(It's fine, and yes I am enjoying class ^^ This week is finals, next week I'll have a new schedule)<br/><br/>Though as obvious as Reika's fear of people was, there was also a curiosity in it. Having been trapped within the darkness of a dungeon, or the yard of her former master and mistress, she had not known anything more. Nothing of the outside world, nothing of the towns or people or places outside her restricted limits. The children calmed her and comforted her much, as she enjoyed their company; children were much warmer and gentler than adults. It was less likely that she would be judged by them. During their stop in the violin shop, Reika and Alyxander continued to discuss things that they had not gotten the chance to speak about. They still had quite a bit to catch up about. When Kate returned with the vendor, Reika glanced over, looking brightly at the three violins. They were very finely made, much different from the way hers had been... and probably not cheap. "I have not the money to pay for these, Kate. And you need not waste yours on such things. We can come back when I have earned enough." "Do not worry of that, Reika. She will spoil you anyways." After they had left, Reika barely managing to convince Kate that she wasn't in need of a violin, the two followed Kate into an inn. Alyx remembered the place well, and smiled. Reika stuck close to him, glancing around nervously. Unlike outside, where there had been a lot of people, this was crowded internally; to her it was like being stuck in a box, everything seemed much too close. Still, she tried to get used to it; no longer would she be trapped in a room all day, cleaning, cooking, sowing, working. No longer would she be alone from this point forward. There was much to learn. As they were seated and Heidi came over, Alyxander smiled, nodding his head once in recognition. When Reika was noticed, he glanced over towards her and gently nudged her. But Kate answered for her. Reika glanced from Kate to Heidi, then back to Kate and then to Alyx. She managed a smile and a soft 'nice to meet you' before the other female left to get their drinks. When she returned and passed out the refreshments, a lemonade-type drink for Reika and water for Alyx, they both thanked her. Reika sipped her drink, glancing around, still on edge.
