She had ventured off in a hellish area of Oak. Oak was a relatively peaceful city, but all cities had areas that were not so pleasant to most. The young woman found herself on a cold, icy, windy day. The sunny town was usually bright and cheery, but the atmosphere completely matched the dreary disposition of the homeless, beggars, pickpocketers, etc. on the streets.
The travelling beauty was careless but knew she had booked a cheap hotel in the wrong area as she walked the streets. It was too late now. As the woman passed by a man eyeing her a bit too much she knew she had jacked up visiting plans. First encountering homeless children(Clem) and now this?
Too late now.
Chishio made her lonesome, feminine, scantily clad self away towards a pub several blocks away. She could see the lights of the building pop even from a distance, torches stood in front of the building, lighting up the entry. Perhaps, it was for the best after all. The weak mage knew standing on the crime-filled streets in an undeniably lower-class part of Oak in the evening was a bad idea. The woman despite knowing how stubborn she could be, a fact, but regardless could still be easily plucked off the streets in the hands of a foul man. She wasn't that big after all.
She felt someone following her now. Or was it just paranoia? No, same man eyeing her from before. The girl quickened her step and turned a block to the right, travelled down and twisted back to the street she was on before, trying to head to the pub, trying to lose the man. As she quickened, it'd seemed that less and lesser people were out as well. Much wiser people, heading home, but Chishio was still quite a distance from her hotel.
Should she make a run for it or go inside a building?
"Ew......what a creep," she'd mutter to herself finding herself closing the door stupidly behind her in a loud smash. She'd frown and turn around finding herself being welcomed by even more stares, by bigger and brawlier looking men. She was stuck here now. Not sure if she had made the right decision or not, probably even a worse predicament, she'd not meet their leering eyes.
All she could think about is waiting out the night and making her way "home" carefully in a few hours.
God, this was going to be great.
She'd sigh as she stood near the door of the inside building. She'd peer out the window neighbouring the door, cautiously, it was obvious that though her face showed no fear something was wrong.....
Man was gone though, for now. Did she lose him successfully or did he not want to follow her inside? Who knew?
"Welcome!" an older man, gleefully sending her pleasantries for her to come sit near him. He gestured to a barstool. Chishio made her way towards him, again not meeting any eyes- or trying her best not to. Maybe she was just freaking out and giving herself anxiety. Yet, she knew she was the only woman in the building.
She sat directly in front of him, ordered a beer and would just wait an hour or two inside. Hopefully, the creepy man would be gone by then if he wouldn't enter the building.
