*Melody gradually made her way up a tall grassy slope, her hind legs forcing her over the final rise with a loud huff of air escaping her upon finally making it all the way up. She scanned the landscape, her shoulders slumping as she saw the open fields stretching on for what looked like forever. No, this definitely didn't seem right. It had been days since she had first began traveling out into Mentia to search for her family, though the trip back home was feeling longer and longer with each day spent trying to get back.*"There should be a town somewhere around here..."*She murmured aloud, hope gradually vanishing with each hill she pass over. The sun was bound to set soon, though she was hoping to find some sign of civilization by now. Hopefully the war hadn't driven everyone out.*
Summer
*In the distance she hears a voice calling out gradually getting closer accompanied by the sound of footsteps rushing through the grass occasionally cracking a branch under them* "Heyyy! You there." *The figure looks human but with the features of several animals though still with some cohesion between the creatures. As he gets closer you can see that he's waving with both hands. He finally stops an catches his breath for a quick second, breathing heavily as he's hunched over he looks up again.* "H-hey dude." *He says as heathes from the running.*
Marisa
*Melody's head instantly snapped in the direction of the voice, it having been a while since she's heard anyone else out here. As the centaur's gaze fell upon the figure, her interest peaked for while only for her to realize that it was another Kemonomimi.*"Finally-."*She breathed with a sigh of relief as he approached.*"This place isn't completely deserted after all. Did you come from a town? Is it nearby?"*The Centaur asked, the lack of energy flooding away easily in her moment of relief. Her body was aching, hardly being able to properly clean up from all the traveling, though the thought of sleeping inside never sounded better.*
Summer
*He pants a bit but takes one big breath and feels more rejuvenated than before and begins to talk again after quickly looking at the centaur* "Hmmm lemme think... Oh yeah there's a small village to the west of here, maybe a days travel away." *He takes another deep breath before continuing to speak* "Anyway I forgot to introduce myself! The name's Yogamo Maguda, or simply yomo if you prefer." *He sticks out his right hand for a handshake as he grips onto his backpack with the other* "May I ask for your name my exhausted friend?" *He gives a warm smile while fully sticking out his hand awaiting a quick handshake.*
Marisa
*Melody tried to stand up more straight at the offer of a handshake, soon holding her own hand out in turn to shake his.*"Melody Vander."*She attempted to say in a more professional tone despite the aching sense of exhaustion.*"Bounty Hunter that... Really needs a place to rest right now."*Melody gave up on the rest of the title, simply figuring it was best to go without one in her stay here.*"Nice to meet you Yomo. What brings you out here, this far from town?"
Summer
*He shakes her hand still with that warm smile on his face, the handshake is firm but not hard or overly friendly, after a bit he lets go and begins speaking yet again letting out a slight laugh before he does so* "Ha I am certainly far from town, last time I saw home was years ago and my last stop at an inn was a day or three ago. I am a nomad you see, always traveling to see the world and live the adventures of old story books." *He says with a faint glimmer of excitement and joy in his eye as his hand goes over the sky like he is trying to picture something* "But uhm enough about that, if you are looking for a place to sleep I can only truly recommend the village tho there may be some roadside inns on the route tho I don't remember this area quite well..." *He says while lightly scratching his chin*
Marisa
"Oh, a nomad-. Can't say I've seen every many around here. Guess you're my first one."*She said with a light smile, part of her a bit disappointed in him not having more information that could get her home faster. Though she was grateful he could at least tell her of some place to rest. Besides, in a country at war, she can only feel happy not to have stumbled across an army yet.*"Do you remember the way to them?"*She asked him.*"If you aren't too busy, I wouldn't mind a guide there."
