It didn't matter though and she knew nothing she could say would change whatever thoughts the people around her had. She heard that those who run the church do horrible things to people they feel aren't natural.. Using fear and the like to control the masses. It was unfortunate for them then that she came into this place. All she wanted to do was reflect on what was and maybe get some sort of guidance from the " gods " that had surely abandoned her.

Continuing his aimless wandering, Shichiro came across an ominous looking church. He stared at it for a bit seeing as sermons were currently being held. It was quite funny that people believed and sort of higher power was watching the state this town was in and letting it continue like this. Maybe it was all a sick joke to somebody upstairs and they just wanted a few laughs at the misfortune of humans. Either way, Shichiro has never been inside of a church before and was rather curious on how sermons took place. Knowing he may or may not find it boring, Shichiro decided he would head into the church, and see what all the fuss was about. As soon as he got in, he could hear what sounds like the murmurs of prayers being offered up to the gods. Poor fools, Shichiro always thought there was a higher power but never relied on them for his own personal faults or problems.

A slight grumble in her stomach caused her to pull out a sandwich from he cloak that covered her body and overall hid her appearance. The sandwich was cured ham and aged cheese on a thick slice of rye bread and some mayo and lettuce. It was a nice wholesome sandwich, probably the best she ever had, only because she was hungry. Taking a bite of the sandwich she began to chew. It was a little on the dry side and so she took out a water sack filled with wine, which she quickly prayed over in order to give it that healthy boost of goodness. Takin a quick swig she was having a grand old time.

He repeated this process for the right side of his body, placing his right hand onto his temple and leaning his upper body to the left to loosen his muscles on the other side of his rib cage, bobbing to the side. Once he was done with that exercise, he leaned his upper body forward in an attempt to touch his toes, straightening out his back and making it as limber as he could. He straightened his body up before leaning backwards as far as he could, bobbing as best as he could but not too much since he didn't want to leave any discomfort when trying to align his spine. He then looked around for an empty spot in the church to take seat to see what all the fuss was about before he spotted a familiar face.

At some point she realized that someone had sat down next to her. Looking over she nearly choked on her food but quickly swallowed it and took a swig of wine to push down the rest of the food. " Oh it's you. How have you been? And what are you doing here? You don't seem like the church going type. " A light giggle spilled from her, it was soft enough not to disturbed those around her but it could still be heard between the two of them.

The woman finally noticed his presence though and turned to greet him. He responded in kind along the lines of, "I've been uh, good. I guess. Wandering around, travelling the eastern part of Fiore, and yeah, i am definitely not the church going type. But on the other hand, I've never been to church so i figured i would give it a try once and see if i can find the miracles of the "Gods" for myself," a slight snarky tone tinged upon the end of his sentence as well as some quiet, bitter laughter. "Still going on with your monster hunting escapades and disturbing whole towns or are you finally relaxing? I'll admit it is strange to find you here but at the same time, not very much so with all the rumors going around about this place." A question Shichiro asked shortly after responding to hers, as well as a remark.

" That's good. Don't count of those miracles if you haven't been doing your due diligence and giving proper praise and such. Gods are fickle and jealous ya know. They don't just go dropping miracles on anyone. " Another giggle another swig she offered up her water sack to her new found friend. If he took it she would smile and let him enjoy what she was, if he didn't she would just take another swig before speaking again. " Oh. I suppose you caught me at a difficult time.. I think I was just killing things in order to compensate for something else going on at the time.. I'm over it now though so I just follow the coin and do what I can to gain strength, no crazy goals or anything just working on me."

Turning back to his female acquaintance, whose name escapes him at the moment, he decided to on the matter. "Yeah well, i had always figured the gods had played favorites which is why not everybody celebrates their existence. I don't need god given miracles anyway, i create my own. Still, i thought I'd give it a go and see what all the fuss was about. All i see, and smell, is desperation." After that comment, he was apparently offered by her a beverage. He was really thirsty but he figured it wouldn't hurt to accept her generous offer. With that, he took the sack from her gently before taking a small sip before handing it back to her. Their conversation would continue, "I see, well, i guess that's nice to know. You're like me in a sense but even i don't think i could go out and exert power like that even if i had my own problems."

"I wasn't exerting my power...You're making it sound like I was just having a temper tantrum or something. " Taking back her drink she downed the last bit of it before stuffing it back into her cloak. The spear she nearly died over was on the other side of her and she quickly grabbed it and stood up. " If anything I was..Just blowing off some steam. You wanna get out of here and go for a drink? Uh Its been awhile.. My name is Ylva. Yours? "

He wiped it quickly with a finger before hearing the rest of her commentary after she had downed all of her drink. "Right, right. Blowing off steam. There's better ways to do that than randomly spooking entire towns but that's none of my business. And yeah, sure. Let's go grab something to eat, though i don't know many spots in this gloomy town. My name is Shichiro, in case you forgot. I'll admit, i didn't remember your name either."

" HEAR YE HEAR YE THE KING HAS A GRAND BALL FOR ALL TO ATTEND. EVEN YOU CRIMINAL SCUM AND RELGIOUS NUTS CAN JOIN THE GRACIOUS FAVOR OUR KING HAS BLESSED US WITH. COME ENJOY THE GIFT TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR. COME ON AND ALL TO CROCUS "
Ylva lowered her spear and looked over to Shichiro. Her face held a perplexed look and she shrugged. " Let's go to that instead.. Sounds like fun. Might be some entertainment and stuff.. Probably better food and drink there. " She led the way out of the church. If he came he came if he didn't she would still go.
