Travelling/Job Searching (Kyros/Ariyelle)

[Ariyelle Lavat]

((PM to join?))

It was getting to be fairly late in the afternoon in the town of _____, and for most it meant starting to close up shop for the day and washing up for dinner with their families or heading down to the local pub.

For a young lady like Ariyelle, though, it was becoming increasingly difficult to find a way of transportation from this town to the next heading westward and she wasn't quite keen on travelling on foot at night. Alone. Okay, the 'alone' part wasn't what bothered her. It was the hassle she nervously predicted she'd get for being a young woman wandering the roads alone at night.

She sighed, thinking for awhile she was going to have to end up just...staying the night here. And she was running out of money.

"I would have thought that if someone as big and horrific as 'Duo' was around, I'd have more reasons to make and sell potions, especially with the famed apothecary in this region out of commission," she couldn't help but grumble to herself as she marched down the main street, probably to the pub, head down and not paying attention to where she was going.



((because setting up to walk into people is cruise control for cool))

[Kyros Forthe]

Kyros entered the lovely town of _______, a couple of hours earlier. After he got back from Unda, he decided to visit each of the fort town to make sure they were stocked up, and what was needed to protect the cities and states were being fulfilled.

Kyros wandered down the street with papers of requests and inventory, not really paying attention, as he was followed by two guards. He then bumped into Ariyelle, making him fall backward. "Opps." Kyros said, slightly embarrassed for bumping into a person. "I'm terribly sorry."

[Ariyelle Lavat]

Ariyelle bounced back as she collided with the prince but didn't fall. At first she was going to just shrug it off and march past him and chalk it up to him being clumsy but once she got ahold of his regal attire her eyes widened in fear.

"O-oh no! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I..." her knees gave way, making her fall to the ground before the prince, "y-your majesty. Please pardon my clumsiness!"
she eyed the guards with him, praying they wouldn't arrest her for potentially harming the royal.

[Kyros Forthe]

"No no, it's fine." Kyros said as he got up. The guards stood as kinda shocked, and one tightened his grip on his spear. Kyros looked at them and nodded at them.
"Not a lot of people call me 'your majesty'." He smiled at her, "I didn't hurt you did I? I mean it doesn't look like I did, but I would feel bad if I did."

[Ariyelle Lavat]

Ariyelle stared at him for a moment and tried to figure out why one wouldn't call the royal "your majesty". did they refer to him as something else then? or did no one respect him enough? She wasn't quite aware of how things worked on this side of Allorum, let alone Crepusculum the country.

Regardless, she shook her head and with a sheepish smile replied, "o-oh no, your majesty. I'm fine. y-your country is very beautiful. I mean...um..."
She blinked, pausing as she realized how stupid she sounded.

"I mean I'm new here, uh travelling...s-sorry, I'll be on my way you have plenty to do I'm sure."

Even though she attempted to excuse herself she seemed to fidget and wait for his permission to take her leave.

[Kyros Forthe]

"Oh, you are new the kingdom?" Kyros said, as he gave the paper work to one of the guards, the guard nearly losing his footing while getting it, "I could show you around if you want a guide."

"Uh, sire, may I have a word with you?" The older female guard said, taking Kyros away from Ariyelle and the younger male guard holding the paperwork.

Kyros walked over to the side with the guard. She looked furiated as she spoke to him, "Are you out of your mind? What if she is a Duo spy? We can't be in the same situation that Unda is in."

"Will you relax Eklaw?" Kyros said, "I am pretty sure she isn't a Duo spy, and if she is, I can protect myself." He then shook his sword and looked at her, "You and Bevco can head back to the estate, I will join you there." Eklaw tried to protest, but Kyros walked over to Ariyelle.

"So, did you want a guide though this lovely city of _______?" Kyros asked her.

[Ariyelle Lavat]

'O-oh no. No guide, I don't want a tour of the place, I wanted to leave it...'

Ariyelle blinked as Kyros offered to give her a tour of the town, almost grateful as one of his guards as concerned as they looked took him away to hopefully talk him out of it. However to what seemed to be to the guard's dismay Kyros shortly returned. Oh boy...

"I...I mean...that's an incredibly generous offer you make, Milord," Ariyelle did another quick bow again to him, her face flushed, "I'm grateful, I assure you. I would...I would gladly accept but I wish not to intrude in your business."

If anything, maybe there was a way he could help. He was the prince afterall, if she could show graciousness to him and get on his good side, she could very well get a job anywhere!

[Kyros Forthe]

"Pff, I've worked all day. I can use a break." Kyros said to her, with a big old grin. "I mean if you want to get a meal or something, I could eat." He rubbed his stomach, and looked around, "It's your call. We can do something else."

[Ariyelle Lavat]

Ariyelle stared at him for the longest time before she let out a soft giggle, twirling a piece of her hair around her finger nervously as she smiled at him.

"I-if you are hungry, milord, I would be honoured to spend some time with you for dinner," she answered sweetly, "it'd be nice to see what kind of specialties Crepusculum has, and take in the sights. I hear there are many wonderful pubs here, just on the outside of town..."

She wasn't sure of the information she'd been given. It was true that she'd heard it, though she thought the pub on the outskirts of this town looked pretty sketchy. She was new though, and didn't know.

[Kyros Forthe]

"Well there is a really nice one just within town limit. The owner used to be the chef for my father, and is always asking me to come to his resturant." Kyros said as he pointed to the north. "If we hurry, we can make it before it turns dark. And of course it will be my treat."

As the two left, Eklaw sighed, as Bevco looked at her. "What just happened?" Bevco asked Eklaw, and she looked at him and said, "Well with all that is going on, even before him taking the crown, Kyros never seem to have had many friends. I think the prince just made a new friend."
"Aren't you nervous that she might be working for Duo?" Bevco turned his head looking at her.
"No, Kyros does have a good sense about people's nature. Still, I'm not having the future king die on my watch. Head back to the estate, I will follow them."
Bevco nodded and walked back to the estate, as Eklaw followed the two from a distance.

Kyros finally found the restaurant, Mijidna, the place had a pleasing yet simple look to it. "So does this look like a good enough place to eat or should we try somewhere else?" Kyros asked as he looked at the restaurant.

[Ariyelle Lavat]

Ariyelle looked at the restaurant that Kyros pointed out to her and smiled. It was very quaint, but maybe that's what she liked the best about it. And if the prince knew the owner, then it couldn't have been that bad of a place.

"I..I'm...I think this will be quite lovely, milord," she answered politely, giving him a warm smile as she skipped forward and pulled the door open for him. It probably looked silly for a woman to do so for a man, but the way she saw it was she was a commoner out with the prince.

"After you~" she sang happily. She didn't think she'd be...well, having fun.

[Kyros Forthe]

Kyros walked in, and walked up to the head waiter. The waiter looked at him and asked "How can I help you?"
"Can you see if Jacques is here?" Kyros asked, making the waiter rolled his eyes and walked into the kitchen. The man that came out had the look of the average Santo-Lucian
"Oi! If it isn't our lovely prince Kyros!" Jacques said as he walked over to him, "Table for one, monsieur?"

"Actually, table for me and my friend." Kyros said as he pointed at Ariyelle.
"Oi, lovely." Jacques said as he clapped his hands, the head waiter came back out, "Take dem to our best table!"
The waiter rolled his eyes, and took them to the porch of resturant. The waiter pulled out a chair for Kyros, and then for Ariyelle.

[Ariyelle Lavat]

Ariyelle was only too excited when she saw a pale-skinned chef emerge from the kitchen, indeed looking like a highly esteemed, genuine Santo-Lucian chef.

Alas, she was highly disappointed when it turned out the man was a total fake. She could tell by his trying-too-hard accent and how he sounded more like a southern Tuonian nobody with his arbitrarily tossed around 'Oi'.

She wasn't going to say anything in the presence of the prince out of respect, but she knew better.



((Oui, honey. Nice try, but he's Kazan's brother from the looks of it.))

[Kyros Forthe]

[[If his brother was from Santo-Luce]]
Kyros looked at Ari and then asked the big question, "I apologize for not asking sooner, but what is your name, if I may know since you seem to know mine." He sat with his back straight, from years of royal training.

Eklow walked into the resturant, and then walked up to the waiter. "Can you get me a seat that is in viewing distant of the prince?"
"I could, but that will cost you." The waiter said, as his hand was sticking out.
She looked at him with infuriated eyes, "You know that I am a royal guard of the Crepusculum royal family."
"Saying that won't mean you can get closer. How do I know that you aren't an assassin that is posing as a guard?"
Eklow keep glaring at him, as she handed him a small bag of money, and then he led her to a table where she could see them, but they could not see her.

[Ariyelle Lavat]

((TROLOLOLOL))

Ariyelle watched Kyros and shifted herself habitually to attempt to follow his movements, seeing him act as proper as he did made her feel like she was a lot lesser to look at. And really, she was, but she didn't want to look so bad that she brought down the prince's appearance by having the posture of a slob.

"A-Ariyelle, Milord. My name is Ariyelle Lavat, a travelling alchemist and botanist from Alberisato," she smiled sheepishly, feeling like that last chunk she could have done without as he probably didn't care much for it, "I...I've heard great things about Crepusculum."

And that she definitely could have done without. She was wrecking everything with her stupid mouth! Stupid stupid stupid...
