Trying to shake off the darkening of his mood, he took a sip of his soda with one hand while holding onto his fishing pole with the other. No bites had caught his attention since he had begun that morning, but the blonde did remember how his father had always preached patience when it came to the fine art of fishing. As he set down his bottle Rowan smiled. He missed his family.

Luna walked along the riverbed, wearing a pale blue turtleneck sweater, beige miniskirt with black thick stockings and black ankle boots. It was pretty cold out, but the sun was shining in the sky, so it gave the chilly winter air, a bit of warmth.
As she walked, she noticed someone straight ahead of her, who seemed to be fishing. She was somewhat curious as to whether they could even catch anything in this weather. Out of sheer curiosity, Luna decided to approach them. As she got closer, she noticed it was a blonde hair man. Luna thought it to be rude to not say anything, so, when she got closer, she greeted him. "Hello there. Are you able to catch anything?"

A voice caught his ear, and he turned to see a familiar face approaching. He gave a polite wave and a welcoming smile as Luna approached. "Not a bite yet, Lady Luna," He replied. "But I'm sure something will come along soon enough. One need only be patient." He looked to his line for emphasis, but found it still had yet to move. His smile did not falter, however, for now he had some company. "Would you care to join me? I know it's only been a short while since we met in the guild hall, but I always appreciate the company of a friend and fellow guild member." To make his point he grabbed a second soda from his ice bucket and held it out to the young woman. Rowan didn't know much about her, but he was willing to spend some time learning.

The blonde haired man happened to be her guild mate, Rowan Vincent whom Luna had just met the other day for the first time in their guild hall. He was very well-mannered which Luna liked. He offered to let Luna join him. Seeing as she had nothing better to do, she decided to take him up on his kind offer. "Sure, I'll join you, thanks for the offer. Its very nice of you." She said with a kind smile. Luna crouched down. Due to her wearing a mini skirt, she couldn't bring herself to sit on the ground.
"So, Rowan, how long have you been in the guild for? I only joined half a year ago and haven't met many of the people in the guild yet." She asked him. Luna was genuinely curious about her fellow guild mates, and seeing as one was next to her, she felt it would be good to ask some questions.

"Might I ask, Luna," He began again as he took up his rod from the ground. "What brought you into the arms of Lamia Scale? You'll forgive me for saying, but you don't quite seem like the type to take to such a rough and tumble place as this." He said his last words with a bit of apprehension. Many people said the same about him when he joined ranks with the Lamias, but he had been able to shirk off such words with ease due to his particular skill set and charm. Rowan simply hoped he had not offended Luna in any way.

Luna took the soda Rowan handed her and opened it to take a sip. It turned out, he had been in the guild much less longer than her. Rowan went on to talk about how in his younger years he wasn't aware of his talent for magic.
Luna simply listened with content, until Rowan caught her off guard with his question about how she came to join Lamia Scale. She hadn't really talked about herself to anyone in the guild or anyone at all really. She felt somewhat ashamed of what she did. Running away like that, without even a goodbye.
She simply looked down at the soda can she had in her hands, fiddling with it. Keeping her head looking down. "Truth is... I ran away from home in Era, and at some point ended up here in Orchidia. I didn't join Lamia Scale at first when I arrived, just took on odd jobs here and there." She paused for a moment before continuing. "Eventually, I found my way to Lamia Scale and decided to join on a whim." She didn't bother looking up, just kept her head looking down at her soda can, before taking another sip.

"I grew up in a small village not terribly far from here. When I was old enough to think I was ready for the real world I left to go seek the fortunes I had always heard about in Crocus and Era." He paused. "I didn't realize back then how cruel the world, and quite a few people in it, were. I'm sure you've noticed that, like you, I don't seem like the type to join Lamia Scale either. With my upscale dress and style of speech some say I belong in Blue Pegasus." He laughed derisively. "I ran away from two lives before I found who I was meant to be. So I believe I can understand where you are coming from better than most, Lady Luna." Rowan allowed his thoughts to settle after that. His eyes then opened wide and he looked at Luna with a sheepish grin. "I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to drone on about myself like that."

Luna raised her head, making eye contact now with Rowan while she listened to him speak about himself. She was surprised to hear he had also ran away from home. It made her a tiny bit happy to know someone had similar circumstances to her own.
Once he said his piece, he looked at Luna with a sheepish grin, and apologized for droning on. Luna shook her head. "No, its fine. Thank you for sharing with me. I'm glad to know someone else shares similar circumstances." She said with a kind smile before taking another sip of her soda.
Hearing about Rowan's circumstances made her feel a sort of kinship towards him, something she hadn't had in awhile. "By the way, you don't have to keep calling me 'Lady Luna' Just Luna is fine. It just feels a tad bit weird to me. Let's be friends, from one runaway to another."

He also understood her hesitation at the nomenclature he had used to address her. Most people tended to be at least slightly uncomfortable with the title the gentleman placed before their name. He could understand. In the culture he had been bred into a gentleman from he had found most high brow individuals desired to be addressed in a more formal manner than they were usually afforded by the so called "common" man. It was one of the few habits Rowan retained from his time in the royal city, but one he was still comfortable with retaining. He gave a nod to Luna. "But of course, Luna. You do me a kind service by joining me in friendship. You won't be disappointed in your choice of companionship, I guarantee it." He gave her a broad smile, and with his free hand he picked up his soda and offered a toast of sorts. "To friendship. May ours last for many years to come."

Luna was relieved when Rowan stopped calling her 'Lady Luna'. He said she wouldn't be disappointed in her choice of companionship. Luna nodded. "I'm sure I won't be." They then made a toast with their soda cans to their new friendship with one another. "To Friendship!" Luna couldn't help smile, brightly. After all, it was her first friend since coming to Orchidia.
Luna stood up and stretched her arm to the sky. She felt a chilled wind pass by which made her feel cold. Drinking an ice cold soda hadn't helped either. Luna looked over to her new friend. "I think I'm going to take off now, its gotten a bit too cold for comfort here. I'll see you around Rowan." Luna said as she waved goodbye to her new friend with a smile before walking off.
