*Alasdair would take a walk around in a Village nearby from Thunush, still on thoughts and flashbacks would bring him into deep thoughts about on how he would trace back to those that took their lifes. Not to mention that he would listen to any form of rumours or any kind of news in the surrounding area.

"If only..." He thought to himself, while taking the walk towards a nearby well to take a short rest"*
Mary
*Melody would trot her way through the village that sat far closer to the Mentian border, her mood partially dampened. With the war ravaging on in Mentia, she had found herself an excuse to come visit the neighboring cities in hopes that others will be able to take over her job at the Capitol without wondering of her absence. It wasn't the first time the Centaur had passed through this way, though even now the place was still unfamiliar to her. She'd come to a stop near the center of the town, briefly looking around in hopes to find some place to stop to rest before continuing on a bit further, though in not seeing anything at a passing glance, she decided she might as well ask around. Her gaze would fall upon Alasdair for a brief moment, soon leading her to wave to him as a way of getting his attention.*
Harvey
Is what he would say in a grumpy voice as his corner of the eye noticed the centaur coming towards next to him. Thought not in the right mood to Talk to a beastling, the sight of a centaur sure is a suprise for him, raising an eyebrown.
Standing up from leaning the well that he was using as comfort, he used his boar spear as a helping hand to stand up properly and standing facing towards the centaur.*
Mary
*Melody would see a bit taken aback by his tone, though with a quick shake of her head, she would say:*"Sorry to disturb you sir. I was hoping to ask if you knew a good place to rest here or perhaps somewhere where travelers can go to to take a break from their trips?"*Melody could tell this man probably didn't want to be bothered which simply led her to speak in her more respectful tone. Some citizen have it harder than others, and she wouldn't doubt it to be the same case here.*
Harvey
"I believe if you go towards this large alley, you will find an inn to take a good nap for the night.
But, say..."

He pauses for a bit having a good look on the centaur and notices that it is a she. Giving a short grin while taking this as a small oponturnity.

"Why on salvanian name is a female centaur like you here at the very Border towards the Dangerous region?" 

He would lean towards to his boar spear, for having at least some fun to tease someone. Especaly a beastling.*
Mary
"An inn just through the alleyways. Got it. Thank you-."*She'd say with a light nod of confirmation. For a moment she'd turn around, looking as if she were about to trot off towards it only for his question to suddenly meet her ears.

She'd look at him quizzically, taking notice of the underlying comment he made by asking it.*"What do you mean?"*Melody would ask him in mild confusion.*"I'm here for similar reason of any other traveler. Just passing through."*What did her bring a female centaur have to do with it? She had every reason to be here as anyone else surely. Or has some of the Mentian hostilities made its way into Salvania as well?*
Harvey
*He gave a slighty chuccle as she said so, looking towards the hills and mountains that create the natural border between the mentian lords and salvanian Empire with a rather neutral-emotionless Expression.

"Pass these mountain and hills are those that 'might' enjoy killing everything that isnt mentians or at least tolerated. That is not only to those you might be afraid Off, but those that would love to get their hands on some wealth that others have the most of it."

He would slightly shake his head a bit before looking at the centaur that was almost making its way to the inn he mentioned. 

"After all, this region is quite Dangerous for a traveler without companions. Especaly for a... Foreign like you are"

In truth, alasdair did not cared much for beastling like the centaur he just meet. Giving a grumpy hmpf at the end. He did see very little of them when he was Younger, his parrents that were before alive thaught him not to trust all too much about beastling. Only a few they would but that be it.*
Mary
*Melody's gaze would narrow slightly, soon deciding to not let his words get to her too much. He didn't know her anymore than she knew him. Besides, the stress of the war was probably just making her more antsy than usual.*"Well fortunately for me, I am a Mentian."*She'd say in return to him. Her arms would cross lightly, mainly as an excuse for her to be able to lightly rub at her arm in mild comfort.*

"I've lived there almost all my life. Now I have to get back to help out my family before the war gets to them."*She'd say.*"I'm guessing you must have some experience with it... In you seeming so knowledgable on what's been going on since I've left..." 

*For all she knew he could have been leaving it or even going to join in the chaos arising from Mentia tearing itself apart. Melody didn't have any interest of it, only heading off that way with one goal in mind before she could get enough closure to return to her work. She couldn't do much for her losing country, only protecting those within it.*
Harvey
*Being suprised that she is from mentian culture, he was a bit silenced from her words. Not in a afraid Expression but he sure got the attention from her. Why not? He thought, should at least take away the bad thoughts he had for quite a while.

"Indeed i am, but not from those baddies and neither from the royalty bastards with their shiny and ther oh so prestisgous ranks that have to follow 'someone' boots into their Doom."

He chuccels a bit as he would walk past her, having the respectfull distance from the centaur as he uses his boar spear as his Walking Stick. For sure he got the attention from the centaur, but he surely wants to respect the ones he talks towards. He had some mishaps in the past and surely learned a few lessons from by himself. Even if he was a loner for quite some time.*
Mary
*Melody would watch him walk by, taking a moments' pause before slowly trotting after him. She figured he could show her the way to the inn eventually even if he didn't seem to have an interest in interacting with her.*

"Have you recently fled from Mentia or... Have you been receiving local news about it?"*She'd decide to ask them while they walked. It wouldn't hurt to at least get an idea of what she was walking back into, especially with North Mentia being far beyond the border. It would take ages to travel all the way up there and even more back with the rest of her family. Maybe she could scope out a nice route of sorts or just cross her fingers in hope that nothing bad will happen.*
Harvey
As he goes on, he briefly stops for a moment to look at the mountain and hill region of salvanian-mentia border, leting out a worrisome sight.

"Neither of these, i did live however, VERY close to the mountain-hill frontier region. So you could expect totaly different from that."

He goes on to look and walk towards the inn, there would be a sign at the distance calling it the "The frontiers inn" He continoutes.

"I do however, seen things that you havent in your youth."
Mary
*With the inn insight, Melody would would pick up the pace, just enough to walk side by side with him. Albeit she had to occasionally slow down to make sure she didn't get ahead, often forgetting her own speed at times.*"Like what?"*She'd ask him. Part of her was going to simply assume he meant something in relation to the war, hopefully nothing too gruesome or horrid to imagine. She simply wanted to get in and out of Mentia with the least amount of trouble as possible. Her experience in bounty hunting could only help her so much in fights this large.*
Harvey
"You propaply get more info at the inn rather questioning me further. I'll need a Drink or two. Been a long day for me."*
Mary
*In his pause, she'd give a slight dip of her head.*"Understood."*She'd say, trotting on ahead towards the inn. The Centaur would stop just before the door before eventually adding:*"I hope your day gets better. I can only imagine how hard things may be."*Part of Melody figured that the inn wouldn't be able to accommodate for centaurs as most around Salvania didn't. It wasn't much of a problem for her, though she decided to wait until the man caught up so that he could head in first.*
Harvey
Ignoring the fact that the centaur was giving him the oponturnity to let him in First. His grumpy hmpf was heard again once more as he enters.*
Mary
*After he would head inside, Melody would wait for a moment as a golden glow would pass over her body. In seconds her centaur half would vanish from sight, only to be replaced with two human legs. No longer restricted by previous larger size, the Centaur would head in after him.*
