the plants. I didn't think too many tavern did that anymore, though I suppose with it being a smaller town it's bound to happen." *Vy would get a piece of bread and feed it to her fox as they talked a bit, was best to let the stew cool a bit before trying to eat it and if she didn't give Lily some food she'd just try to steal it off the table.*

"It's wrong yes, but the last ones I met were very against it... To them it was you don't eat if you don't earn anything. Which I see their point on it, though to be so against a person and well say in so many of words you will get no work as a dancer because no one will trust you won't steal from them." *Vy would shake her head as that whole day had just been almost a bad omen.* "I never stolen to just steal, and if someone's hiring me I will have enough to pay for a meal or whatever else. I wouldn't need to steal from them, there are worse ones than just stealing some food for a moment. As for the brothel it's a place slaves or ones who want to go to please others in many ways, it just depends on the client you might get for the time. But you are right, it does seem to be working out, thank you for not acting well badly for what I had to say."

*Vy would pull the stew towards her a bit before trying it, it really did taste amazing. Lot better than some of the stuff she'd ate to survive this long.* "That sounds like a good deal, it will be fun to dance after actually not being hungry"
Adam
*She seems to relax a little once that she knows her friend will be okay with the eating. Though at the comment on the plants she laughs a little. "Oh don't worry, its not like talking its like... Emotions? So plants can't think and talk like we can but they give emotions and vauge soft of half-thoughts. If that makes sense" She explains. The comment on the tavern growing its own supplies confuses her, tilting her head to the side. "Most don't do that anymore? Why? I thought it made sense for the tavern to grow the stuff it uses cause then you know, it can make the stuff." Obviously being new to civilisation for the most part, she wouldn't know about trade or imports and exports

But from then she does begin to eat. She doesn't seem to have any reservations about eating meat and seems to rather enjoy her food, though does so slowly, obviously wanting it to last for some time, especially if this is their meal for the rest of the night and they are about to preform. When she sees the fox familiar getting fed, she smiles rather happily, watching the exhange with her excited, emerald green eyes 

"Very against it? I don't understand... If you don't eat, you'll die. So you had no choice. If you just then left I would see how that would be kinda bad... But you paid things back. So I think that makes up for it. I'm not sure who these people who think it's really wrong is, but I don't think it is, I think you did the right thing" She says firmly. "But I am sorry you had to work in like a pleasing slave house..." She says, not really getting the concept, but able to empathise since Vy seems to feel bad about it. "Hopefully that doesn't happen again." 

"Speaking of dancing. What kind would you prefer? Something upbeat and joyful? A slower sort of tone or something? Oh and what instrument would you like me to play on? What makes the best sound for your dancing?" She asks in a rather excited tone, obviously excited about their preformance coming up*

"Oh I guess I didn't know that about plants. But that actually sounds pretty cool either way with them still having emotions and half-thoughts. I'm sure the plants will still be happy to see you and have you talking to them." *Vy would smile as she thought about what type of emotions or thoughts they would have. It really want interesting to think about.* "Oh, well most get them shipped in from others places for a price. Some places can't keep up with the amount of customers or load so they get it from other places."

*Vy would be happy to eat her meal as it tasted great to her, letting her fox having some of the food too as it was just how she was. Always giving have the food to her fox was regular for her.* "I know, it's how I thought as well... But some just didn't think that way. Yes it was wrong but it was so I could survive. Maybe they just were very... Uh good natured or had a bad experience with thieves? It's was fine they didn't like me for that but... How they handed me returning a bad that this little one took drew a lot of attention to me... Pretty much making me seem like a thief fully so I didn't stay there once getting the bag back to the owner and since I didn't have any metal the one fruit I did have was paid by something more expensive since my earing was expensive." *Vy would shrug as she played it off as nothing bad* "Just got the one earing now but it's okay, least I still have my necklace, I didn't want to part with that."

"Oh I don't mind what I dance to, I'm usually just going with whatever the music goes. I never really picked a type before to dance to. Oh uh I didn't know about the instrument, I know my bells usually go good with any instrument I have danced to."
Adam
*"Thank you" She says brightly, and her voice sounds deeply honest. This is in response to Vy saying the plants would enjoy talking to Thyme. It seems to be a great compliment to her. But what's interesting to her is the explination of how taverns get their stock. True, to another this would be basic knowledge, or not that interesting even if just learned. But to Thyme it seems pretty interesting, resting one elbow on the table, huffing lightly as she tilts her head. "So they can't keep up with demand so order in? I guess that makes sense but then why not just make a larger field to grow stiff? Then you don't need to pay for the delivery right?" 

She then intently listens to the story that Vy has to say, learning more about her past and how she was treated. Once again this seems that her summer attitude deminishes a little at the sadness of the story. It doesn't go the the point of winter, perhaps a passing breeze of fall, the summer scent and look fading a little but still present. "Well, hopefully you don't meet anymore people like that, who act in such a bad manner. And I'm really sorry you lost your earing! I know people use metal for decoration of their bodies. Maybe we could get a new one for you if we get enough metal coins? That would be nice, I would like to do that for you. Do you know how much these cost?" She says, once again the air of summer fully flowing at her idea to help her friend. This isn't a person that is sad for very long. Though one must wonder how she is during actual winter

"Hmm, well not drums, that would over shadow the bells. I can't sing with a flute... How about a zither?" She asks, refering a box with strings as long as it, very similar to a guitar but not quite. "That would give an upbeat tone along with singing and the bells, lets go with that!"*
Alan
"Well some done have enough time to do more fields, especially in big cities where there is usually more than one tavern your well competing with. So ordering in is better because your focus isn't split on land and the business. Least that's how I see more of it working." *Vy did quite enjoy sharing her views on some things as it wasn't everyday she was able to share anything at all. She was limited on her knowledge since she couldn't read but she still understood some basic principles in life. Trying the mead she was pretty surprised at how good it was, it always tasted better than ale but that was just her taste for drinks, she liked a bit more fruity or sweet drinks.*

"Hey its nothing bad, you don't have to feel down over something in the past. Some just act a bit more... Rash I guess. Well I think if I find someone to trust and travel with it will be easier. Traveling alone and blind is harder to do and makes many take advantage of it.. Oh you don't need to do that, I just kept them for kind of emergency I guess. So if I needed to badly I could try selling them. Though most wanted to give way under because they thought I couldn't tell the value." *Vy would smile as it was nice of Thyme wanting to get her something.* "If I'm being honest I need to get some new clothes first, I'm sure mine are pretty bad."

"Well that sounds like a good plan for an instrument to dance to and yes I'm sure they will enjoy your singing as well. Best give them a good performance if we can especially with the owner being so generous." *Vy was honest excited to get to dance for people on her own terms in a tavern, she was usually not allowed to since they thought she'd just fall and make a mess. So getting a chance was great.*
Adam
*"Ohhhh..." Sge sats wuth a little huff, shaking her head. "Well that makes sense. I mean if you're running a tavern you don't exactly have time to be a farmer do you... Why didn't I think of that? That makes sense. So I guess this guy does it because it is a small village and he has enough time to do it, but in a town or a city he wouldn't have time because too many people!" She says brightly, as if she had just told the teacher the correct answer in school. Though, she's never been to school. "Wow that makes perfect senese, you're teaching me a lot so thank you!" She adds brightly. After her meal she seems to move onto her drink as well. This is taken more slowly still. Either to savour the flavour, or because she isn't sure how alcohol really reacts with her yet. Or perhaps still she doesn't want to get drunk before they preform, but its evident she enjoys the fruty drink 

"Well... I ubderstand travelling is hard, I couldn't even imagine what it is like blind, it must be really hard. I wish there was something I could do to help but I'm not a cleric or anything... Though maybe we could find one in the city who would help? That might be a thing?" She asks hopefully. She doesn't have knowledge that things like that are fairly complicated spells and only those well entrenched in the healing magics knows how to cure something like that. "Well, even if you don't get your eering we should for sure go clothes shopping with what coin we have. I'm not the best person for fashion advice though" She adds with a small giggle 

To their conversation on preformance she seems to agree readily with a nod. "For sure, you're right about the owner being generous which is nice. Do you want just the music so you can dance to it? I don't need to sing, I can take it or leave it. I think I will put on a preformance with magic though, Flowers and stuff like that, that always seems to have a good reaction"*
Alan
"Yeah that wouldn't be as easy as just running one. The good thing though is people are able to sell the crops to the tavern so it does help many people to be able to keep a house and food for their families." *Vy would chuckle as how excited Thyme could be, it really kept a cheer feeling in the air.* "Well I am just sharing the things I know so it's not that hard. I'm glad you are enjoying learning new things."

"It's hard to travel yes, but it's not the worst thing. I hate water... Especially rivers which does make trying to fish uh difficult as I just won't get close to one. Oh, I don't think I can get healed as I was born this way. It's not like I just lost it because of an accident. But I mean we can always look for sure if you would like to, though it's not needed." *Vy didn't mind being the way she was, sure at times was hard but it wasn't bad when you grew up blind.* "Oh well getting clothes at all would be nice, they don't have to be great looking just need to work."

"Don't worry about singing or not with me, do what feels best to you in the moment. I simply go with the flow in whatever it might be. But that sounds magical either way if you do some magic with it." *Vy would smile as she was excited to get to dance to someone's music and perform. It was more than she ever expected in long time, and to make a new friend, that was what made her the most happy actually.*
Adam
*"So if they make excess crops they can sell that too and get things they need, like food or clothes. Huh..." She says as if deeply considering, one hand on her chin and stroking it gently. "That's actually a pretty good system, no wonder you guys use it!" She says happily, before looking back up at Vy with a large smile, even though she wouldn't see it. "Well, even if it isn't hard for you, thank you for teaching me. Especially since this knowledge is needed when going to places like this. I'm glad I met you and not someone less friendly, then I would be in trouble" She says with a shape of her head as she sips her mead 

She seems dismayed and surprised about the next statement though. "You... Don't like water?" She asks with a small tilt of her head. It's not said in a mocking way. But it's like Thyme literally cannot understand the concept, she is unable to process that information. "I... Don't understand. Well... I guess that's why they have bridges right?" She says with a little giggle, though obviously remains very confused. "But yes, getting new clothes. We are in **Enter season here** Now, but we will want travel clothes for you. Something warm, boots, coats and things like that for the rain. Hmmm... Okay. Let's see what we have at the end of the night and we can work it out together! You help me and I help you!" She says brightly. 

"Alright, we will sing and play and dance. People should like that I think. Ohhhhh I have an idea. Yes. An idea." She says, nodding and humming like a mad scientist. She gives no hint to what this idea is however as she sits back and finishes off her mead. "I've finished my drink, but I'll probably not drink anymore until after the preformance. I don't usually get drunk, especially not before playing music, I don't think that would go down well. Especially since I almost burned down that tavern... But lets not talk about that right now!"*
Alan
"Exactly, that's one of those good things to have for a lot of people in the end. It's a really quite amazing how so many people can come together from other places to make so many well foods and drinks." *She would smile as she was happy to get to share her thoughts more with someone, especially since no one thought she was good enough to say anything worthwhile.* "You are right, knowledge is needed when traveling as you don't want to make a mistake by saying a wrong thing or by doing the wrong thing. It's quite a lot to deal with at times." *Vy would chuckle as she was happy for a good friend to talk to as well* "I agree it is very nice getting to talk with someone friendly, it's very nice actually."

"Uh... It's not really I hate it, it's more a fear of well deep water like rivers or lakes. I had a bad experience with it as a kid... Uh fell into a river and because I can't see up and down doesn't exist when in the water... So I well had a bad time with that." *Vy would tilt her head as she thought about the clothes she really did need.* "Yeah I guess I didn't need clothes like that, but we can just worry about the uh small things first... I don't need boots yet, it's not that cold at night or during the day I suppose yet. But I agree with the help each other, would be a good thing for us both."

"That sounds great, I'm excited to get to do all this and with you. It just seem like a lot of fun. Uh maybe we will do a bit of all of it, just do some stuff to wow the crowd, give them a lot of fun to see. Though you will have to show me later what you are planning as I won't probably see it. Oh I also need to see or more feel the stage before we start so I don't go falling off it." *Vy would chuckle as she knew it eas nit that big of a deal she's done it before.*
Adam
*"Hmm, you make a really good point. I mean we have different foods and stuff and it's all great. But I have heard that people in towns and cities get really creative with making food, different places and cultures do different things with food as well? It all sounds so good. I think that should be a thing I should do, go and try all different kinds of food and stuff, I would like that" They have both agreed it has been a fortunate thing that they met each other. To the point Thyme almost suggests that they should contining travellingtogether. However she stops herself, having the self-reflection to think that may be to presumptionists 

"Oh... Fear deep water? That makes sense given your condition... Yeah that makes sense now, and I'm sorry. I don't really know how to fix that. Though if you were to fall in water I could make you float or get my bear friend to come in and get you! So you wouldn't have to worry!" She says brightly. As Vy talks about the need for new clothes and what type, it sparks a plan in Thyme's mind. But she isn't one to share that plan

Though she is more relenting with her other idea in mind. "Alright, my idea is to make rose petals fall around you while you're dancing, I know the magic for you. I don't think it would get in the way. Like it wouldn't block your way or anything and I don't think you'd slip on them, but it's up to you or not! I usually make lights or plans and flowers when I preform, it adds to the preformance and people usually like it when it happens. And don't worry, we have a whole space in the corner to set up. I'll make an area with vines for the stage edges so you know where it ends!"*
Alan
"Well trying all different kinds of food does sound like a lot of fun, i don't know what all I would eat if i tried food from different places but I think it would be fun. Maybe we can go looking for places... Uh travel around and try food? I mean that's if you want to do something like that. If you would like to do that... Well with me?" *Vy didn't know if she had overstepped by asking that or not but it was something she thought could be fun traveling with a friend.*

"Yes, it's not something I like being around. But thank you for saying you would do such things if I did fall in. It was one of those things I have a more fear for with it all having happened how it did in the back." *She would rub her neck feeling a bit embarrassed with such a fear but it was just how it went for her.*

"Oh that sounds really pretty, I'm sure the crowds will like seeing that a lot. I wouldn't trip on them either as I been dancing barefoot for a long time, so I say go with it. And do whatever else you want to do, this is your performance as well so you need to enjoy it too." *She would smile as she wanted them both to be in the spotlight. That was the main thing that she wanted for them.*
Adam
*Where Thyme thought she would overstep, it seems Vy steps in naturally to fill the gap. Indeed, the topic of Thyme using her magic to create a dwelling for them both may have seem hasty, if not very convient. She for sure thought she would be shot down if asked for more travelling with her newfound friend. The fact Vy asked first creates a gust of summer from her. Though most of it would be missed by Vy due to her blindness, one could not escape the smell of fresh flowers and the scent of freshly cut grass for but a moment at the offer, which leaves Thyme beaming. "I was going to suggest that, but I didn't think it would be too far. But I would love for us to travel more. We could preform where we go and try all kinds of things! And you know more about well... People and civilisation than I do, and I can do a lot with magic! So we would help each other!" She says brightly. If she wasn't in a good mood before (which she was), this increased it tenfold 

"Well good, I'm glad you won't trip. We should start until it gets too late, it gives us time to collect metal shard... Coins, too, and we might even get free drinks! A few people buy you a drink or something" She says as she rises from her seat. "Alright, I've got my hand out directly in front of you, you can take it and I will lead us to the empty area we can preform, or you can follow behind me" She says in her firm, protective voice. Much like she was when leading Vy through the crowd in the market*
Alan
"Oh you are not going to overstep with asking to travel with me, I'm more than happy to have a travel friend. It would make it a lot more fun and well safe to have a friend by me. And you and me, we seem to get along well, so I think we can definitely be able to make it around and go off trying different foods. It sounds so exciting to be able to do something like that." *Vy would chuckle a but as her tail was swishing slightly behind her with her excitement.* 

*She would smile as she took Thyme's hand and

*She would smile as she took Thyme's hand and got up, she was fine with following close to her.* "Thank you, I think i will follow you like this just in case there is more tables than I can handle. Don't want to pick a fight with them" *She would smile as she thought of it as a funny joke being fighting a table*

"Oh your summer breeze seemed really nice too, you were excited to have a travel partner as well? I'm just guessing here so you can tell me if I'm wrong. I don't want to overstep."
Adam
*"I'm really glad. I often stick to the forest but I sometimes come out to villages like this. To be honest I've only been to a town once and I can't remember the name even. I've never been to a city and honestly if I did go, I think I'd get lost or in trouble because I don't know anything about them. But I know there are like guards and laws you have to follow and honestly it's confusing. So it would be amazing travelling with you for us to help each other out. And you're right, we seem to get on great so having a friend to travel places and try new things with sounds fantastic" She says brightly before leading Vy

Much like before, but this time even more carefully, she leads Vy through the tavern. Being s village tavern it isn't huge, but the day has turned to Night and the evening is dimmed, so people are now in full swing of eating and drinking, and most have had more than one drink at this point, so it's loud, people are walking less carefully and there are lots of tablets and chairs. As they move, Thyme is more firm than usual, both her expression and movement is defensive. She gives Vy's hand a small squeeze before moving. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you" She says as they make their way through the crowd

Though as the mention of her summer comes up, she smiles. "I am happy and excited yes, it was by pure chance we met and we've gotten on so well, so I'm looking forward to our adventures" Her voice slightly raised so she can be heard over the crowd as they move

They do however find where they are to preform, against one wall and opposite the fire so they can be seen by everyone but not get in the way. There is a patch for them where tables and chairs have been moved, so a section is empty. However, she moves a hand and slowly creates thick green vines in a square shape at the edges of their area. Leading Vy to one edge, she taps Vy's foot against the thick vines, which are raised up lightly, like a bump against the floor*

*"Feel these? These are around the edge of the area we have. So if you feel them, you're at the edge and need to go back. I'll move you back right into the center, we have plenty of room but it's just in case"*
Alan
"Well I stayed at my orphanage for a long time so I can get the feeling of wanting to stick with something that is familiar. But it's not bad once you start to travel, it's a lot at first but with time you will start to understand the differences in areas. And yes, understanding the laws are the one main thing in a city for sure, don't want to do anything that would get you in trouble but I will help you out the best I can. I'm glad you are wanting to well travel with me as well and to try things together. It's going to be an exciting new chapter maybe for the both of us." *Vy would smile as she hoped her new friend would feel the same way too.*

*Vy didn't mind being led through the area as it really did sound noisy and crowded which made her a bit nervous with it all. Through she was a bit more relaxed with knowing Thyme wasn't going to let her get lost into the crowd. Vy would also keep hold of her small fox as she got lead through, sure the past people said her fox was an adult but she really wasn't, she was still just a kit.* "Thank you, it really feels comforting knowing someone's watching out for me. It also makes me feel like well Lily could have a less stressful life for her too because she's always watching over me. And well she shouldn't have to."

*At them getting to the corner she would feel the vine to know what it was like, this was all things that helped her find edges for her.* "Alright that seems easy enough to know where it is. I'm sure I won't need it too much but it's a good safety for me. I just need to walk the edge to count the steps and than from center to edge. I know my way around than and hardly go past it since I'm used to my well strides." *Vy would set down her fox before starting to walk the edge and counting the steps till she knew the layout pretty well she thought.*
Adam
*"Well, if i was on my own it would be for sure very scary and uncomfortable, it takes a lot of effort to even to come to places like this. The only thing that makes me go is that I can protect myself with magic, or turn into an animal and run away, or use my bear friend to help me! But if we are travelling together and look out for each other I'm sure we will be fine. Magic will keep us self safe, we will always have somewhere safe and dry to stay and always food and water thanks to my magic. Then your street smarts and knowledge of how things work will make sure we are always in the right place, so I'm not worried, I'm pretty excited!" 

"Don't worry' she says softly as they finally make their way through the crowd and she shows Vy the edges of the area they have to dance. "I'll lead you anywhere you need to go to keep you safe" She says

As they are in the area and Vy is touching where to go to get a feel for the space they have, Thyme would say to her "I will be in the back corner to your right, but I'll make vines in front of me so you don't bump into me, we still have personal space!" She says with a giggle as she moves to the area she will preform, sitting down on a chair before taking her stringed instrument out. After a few warm up plucks on the strings to check it is in tune, she slowly begins to play, the first tune starting off as soft and light, joyful and gentle to warm the crowd up to the music and playing and to give Vy a feel for the dancing as well*
Alan
"It is kind of scary when being alone but there is always a lot more you can do when you have a friend with you. That's always what I have well thought but I don't know as I never traveled with a friend." *She would smile as she squeezed Thyme's hand gently.* "Well you won't have to run away with me around, we can make it wherever we might go. I don't think I have street smarts in big cities but I know some of the stuff needed." 

*Vynixi felt relieved with having her leading through the crowd. It really did make her feel more safe and less like someone might think if she tripped and landed by them she'd wanted to be flirting with them. She had no experience in that anyways.* "Thank you Thyme, it's nice having a good friend to help."

"I'm not worried, but that's a good plan to make sure I don't go falling into you. We probably don't need a fail like that with us performing today." *Vy was getting used to the area as she moved a bit in the center. Listening to the music starting as she'd get ready, her steps would be light as she started to move with the music.*
Adam
*She smiles as her hand is squeezed and does so in return. "Well, hopefully we won't be doing any running at all. Unless we were in a race or something like that... And you won't need to worry about travelling long distances, I can turn into a horse and carry all our stuff! Though I guess I won't be able to talk much when doing that... Hmm... We will see" She says with a little smirk. But as she is thanked she does indeed grow more heartfelt and serious, but in a good way. "You're welcome Vynixi, I'm glad we became good friends, I think we will get on great on our adventures" 

Once the preformance began, the first song starts off slow. Though the words and tone are pleasent and jovial, and about nature obviously. Loud enough for everyone to hear but not commanding the entire room, at least not yet. The strings being plucked and pulled create clear notes, easy for one to hear and feel, and obviously to dance along to, which Vy begins doing. As the song moves, as does Thyme's magic, weaving it into the music and around her. From her seated position, slow flowers begin to grow around her and even glow softly, which of course elicts gasps and aclaimations from the patrons. Many eyes locked on the dancing woman and the magic. Clearly these two are no common bards coming in*
Alan
*Making a new friend really was turning out well, her and Thyme seemed to get along. She hoped it would stay this way and they might keep growing with their journeys they might take. Maybe even get some more to come with their group? It would be fun she thought if they were able to do that one day but only time would tell. For now she was just enjoying having a friend and well someone she felt she could really trust actually.

Though the song started off slow Vynixi would be able to quickly get into the rhythm of the song as she'd start to dance in soft fluid movements. It was fine with her having them start off with a more slow song to build it up for the crowd. Sometimes starting off as loud and quick can make some of a crowd unhappy and not drawn to the performance in a good way. And it seemed to be working with whatever magic Thyme was using was drawing more eyes onto their performance, this made Vy smile as it was fun getting to dance for a crowd that might just need a performance to make the night end on a good note for them. 

Though Thyme and Vynixi were completely different for how they perform and look it really felt like they had some time of link through their music and likes that made Vynixi just feel joyous in the moment. Maybe it was only her but she hoped maybe they both felt happy with this new friendship and would keep growing. Vy little fox would join in a bit as it danced around the stage too to have a bit more excitement to the performance.*
Adam
*The idea of forming some sort of travelling band sounds like a great idea. Not only would it add to their friends, but also their money and collective knowledge of where to go. Not to mention their skill and increase their overall preformance. If they could get others to join them, it would surely be a great boon to their travelling group already. However, there is a big problem of actually finding other people willing to do that, it may take some time...

The song is indeed rather slow paced and probably only meant for a person just to play and sing it and not actually a dancer. This wouldn't be on purpose; it is true Thyme has never played for a dancer before, so the situation is new to her. But at the same time it does give them both a change to warm up to the sound of each others playing, singing and movements, and the crowd a chance to relax and focus on the preformance and warm up to it

Once the song reaches its end, the crowd is gathered mostly. Especially preforming at this time, when most have had a good few drinks is the best. That way they aren't too drunk, but drunk enough to feel happier and more light heared about everything, so the preformance has it's best effect. The next song is indeed more upbeat. Not only does it have her plucking on the strings of the instrument, but also has her banging the side of it in time with the music, creating a thumping beat to dance along to. It is here her magic comes into affect. As Vy and her fox dance to the music, a wave and a few whispered words from Thyme start the spell, and a slow falling stream of red rose petals begin to fall from the ceiling and all around Vy, creating gasps and cheers from the crowd*
Alan
*Vynixi though not used to such a slow paced song was able to still find a way to dance with the rhythm. It's movements sure were not as many but it still went well with the song in her own way. Her years of dancing and finding the beat helped her in times like this because she made up her own vs following someone else's calligraphy for it, this is always something that made her have a bit more fun with it since she could do such a thing.

When the first song ended she would give a little bow to the crowd, giving a bit of a charming smile that to her succubus race would help draw in people because of the charming affect it had. As the next song would start Vy would smile more as she would dance a bit more livel,, with it drum from the side of the instrument she would move to a almost new position with the dance. 

This was more enjoyable than she expected and it was fun getting to hear a crowd so happy. She could only image what the crowd might be seeing with the two performing but it seemed to make them cheer them on more. Which Vy didn't mind, she didn't know how many songs Thyme would play but she would just plan on keeping up till they would finish.*
Adam
*Indeed the first song would go down well due to her singing and the song, but not so well with the dancing; hence why she picked up the pace with the second. But of course she pauses in between so they can see to the crowd, with Vy giving a bow and Thyme giving a friendly wave and a big smile before moving to the second song. Which is far more upbeat, the strings mixing with the thumping beat almost gives a primal feel to the music along with the elegence of the strings. That mixes seemingly perfect with the dancing and falling rose petals 

The crowd seem totally taken by Vy. Hardly paying attention to Thyme who is in the back and playing; their eyes are on the falling red petals which Vy dances to and all around. Thyme herself finds herself anamoured. How could she not? Her first time seeing one of Vy's race, a succubus, knows for their beauity. Dancing and weaving against falling rose petals along with smooth music. Thyme finds herself looking more at Vy and less time at the crowd.

But her music does not stop, in face it gets faster, louder, its as if the dancing has infected her and spurs herself on to play even more music at a louder tone. It isn't agressive or too loud, in fact it seems rather fitting to play in a tavern such as this, and it's obvious the crowd are very into it*
Alan
*Though the first one sure wasn't easy to dance to she managed to. With the second ones pace being more upbeat she was having more fun dancing with it, the rhythm was actually exciting with the drumming and strings, her own bells on her outfit making a new tempo to it. This was all almost hypnotic with her dancing.

Vy didn't know how the crowd was completely reacting but she was more than happy to keep dancing for them. Giving some twirls and more complicated moves with it. Looking back towards the area of Thyme she would smile as she was enjoying the music, it was really beautiful hearing to her. Maybe she would have to ask to learn to play a simple one, though that would not be an easy task.

As the music got faster Vynixi couldn't help but smile more as she loved more fast music at times. It gave a more life to dancing than a slow one and it did make the crowds in a tavern more lively. Maybe they would get a good tip from this as she would keep on dancing to the new tempo.*
Adam
*With the three blends of music, the strings of the instrument giving the main crux of the music, the beating like a drum giving the pace and beat, and the bells adding like a spice, an extra to the mix. Added with the dancing succubus, the falling rose petals from magic and the sheer strangeness of their species. A beautiful but strange succubus with a tail dancing, and a half-dryad with the beauty of the elves mixed with the strange, wood like and nature apperence of the Dryads. It's certainly a sight to behold. One that has captured every patron of the bar 

As Vy smiles at Tyme, it is returned with her own large smile, unaware if Vy is unable to see at this moment, or using her fox friend for the task. Either way, her own smile couldn't be wider as she watches Vy dance. Though never missing a beat on the music 

It seems clear that Vy is liking the new pace of the music, so Thyme keeps it up. Not going faster or slower, but keeping this fast, excited pace right where it is and not changing a thing about it. Letting the crowd sink into the rythem and beat. Letting them get used to and captivated by the display of them both until the song will come to and end and the preformance will conclude, which surely would lead to many metal shard from their act*
Alan
*Vynixi was enjoying the mix of music they were having it gave off so much fun energy she thought as she would dance along to it. Though it wouldn't seem like anything more than dancing she would be feeding off the good energy around them. A succubus trait she couldn't control but it helped her feel better. Gave her more energy to dance along with the music.

Vy was more than happy to be dancing along to Thyme's music and would no doubt be sharing how she loved the music later on as she went. Though talking now would be rude even if to complement Thyme for her skills in music. They did make a good team when it came to this.

With the faster pace was easier to come up with some more complexe moves that helped to wow the crowds. She knew that this was going to help them win the crowd over more. Not knowing when they would stop she would just keep up with it. This hopefully would make a lot of people like them in the end and give them a nice extra cash for them to use later.*
Adam
The music in the room is so much more and upbeat. Where bard or other music person would make a cheerful and alive tune, Thyme's music indeed does come alive. The face paced music is met with the magic, the growth of flowers all around her of every shade and hue with bright green stalks and the smells of summer, like a sunlit medeow and freshly cut grass would be the scent that fills the space around them creating such a scene for the crowd when its mixed with the dancing of the succubus and the falling roses 

Thyme herself seems to be feeding off the energy, drawing from it to enhance her mood and energy. Of course she is not actually doing it, but one could imagine her to be more alive and her emotions uplifted due to this. Of course, Vy is actually doing this... Taking the positive energy and attention and drawing it to herself to expand her life, gaining months and years of life from the energy. Of course, it was a trait of her species she could not control. Besdies, its not as if Thyme knows she can do this... Yet 

But of course, the music must stop at one point. This pace can only sustain itself for so long and attention is a fleeting mistriss. The song comes to an end, as does their preformance. Not suddenly; the music slows and the singing dims, heralding the end of the preformance. To which the crowd are both happy and sad. It means they can return to their drinks and conversations, but they were surely into the music and the two preformers who have left a lasting impression. As it ends, many of them come forth to tip money to them*
Alan
*The lively music, the sounds of the crowd, the smells of summer. All of this was addictive for Vy, it gave off so much fun and positive energy that it made it feel as if every cell in her body was dancing as well. None of this would have been possible without Thyme, she felt very lucky for once. She'd found someone who didn't look down on her and actually wanted some of the same things, a rare diamond in the rough she thought. 

With the music finally ending Vy would end with a low bow to the crowd before looking back at Thyme and smiling. She was tired but also she felt alive, she didn't really know how many songs they went through only that she'd enjoyed every one of them and let the music carry her away into its melody. Heading to the back of the stage so she could take a bit of a breather, she didn't want to just sit on the floor right on the stage. It was easier to lean back on the wall and catch her breath there.

Hearing the tips she'd laugh a bit, they seemed to have won the crowd over in this small town. It felt better not having to run from a town, this day seemed to have been a good one, she made a friend, partner in music, and a travel guide well travel guide as making sure she doesn't fall over and stuff. But in all it's been a fun day, she would be excited for when she could actually see Thyme but it would have ro wait for the time being.
Adam
*Once the music has ended, she rises from where she is sitting. The very instument she is holding disolves into white and red rose petals, leaving her arms and hands free as she too gives a bow to the crowd. Soon her magic would slowly stop. The petals would stop falling and those which have had would dissapear into mist, the plants and flowers around her would also fade. Her eyes scan the crwod, making sure to give eye contact and a smile to each so no one would feel left out of such a thing, it is unlikely they will get such a preformance again, at least for a longtime 

Though her eyes get distracted for a moment as Vy heads off to catch her breath. It confirmes that she was indeed tired from the dancing, which is of no surprise given how fast the music was going and how exotic she was dancing. So Thyme is ensured with the crowd, wishing to take their attention so that Vy could take all the time she needs to rest. So when some of the crowd comes up to donate, Thye thanks them gracefully and begins handing out flowers. Asking each person what their favourite flower is, creating it and giving it out to the ones who gave money until the crowd has returned to their meals and drinks 

It is only then that Thyme comes to Vy to check she is okay. Now they are not being looked at and have time to themselves. Thyme places a gentle hand on her shoulder to let Vy know she is there, and from which direction. Though Vy can likely work that out from the direction of her voice. "Are you okay? Do you need something to drink or eat? I can lead you to our table if you need help" She asks, her voice laced with concern*
Alan
*Vy was more than happy to let Thyme take over and handle the crowd as she rested in the back. She couldn't remember the last time she had that much fun dancing to fast music. Sure she'd danced to orher things but this... It had been a long time since letting lose and just enjoying the way the music flowed in her bones. 

Vy would push her hair back as she laughed a bit under her breath, maybe she could really get used to something like this, the energy and joy of it... Was all something she'd wanted but had lost any hope with getting after what had happened to her those few years ago. She was sure she would be laughing more and feel alive with a friend like Thyme. 

At hearing and feeling Thyme now close she couldn't help but smile, this was all thanks to her new friend.* "I'm okay, don't worry just a bit well tired, but it's a good tired. One that's making me feel full with the night, like I finally did something worth the day. Though something to drink would probably be good, can always use something after dancing like that." *Vy would smile at Thymr as she would pat her friends hand softly.*
Adam
*It takes a long while until the crowd are sated, many complimenting the dancing, the music, the magics or a combination of all three. They have gained a wealth of money. Surely not a fortune, but enough indeed to see them well the next few days, even a couple of weeks if they are careful. But Vy will have to sort that all out, lest Thyme be confused. Either way, as Thyme is making flowers and speaking to them all, it takes... Time, to extract herself from the crowd 

While she cannot draw energy from others around her, it's no wonder that her body is buzzing with energy and joy. Summer in full bloom. She has much loved doing this herself but on doing it with someone and preforming as they did tonight as set her emotions alight, while they have already agreed to keep travelling together; this has solidified in her mind to do this more and continue with their plans 

"Good, I am glad you are well, and don't worry, we will rest soon. I have magic enough to make our home" She says with a happy tone, and the hand on her shoulder would move after Vy pats it softly, but it moves To Vy's hand so she can lead them back to their table. "Stay here, I will be a moment" She advises. When she returns not a moment after, she has two mugs and a tall pitcher. Casting the spell "Create food or water", she fills the pitcher with water and pours out a glass. Of course she could have asked for some, but who knows how clean the water would be? 

"Okay, to your left hand is a mug of mead, and to your right is a mug of water. Sit and rest for a moment, you were completely amazing"*
Alan
*Vynixi hummed a bit if her respond on doing well. She didn't know when the last time she'd been that tired but it was nice. She was sure she'd sleep well even if sleeping on damp grass though that wouldn't be the case for them. They actually would have a place that's dry and warm. A new luxury from having such a friend with the magic she had, but that wasn't the reason she wanted to be friends it would be a selfish one if that's all she thought about. No she just really needed a good friend and maybe more would come with time, she could only hope now for that.*

"You handed out flowers again. You seem to like to do that for the people, it's very sweet of you to want to do that for them. I'm sure it makes them all feel special for the time being. And I'm not worried, this is hardly anything for having to wait to rest." *Vy would smile as she would follow Thyme back to their table before sitting down. Making sure to get her little fox off the ground again just to he safe.* 

*Waiting for Thyme to return was easy as she just listened to the towns people speaking, it was nice getting to hear so many happy voices in one area. Hopefully this could continue for them. With Thyme returning she would smile again in thanks, it was nice having someone watching out for her once again like this. It just helped her remember not everyone was so bad.* "So were you, your voice and playing was amazing. I can dance sure but to be able to do all that you did was well breathtaking in itself. You really are very talented Thyme, I'm glad I have been able to meet such an amazing person on the road today." *Vy really meant it as she would take the water to drink, it was probably best to have the water first for the moment and the rest they could have later.*
Adam
*For herself she was pretty tired from all the excitment and the preformance itself. Not to mention the magical cost of casting the spells and sustaining the magic. Though these were minor spells, doing so many in a short time takes its toll. Though she is very sure to keep her energy in severe for her large spell later on so they have somewhere to sleep; a large spell like that would surely require a lot of magical energy. Luckly, being part fae and a druid means she has a wealth of such magic. Still, it's always better to rest after such things. Though its obvious Vy would be more spent after dancing so much, it being far more physically taxing than Thyme's own efforts 

"Thank you" She says with a smile as she is called sweet. "It's a simple magic to summon flowers, and who doesn't like flowers right? They make everything better, and if I can make people even a little happier then there is no reason why I shouldn't. I never asked what was your favourite flower, I should be sure to make sure you always have at least one of them" She says as they sit on the sofa. The preformance may have tired them somewhat, but there is no mistake it has lifted their collective spirits, both having a joyful task that not only they liked, but brought in money. On top of that, they have found great friends in each other, made plans to travel and even make a bardic group. Though who knows what time will bring. More than friendship? It is certainly possible with how well they are getting on and how they seem to instinctivly take care of each other 

"You flatter me too much" She says after taking a long drink of water, much needed after singing and using her voice for the night. After a good amount of water, she seems much refreshed, just as a plant would be after rain. Though her drinking water is not the only thing causing her pause. Being called amazing by Vy is not something she takes lightly, and already a blossom of colour marks her cheeks. Though she responds well with*

*A large smile. "But thank you, but honestly it was our combination. My singing and music might be nice, but next to your amazing dancing and how well you seem to do it... Despite your restriction you move like no other, not one mistake... It is amazing to watch honestly, I think we are matched very well. With us preforming like this we will be the most famous travelling bards in all the kingdoms!" She declares happily. Her declaration must have been heard by those around her, for some patrons cheer at this, lifting their mugs and giving another round of applause for the two travellers*
Alan
*Vynixi smiled as she agreed most did like flowers, least that is something she thought was true as well.* "It can't be that simple Thyme, I can't do such a spell so it still is complex in its own way. But you are right that flowers do usually make everything better. It's a good way of thinking to try and make others happier if you can with such a thing like making a flower... Oh uh my favorite flower? To be honest I don't have a favorite one, there was never a lot of flowers around but wild ones in the place I grew up at."

*With all the things that had happened she really hadn't thought much about it, her home or anything about her past in a while. The bees was something she did like about it than but it was some time since she'd even been around the bees.

She hope that this friendship would keep lasting though as she wanted to keep someone close, maybe they would keep growing close even? She didn't want to push anything though with such a new relationship with someone. Though it was nice with getting to learn and be close with another.*

"Don't think I don't mean it, I mean ever word of it because you are amazing. Your singing and playing just makes it peaceful to listen to you. But I also really like talking to you as well. Your a great conversationalist and well just someone I want to get to know more and explore the world with." 

*Vy was happy that Thyme seemed happy with their performance as well, it made her want to almost impress Thyme more but she didn't want to push anything too fast.* "Well I think it would definitely happen if we keep on doing as well as we are, it makes me happy to know you are wanted to continue withe and travel to explore the rest of the world."
Adam
"Well, just because you can't do something doesn't mean its not simple... Its just that you haven't leared yet! Like... You didn't know how to walk at somepoint, and now you do, and walking is simple! I mean... Maybe not as simple if you can't see so erm... Well..." She says as she clears her throat, realising what a mistake she has made. "Well, you know what I mean anyway!" She says in an attempt to free herself from the trap she has placed herself in. "And as for your favourite, we will find it together. I can make different ones each day, and by their smell you can tell me which one you like the most!" She says, rather proud of her plan 

Despite her many faux pas, it is clear how protective Thyme is of Vy, and how well they get on and preform together. It would be no surprise at all for over time if their friendship grew to be something more. Especially if there was a romantic ball coming up...

"A conversationalist? Well of course I am! I talk to people, animals and plants! You can just talk to other people, so I've done a lot more talking than you" She says with a playful laugh, though she does take the compliment in stride. "Though I am glad you hold me in such high esteem, I couldn't think of anyone better to explore the world and travel and get to know more than you. I think we are really lucky to have found each other" 

"But first we need to count out how many shards we gained tonight, or should we do that tomorrow. I'm unsure how tired you get after these things, do you want to stay here longer? Or should I make our magic home outside of town? Its quite big so we'd need to walk to a flat area. I'm not sure what would happen if I cast the spell when inside a building... And I don't really want to find out... I don't think it would end well"*
Alan
*Vy couldn't help but laugh a bit at how Thyme really thought at times. There was no bad feeling with what she was trying to come across with. It just made her laugh a bit in a good way* "Don't worry I understand what you are meaning, it's still something you are no doubt better at than me. I'm sure we can find my favorite like you think, it will no doubt take some time to do though I'm sure, but it will be nice to know what type I do like." 

*She would smile as she did think Thyme was a much better conversationalist than herself. But that was one thing she was liking more about her, she always just had a positive and upbeat thought on life which was kind of contagious.* "I suppose you have a bit more experience with that than me, but it's a good thing. Your kind of contagious with your happiness it's making this whole trip idea seem way more exciting than originally planned."

*With the coming travels it was sure thing they would grow closer and who knows it might just turn into something more with the upcoming ball. Only time would tell but it all just felt exciting for Vy. Maybe they could also get a few more people to join them as well.

She would wonder a bit of how many shards they had but really it wasn't needed to know at the moment.* "I think I'm fine with us going to rest, we can see how much we made tomorrow and go from there. And yes, I agree we should probably not try such a spell on this building or any building for that matter. Probably don't need to pay for someone's building if it gets destroyed." *Vynixi chuckled a bit as she could kind of imagine what it might have looked like.*
Adam
*Of course Thyme meant nothing bad with her first comment, even if making a faux pass she was guinine in seeking her words, which is obvious, she has not said a bad thing all night. On top of that- she always seems happy. Even now, when tired and at the end of the night she has this endless pool of optamism and joy that she is all too happy to share with Vy. Of course this is her personality, but could it also be an effort to impress Vy? After all- she now knows that Vy feeds off energy, could Thyme be making sure to give her some? Who knows...

"Well, I do aim to please! I am glad you are exctied, we will need it going forward, with both of us happy and excited we will have a much better shot of exploring and going to new places. Though despite my extra experience, I don't know how much it will help us. Plants ad animals aren't exactly the same level of conversationalist as people are, so I might need your help if we are to gain more people" 

"Then it is a plan" She says as she slowly gets up from the table. "I have enough energy to preform the spell needed, but would need to rest afterwards for sure. So let us find a nice empty spot for me to cast it, then we can have a good rest tonight and plan her next adventure!" She says as she reaches over to squeeze Vy's shoulder gently, her usual gesture of both warmth and affection, but to also let Vy know where she is and help Vy move around in the word. "Now it will be a tower I make. The more energy I put into the spell, the more rooms I can make, but if we are just using it to sleep tonight then it won't take much time at all"*
Alan
"I know you are wanting to aim to please but don't think you have to do that always around me okay? We all have days we aren't perfectly happy all the time and that's okay if you aren't. I won't judge you if you have a day like that and just need to let out some otheg type of emotions." *Vy didn't want her new friend to think that's all that was wanted from her as she wanted to also have someone just to be around.*

"If it's going to be too much for you we can rent a room, it's not that big of a deal to do that. I don't want you to push yourself too hard just to impress me. I done more than my share of just sleeping outside so any bed is fine with me." *Vy was a bit concerned when Thyme said she needed to rest after as it seemed like she'd used up a lot already just for the night.*

*She would smile at liking thr idea of planning the new adventure but still was worried for Thyme* "If you must do the spell just enough for a small bedroom is enough, we don't need anything that fancy just to sleep in especially since I'm not really seeing it either. A small tent size is really all one person needs but for two we probably need a bit bigger but not by much."
Adam
*She smiles soflty but very happily at this, squeezing Vy's shoulder gently. "Thank you Vy..." She says, using a nickname for the first time. "I think I will have a lot more good days with you around, but I appriciate that I can be myself around you. And you can to me as well, you don't need to try and impress me or be happy all the time. It seems we can both be honest and lean on each other" She says in a soft, but very honest voice 

Though at the suggestion of renting a room, Thyme huffs. "And not impress you with my awesome magic? I don't think so!" She says with a giggle before growing more serious. "And don't worry, I have the energy from it. The room will be clean and magical with nothing out of place. So for sure better than a rented room here and it saves us shards too. So don't worry at all" And indeed with this, the hand moves from Vy's shoulder to her hand, holding her hand gently so she can lead her out of the tavern, making sure Vy doesn't bump into anything 

Since the village is so small- it's not too far to walk for the space needed. Though the night air is cool and the wind carries a breeze. Thyme is lucky she can see in the dark- for the further out of the tavern they go, the darker it gets. Though Thyme isn't going too far, as it can be dangerous in the wilds. Once she has the space for the spell, she cast's "Kellenir's Tower" At low level, so only two spells are made. She can of course create more, but none are really needed and she wants to save energy. The two rooms are as follows 
- A bedroom with a bed, chairs, chest and a magical fireplace 
-A washroom with toilets, wash tubs, a magical braiser and sauna benches

With that, Thyme moves to lead Vy inside carefully. Since the spell is instant, they don't need to wait long at all. All Vy hear's is the spell being cast and soon enough she enters into a warm, comfy place*
Alan
*Vynixi couldn't help but chuckle at the nickname she didn't get one very often and she actually kind of liked Vy, it sounded kind of something a friend might call out while her full name sounded almost like a dancers name. Which maybe it was, she didn't ever know why her mother even named her.* "I hope we both will have good days, we deserve to have some good in our lives no? Also if I'm getting a nickname you should too, though I don't know any good nicknames... And you don't need to worry about me, I'm not too down much but I'm very bad at hiding my emotions. Maybe it's because I can't see others expressions? Who knows why."

"Okay okay, I won't force you not to make something impressive, I'm sure it will be one anyway. You already can do quite a lot of impressive magic so not like you have to impress me more though." *Vy was happy to hold Thyme's hand and head off to find a new spot for them to go to making this sleeping area. It was also just a nice night being on a stroll really.

To say the least she was surprised at how it was quickly done and soon enough was entering this house that was warm. How it was warm already is what really surprised her more than anything. Must be part of the magic that makes it so warm* "That went a lot faster than I thought it would be for well coming together. I didn't think a spell could form that quick especially for making a home"
Adam
*"Of course we will have good days! We are together and I really like you!" She says happily as they walk to the outskirts of the village. But then she pauses after saying that. Was that too much? Nooo it was fine. Was it? As bad as it sounds, its a good thing can't see Thyme and her look of shock at what she said, but it is gone in a moment as she focuses on the magic. "Well, if you like Vy I should probably keep using it, plus its easier to say- and it can be like our secret code. But one for me... Hmm... I don't know actually. Cause Thyme is the herb but its also the passage of... Time." She says with a snort and a small laugh. "So I don't know how you would shorten that. You can't even call me T, cause that's like the drink tea! Yeah... You're on your own in that one in figuring out my nickname!" 

Indeed the spell was quick. After some hand waving and words the home appeared and they soon go inside. It wasn't cast at a very high level; just two rooms. She could have made a lot, lot more. A living room, observatory, kitchen, study and so on... But they don't need all that right now, and that would be too much energy to spend after all the magic she cast tonight as well. 

But the place is very good. The magical fire is very warm, filling up the who bedroom, the fire being smokeless since it was magical. "Alright, I can make more rooms if you want, another bedroom, a living room and stuff like that if you want? Right now I've made one bedroom and one bathroom cause I figured that's the essentials and that saved magical energy, but if you want anything more then I can make it!"*
Alan
"I really like you as well, you're the first not to well take my faults as the only thing I am. You been willing to see well me, the real me. And so I uh really like being with you." *Vy would be a bit shocked with her own thoughts on that but let it be for the moment as she just cleared her throat* "And it sounds like a nice secret for the name Vy and I will think of something for you I'm sure, just might take me some time to do is all." *She would smile as she would start trying to think of something, maybe it would be nothing with her name now but something just unique?*

*She would be more than happy with just the little house they had, a warm bath actually sounded really nice. It been some time since she'd gotten cleaned up anyways so something like that was actually nice.* "No a bedroom and bathroom is all we need I'm not picky and well I'm more than ready to have a bath. I don't exactly remember the last time I had a warm one or having a warm bed that I actually felt safe in."

*Vy would stop as she did think about it, it sounded kind of sad but it's not how she meant it to sound. She'd just chuckle as she rubbed the back of her neck* "Uh actually ignore what I was saying before that was uh... Not the best sounding"
Adam
*"I'll always take you as you are. You're beautiful and you're fun and you're just amazing, not to mention friendly!" She says brightly, but then her smile grows as her nickname is approved. "Good! I'm glad we've came up with a super sevret name for you" She says brightly, but then smirks and shakes her head as it's mentioned that it will take time for Vy to come up for with one for Thme. "Hmm, alright, I will give you some time to find a super secret name for me, don't worry" 

The next comment from Vy makes Thyme tilt her head in surprise, even more so as Vy asks it be ignored. But much in the fashion of Thyme, she isn't one to really ignore anything, and instead gives Vy's hand a light but reasurring squeeze. "Don't worry. You are perfectly safe here. No one can enter the magical tower because it's magical, and I've got my bear outside as well, we will be completely fine. Now let's get you that bath you wanted" She says as she leads Vy from the bedroom to the bathroom 

The bathroom is equally big, perhaps even more so. As the spell details, with toilets, large baths and a sauna. A magical braasier is lit and giving off heat as well as incense. Leading Vy forward, Thyme moves to one of the large baths and turns on the taps so water begins to pour out and fill the tub. "How warm do you want it? And do you want it filled with soap and perfume?"*
Alan
"I'm glad your willing to since so many just... Don't seem to want to see how someone is before painting them in one light or the other. Maybe it's just my bad luck that it happened like that... I don't really know but I'm glad to get someone as caring as you are on my side and well getting to know. It makes me happy and feel safe for the first time in a long time even if I have a lot of well bad past with me." *Vy couldn't help but smile as well, it was hard not to feel happy with someone who just seemed happy a lot.* "Don't worry I will come up with something just will take a bit."

"It's... Not about being safe exactly... It's more so that I just... I'm I guess embarrassed that I... Haven't had one in a long time and that I'm sure having one now the water will get pretty dirty because of that... Not to mention well... The whole water thing... Most places I had one they have too deep of water for well my comfort without... Getting freaked out, which I know sounds beyond stupid because it's a bath and not a river or lake..." *Vy would look away as she rubbed the arm Thyme was holding hands with feeling embarrassed that she even had a fear of small water like that.*

*Vy wouldn't show it but she was nervous, water still scared her in such a big way because of the accident. She knew she shouldn't but some traumas were harder to deal with than others.* "Uh... I kind of like it on the warmer side since it well... Isn't like a river would be than. And just soap is okay, I don't think perfume is needed since we will still be traveling eventually. We can more do something like that if needed for a show or uh an outing in a city?"
Adam
*"Maybe it has been bad luck... But we will have good luck now and we will get rick too! Cause we will preform and travel and not even need to buy accomadation and stuff, so I think our luck is going to change for the better. Especially since we look out for each other. I'm really excited about going to a bigger town or a city with you, cause then we can explore new things and have fun doing it!" 

Thyme frowns a little at this, tilting her head to the side at the mention of how long it has been since Vy has had a wash and how dirty it will make the water. But she does seem more concerned about the fear or water. "Well, first off- that's kinda what the water is meant to do; get dirty. So it's nothing to worry about, and since we will be using this place from now of- it will be a regular thing. So don't feel embarrassed at all, its what its made for!" 

She turns the hot tap a little more hot so the water will be a lot warmer, but not to the point of too hot. "The water is just in the tub to your right, you can put your hand in to feel it. She takes a small breath before asking. "I can see your worried. Do you want me to stay with you and help you get in and out? I also know the "Create and Destroy Water" Spell, so if it gets too much I can instantly take the water away. Or I could stand outside and you can call for me if you need help? It's completely fine whatever you choose; I just want you safe and happy." She says in her soft, but at the same time, firm voice. The one she uses when she is leading Vy through crowds or telling where things for Vy due to her lack of sight*
Alan
"Your right, it's going to get better now with the both of us. I just a bit I guess nervous with it all yet, but yes it will be. We will go to so many new places and get to try all types of foods and other new things and just have fun while we do it. Even though I don't quite know yet what all those things might even be."

"I know it's what water is meant for but it stills kind of... Well embarrassing when I try and think of how long it's been. My skins dark sure but I'm sure there is also a lot of dust on it, my clothes sure have a lot on them at least. But thank you, for being encouraging, and yeah that will help getting one more regular. You make everything seem so simple at times, it's quite amazing actually."

*Vy would start to feel a bit better as she would listen to Thyme, her new friend really was caring and willing to help her through the struggles she might have. She'd test the water temperature as it did feel nice, though she would be a bit embarrassed with actually wanting Thyme to stay.* "Uh... I can't lie... I rather you stay but you don't have to, I can take one alone... I don't think I should have a problem with the water as much. I just... Sometimes it's kind of... Triggering for me even though I know it's safe" *Vy really had never told anyone else before how she was with water, why she trusted Thyme so easily was hard to understand herself. Usually she just got through it alone even if it causes some panic*
Adam
*"Ohh I didn't even think about all the new foods, and the different drinks and the spices and stuff... I wonder where the cloest city from here is... We should probably find that out tomorrow and head there!" She says, her voice more excited and happy at this. Though she does snort lightly and roll her eyes. "Well of course your skin will have dust on it, everyone's does, that's what dust is, dead skin! But thank you for saying I make things simple, I think that is a compliment..." She says with a soft giggle 

Though of course when they get onto the topic, Thyme's voice returns to her serious, protective and caring one. "If you prefer me to stay then I will. We can go through this together, and maybe if we do this every day with the regular baths, we can build up a tolerance for you and to make it so you are less afraid of the water. But of course I'll stay and make sure you are safe and comfortable, you don't need to worry" She says with a calm and collected voice, adding a fairly large amount of soap into the water. "Do you need help getting in and out? Or will I just watch to make sure you're okay? I don't want to cross any lines..."*
Alan
*Vynixi would giggle as she was excited to show all of that to Thyme, they all will be fun to see and explore* "There really is a lot that we are going to see and find, some might not be as good but it is all will be so fun to explore and figure out what we like." *It really was a lot of fun just thinking about the idea, hopefully it would stay fun as well.*

"Well yes, that is kind of true bit it still is kind of strange to think about. I mean not something that's just talked about regularly but am meaning it as a compliment. You make this seem simple and it's comforting to well hear someone make it that way." *Vy would smile as she tried to say reassure Thyme that she was meaning it*

"I do... It just makes me feel well less nervous being with someone when having to deal with water. And well you might be right, doing it regularly might help me get over some of that fear of water. It's quite... Strange to have a fear of something so basic but I do" *Vy would sigh as she would rub her neck* "I'm okay, I don't need help getting in and out, least I shouldn't? But I suppose will find out when it comes to getting out if it's slick or not. And you won't be crossing any lines with me okay? I done a lot and well... I just feel completely comfortable around you... Uh also could you look at something on my back shoulder? I have a tattoo there but it doesn't feel very comfortable, in fact it hurts and I'm sure there is something draining from it."
Adam
*"Well I do like fish... But I've heard some foods are spicy? I've not really had that... So we should try that! I mean, I know what spices are but we don't have many of them in the forest, just like herbs and stuff so... That will be fun!" 

"Oh, well thank you for the compliment! And I'm not sure if **I** Have dust to be honest. Cause my skin is like a blend of elf skin and wood, so maybe sawdust? Ew that would be weird... But I get dirty like everyone else so it's okay! I'll need one after you so it can become our nightly routine and we can get used to it and we will overcome your fear of water together!" 

Thyme nods slowly in understanding, before being verbal with her thoughts since Vy wouldn't be able to see the non-verbal communication. "Okay, thank you. Obviously since we are not like... Together together, you'll have boundries on things and places and erm... Erm..." She says, before coughing lightly. Was it always this hot in here? "Well, I just mean you can always tell me if something is too much or not to do this or avoid things." She says, finally finding the right words 

Though as Vy mentions about this tattoo, Thyme tilts her head to the side "Of course, let me see" She says as she moves around to Vy's back, giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze, doing that whenever she wants to let Vy know where she is, it's sort of become a habit at this point. She isn't exactly sure what Vy means by a draining tattoo, but she looks anyway, wondering what she will find...*
Alan
"Well I would be happy to try spicy food with you. I know there is definitely a lot of different levels so we can start out mild and go to the more spicy if needed." *Vy would nod as she can understand the lack of such things in the forest, it would be a surprise if you did find one's in the forest.* "That would be a bit surprise for sure if we did find spicy ingredients in the forest."

*Vy couldn't help but giggle at the thought of sawdust instead of dust for her but Vy also didn't find her skin to be anything strange really* "Well I'm sure its just dust as well but that would be interesting if it was something different, but no need to worry about that. And that's fine as well, I will make sure not to take too long than so you can have your own."

*Vy would tilt her head as she listened to Thyme stumble over her words a bit.* "Together together?...Oh you mean like a couple?" *Vy couldn't help but blush a bit at even thinking about something like that* "Oh you are okay, I really... Uh know what I'm doing with that as I really lost my lines during the work I did for a while. But don't worry I will tell you if there is anything okay? You don't need to worry about me not saying."

*Vy would nod as she let the shoulder of her top down to show the tattoo, there was a rose tattoo there but it didn't look so good. It was not good as they area was red and puffy, there seemed to be some puss leaking from it. It wasn't done very well and it seemed to be trying to cover something else but it was not done by anyone that actually was good at doing any tattoos it seemed.*
Adam
*"Oh it isn't just spicy but a range of spicy huh? Well that complicates things, but at the same time makes things more exciting since we get to try a range. I wonder what we like like, cause maybe you can handle more spicier stuff than me or the other way around! It certainly won't be stew from a small tavern once we are in the city. We can get spicy food!" She says with a laugh 

"Well, I have blood but my veins are green and not blue, because they are like plants, and I'm pretty sure I have sap as well... But its mostly blood, I think I'm mostly the same as everyone else but kist a little different. Hopefully we don't need to find out! Unless you were thinking I could be used in a lumber mill... So don't get any ideas!" She says with another laufg

"Well... I meant a couple yeah. Cause you know... That's the sort of thing they do, so I've heard. But we are doing it to keep you safe, so it's okay!" She says brightly, but she seems now more focused on this wound that seems to be on Vy's back. Taking no notice of the bare skin at all, she seems pretty concerned at the bad tattoo that is obviously affected. "It looks to be infected... And badly too. I can heal this up in a moment however, though I need to touch it, is that okay?"*
Alan
"Well there are different plants and spices that make things more or less spicy in foods. I would make one myself for you but I'm afraid I'm a pretty bad cook and so it's best to just wait to the city to try. And yeah we will see how each of us like the different types. Though I will say that I do like my honey more than spice usually. But that also has a pretty nice mix to it if you do both." *She would smile at Thyme being so excited for trying spicy foods, hopefully they will find some good places for it along the way.*

"Don't worry I would never use you for anything like that. That would be just plain rude to do that to anyone and I rather just stick with what we have." *Vy would chuckle a bit as well as it was kind of funny to think about*

"Well your guess would be as good as mine on any of that. I have yet to do anything couple related so that honestly would be well a new experience for me." *Vy would shrug as she would run her hand through the bath water slowly, it smelled nice really* "I kind of expected it to be just because of well how it was feeling." *Something she hadn't really wanted but guessed would happen at a shady place* "That's fine, I'm not that sensitive to someone touching me, you don't have to worry about that Thyme"
Adam
*"Well, you will need to learn to cook, if I can make food out of thin air it's only fair you make an effort to cook too!" She says with a laugh, clearly joking as she would never expect Vy to do such a thing, but she does like the jest they hace going on. "Ahh so you have a sweet tooth? I suppose that is only fair, I do like sweet things. But if I've never had spicy stuff how would I know which I would prefer? Maybe we've just not found the right spicy stuff for you too!" 

"Well that makes two of us, but I don't that is an experience we are going to have tonight, since we're not a couple and I'm here to make sure you're safe and to help you. Not for... Other reasons. Not that you're not attractive, it's just well. You're a girl too and erm... Well, we have plans for the future" She says "Not that those plans involve that! Just erm... Well..." She says, completely becomming a flustered dolt. 

It's a good thing that she has this wound to take care of. Not that it's good Vy has it, but it gives Thyme an excuse to stop talking and making a mess of things. Indeed she places a hand on the infected tattoo, obviously the spells she is about to cast requires touch. Though with her other hand she does make movements of the spell, and her words also are in a different language as she casts the spell. If fact, she casts too. She isn't an expert in this field, especially with infections, so she isn't sure what to do. 

First she casts "Cure wounds" A spell that will heal most minor injuries, this would likely heal the skin and close any open wound and sore that Vy has, dealing with the problem. Though Thyme wants to be on the safe side. So after this, she directly casts "Cure poison and disease", which would likely take away the infection as well. If Vy felt any drunkeness or affect from the alcohol they drank earlier- this would also be cured too as alcohol is a poison. Though they didn't drink much so she may not feel this at all*
Alan
"I can cook just not well. You will have lots of burnt things if you let me cook. It's better to use the money for food than ingredients when it comes to my cooking. Yes, I do have a bit of one. I had one for fresh honey comb since it's what sweets we got at the orphanage I was raised at. They are good for honey there at least just not much else."

*Vy couldn't help but giggle at how yet again Thyme would stumble when it came to talking about a relationship* "Thyme, you don't need to worry so much about possibly saying anything wrong with me okay? And there isn't anything wrong with liking another girl, and there is nothing wrong with taking things slow or going quickly. People move at the paces they think are best for them. And I'm sure your very attractive yourself once I am able to see you, but that will no doubt be a bit." 

*Vy didn't want Thyme to feel as if she wasn't able to express how she might be feeling. Though Vy would wonder if the succubus part of her was playing some role in any of the feeling as they had in the past. She would just have to hope it wasn't the case and they just stayed close*

"That is feeling better, thank you for helping me with that. I know it wasn't exactly getting better after it been feeling like that for a couple of weeks. We will need some new clothes soon as well. I'm sure that wasn't helping out my clothes any or the wear I simple have for them... Well guess it's time we get our baths done so we can rest than?"
Adam
*"Hmmm... Maybe I could cook then! I mean I can make a kitchen room here, we should save up magical energy so I can make a proper house in the evening and then I could cook! Ingredients are cheaper than a full meal right? And I already know a lot of things that would be needed in a kitchen like fires and cooking. I can make stews and stuff so I could give it a try!" She says brightly. Wondering if that's a good idea or not but proud she can offer something to both of them. "And honey... I can gather loads of that. I just need to ask the bees if they are okay with it but I'm sure they will give us some if I ask nicely!"

Though Thyme is **Such** A flustered dolt at the relationship conversion. "There isn't...? Oh, I thought it was wrong. Which is why I wasn't sure... Because you're so pretty... Not that I want to you know, rush things, or we don't even need to go to that, you know, cause you haven't seen me and I don't even know how relationships work! So yeah..." For a moment she moves over to the sink and splashes her face with cold water. Get a grip of yourself Thyme!

She returns quickly however, not wanting Vy to be alone near water for too long at all, giving her shoulder a squeeze when she returns but looking over the tattoo, which is still there, but it doesn't seem infected anymore. "That sounds like a good idea. The bath is directly to your right. If you need a hand with anything just let me know.

With her other hand she creates another spell, or rather, she casts one. Another low level spell "Unseen servant." After this, she strips off her own clothes, not embarrassed as Vy cannot see. Though she would wait until Vy does the same before giving the command to her unseen servant. "Take these and wash and dry them, please". Why she would say please to a literal spell that isn't even alive... But I guess Thyme is polite like that*
Alan
"Well don't worry too much about getting any cooking done for now. We can both learn to cook along the way and well figure out least one meal we can make I'm sure. We can always ask someone how to cook as well for that. Well we don't need honey all the time, but some now and again would be nice, since it does taste good."

"No no, there is nothing that says no to such a relationship. But yes there is no rush in anything and your always welcome to express how you might be feeling. I know there is pretty a lot that is kind if new for both of us. Relationships are pretty much a friend with a bit more to it but we can talk about that all later." *Vy would smile as she was trying to just help out with Thyme feeling flustered about such a small thing.*

*Vy would smile and nod as she would strip her own clothes to let this little servant wash and dry their clothes? After she would slowly make her way into the bath. She would relax a bit with the water feeling warm as it did feel nice especially after dancing. Helps the muscles relax a bit after just a big performance* "You can make a servant? That's pretty impressive that you know a spell like that."
Adam
*"Hmm, that's a good idea, and I'm sure there will be cook books and stuff, that would be another thing we could learn and master together, it will be another adventure for us to overcome!" She says brightly. "And don't worry. Tomorrow before we head out I will get you some honey for the road before we leave the forest behind. Maybe I could gather some to sell as well as other items from the forest to sell when we reach our next destination"

"Well... If I was to express how I feel it would be that you're very pretty, and I really like being around you and how you make me feel. But you are right, we can talk about all that stuff later. It's more important that we stay comfortable and safe and get to where we are going!" She says, it seems the way that Vy has worded such things has made Thyme a lot less flustered, which is certainly a good thing

As Vy strips off and gets in the warm water filled with soap, Thyme hands the clothes to her unseen servant before turning back to Vy. Though she does so not in a lewd way. Indeed she barely sees Vy's body at all, she is back to her protective way of making sure that Vy is alright and safe. "Yeah! It's a minor spell, the servent isn't alive, it isn't even a spirit or anything. It's just like... A manifistation of the spell. It can preform very basic tasks but nothing complicated. So like cleaning stuff is okay, I don't think it can get anymore complicated"*
