A disciple's debt is always paid:
Once for any simple trade.
Twice for freely-given aid.
Thrice for any insult made.
Arella had traveled for days on foot, days by only the small amount of money she had on her. Many people helped her out happily. Bless the goddess Sintiana for them, she would have never made it otherwise. Normally she had only traveled between her home town of Vertton and Cerdra. The road there was easy and often traveled. But this new path was different, and she had to zig-zag across to different mountain passes to get through. She wore the robes of a Cerdran healer and Cerdra's prestigious Sintianic crest clipped the ties of her hooded capelet together. Anyone with half a wit and the faintest idea of what those robes meant would be give any needed aid. It was almost easy to travel for a week and a half. People who did not know of this figured it out soon enough.
Even though she had been helped through much of the journey, she still had to walk most of it. The boots she had found so comfy for years prior pressed horribly against her feet even when she rested. She bared it, however. She needed to get to the city. She needed to make a good impression. She needed to be one of the Travelers.
Once inside the Hyirin city limits, she found herself in another world. It was posh, astounding, and even nearly rivaled Violet square back in Cerdra. She nearly had to keep her hand on her jaw to keep herself from staring open-mouthed at the architecture. The sky was a lovely shade in sunset. The party would be starting soon. She refused to be late.
The courtyard outside the house, however, was empty. She looked around, and tugged awkwardly at her hood. When it came down, it revealed a circlet which she promptly pushed the hair around it away from her face. Might as well not look like she was going to rob the place. She looked up at the large impressive door and knocked once. The door came open slightly and she stepped in, looking around speculatively. She kept her footsteps quiet as she looked around. A record player was playing somewhere, giving the place a very empty feeling.
"Hello?" She asked, loud enough to be heard in the room.

Lyns looked up, his expression that of a curious animal. One part indifference, two parts amusement. It was a feminine voice, delicate, seemingly quiet. Lyns didn't know who it was, of course, though he did appreciate their earliness. To be early was to be on time, and to be on time was to be late, after all.
"The corridor on your left, Miss," Lyns called nonchalantly.

It was all simply lovely, she hadn't seen a place this nice at all during her travels. She heard a calm voice from a room on her left. She would have jumped a little if his voice had any more edge on it.
She straightened up and walked in to the other room. It was dim, with beige walls and wood finishings. It was no less lovely than the room before it, and even seemed out of place. She walked in, noticing a bar counter, and a man stood behind it. He had a very serious face, battle worn, but still young. She walked up, still looking around with some trepidation.
"Hello, I...presume you are Lyns Herah?" She almost nodded to herself, he fit the description. She placed her hand on her collarbone, and set her left hand to her side before bowing deeply. It occurred to her that a formal greeting in Cerdra hardly matched that of Vertton or a passing city Callas. Why would it be the same? She awkwardly half-curtseyed, her face displaying uncertainty. "I am Arella Iona, of the Cerdran Sintianic healer's order." It occurred to her that she still had her hand on her collarbone. She dropped it suddenly. "I apologize..." She said, lowering her eyes. "What is..um...a proper greeting in this region?"

Lyns smiled, quietly amused by this girl's flustered state. She was young, a few year younger then he, with very soft features. Cute, in a literal sense of the word. She clearly had traveled great distances, and wanted to make a first impression. He stared awkwardly at her bow for a few moments, before smiling again, this time almost fatherly.
"Please stop bowing, Miss Iona. We are both guests of honor tonight, we need not such formalities." He outstretched his hand. "Lyns, as you already know, apparently. I didn't know my name has spread that quickly." He poured a drink for her, handing it to her gingerly. He nodded, and pointed to her pin.
"Then again, I see you are Sintianic. Been a while since I've been to Cerdra, much less seen that medallion. Hopefully it is well." He said, trying to start a conversation. The melody of the record player echoed in the distance.

Hearing her request, Lyns gave off a light chuckle, before laughing heartily for a few moments, catching his breath, he poured her a drink, still smiling.
"My apologies for laughing. You caught me off guard. Yes, I am Lyns Herah. This is Miss Iona.....Arella." He nodded in her direction, and slid the ug to her. Before returning to Arella.
"That is good. I trust there have been no more wolfpacks threatening the city walls? That wasn't a particularly fun trip....had to drop my daughter off with a Callas Noblewoman. Haggardly woman."

Tobius removed the metal mask he wore during 'business hours' and left the alley he'd stood in, picking his way through the crowds of the city and, eventually, finding his way to, what he believed to be, the meeting place......and it was a bit of a strange scene. A naked blue woman was standing in front of the wooden door, knocking on it expectantly.
Doing a double take, Tobius glanced behind himself, thinking he just got punked, and that a group of men with some of those video machines would come running at him from the bushes saying he was on TMV(Televised Music Viewing). But when no one came running, the thief turned his attention back to Blue, and, more exclusively, a belt that hung at her waist, weighed down at a certain part due to a bag of coin.
Passing by a bespectacled Elven man, Tobius approached, silently arriving beside the, now clearly not human, woman. "Cold?" He questioned in his accented voice, attempting to initiate small talk, and keeping his eyes away from the coin filled pouch.

Joshulia wrote:"Nictitating membrane?" Tobius replied, friendly smile now adorning his face, "Love, you'll have to forgive me but I sort of forgot all those biology lessons back in day so I'm not entirely sure what that means." He glanced at the door, wondering if anyone on the other side could hear their conversation.

Sirthi Wa't'hilia
As a reply to the stranger his confusion, Sirthi felt like it was better to show than try and explain, both because it was easier to simply see than hear an explanation and secondly because Sirthi wasn't that good in explaining something in the surfacedweller's tongue. She looked at the stranger's face "Look in to my eyes." Having said that she waited until his eyes were fixed on hers and then a secondary set of eyelids closed, a set that instead of closing from the top and bottom closed sideways, one that protected her eyes but she could still see through them "nictitating membranes" having said and shown that she opened her nictitating membranes again.

"Okay," Tobius said, an amazed look replaced the smile on his face, "that's a new one. If you don't mind me asking, what exactly are you? I've never seen anyone quite like you before." His eyes widened yet again as a half snake made its way past the group outside and into the bar, what the hell was even going on here?
