*Kaori had moved swiftly between the crowds, making very good progress until the women had seemingly come from nowhere and bumped into her. She staggered over, but quickly recovered to stand her ground and turn to face whoever this person was only to realize it was the Titan she had been fighting alongside this whole time. She backed away a short bit, already being short enough by Ekremi standards without the Titan making the size difference more obvious. Eventually after studying her, Kaori was able to change her demeanor.*"Not a problem."*She says, ignoring the hand Ellena offered her, seemingly not wanting the assistance.*"I suppose I haven't been looking where I was going."
Cynthia
*Keeping her hand extended towards Kaori* "Oh no. I wasn't looking, sorry. Names Ellena by the way" *Ellenas hand seemed now more handshake than that of assistance* "And you are"
Andrew
*The Naga decided to keep that to memory for now in figuring maybe the Titan could be of use later. Kaori eventually took her hand and gave it a light shake.*"Valerie."*She said in response after clearing her throat.*"Nice battling out there by the way."
Cynthia
"Oh thank you, Valerie. So you like people fighting or do you have another reason for coming?" *Ellen grabbed her hand firmly to give it a proper shake*
Andrew
"Just figured it would be a good opportunity to sharpen my skills."*She says with a shrug.*"Maybe even a bit of fun with the whole festival and all. What about you?"
Cynthia
"Im mostly here to learn about foreign forging techniques and see how well my weapons and armour actually stack up in battle" *Ellena paused for a bit while she frowned to herself* "Yeah. I'm a black smith"
Andrew
"Well that's a first. Haven't met a Blacksmith before."*She says.*"Much less one that fights. Guessing you're going to be doing the whole foraging stuff once you're done with the tournament here?"
Cynthia
"Foraging?" *Ellena raised an eyebrow*
Andrew
"Forging."*She says back.*
Cynthia
"Oh, yes. Definitely. Maybe even see about finding some materials myself if there's any mines or the like close by... Well see" *She said smiling at Kaori* "How about you?:
Andrew
*She tried to think of a good reason and eventually settled on something.*"Just exploring the rest of Runra, I suppose. This is my first time visiting after all. Going to meet up with a few friends after."
Cynthia
"Oh, that sounds fun." *Ellena said still smiling happily* "So what's your favourite part of runra?"
Andrew
"Mmmm... Can't say right now. Haven't been here too long, but the warlords sure can throw a party. Considering everything going on anyways."
Cynthia
"Parties are fun... But what's going on?" *Ellena questioned with a raised eyebrow*
