<div class="floatleft">(http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w124/Twin-Dragon/CharaDress_zps858c8a26.jpg)</div><strong>Name :</strong>Mizuki Izumi<br/><strong>Race and Occupation :</strong>Kitsune / Novice Adventurer<br/><strong>Location &amp; Time :</strong>Afternoon / Amberdale general location<br/><strong>Tagging :</strong>OPEN<br/><br/>Mizuki was lying asleep on a pile of hay at the back of the merchant wagon when she felt a hand shook her awake. The kitsune opened her eyes and rubbed them with the back of her hand sleepily as the merchant spoke to her, “Sorry to wake you up little lady, but we’re here.”The blonde nods lazily and gave a wide yawn as she moved from the back of the wagon to the front seat next to the merchant.<br/><br/>The wagon approached the town entrance and was soon approached by a guard who greeted the merchant with a smile, “Hi Mapan, is it a month already? What’s with the cutie? Don’t tell me that’s your new wife?” The kitsune blushed at being called “cutie” but the merchant let out a laugh as he spoke to the guard, “Heavens no, she’s daughter of an acquaintance. She said she wanna be an adventurer so I thought I’d give her a bit of a helping hand by giving her a ride to the starting point.”<br/><br/>This time, the guard raised an eyebrow as he gives Mizuki a once over before commenting once again, “Doesn’t look much, does she…?” He turned to Mizuki once again before addressing her straight, “You sure you wanna be an adventurer, girl? I certainly would hate to see a cutie-pie like you in a casket after wrong encounter with a wolf.”<br/><br/>Mizuki once again nods silently but strongly at the guard who gives her another once over before finally shrugging, “Well, if you’re sure… O well, welcome to Amberdale, then.”<br/><br/>Giving the guard one last greeting, the wagon went pass the town entrance toward the town center. Once they reaches the destination, Mizuki steps off from the wagon and reaches into her leather pouch to pay the merchant but the man raised his hand to stop her, “Don’t worry about it, little lady. Keep the money, you were a great company during the trip and it worth more than any gold you can give me. In fact….”<br/><br/>The man reaches to the back of the wagon and withdrew a ripe red apple from it before tossing it to the kitsune, “Take this as a parting gift. I suggest you find yourself an inn for the night at least. I know you’re eager to start your adventure but going out there with a company than alone can make a difference between life and death. You might also want to register with the adventurer office, they usually has missions to give you with good reward for completion, it might prove to be good training for you.”<br/><br/>The kitsune caught the round fruit before nodding silently once again at the man’s advice. She bowed to her waist to show her appreciation and thanks before turning around and started walking around the town for an inn while munching the sweet and sour fruit she was given.<br/><br/>It didn’t take long for her to find one as she looked up to the venture’s sign “The Vine and Horn Inn and Tavern” before pushing the wooden door open. She stepped into the building and went straight to the proprietor. The blonde opened her lips to speak but no sound came out of it.<br/><br/>The foxgirl blushed as she cleared her throat several times before trying once again with a soft and sweet voice, “I… I’d like a room for the night please.” The bartender who was also the inn’s proprietor raised an eyebrow at her but shrugged without further comment as she reached to the cabinet behind him and removed a metal key from it, “That would be 1 Silver coin, missy. Cost a bit more for breakfast and bath.”<br/><br/>The kitsune reaches into her pocket and withdrew 3 coins from inside before placing it on the table. Secretly, the kitsune was glad that her village actually had regular interaction with nearby town and therefore familiar with concept of currency… heavens know what would happen if she tried to pay with nuts and leaves, probably wouldn’t go too well. The bartender took the coins and pocketed them before speaking again, “Your room is at the second floor, third door on the right side.”<br/><br/>The kitsune nods in understanding before speaking again, “Umm… I was told to find the adventurer office too… can you point to their direction?” The bartender nodded as he pointed out of the window, “Sure, its not that far… just go down the main street, it’s the biggest building on the right with green roof, you can’t miss it.”<br/><br/>The kitsune nods once again and was about to say that she would go there immediately… when suddenly a soft growling sound came out of her stomach. For a moment, there is silence between the two as the kitsune felt rather self-conscious and blushed so much that her face was nearly as red as the ripe apple she was eating. Suddenly, the bartender started shaking with laughter, barely audible at first but gradually getting louder and louder… until he couldn’t hold back anymore and let out a full belly laugh.<br/><br/>It took a while before the man managed to compose himself enough to speak, “Lunch might be a better idea for now, don’t you think, laddie?” Mizuki nods silently, too embarrassed to trust her voice to speak which brought another set of laughter from the bartender as he spoke again, “You know what? It’s not everyday I found such a cutie customer like you, most of the adventurers I see are burly men with more muscle than brain. As a treat, I’ll allow your lunch just this time on the house. Go find yourself a seat, I’ll have a maid bring it to you.”<br/><br/>The blonde kitsune nods silently, her face still felt like it was on fire and she was too embarrassed to argue. Instead, she turned around and started looking for empty table.
