*The Elf would smirk back at her witty tongue, drawing his horse into a slow stop. She had a point, inconspicuous clearly wasn't what he was concerning himself with either.*"I don't know what you mean."*He'd say, feigning ignorance towards her.*"Nothing more inconspicuous than a pig riding through town. It's a common occurrence really."*The Elf was clearly jesting with her, drawing himself up so that he sat up more straight on his horse.*"Odd to find an Okamimi in Silnari lands."
Jimmie
*A small, derisive snort was her response, leading her horse to sidle up beside his. Her ears flicked idly as the ocean winds picked up, causing her to shiver uncomfortably. While the sun shone, it was dim against the gathering clouds, the grey blending in with the deep blue of the choppy seas upon the horizon. She'd want to find cover soon...*
"A bizarre accessory, but at least you're aware. As for my being here, I'm simply a traveller. Keeping along the coastline is easiest for the meantime, I'm far more familiar with the sea than inland."
Leroy
*Terrel would study her a bit, soon giving his horse a light tap to continue moving with the idea that she was going to follow while they spoke.*"I'd think boat would be the best way for travel in that case."*He decided to point out, flitting his gaze out towards the open water. The Elf never really considered going to seas himself, but he was sure it was an experience.*"All the sea travel you can ask for out there."
Jimmie
"The open sea is inopportune for mercenary work..."
*She'd return, closing an eye as she watched him a moment longer, urging her horse alongside as she ran a finger across the loaded bolt. While Ikehara had manned ships before, the idea of taking one for a long voyage so early in her journey made her uncomfortable - wondering how unpleasant seawater would be near her ears.*
"And what brings you here, Silnari? Out for a ride before the masquerade?"
*She jested, a light chuckle following as her expression softened.*
Leroy
*At the jest, Terrel would raise a hidden eyebrow.*"No, I'm quite afraid that I'm still looking for it."*He'd say, playing to the idea of him going to a masquerade with his get up when in reality he had never really been to one.*"You see I've had this mask constructed for years in preparation, but I still find myself without invitation to one. I simply don't know why that might be."*His tone came soft despite his normally low voice, deciding to change it in sounding more troubled than he actually was.*"And to think a perfectly good mask to go to waste without an event to show for it."*He'd smile at her, suggesting it was all just a ruse in the good fun of it. Why would he go to a masquerade ball anyways?*
Jimmie
"I wonder, how the patricians of Silnaria spend their time... Mayhaps they *Do* Throw such lavish parties. Though, from the look of you, I doubt you are any sort of nobleman."
*She continued, tapping her chin as she examined him once more. No, he was definitely not dressed like a noble, though he didn't dress raggedly either... She brushed aside her deductions, her stomach protesting such thoughts as it rumbled loudly. Ikehara coughed nervously, hiding her blush as she turned away to hook her crossbow onto it's ring.*
"Do you know much of this town? It seems I've left lunch too late..."
Leroy
*At the comment of him not appearing to be a nobleman, a smirk would form on his face.*"I'll leave that up for debate madam."*He'd say before turning his gaze towards the rest of the seaside town at the mention of her missing lunch. There were probably tons of places where they sold fish and others of the sort, though Terrel never took much interest in it.*"Should be a tavern around here. I've been mostly passing through, but they're typically hard to miss."
