Kora smiled at the woman, looked toward the flames and then to Zara again. "A hunter, uh? I think the answer is obvious but, what are you doing here?" She arched an eyebrow and put a hand on her waist while she waited for the response.
Mary
"I am camping at the moment," *Zara explained.* "I enjoy being out with nature. It is peaceful and quiet, with amazing views no matter where you are."
*Zara shifted her stance slightly, moving around on the small mat so she could sit down properly rather than in a meditative kneel.*
"You are welcome to stay if you wish," *She'd offer.* "If you are hungry, I have food to spare."
Rene
"Oh! I've been camping only one time..." She looked at Zara with her cyan eyes, flashing red for a moment. Kora was hungry and couldn't hide it. She crossed her arms and then sat down on the ground next to the woman.
"No, thank you. I'm good." She smiled at Zara. "I was looking for somewhere to stay. All the days I've been in this empire, I was just sleeping on tree's branches. I come from a foreign land and unfortunately had to move from there."
Mary
"Sleeping in trees? That sounds uncomfortable," *Zara said.*
Rene
"Well, for me it's relaxing... Where do you live, uh?" She arched an eyebrow, looking at Zara again with curious eyes.
Mary
"Being a traveller, I have no one place that I stay for long," *Zara explained.* "I either camp, or stay at an inn... It depends on where I find myself at the end of the day."
*Zara checked the fire for a moment, before returning her attention to Kora.*
"What about you? Do you travel more, or do you have a home of your own?"
Rene
"No, I don't have a home... I come from a glorious and rich Kingdom, it won every war we had with the other six kingdoms near it... At least that's what it was. One day, the war destroyed it. I tried fighting for my kingdom but, all of them died and I was just one... So I decided to run away, unfortunately leaving my family to die." She sighed. "I hope one day I find my older brother. And I want to visit where it was too, but I will restart my life again first."
She looked at the fire, then at Zara again. "I remember that people used to call my family 'the most respected' or things like that. Indeed, we were respected by everyone. My family was famous because, we participated on the wars and helped my Kingdom to win... And because of a magical sword, which I have, but don't know how to activate it. So it's just a simple sword right now."
Mary
*A kingdom that won every war, was ultimately decimated by their last. Can't say Zara was surprised, really, but whether the kingdom itself was a warmonger kingdom, or whether it was purely passive until attacked, was something she didn't know, so she didn't judge.
She couldn't say that she knew how Kora felt being so alone either. Zara left her home willingly, with good intentions and a kind valediction to her family. But to be the last one or few remaining of a destroyed kingdom's royalty... It must have been rough.*
"I am sorry to hear that," *She said.
The mention of a magical sword interested Zara. Of course, she already has her own enchanted weaponry and gear, but magical items still interested her. She didn't want to possibly draw hostility by asking Kora about the weapon, though, so Zara decided to leave it for the time being.*
