Mary
A felinid female is walking to the roads she is wearing a black coat, black pants, long gloves and a red hooded cape covering her head and to the legs she hides her animal features such as ears ,tail ,claw and fur. Her Dai katana is on her back and dagger and tanto on the side of her waist while she walks she is looking around the path to see if something suspicious might attack her
Marsha
*Along the pathway, Melody would move in a quick gallop, having spent a good portion of the day working with her endurance at the promise of getting to see the guild soon. With a strong leap, she'd bound up the short slope onto the roadway, landing surprisingly lightly.*"Woo- nailed it!"*She'd say triumphantly before she'd look over to notice to other woman walking along the path.*"Oh-. Didn't know anyone was out here. Hey there."*The Centaur would offer a more sheepish wave to her, quickly regaining her composure in deciding this being an alright time to take a break.*
Mary
She hears this "Hmm guess that i am not alone here" She said to her self quiet as she can and sigh before turning to the woman and waved at her back "Why did you call me miss?" She asked for she doesn't know why she has been called and stopped waking and puts her hand down she has b been in the town already for 2 days and leave her horse there for she goes to a walk alone outside of town. She then starts to walk towards the centaur she still cautious doe for the centaur might be a bandit even does she doesn't look like one
Marsha
"Well it would be rude to not greet the one other person out here, miss."*She'd say, offering a smile towards her.*"The name's Melody Vander. Local bounty Hunter. What might I call you miss?"*Melody would ask the question, holding out her hand in offering to shake hers. It wasn't often she got to meet people on the road after having made her way to the Capitol already, so these small greetings were always a good treat.*
Mary
She got closer to the centaur and now a lower her guard down for she now knows she is not a threat "Yeah that was a good answer miss Melody, my name is Akira Nakamura i am a Mercenary" She said as she shake her hand but she could feel something on her hand which resemble a cat's paw "It is a good day to day isn't it?" She said for she doesn't know what to talk about for she is tired and regretting she left her horse
Marsha
*Shaking her hand, Melody would eventually draw her own away, giving a nod in agreement to the feline's words.*"It is."*She'd say. Turning around slightly as if she were going to head in the direction towards town, Melody would glance back to the woman.*"Are you heading to the Capitol?"*She'd ask her curiously. Perhaps they could head back together if heading in the same direction.*
Mary
"If you mean in Salvainia yes I'll be staying there for like a few months for mercenary jobs available" She then sat on the ground for a quick rest "Are from salvania? Cuz i could really use a tour on the place cuz i once get lost their trying to find a bakery" She said and chuckled at her own words and breath deep and exhale
Marsha
*Seeing the woman sit down, Melody would decide to gradually go down into a more laying position for the sake of continuing conversation. At least a laying position as far as her deer-half went.*"Well actually I'm from Northern Mentia. I traveled here about a week ago, so I can't say I know where everything is. But... I have gotten to visit a few places during my stay here. Like the coast and taverns and marketplace-."*She'd say.*
Mary
"Oh your from Mantia im from Lymia and it ain't everyday i get to talk to a centaur" He said to her as she watched her sit "And it is very confusing if your laying down or sitting" She doesn't come across centaurs often "Oh wait wait wait did you say taverns? Where they serve alcohol you gotta show me where it is" She loves alcohol and mostly ends up starting a bar fight every time she is drunk but she hasn't drink alcohol since she got to the town
Marsha
*She'd let out a quiet laugh.*"You and several others it seems. I never noticed how uncommon Centaurs must be to other people. I always had such a large family growing up."*Being asked if she could show her to the Tavern, Melody would nod.*"Sure thing."*She'd come to stand up, holding a hand down to help Akira up.*"You sure you'll be able to make the trip there? You seem pretty tired."
Mary
"Yep you are like the 11th centaur ive seen so far" It is uncommon for her to see centaurs "Yeah im totaly ok to walk then drink some alcohol" She take her hand and stands up almost getting her hood off but she quickly stopped it "So we are goin to walk for a little while and is it also an inn cuz i have been sleeping in a stable with my horse since i can't find an inn with it being full"
Marsha
"We just need to get back to the gates, from there it's just a couple blocks away, tavern, inn and everything."*She'd say, turning to trot off along the road.*"I can just drop you off there before I have to head to work."
Mary
"Hm i forgot you hunt criminals for a second there" She stretch her hands up and a few cracks can be heard "Hmmmm the satisfaction so judging on which way your looking at that is where the path leads to the town then" She said to her as she scratch her neck
Marsha
"Do you typically hunt down criminals on your Mercenary jobs?"*She'd ask her.*"I know it's not one and the same exactly, but I've noticed that Mercenaries and Bounty Hunters can end up doing the same things."*With Akira asking if this is where town was, Melody would give a nod.*"Yeah. The gate is just straight ahead. I typically take this path heading to and from the Capitol."
Mary
"Well yes actually we protect people we hunt people but we never kill people so both are basically the same except Bounty hunters do not need a boss to pay you for the prison is the one doing it and some of boss are weird towards a female mercenaries" She said to her crossing her arms "Ok lets hit the road then for i really wanna drink them alcohol" She started walking to the said path
Marsha
*With Melody already having a head start in heading towards the Capitol, she'd glance back towards the woman, giving her a chance to catch up before she'd continue trotting along. The Centaur would hum quietly to pass the time, watching as the gates would grow closer in time.*"I never favor midday."*She'd say suddenly, breaking her song for a short moment.*"It tends to get really crowded and makes it much harder to navigate."
Mary
"Yeah crowded places often gets me very confused on where to head special i almost hear everything and it gets annoying" She said as the gates grow closer and closer as she continued to scratch her neck for it does makes her feel good "So we are almost -yawns- on the town i do not have any plans yet for i just wanna explore the city and find jobs" She is getting sleepy from walking and her energy is low and she carelessly took off her hood to scratch her head revealing her cat ears
Marsha
"You have stronger senses, don't you?"*She'd ask her with a curious tilt of her head. It was one thing with Melody trying to get to places with her physique, it was another when places would completely overwhelm them. Sometimes she got that with her somewhat sensitive hearing, though she wasn't sure it was the same as those of the beastkin races.*
Mary
"Well felinid like me often hear better then normal humans because of this" She said as she points her finger on her cat ears "But i often hide mine because the cloth does muffle the voices a bit and i hate too much noise" She then puts her hood back "Also we felinid are more competitive then any other races every time one of felinid goes better then the other we compete to outdo one another"
Marsha
*She'd let out a quiet laugh at the last point, coming to an eventual stop as they would reach the gates.*"Well at least you found ways to work around it. Sometimes we just have to work with what we're given. I bet the good hearing makes things a lot easier to track down, right?"
Mary
"Yes it does but also a major weakness for if they blast a loud sound i cant ignore it" She said while maintaining not to fall asleep "But the down fall of beastkins race is that our life is short compare to other race so we have to make every time we have on our lifespan count"
Marsha
*She'd continue on past the gates, following the roadway she had often stuck to whenever trying to find the tavern. It wasn't so crowded just yet, but she made sure to keep herself out of the way as they'd pass by other people.*"Well I've heard that there are these rituals that could make people live longer. I always figured it was a tale for children, but it seems there are some out there that say it's true."
Mary
As they entered the gates she looks around for once again she gets her guard up "I don't really believe in rituals for lack of proof about it but maybe they do maybe they don't the world works in a mysterious way" She said as she puts her hand near her tanto for if someone try to attack her she can quickly draw out a weapon
Marsha
"This world is pretty magical. I can't say it would too surprising if it was true. Maybe even something to try later on in life. Who knows?"*She'd glance at Akira as they would continue down the roads, noticing her guarded posture.*"You're so tense."*She'd say to her.*
Mary
"No i am not tense i am just keeping my guard up for someone might just try to rob me" She doesn't like to be around many people for its every one is different from the other and she believes that one out of 15 people is a thug or a bandit
Marsha
"Had a bad run in with people before?"*She'd partially question. In her time growing up, Melody had learned to give most people a chance before assuming them guilty of something. However, she knew that wasn't the case for everyone.*
Mary
"Not me. . But someone important to me had one" She said that as she lower her head for she remembered the death of her parents so that is why she doesn't trust many people
Marsha
"Oh? What happened? If you don't mind me asking that is?"*She'd ask her. Part of Melody figured it would be a friend or something, someone who seemed to warrant Akira into acting so standoffish in the company of crowds of people.*
Mary
"I... Do not wanna talk about it" Her voice is rather low and a bit different her usual smile fades in a an expressionless emotion she continued to walk as she keeps her head down looking at the ground
Marsha
*She'd give a dip of her head in understanding.*"I won't ask further then."*Melody would say, soon going quiet for a while as she'd continue along the roads, silently watching other people as they'd go about their day.*"It's always a mystery how everyone else's lives may be different from our own don't you think?"*She'd suddenly ask out of the blue.*
Mary
After she said she won't ask any further she calmed down a bit and looks towards the road "Yeah people lives in different ways then the other some tries to best each other some lives in luxury some does everything to survive on their own" She is confused why she asked the question but just answers it anyway
