Nicole followed Aria through the streets and being a trained observer she noted many things. Which people seemed happy to see Aria, which did not and the few that greeted her nice but their eyes told a different story. Her alert blue eyes noted alleyways, how and where one could climb a building. Were the roofs strong enough to support her weight?...a heavier weight?<br/><br/>She listened to the young woman and realized she was a year older at 23. She also realized that for Aria at least 'adventurer' had a meaning that was closer to hero then not and she half chuckled trying to see herself as a hero.<br/><br/>She had an ability to think on several different things at the same time. An ability the CIA had found very useful. She could put together bits of information, observations, even sights and sounds and found a sound analysis that was more often right then not. It had helped her and her team several times.<br/><br/>Now that active brain was putting bits and pieces of things together she had seen and heard since that hole opened under her feet. If she accepted that she was here and this was real then she needed to expand her training rapidly. She began a list, sword training, bow training, brush up on her horse riding, wilderness survival training, to do this she would need coin....adventurer? steal? were the locks here the same she had trained on? sell her body? it wasn't like she was virgin after all. Though she would want to move in a higher circle of wealth. Was sex the same here? Cultures had different ways of approaching the matter after all.<br/><br/>She would perfer a larger town or even a city...her skills worked better in an urban area and she had less need to know which plant was poison or how to skin a deer and cut it apart... simple things that someone that had grown up here would know normally. Her sigh was soft as she realized the how limited she was.<br/><br/>What will I do?<br/>What will I do?<br/><br/>This was the big question and as yet one she could not answer.<br/><br/>The building they entered had a masculine feel, even with the pretty woman at the desk. She marveled at the outfit and liked how it looked...and wondered what it cost since  it offered about as much protection as the harness did. She let Aria speak as she slipped back and to the side and against the wall. After the other woman left and Aria moved farther into the room, Nicky moved so she was in an area of shadow partly behind a rack of weapons ,the room had several such places... it was her own test...for herself and this Agarth...she knew how to hide, how to use cover...would those skills work here?
