New Arrival

[Liena Kershaw]

Liena walked carefully in between the crowd, her head ducked down. The hood of her cloak was pulled up tightly around her face so she couldn't be seen. She was short, only about 5' 2" so it wasn't so difficult for her to slip through the people. She stopped on a corner and leaned up against the wall. Her hand rested lightly on the dagger attached to her side. She went no where with out it, nor with out the two throwing knifes strapped into her boots.

Liena was dressed like a man so as to blend better. This didn't bother her in the least bit, she actually preferred it to those horrid dresses. If ever needed in a real public place though she supposed she could manage in one for a bit. Lie slid her hand up into her hood pushing back a few short strands of her hair.

[Persephone DeVone]

Persephone wasn't quite certain why she was here other than she had wanted to go exploring. It wasn't like she knew every where in town either, being that she'd grown up in a small village where a big crowd like this was usually non existint. Not that the small mageling cared either. She was starting to get used to this place.

As she walked on, she looked up at all the people passing by her. She only stood five foot, and most kids were taller than she was. So people tended to almost stare at her, and she stared right back at them.

Persephone decided to walk against the wall finding that it was easier to skirt the crowd that way. She felt relieved that people didn't press against her so hard when she was leaning against the wall. She closed her emerald eyes for a split second, and found she'd ran into someone.

When she opened her eyes and picked herself off the ground, she'd found she'd ran into a girl that was only a few inches taller than herself. The other wore man's clothes, and Persephone silently applauded her for that, although she herself wore robes. Still ,she wanted to make sure the other was ok, and thought it was best to ask.

"I'm sorry! Are you ok?"

[Liena Kershaw]

Liena watched the crowd intently, trying to pick up the ways of these people when she was knocked down. The hood to her cloak fell off as she hit the ground. She closed her eyes tightly for a few seconds only to open them and find another girl. She was dressed oddly to Liena but that didn't really matter at the moment. Liena stood back up and wiped the dirt from her cloak. She pushed her hand back through her short brown hair. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." She quirked her brow at the girl, examining her a little more. "What about you? Are you ok...I mean..I'm sorry about that. I shouldn't have been standing in the way there." Liena grinned having always been some what of an outsider in every thing.

Liena ran her hand across her dagger to make sure it was still there. Luckily for this girl she had not drawn it and slit her throat open right there. That would've been horrible for Liena though seeing as how she had just arrived here. She pulled her cloak tighter to her body making sure that her weapon couldn't be seen. "So you live here yes?" She eyed the girla bit nervously but brushed the feeling away after a few seconds. She extended her hand to the girl. "I'm Liena Kershaw."

[Persephone DeVone]

"Oh, I'm fine. I've taken worse falls than that. And yeah, I live here, in the citzen's housing district. How about you?"

Persephone watched as the other moved her hand over something and clenched the cloak tighter around her. It was odd behavior and instinct and training warned her to be more careful then she already was being. She had a feeling that if this woman was crossed.. well, Persephone might find herself standing in another kingdom with her God.

Then the other introduced herself as Liena Kershaw. It was an odd name, but a lot of names were odd to her. Persephone's own name was probably pretty odd for this place judging by the way people kept reacting to it.

"I'm Persephone DeVone, pleasure to meet you Liena Kershaw."

[Liena Kershaw]

Liena shook her head. "New here. Just arrived today as a matter of fact. I was just...looking around you know when this happened." A small smile flickered across her face. "So a housing district? I'm guess it is close, yes? I would like to see it some time." She nodded slightly, confirming her obvious curiousity about this town and every thing in it.

Amusement slid across her face. Liena had only heard that name once before and the poor soul had been caught stealing several valuable object from the king of that town. It had been at the hanging that Liena had caught the time. "Well it is a pleasure to meet you Persephone." Liena bowed her head to the girl. She looked around the surroundings again. It would take her a long while to get used to this new place and she'd probably move on pretty quickly only to return later. Liena sighed softly and then smiled. "Do you know...um..Who it is that I should speak with about getting a home in this town?" She had been looking for the right words hoping that what she said around here wouldn't sound odd because of the way she was taught in the different towns.
