Brenda
*She slowly got up, ignoring the slight pain she felt on her back and shook the dirt away from her pants, wich now where a muddy mess and probably the nightmare of anyone who knew how to wash clothes.*

"I just don't like staying in inn's, and im kinda used to sleeping outside so I thought I'd have a nice walk trough the city and then go hunt some deers in a forest or something"

*She didn't really have the need to go and hunt because of the gigant boar she caught the day before, but what else was she supposed to do?*
Larry
"You sleep outside too..? Are you also a slave? Did you run away too?"

*He turned his attention to her, standing up. He didn't want to seem threatening, which he probably didn't, but he made sure he slouched a little, just in case. He couldn't smell anything off her. How come she had no scent? What was she? He blinked, not sure what to say. Should he accept her offer? Where would they even go if she also stayed outside? Maybe she could help lead him to a place of safety. Or even dinner...*
Brenda
"Yeah, I like to sleep outside when I can, no im not a slave but I hate people who enslave other beings"

*This conversation was turning out to be very interesting, this was not the first time she had an encounter with an escaped slave and she knew they always had quite the story to tell, after all she ran away from home to learn about other perspectives.*
Larry
"You do? So... You don't mind helping me? I-I will work for you to repay, I promise!"

*He offered quickly, digging through his satchel. He had gold, would she want that? Was she going to be able to help him? Or was she in his position also? The Orc bit his lip, unsure what to say. He couldn't offer her much besides gold and service. What if she wanted some sort of relic, or she wanted his service forever? He couldn't stop the swirling of doubts and fears that consumed him, his milky eyes staring unblinking. Now that she was much closer, he did catch her scent. But he couldn't tell what she was. Just... A person. So far.*
Brenda
"No worries, you don't need to pay me and I don't need anyone to work for me, consider this a little help from a kind stranger"

*She said as she reached her backpack and took a loaf of bread and gave it to him.
She was kind of surprised by the reaction as he kind of trusted her inmediatly, this didn't happen so often because of her being a high elve. And her race was famous for their creativr ways of torturing and experimenting on everything that moves, even their own kind*
Larry
*The bread his him in the face, and he blinked, carefully stretching his hand out, searching until he touched it. He took a tentative sniff, his face confused.*

"This is... Bread? Did you not need it anymore?"

*Unused to being given anything for free, Tokki had no clue what to do with it, wondering if she needed help carrying things. That was probably it. And he didn't have any racial discrimination against her, because he couldn't see her nor did he know what she was. She could have been a talking watermelon and he wouldn't have known.*
Brenda
"Yeah, its bread and I have like 3 more pounds of it in my backpack so go on and tell me if you want some more"

*Renae had cuestioned her decision when she bought thatmany bread since she was always alone and didn't need that many food since she could hunt for it, but at least it came in handy now. 
She wondered if she should offer him to go to an inn to pass the night, after all the cat calls weren't so bad, and if a soldier was too loud she could always throw a knife for inrimidation*
Larry
*He stood up fully, taking a small bite. The bread crunched, his face pinkening as he tried not to make a scene. He gingerly set it in his satchel for now. He was hungry yes, but he was also Self conscious. He'd eat later.*

"Thank you for helping me... Uhm... You. What is your name Ma'am?"

*He asked, realizing he'd never done that. Or if he had, he'd completely forgotten. Where were they going to go? Tokki felt excitement bubbling up, his eyes wide with new life. Maybe he had finally found someone who could help him get settled!!*
Brenda
"You are welcome, and im renae soranus at your service"

*She said as she reverenced jokingly as she always did when prensenting, and then with a playful tone she asked:*

"May I know your name good sir?"

*She decided she could bear the soldiers harassing heras long as she could be of help for once instead of sitting in weird places*
Larry
*He smiled softly, listening to her name. Renae. It was a very pretty name, usually one belonging to those of higher standards where he came from. He turned his attention back to her, his large tusks showing in his grin.*

"Renae. A good name. I am Tukkotik Qvist, but you can call me Tokki."

*He explained, feeling more relaxed now. He had that issue, he was awfully trusting. But it was just in his nature, he couldn't help it much. He was all around a friendly man, so it wasn't completely bad either.*
Brenda
"Now that we know eachothers names would you like to come with me to search for somewhere to sleep? Perhaps we can catch a pair of rooms in a motel or something" 

*She said as she briefly looked around to see if there was one near, but there only where a few houses and a small shop, then she leaned over to offer him a hand, and concentrating on not slipping in the floor again.*
Larry
*He nodded, not noticing her hand, but his step forward caused him to walk into it. He reached forward, touching her small hand gently for a moment before grasping it.*

"Oh, thank you! I hadn't known where to go."

*He mumbled shyly, hoping he wasn't too much a burden already. He'd definitely find a way to repay her for her kindness to him. He smiled, continuing on with her to whatever destination she had planned. He just hoped he hadn't placed his trust in the wrong person.*
Brenda
*As she heard this she helped him get up and went looking for somewhere to stay, perhaps the place she saw the other day could serve, and it looked clean enough to not be infested by ticks and she had heard that they had really good beer*
"Lets go then, I think I know a place. Im glad that I can help"
Larry
"I'll find out how to repay you Renae, I promise. Is where we are going... Safe?"

*He rose an eyebrow, letting himself be led along. It was obvious to her now that Tokki was blind. Utterly so, his world was just void. However, he didn't seem to mind it, he just needed a little help from time to time.*

"What is this city called?"
Brenda
"Yeah, I don't think there's anything too dangerous in an inn apart from the awful smell and the drunk soldiers, and I wouldn't be taking you there if it wasn't safe, since im sleeping in there too"

*Renae was locking her eyes on the establishment she was going to, as they approached it they could hear the slight sound of music coming through the walls and the faint smell of beer and alcohol wich she was very familiarized with*

"I haven't been here for too long but I think the city is called Su-imbu-lime.
Oof that was more difficult to pronounce than I thought, try to say that quick five times haha"
Larry
"...It's called Su... Suimbelime. Got it. Thank you again Mis-Erm, Renae."

*Tokki's nose scrunched up as the scent of alcohol hit them. He was used to the smell, but he hated it still. It brought back too many memories. He listened to the sounds, the gentle music feeling weird. It was like this entire place reeked of evil intent. He shuddered, staying slightly closer, just in case. He was no combat help, but he could at least distract if he needed to.*

"Are you sure it's safe...?"
Brenda
"Well this kind of places don't usually give a good vibe, but when you pass the bar and get to the rooms is totally safe, also this guys are so drunk they can't even hurt a faly if they wanted to, mainly because they would miss"

*Renae said as she approached the door, and opened it carefully before entering. The sound inmediatly surrounded the two of them, and as they walked she heard the drunkens calling her names like 'baby' or 'hot stuff', but she actively ignored them, sometimes giving a fierce glare to some of them. And although they where a lot there was also decent people who looked disgusted at the behaviour of their friends. 
When they finally got to the counter Renae called to the innkeeper, who came inmediatly*

"Oi you got some rooms? I kinda wanna get some sleep so get me two of the most futher away from the main bar"

*Then she slipped a gold coin in the counter and saw the eyes of the innkeeper glow in greed*
Larry
*Tokki followed after her, listening to the cat calls. That was nothing new. His teeth flashed as he gave the men a nasty growl, his long tusks extended outward slightly. He hated such behavior. His facial expression had changed from shy and almost childlike to one of hostility, almost animalistic. He turned back towards her as he heard her voice, quickly following after her. He'd deal with the men later, if he needed to. He leaned over her shoulder, inquisitively sniffing the innkeeper. Not that it was too obvious, but he had a strange way of learning without sight. He definitely didn't like how they smelled. He moved back, keeping his hearing on high alert.*

"Do you need money Renae?"

*He asked, hearing a coin clink on the counter. Just one? Maybe she was expecting him to pay too. He fumbled with his satchel, trying to find the meager coins he had left.*
Brenda
"Oh no, you don't have to pay Tokki, the coin that I just put on the counter was a golden coin, so no worries"

*She said as she quickly recieved the room keys from the inkeeper, who had inmediatly taken the coin, and quickly put it into a special little chest he had hidden somewhere*

"Let's go before any of this rats notice that it was a gold coin, I don't wanna deal with 80 gold diggers today"

*Then she headed to the west wing of the place, alway making sure to not leave Tokki behind*
Larry
*He nodded, hurrying after her by keeping a firm grasp on her hand. Geez she was fast. He wasn't sure what she meant by gold diggers, but he assumed that was a bad thing. Was someone going to try and steal from them? He hoped not, he'd rather not be angry again.*

"Alright. I'll sleep on the floor, you can have the bed. I won't be long, I'm sure I'll be okay in the morning. Thank you for helping me."
Brenda
"Umm but you see, there's two rooms because I won't let you sleep in the floor. Just make sure to shake the blankets a little bit before going to sleep, just so the ticks and the lice won't eat you alive"

*She replied as she handed him the keys slowly, and showed him his room. She had been in a bit of a similar situation before and she really appreciated the person who helped her, so she decided to do the same for someone else and also this was a very entretaining to do, maybe she would start helping more people in the street when she was bored*
Larry
*His heart skipped a beat. What?!? Lice and ticks?! EWWW!! Tokki couldn't help but gag a little as he nodded.*

"Uhm... At that rate I might prefer the outside. But thank you very much for everything Renae. I will find a way to repay you, I swear it. I'm not taking no for an answer."

*He informed her, his tone suggesting that he wasn't going to debate her on this. He wobbled his way into the room, sitting on the floor. He had no idea what to say or do now. He was pretty awkward.*
Brenda
*Renae looked with a smile on her face, it probaly was her tendency to exaggerate things when talking that creeped Tokki out, but she couldn't help but to giggle a bit when she saw the disgust in his face when she mentioned the little parasites*

"Im just kidding, although if you don't like ticks then I think floor isn't quite the best option for you"
Larry
*He glanced towards her direction, his frown showing. What was he supposed to do? Float? He grimaced as he stood up again, fumbling until he found a chair and sat down on that instead, pulling his legs up. He was much larger than the small chair though, so it was a comical sight to see that he was making the chair creak and groan.*

"Ugh. Nasty... Why is it so gross here than? Don't they clean it? I thought people come here for a good night's sleep. Inns aren't supposed to be gross. Right?"
Brenda
"Well its still better than sleeping in the street wich is also full of em' and they get off you with a was or two, but yeah it's kind of a hygiene crime, although cleaning the rooms every single time someone leaves seems like an imposible job since this place is so densly populated"

*She looked around and behind her, and thought that the place was still cleaner than a lot of inns she had been before, also ticks and lice where a common thing in the floor and specially in the forests, but she didn't want to freak him out even more so she kept quiet about that*
Larry
*His mouth wavered a little in disgust, but he managed to keep himself together, nodding his head and closing his eyes. He shouldn't seem ungrateful, even if his hatred of bugs was very grand. He ignored his hunger, not wishing to eat. He had too much on his mind.*

"If I may ask, what are you? I know you're a girl, but that's all I know."

*He explained, his tone soft. He didn't want to make anything sound racist, but he was truly curious.*
Brenda
*She was afraid of telling him her race, since she knew people would either freak out or just instantly aske her if she was royalty, wich was not all bad but she had enough people ask her if she knew this or that duke.
After thinkingfor a while she decided to trust her instinct and tell him the trust, so she quietly said*

"I am umm... A high elf"

*She looked at the ground and quickly added:*

"But im not royalty, im a medium class elf"
Larry
*Tokki didn't react, at least not how she was probably expecting him to. He blinked, looking puzzled. He'd heard of Elves. But what was a high Elf?*

"Uhm, what's a high Elf? And thats okay, who cares what class you are? I'm a Mogash, at least, that's what people say I am."
Brenda
*Well that was unexpected, now she would have to explain all of her race's war crimes and all, but hey! At least it wasn't instant hate. And honestly she had a lot of stories about victims of her race, and not all where so grim surprisingly*

"Well high elves are like any other elf race but we are all blonde and tall, with pale skin and one heck of an ego, and usually they are royalty. Also a lot of them are very racist and kind of assholes to every single other living being, but don't worry because im a 'peasant' so I had nice education and... Nice friends"

"When she was finishing her explanation wich by the way was really fast she rexalled some grim memories she didn't want to remembered so she slowly stopped talking and for the first time that day she stopped smiling*
Larry
*He listened attentively, but he wasn't that great at picking it all up. He basically got the gist though. He smiled, walking forward and giving her shoulder a soft pat.*

"You shouldn't feel responsible for what others within your race do. You're not them Renae. Don't feel embarrassed on their behalf."

*He explained, giving her a hug. He wasn't the greatest at detecting sadness, but he had definitely felt a drop in the atmosphere when she had stopped talking.*
Brenda
*Renae felt relieved and really appreciated Tokki's words, she had to endure a lot of hate because of how known her race was for killing people and all, so she never stopped to think that it wasn't her fault*

"Well thats a relief, since I usually just get hate fro being an elf and I can't even hide it because of how pointy my ears are"

*She said accepting the hug and smiling again*

"I could swear I have pricked myself with em' sometimes"
Larry
*He beamed, moving back and touching his own ears. They were a little pointy too. He bet her ears annoyed her as much as his huge fangs did. Tokki crossed his arms, trying not to seem flustered. He normally never comforted people, but he found it helped him too.*

"Well, I don't hate you! So there's that if it matters at all. Renae, do you think you are... Uhm, in need of a companion? I haven't anyone else, nor any idea where to go or what to do. Maybe I can help you somehow? I have some skills!"
Brenda
*She smiled and watched the whole act with a smile on her face, then she heard surprised the proposition and thought about it, moved by his words*

"Well, I I have never had a companion before because I travel a lot, but if you are willing to bear all the travel and my insufferable ego then sure! Maybe I can even teach you to hunt for a living"
Larry
*Tokki's entire face brightened up greatly as she agreed. He did however doubt she'd teach him to hunt, but he could certainly fish. He excitedly nibbled his fingers before answering her.*

"Oh! Well, I'm blind. I can't hunt with much. But I know the ocean's very well. I know how to fish! Thank you so much Renae!"

*He gushed, his deep voice sounding like an excited child. He gave her another hug before moving back and sitting on the chair again.*
Brenda
"Well, its your lucky day since hunting is mainly about hearing your prey, and even if you can't use a bow if you're fast enough you can always do the good ol' jump and stab"

*She responded.
Then she inmediatly started planning the next day, since she would have to learn how to teach him in the way because of the lack of expirience. She also planned get some more hunting knives at the market, as well as a fishing rod and some bait*
Larry
"Uhm, okay. I'll trust you on that. You know better obviously. What exactly are we hunting? There were no animals on my island, save birds. Only fish to catch."

*Tokki explained, having never heard a different animal in his life. He had never heard about them either, and he was completely new to the mainland. She had a lot of teaching to do because of his ignorance.*
Brenda
"Well we can hunt boars wich are like pigs but bigger and more aggressive, or sometimes there's deers, they are like horses but they are smaller and have antlers, but the most easier ones are rabbits, these are super fast, but their meat tastes sweeter because they tend to eat plants"
Larry
*He nodded slowly, even though he was completely confused as to what those even were. But that was okay, he knew he'd learn. He leaned back, letting out a gentle sigh.*

"Do you have any family Renae? Or a best friend? What's it like wandering everywhere? Don't you ever want to settle down? Is it hard to be an Elf?"
Brenda
"I had a family but both my parents died of old age, no I don't..., its awesome! You meet lot's of interesting people and get to go on adventures, I have a house I inherited from my parents, but I don't like staying for too long in the same place so I don't go there too often, I mean it's not too hard compared to what others have beared but people often treat me bad and underestimate me and even my own won't take me seriously because im only 18"

*She took a deep breath after responding to the avalanche of questions and looked around the room. That was an old habit of hers so she was often found checking the rooms she was on, and even when there was no one near she always looked behind her back*
Larry
*He listened carefully, feeling bad for her. He'd never known his parents so he couldn't miss them, but losing them after you knew them? That was probably a terrible thing. He gave her a brave smile, his nose twitching a little.*

"Hm. You've have a hard life it would seem. I'm sorry for all that. I wish I knew what to do to help, but I don't know enough. I just want you to know I think you're a good person Renae."
Brenda
"Oh that'svery kind of you but don't stress much about it, I don't really have the hardest life out there and im kind of grateful for what I have. I even have a clear goal, and that's more than enough"

*Renae was happy about finally being able to share a bit about her past, but she changed the theme of the conversation before it went too emotional*

"So anyways tell me a bit about yourself, after all we've only been talking about me all this time, but I want to know you better, what do you like the most? What do you do for entertainment? Is there any food you dislike? Do you have any friends?"
Larry
*Tokki's face fell slightly, just a tiny bit. Uhm, he had a terrible life. What exactly could he tell her? He thought for awhile before answering her, slowly.*

"Well... Uhm. I never did anything for fun. I had a friend, but I don't know where she is or what happened to her. And I don't like most meats."

*He explained vaguely, trying not to go into the conversation too deep. He had a long history, and he didn't feel much like sharing it all with a somewhat stranger still.*
Brenda
*Renae understood that he didn't want to share his story, and she wouldn't froce him to do so. She then changed the conversation topic to something more 'present friendly', she didn't want to fall in awkwardness after all*

"Hey, by the way do you like plants and stuff? I've been trying to find someone who shares my interest on them, but people often rely on magic so medicinal herbs aren't the thing right now soo..."
