Had the sweets been handed out yet?
Mary
*It's been two hours since Karl had been awake. Him and the others in his group received sweets from some merchants, this wasn't usual but the gift was appreciated, they tasted really well.

He wondered who would give out sweets for free, he didn't know who it was but he was thankful for them*
Keisha
"Are those ice cakes?" *Raelin couldn't help but to ask as if she didn't know already, giving a quick gesture at the Eevee enjoying her work.* "Sorry to interrupt but I think I recognise that band. Are you Guardian?"
Mary
*Karl paused and turned towards the Lucario and replied*
"Indeed so, what can I do for you?" *After which he took another bite from the sweet.*
Keisha
"Don't worry, I'm not asking a favour." *Raelin responded with a chuckle, wondering if the Guardia lads were really so often beset.* "I was just looking to pick your brain a bit, if that's alright with you? I'm not quite sure if I'm a local or not right now but I wanted to know how things are for our guests around here. Check everything's OK, you know?"
Mary
"Ah I see! Yes things are very nice here, we actually got sweets as a gift earlier today, which was really sweet." *Pun intended* "You aren't sure if you're a local, may I ask where you're from originally?"
Keisha
"Yeah, Cerris sent them here, I think." Raelin lied. "She's a Priestess I grew up with, back home in Luminaire. Wonderful woman, top-to bottom as well. I'd want to send a letter home to her sometime but... That's difficult."

*Of course, Raelin being Raelin, she had of course absolutely missed the pun attempt. Oh well, some folks just are like that.*

"It's weird being in a small town though. Back where I'm from, it's Helios, the capital. I bet it'd impress anyone, Solarian or not. Glass spires, as far as the eye could see- well, I think I'm more used to it here now anyway. Might even feel weird if I go home one day. You been here long?"
Mary
"No I haven't, Ive been here for about 3 months which compared to others it isn't very long. How long have you been here for?"
*Karl was wondering why someone who's lived in such interesting places would willingly come live here, in a foreign and slightly poorer country.*
