*Yae Kim handed the caravan driver a single piece of gold and hopped on to solid ground. He had connections to discreet and fast drivers across the countries, though that didn't mean they didn't expect the usual rate. It had been a few days travel from the inn where he met Olive and Sofia, and he arrived at yet another inn. He stretched and enjoyed the warm morning sun, less paranoid in the daytime. Yae Kim made his way inside, lightly scratching at his black and white face paint.*
Cora
*Just as he was heading in, a tall girl, about 6'1", was leaving. Her white hair a mess and her spear in her hand, her accidental bump didn't have much heft to it, but it certainly made things awkward for them in the doorway.* "Oh, gods!" *Lilliane immediately spoke up at their chests bumping.* "I'm sorry!"

*The morning hadn't been too pleasant for her, but it also wasn't bad... Yet.*
Amie
*Yae Kim immediately felt dumb for dropping his usual twitchy guard. The air macen took a step back into the door jamb, unintentionally still blocking the door.* "No, no, you're good, should watch where I'm going..." *He quickly sized up the girl, wary of some kind of pickpocketing or assassination or... Yae Kim's paranoid mind could go on. However, he didn't sense any ill intent from the stranger, just genuine awkwardness. She was almost as tall as he was, and Yae Kim was quite lanky.* "Any reason for the hurry?" *He meant more if there was a fire or something, but it also seemed conversational.*
Cora
*She shook her head, taking a step back and gesturing for Yae to enter before she left.* "No, no, I should have paid more attention... And uhh, I was just trying to get back to an actual guild location before tomorrow. Well, not get back to one... But Y'know what I meant, right?"
Amie
*Yae Kim took a long step inwards, clearing the doorway.* "I think I follow. Which guild?" *There was currently only one of real prominence currently, though he'd never visited it. Well, at least not intentionally. He smiled lightly at the girl's mannerisms, glad he wasn't the most anxious seeming one for once.*
Cora
"The Sunlight guild, or whatever it was called." *She sighs.* "It's new, and I definitely need a new thing to get high up in relatively quickly."

*She notices the doorway was now clear, but doesn't go. Instead, she closes the door.* "Who might you be, good sir?"
Amie
*Yae Kim pushes back the hood of his robes, fully revealing his ritually painted face. He extended a hand towards the girl, revealing tattoos that appeared to just be abstract shapes.* "I'm Yae Kim Ool, though people find it convenient to shorten it to Yae or Yae Kim. And your name?" *The willowy man's voice had started to display a charisma that didn't reflect in any of his movements.*
Cora
"Lilliane." *She took his hand, shaking it. Her grip was definitely strong, unexpected from the lithe, white-clothed girl.* "It's a pleasure to meet you, Yae." *She smiles at him, and bows slightly out of respect.* "Those are nice tattoos. Do they mean anything? Or are they just for decoration?"
Amie
"Pretty name. They're primarily meant to signify identity traits, nearly all related to my upbringing. The do have meaning, if only to select people." *Yae Kim released her and looked into the inn, scratching his face once again.* "Nice inn? Or should I keep looking?" *He had not been in Salvainia for a while, and was glad to meet someone so friendly. Yae Kim had been to the inn before, but only once years ago.*
Cora
"It's pretty alright." *She shrugs, taking a closer look at his face before moving down to his tattoos.* "Cheap, definitely. The rooms are great for the cost. Beyond that, there isn't much to say about to place, certainly not something to write home about." 

*Satisfied with her inspection, she goes back to looking him in the eyes.* "So, what brings you around here?"
Amie
*Lilliane would probably notice that his features were oddly difficult to ascertain. The paint mixed with some type of faint magic made his features remarkably hard to remember. Even Yae Kim's eyes seemed to be oddly caught between colors.* "Glad to see it hasn't changed then. I just came through for more work. I translate, both vocally and written word." *Getting conscious of the fact they were standing before the door, Yae Kim pointed outward.* "Want to talk outside? I prefer to have my dog with me when I can."
Cora
"Dog?" *She cocks her head slightly, but Lilliane gestures to the door. She hadn't ever seen a dog, considering she grew up in the equivalent of the boonies.* "I... Don't know what that is, to be entirely honest. Is that just your slang word to avoid saying slave, what is a dog?"
Amie
*Yae Kim blinked in surprise, this being the first time he was asked if he had a slave. Well, not exactly, but still.* "Oh, no, I mean a... Well, a dog. A canine. I'll just show you." *Yae Kim pushed open the door and stepped out onto whatever curb there was outside the building before the road. He gave a loud whistle, which was accompanied almost immediately with a loud bark. A bright, light purple form appeared next to him, which formed into the shape of a dog within seconds. It fully formed, looking exactly like any normal bullmastiff, if a bit larger than normal. It appeared docile and sat beside Yae Kim, panting slightly.* "Alexander, meet Lilliane. She's a friend." *As he said this, he used his hand to command the dog to stay, waiting for Lilliane's reaction before letting him move towards her.*
Cora
*Lilliane frowned, walking up to it and crouching down to look at the dog.* "This is... A dog...?" *She brought a hand out to pet it, clearly interested in what it actually felt like.* "It's... Small..."

*After a few pets she got back up, wiping her hand against her pants.* "And this thing willfully accompanies you everywhere you go?"
Amie
*Alexander leaned forward to sniff Lilliane's hand as she pet him, allowing her to pet him as she wished. His short coat was likely soft to the touch, depending on what Lilliane considered soft. Yae Kim quietly watched as she interacted, pleased she didn't find it frightening or anything.* "It's actually big for its breed... And it's technically a bullmastiff, though all animals like it are just called dogs." *Yae Kim looked down to Alexander, frowning slightly.* "Well, I like to think he follows me willingly. Alex, you're free to go! Do whatever you like!" *Alexander simply looked up to Yae Kim, tilting his head slightly in confusion. Yae Kim looked back to Lilliane.* "Seems so."
Cora
"Huh. Odd." *She shrugs, keeping the dog in the corner of her eye as she turned back to look Yae in the eyes.* "So, anyway.. What are you off to go? Some scribing? Or is today your off day and you're just looking to max and relax?"
Amie
"Oh, I was going to scare up some old contacts and see if they had any work for me. I was going to get some breakfast, set up a room, and start trying to find out where they are these days." *Yae Kim idly scratched Alexander's head as he spoke. He was much more calm around his dog, and Lilliane's demeanor helped.* "I imagine you'll be off to New Sunlight now?"
Cora
"Maybe." *She, again, shrugs.* "It's definitely a possibility. Or, if you wouldn't mind, I could just chill with y..." *She stops herself, sighing as she shakes her head, starting to walk off.* "Nah, I'll see you around. Have a good one, don't end up dead."

{{going to sleep, will respond when I wake up
Amie
*Yae Kim could tell she was going to offer to stick around, but seemed either hesitant or unsure.* "Well, if you'd like to join, I'll mostly be comparing notes in the main area and then going around town in hopes of finding any additional information. If you'll go ahead to New Sunlight, let me know if they need anything translated. " *Yae Kim gave a smile and waited patiently for Lilliane's decision. The company would be nice, as he felt he could trust her, but he understood that she might have business to attend to.*
Cora
*She pauses for a moment. Her voice was hesitant, as if she actually wasn't sure about this herself.* "...You're absolutely fine with me sticking around?"
Amie
"Of course." *Yae Kim ruffled the fur atop Alexander's head, then pointed to the door.* "Alex will stay outside, but we should head back in for now." *He didn't expect to make a friend today, but Yae Kim appreciated any reason to be a little less paranoid.*
Cora
*Lilliane basically did a 180, going from walking directly opposite of the inn to right back inside.* "Well if that's the case..." *As she walked by him, she grabbed his hand, leading him inside.* "It has been far too long since I've really talked with anyone, so let's get chatty."
Amie
*Yae Kim let out a surprised laugh as he was pulled along by Lilliane, going inside with her.* "Well, alright. I never asked, what do you do?" *He would need to go to the front desk, or whatever equivalent there was, in order to set up his room first.*
Cora
"Me? Uhh, nothing." *She lets go of him, looking away from him as her cheeks turn a nice red.* "I know some healing spells, so I was hoping to get into a nice position at the guild because of it..."
Amie
*Yae Kim nodded as he handed 15 silver to the innkeeper, leaving the rest as coverage for other purchases.* "I have heard that they are eager to take on healers, what with their emphasis on protecting people and all." *Lilliane's enthusiasm started to make sense, as many of the healers he had met before seemed similarly spirited.* "Has that always been your source of income, or..?"
Cora
*She shook her head, taking a step back so that he could actually pay the innkeeper in relative peace.* "No, not necessarily. I'm, for lack of a better term, broke. Not in the sense of how much money I have, in the sense that I have zero income. Which is something I was hoping the guild could fix..."
Amie
*Yae Kim nodded, giving the innkeeper a wave of thanks as he collected his room key. He turned towards Lilliane, putting the bag of coins within his robes.* "A guild would be a good place to start, especially New Sunlight. Though I've known many healers make their own way rather successfully, with steep rates." *He looked down a hall towards where his room would be.* "Might be an option for you, depending on your skill set."
Cora
"I would say I'm fairly competent, but I wouldn't ever think of charging people for getting medicine and crap. Unless it's just for a headache or somethin', in which case, yeah I'd probably give them a few or some shit like that." *She sighs, shaking her head.* "I'm pretty good with my spear though. So, y'know, I've also got that going for me."
Amie
"Battle healer, not typically the financial type." *Yae Kim barely spoke above a whisper, more to himself. He began to walk down the hall, unlocking his room. He wasn't sure if Yae Kim would follow, so he raised his voice to speak now.* "Well, all I know is that there is money to be made."
Cora
*Lilliane did in fact follow him. Once he went to unlock his room, she stopped, unsure if she was actually wanted to follow him into his inn room or not.* "There's definitely money, but it's not good money. Not in a moral sense of good, anyway, it probably does rake in a killing."
