The man clattered quietly with the sounds of metal armor, a long, finely crafted spear in one hand as he approached the shop keeper with a dully bloody burlap sack. He rested it against her counter, unabashed to the other customer in the building. "Here you are Ma'am! I have the rabbits you wanted." He stated rather cheerily. 

He was a fairly tall man, his shoulders being a bit more broad than the average for a man. His face betrayed the slim, thin features of a rather lithe frame underneath the bulky protection he wore. He bore a small slice on his cheek which appeared to be in the latter stages of healing.

His violet eyes scanned about the building briefly as he waited for the shop owner to dole him out the paltry sum he had taken this small hunting job for.
Cody
A large man walked into the store, and set down a sack and proclaimed them as rabbits. Solden raised her eyebrows from her corner of the store. *He seems rather friendly.* She walked up to the man. "You do know that you shouldn't declare 'I HAVE RABBITS' in the middle of a store, and especially in this time?" She asked, and threw a glance towards the direction of a few shady men.
Mary
His ear curled to the side slightly as he looked to the other customer that had approached him, his friendly demeanor persisting as he looked her up and down. "And why not? The owner asked that I go hunt some rabbits for her, I am simply following up on the job I was sent on. Is that not proper etiquette in this city?" He questioned, seeming to be not at all bothered by the group of unsavories in the corner of the store.
Cody
Solden stared disbelievingly at him for a moment. "No, It's not about that. It's because there are * Some people *" She said, jerking her head towards the shady men "Who might hear about the rabbits and want to steal them. You can say it, just not so loudly."
Mary
He leaned down slightly to get more at level with her as he smiled calmly. "That would only be a concern if I didn't believe I could deal with such vauntless hoodlums." He stated rather calmly, looking one of them dead in the eyes while he carefully accepted the small pouch of silver from the shop owner and tucked it nearly away into a pocket on his traveling pack. 

He rested his arms across his chest as he looked down at the woman. "And, pray. Whom might you be to be concerned about thieves in a shop? Do you know the owner?" He pondered, trying to place the smaller woman.
Cody
Her eye twitched slightly at him bending down. "I don't know the owner. As for why I'd be concerned, I've always benn against harming or stealing from the innocent. A righteous sense, I guess." She decided on her next words. "My name is Xenn."
Mary
"Well, Xenn. I don't think there is much risk of that happening. If they'd want anything, I imagine they'd be more interested in the Silver I am carrying rather than the few rabbits I handed off." He stated rather confidently, beginning to make for the door and back out into the street. "In any case, I'd rather not take up patronage if I don't intend to buy anything. I will be taking my leave." He offered, giving a small bow to her and the owner before stepping outside of the door."
Cody
"That is a good point." She followed towards the door as well. "I keep meeting people like you. It's kind of funny and infuriating at the same time."
Mary
"People like me? Whatever do you mean?" He asked quizzically as he continued down the bustling street. He used his finely crafted, distinct looking spear as a walking stick while he conversed with Xenn, his ears flicking and turning every which-way to tune into the various sounds around him.
Cody
She smiled. "People who have their moral compasses always pointed in the right direction, really nice, and a bit oblivious at first sight. I once met a guy in a tavern who offered me his bread just because I looked at him for a second. It's refreshing sometimes."
Mary
"Why would it be angering to see such well-meaning people? It should never be seen as a bad thing to be surrounded by kindness. It is a luxury that is very rarely afforded to people." He stated with an even smile while they walked, he was headed to one of the city gates as it seemed. 

"As another point, was it whimsy that compelled you to follow me? I don't tend to stay in taverns or inns much, so if you follow me, you may find yourself fairly cold." He warned, glancing casually about at all the people who were buzzing about the gate.
Cody
"Sort of, yeah. I did it on a whim. And I'm warm enough for the cold. It's not that I find it angering, it's just that sometimes they don't process what I'm implying when I talk about darker stuff. It's funny how oblivious they are, and sometimes a bit hard to get my point across," She said, chuckling. "I do appreciate kindness. I'm not a person who would get mad about that, and it is unreasonable to me for someone to feel that about it."
Mary
"I don't think I am oblivious. I can identify unsavories just fine on my own, however I don't see a need to be fearful of them. It gives them the misguided impression that they could best me." He smirked softly, his ears flicking upward as he looked over to her. "Oh, and I am very sorry! I've forgotten my manners! I am Draco of clan Blackshock. Last of my kin. It is a pleasure to meet you Madem." He stated, taking a brief moment to offer up his hand for her.
Cody
Solden was in disbelief yet again. *This guy is a piece of work. A real piece of work. Also, who calls them unsavories?* "That's a good tactic," She said, taking the offered hand. "Also, nice to meet you too, Draco." She smiled.
Mary
He pulled her hand up to place a small kiss against her knuckles, him continuing toward the gate. "So, do you live around here? Or are you a wanderer like me?" He continued, making simple small talk as they passed beyond the walls of New Salvainia.
Cody
"A wanderer, like you. I come from the Silnari Empire. I hope I can one day visit every country and maybe do something for the world." She responded. "How about you?"
Mary
"My goals aren't so grand or ambitious. I'm simply concerned with my survival as of the moment. I do good where I can, but most of my choices have been defined by need or circumstance. I don't have much in the way of objectives truthfully enough." He said with a small shrug, his tail swaying out from underneath his cape slowly as they walked, it accidentally brushing against her forearm."
Cody
Solden noticed the tail, and her curiousity was piqued, but she didn't mention it. "It's always good to have a goal. You have a reason to try, something to achieve, a purpose. And then you get to feel that satisfaction of 'I did it.'"
