"Man...I am bored!" Seth said, taking out his quarterstaff and poking it in the water repeatedly, watching the large air bubbles shoot to the surface like the clam collecters that came here weekly. "For the capital of Aroth...This place is boring!" He said, lying flat on the dock, lying down too fast and hitting his head with a thunk.

Nia lept from the boat that had carried her to the capital. She landed on the dock with a loud thunk, and waved at the crewmen to show that she was okay. She shook her hair out and pulled it back, on the boat it was fine loose(she loved the sea breeze throught her hair) but in a strange place Nia was much more comforable with it up so that she could see better. She suddenly relised that there was a boy next to her on the dock. Very close to her, as in, she had almost landed on top of him. "Opps, apparently the whole 'look before you leap' concept is actually pretty important." She shrugged "I'm Nia by the way." She extended a hand to help him up, somehow knowing that he had hit his head.

"Ugh...Thanks. I'm Seth." Seth said, taking the hand and standing up with Nia's help. "What brings you here?" He asked, rubbing his head, his fingers getting caught in his black hair. "I mean...it's so boring." Seth laughed, taking his hand back and crouching down to pick up his quarterstaff, his hair falling forward revealing his pointed ears.

Nia made a mental note of the pointed ears, she always made note of anything that was different, you never knew when such knowledge would come in handy "I am here because..." She hesitated, she wasn't even sure what she hoped to find Some sign of my Father, my family... It was only a half-hope, chances were very slim, all she had was a surname-there could be hundreds of people with the same one. "I make it a point to travel to as many places as I can. What better way to find adventure? It's impossible to find what you do not seek." She said aloud, there was no reason to tell a complete stranger all the rest.

"Unless you're looking for an item." Seth joked, running his fingers thrugh his hair. His pinky and thumb were actually straghtening his hair to cover his ears again. "So, want a tour or whatever?" Seth asked, wanting something to do. "Like. Know where the inn is, the tavern etcetera?" He asked, leaning on his quarterstaff, looking down at the ratty tape in the middle. "And one one of the shops...I need some new tape." He laughed.

Nia smiled "True enough. A tour would be great, save me the trouble of getting lost thriteen times..." Her mind strayed to her beltpurse, there wasn't much there, she'd have to find some way of earning more. Worse comes to worse, I can try singing to pay for my supper and room agian It wasn't as if that had been compleatly disasterous, but she found it embarresing. "Lead on."

"Alright." Seth said, setting a brisk pace, quarterstaff in hand. "First, the marketplace." He said, stopping every so often to make sure he hadn't lost Nia.
A few minutes later, the pair were infront of a long row of carts, whoich were in front of a busy river, which was in front of another row, just as long, of cart. "This...is the marketplace!" He said, spreading his arms wide. "The stores are indepented and don't have time or security to go get the supplies from the docks so they have their good shipped directly to them. The weapons shop is right....here." Seth continues, walking over to a shop. "One roll of white gripping tape please!" He said, laying a copper peice on the cart. "Yes sir!" The shopkeep replied, an elf, looked about late forties by human years. meaning probably about 2-300 years of age, handing a roll of white tape ofer to Seth. "Thank you." He replied hapily. "Need anything?" Seth asked, reaching into the pocket of his brown pants.

A slender man in a deep red clock walks up behind the two from seemingly nowhere, his long sythe drapped across his back. "Seth...you should be careful as to who you spend money on..there will be times when it's immportant to have a spare gold coin." the man glares at Nia, not so much in an unfriendly way, as an untrusting way.

"Uriel...why do you keep following me?" Seth asked agnrily. "I have enough money. And would you stop Randomly appearing?" He continued angrily as the trio walked along the market, heading towards a small, but tall, bridge. It was a set of wooden stairs that went up high, and then a small platform, and then another set of stairs.

A slender elven girl with her pink hair followed silently. On her back was the bow and arrows she always carried, her enhanced agility allowed her to be unheard. Unless you weren't normal... She stepped lightly, her specialty being stealth. This was what she was made for. They would not notice unless she wished to be noticed...though it was not without its fault. The others could notice if they wanted to... (repeating was done purposely, don't ask >.<)

"Agh..." Seth groaned, annoyed, not getting a response from Uriel. "Nia. Need anything? I don't have too much left..." he lied, being sure to not be the target of theives, he learned not to flaunt how much money he had the hard way. "Just a couple copper pieces" He lied again, leaning over and whispering "Actually, three silvers..." Which was alot for his age, but he actually had four.

Suddenly she stepped out of the shadows on pointed toes and graceful steps. She gave no greeting, simply allowed them to sense her presense. Her midnight blue eyes surveyed the scape, her tight clothing allowing her to walk gracefully. She removed her bow and knocked one arrow just in case...ready to aim and fire if need be.

"Hi..." Seth said, walking up the steep stairs that brought them over the river.. Agh...another one...I say it's boring, Uriel shows up again, I meet this girl, and now this warrior Elven girl...Hopefully she doesn't greet me back... "Uriel...I'll ask you again, why do you keep following me? oh, Uriel, Nia, Nia, Uriel..."

"Hello." the girl replied blankly. She put away her weapons and stepped lightly to follow. Her pink hair swished behind her back as she did so. "Do you have a dubbance?" she asked with a blink. Though she had yet to reviel her own at all or why she was following Seth and the others.

"Seth" He sighed, then asking. "Now, who are you. And why were you following us?" Angrily, stopping on the stairs and turning around, feigning calm badly, his black hair falling in front of his face. "sorry. That was rude, but please tell me- no, us, why you were follwing us, and who you are?"
