Yawning half asleep she would have her hands behind her head. Her fingers would through her hair as her chin tilted up to look up at the sky. What was she going to do in this area? Truly she hasn't spotted a single bar or ramen shop - nothing. She was wearing a long sleeve light blue shirt and normal blue jeans. Her shoes were hiking boots as she would hear a squish from the lightly moist earth. The wind was gentle as her facial expression would show as well as calmness. Arisa looked forward as she wasn't quite sure on what do to. ''I wish I knew this place more.'' she would say to herself as she continued to walk. The land was somewhat dead, tan grass as the winter was brushing against what was once green and beautiful. Slowly she would stop and cornered her eyes to the right to notice there was a slightly alive flower. 'You're a random little fellow.' she thought softly as she shifted her body with her left foot to then bend down in front of it. Softly she would touch a petal which it then colorized back to its livelihood. ''You won't live long, but...you might as well enjoy what you can. Right?'' she spoke to the flower and made a faint smile.
A caring soul among them all

Ray's body shuddered as he stepped on a twig that made an unnaturally loud noise for it's size. Taking in a sharp breath, he picked up his pace again, running now on what seemed to be the hilltop. He was definitely an odd sight in the tan surroundings, the once-green grass having now dried up due to the winters. There was still a harsh nip in the air, Ray feeling it all the more because of his choice of attire, which was just a loose white tunic with a thick cord belt in order to hold it into place. He wasn't used to wearing shoes or the type of clothes people wore on this mainland because of his time as a slave, and, to be really honest, he liked the kind of freedom it gave him to move. His feet were slightly brown because of the soft ground on certain parts, and his muscular body was pumped and sweating.
After what seemed like an eternity, Ray saw a figure bent over in the not so far distance. The person was wearing blue, different shades of it, and it did not seem like a tunic. Ray noticed that the body type was of a females, and as he got closer he saw the feminine face covered by light brown hair. The woman seemed to be talking to a flower which was regaining colour through her touch, puzzling Ray to no end. Curious, he stopped about half a meter away from her, and wiped the sweat off his forehead with the shoulder of his tunic, his red hair not entirely matted due to his body's constant electric charge. Breathing slightly heavy, Ray put his hands to his sides, and willed his deep voice to come forth.
"Is it custom in this land to be talking to flowers, ma'am?"

Her eyes would look at the flower as the cold would shrivel the flower. 'There you go...' she would think and frowned a bit. Her eyes studied the flower and then the nature that it was within. Her right hand would go towards the dirt to poke her pointing finger within. ''Not moist obviously...but...'' she would say and then heard some steps from afar. Her head would turn quickly to then see a rather very tall man. Built like some god in a way with red short hair. His eyes were quite concentrating looking as he stared towards her calmly. Awkwardly she would stand up and bent a little to dust off her legs of dirt. After that her head would tilt up as she stood up straight, crossing her arms against her chest. ''I was more talking to myself, but yea. I'm not from here. My magic lets me talk and understand all things that are nature.'' she would explain to make it less weird. True there were crazy people who talked to walks and stuff, but truly never understood them. Her magic though gifted her these things and she hoped he'd understand. If not then that would be his problem...

[i]Magic.[i] The woman had spoken about magic, and how it allowed her to talk and understand nature-related things. Ray was very new to magic, having seen no existence of it until that fated day which had changed his life. He'd then devoted his time to learning about this power, this seemingly infinite power with possibilities no one could dream of. Everyone seemed to have a different magic so far, as he'd seen, and he had read texts on people having more than one form of magic as well. Ray raised his right hand, and studied it as he willed a spark to come forth and dance around his fingers. The spark would then glow harshly and shoot up, wherein it dissipated into the air. His own magic had made him more aware of lightning and electricity, and his body was almost always charged, so he'd have bits of paper and what not sticking to him, annoyingly enough.
She'd also spoken about her not being from around here, and Ray felt a connect in the sense that he too, was a stranger in this strange land. As far as he was concerned, he was from no land whatsoever, spending almost all his life on the ocean, bending to the will of his masters. He sighed lightly, and let his hand drop to his side again, his sharp red eyes focusing on the woman's brown ones.
"I too am not from here, ma'am. This magic you have is very fascinating. I'm sorry, I didn't quite introduce myself. My name is Ray."

This land had it's own share of fascinating food and diabolic drinks, some of which Ray had tried and loved, but had stayed away from lest he got addicted to them. He then looked at the woman's face, as if to judge whether he could trust her or not. He took in a deep breath, and then spoke.
"Sure, I don't mind heading out to get something, if you know where we can go. Also, I haven't really caught your name, ma'am."

"Hello Arisa, it's nice to meet you too. And yes, we shall.", said Ray as they neared a massive opening in the plain which was full of stalls, no doubt for the travellers that had come here for the tournament happening nearby. Delicate scents wafted through the air, with the occasional overpowering of fire and meat. This stalls seemed to be a medley of various things, from a distance, as Ray could tell by the differences in color and the hustle bustle of people from one stall to another. Upon arriving closer, Ray looked about for a place where they could sit down, noticing a bench not to far away. Making a mental note of it, Ray then looked towards Arisa.
"So, what do you feel like having today?"

A shock of memory from once upon a time came through. The area was filled with floating lights in the shape of spheres. People in beautiful kimono's wandering around as they all laughed together. There she was standing beside her mother as the girl with pink/red hair beside the man who the girl represented. Was that her father? Her heart string started to break till she then heard the voice of Ray.
''H-huh? Oh...'' she snapped out of whatever memory flashback she was dealing with and looked at him. ''Dumplings sound amazing.'' she would say with a sweet happy smile. Part of her wanted to cherish this feeling. The feeling like she wasn't alone in her heart, even if it was with this stranger. She would stop walking though as to have them walk beside each other. Of course if Ray decided to slow down or go faster so they didn't, she would understand. Arisa tried to ignore the envious feeling she felt while watching families together, couples hand-in-hand and so on. ''What would you like, Ray?'' she would question softly and sweetly, tilting her head up to look up at him as they walked slowly together.

He then realised that she was walking alongside him, practically next to him, and on pure instinct, Ray grasped her hand with his own, and bent down to kiss her cheek. Reddening mere seconds after doing that, Ray looked away, and merely stated, "I must go now", before turning around and running out of the clearing, away from all this. He'd messed up real bad.

Thump thump, thump thump.~
Her heart was beating fast as she felt Ray's hand entwined with hers. Next after that she would then feel a pair of lips against her cheek, making her heart beat faster. Her face would redden, eyes widened with shimmering sparkles, but before she could truly enjoy this moment he would take his hand back. The feeling truly felt as if she was stuck in a block of ice, finally feeling the flames of warmth to them be put back into the freezing winters. What was this feeling in her heart and why did she lust for more? Swiftly she would turn around to look up at him, but it was too late as he was gone. Why did he leave her like that? Finally she would just stand there in the dark as the answers to her questions would remand a mystery.
