The arrival to the large city was not easy for the young Lily, but as soon as she saw how truly immense and large Astera was, she knew that she was no longer a small time roamer. She felt like she truly made her first steps in the world and it made a small smile form on her face. She had made it and now she could truly explore Fiore to it's fullest! The excitement of being in a new town took over her and she would do exactly that. Her first trip was down through the twisting pathways of the area, learning where each little landmark was and seeing if there wasn't any inns for her to stay at. Unlike Hargeon, Lily was completely new to Astera. She was like a fish out of water, in unknown grounds. This would normally make anyone nervous, yet for Lily, she was excited. This was the first time she was truly excited about exploring new areas. Though... it didn't stop her from getting lost.

It seemed as if she had took a wrong turn and ended up in a part of town that was filled with pathways that all looked the same. This caused her to feel anxious and a little scared. "Oh dear... W-which way did i come from again? This must be the center of Astera... Gods, there is so many people... and so many paths. It's like a giant maze... N-no... Calm down.. it's fine... I have to calm myself. H-hello?! A-anyone around that can help guide me through this labyrinth?" She'd cry out, shouting out for someone to aid her. She needed help and guidance through this place, otherwise she might end up wandering the twisting paths of Astera for what might feel like an eternity.

It was a nice day for a stroll and maybe some much-needed reading just so he is up to date on the most recent of events that have transpired. Part of him wanted to head to Era and follow through with the plan he made weeks ago. It still amazed him how so many people could just become accustomed to rooming with a group that could have taken over the whole land but sometimes it's best to let sleeping dogs lay.

While he was making his way back to his current hideout he heard some calling out for help which was odd given most people in this part only spoke the common tongue. "It would help if you spoke the language," he said walking up behind the girl with his hands tucked in his back pockets, she sure wasn't hiding anything with her guild mark on full display but then again lights guilds are always like that. "If you speak any Fiorian I'd use that to help you," he told the girl as he examined in her to see if she was the type to start anything. From his exam, he could tell she was the type to be tricked without much effort.

What a strange fellow, Lily thought to herself. She wasn't quite sure what to think. She was quite fluent in fiorian speech and had no trouble talking to others but she could've easily been mistaken for asking for assistence with speech rather then guidance in this dence town. As she turned around, she'd take a bow before smiling softly, chuckling a little as she'd look give him a small look from top to bottom. He seemed to be a nice gentleman. Rather young, maybe a little rugged but not coming off as anything but nice. She decided it best to try and explain her situation rather then leave it to a wild guess.

She'd take a small breath, look the young man in the eyes and speak in a soft tone. "i am quite fine with Fiorian speech. i am merely... unfamiliar with Astera. I have been housed in Hargeon for the past two years, never setting foot outside of there. You could say i am a not used to how large these types of cities are. They are far different then my home country. As for introductions, you may call me by the name Lily." Her tone did hint a small bit of annoyance but that was to be expected when it came to new places. Her dress was clearly not made from anything in Fiore or even supplied from any of the shops. If the young gentlemen could identify the origin of the dress, it would hint to where Lily was originally from itself.

"are you native to this town or... would you say that this is your first time here? i need directions towards the inn so that i may rest for the night. I had traveled on foot to get here, so I require some rest on a comfortable bed. Mayhaps you could be my guide for a short while? it would help me so very much."
Lily would keep her distance of 5 feet constant, not moving around the young man and keeping her tone as gentle as she could. She could feel a small breeze passing by. Maybe it was a sign of good fortune or just merely a sign of a good meeting. She wasn't quite sure as of yet but she felt confident that this young man could be of some help for the time she was staying in Astera.

From Azure's point of view, it seemed like the girl had never even seen a crowd before but then again he wasn't really one to talk on the matter "It's not every day that I meet someone that can understand my mother's language. My name is Bedlam nice to meet you Lily." something that was true he hardly ever spoke it unless it was to command his summons which was fine but at the same time was rather sad as well. It wasn't that he didn't trust her with his true name it would just be better if she didn't know it for the time being who knows maybe she would be the exception?

The girl seemed like the type that didn't really fight or didn't give the impression that she didn't anyway "I would be more than happy to help you though I do have a small request of my own to ask of you." the day had really become an interesting one that was certain. The inns were hard to find given the nature of Astera but once you become accustomed to the layout finding everything was much easier to find. As she followed behind him he thought back to when his birth mother would teach him about her home and how she always wanted him to visit one day but that was back in his old Life.

He looked at his heart pin on his jacket and place it in his pocket "So your part of a guild that must be nice always wanted to be part of one." part of him always wanted to join a light guild but at the same time they had a way to much red tape for certain things.

It seems as if the young gentleman was suprised at how well-versed her understanding of other languages were. Sure, she wasn't able to speak all languages nor could she understand some variety of complex words in those languages but she was at least able to attempt to use the common speech around the area to try and make conversation. Upon hearing the name of the young gentleman, Lily would do a curtsy and smile, symbolizing their meeting and keeping it to memory.

As they both walked around, Lily would make note of what the young gentleman was saying, listening closely as she'd want to make sure she didn't miss a single detail. Her heels would click with each step, her eyes dashing to each new building that would come in view as she'd make a mental map in her mind. Upon being pointed about being in Blue Pegasus, her expression would change from a gleeful one to a little disheartened.
"You could say it's nice. There is always good food for you after training or a mission. There are friendly faces but... You could say i feel like i am not feeling like i am doing the guild a service. Blue Pegasus... is different from other guilds. I can't say more then that. J-just know, I'm currently having my own thoughts about the guild and that is that. Do you know of any good cafes? I'd wish to thank you for the tour of the area... as in.. well, I believe it necessary i show gratitude for your kindness, Sir Bedlam"

Her speaking pattern was that of a wavering and mildly scared young lady near the start but would change to a bit more cheerful and positive. Her expression too would lighten up as she'd put on a smile to try and keep the mood up. She really didn't want to spoil it with her own problems being the main focus. She was a little tired and needed a good cup of tea to lighten her mood and she wanted to trust this Bedlam person. He was being so kind to a young lady that he didn't know, so she felt it only kind enough to try and trust him. After all, if it wasn't for him, She'd still be lost in the town center.

As she spoke about the guild he could tell that wasn't adjusting to the guild all too well which was common even for someone her age. Part of him wanted to exploit crack in her armor but it wasn't really enough to work with even if it was good gossip, "I'm sure that everything will smooth itself over given some time." it wasn't something that was totally untrue given everyone has their own adjustment periods when they join a guild regardless of which side it was on. it was nice of Lily to offer such a thing but at the same time, he could tell that she was doing her best to keep the subject far away from the real problem.

"I hear that there's one just around here with some really good Parfait that I've wanted to try for some time but you really don't have to do such a thing all." it was a nice thought but unwanted currently maybe at some other point down the line he would meet her again. The in that he was leading her to was one that was fairly priced and was the place for guild remembers to often visit when they arrive.

The gentleman seemed to be quite nice from what she could tell from his speech. There wasn't a hint of anything that would make Lily think otherwise, even if some parts of her were always thinking of that situation occuring. She tried to qwell those thoughts away as it wasn't necessary to think of them. She simply just listened and tried to clear her head, and upon hearing the world parfait, she'd pause and stop in her tracks. It was as if she was suddenly stuck in time, with her expression turning to that of a excited child, wanting a snack from their parents.

As if driven by that new longing, she'd grab Bedlam by both his hand and stare at him in the eyes, her own shining with expectations and want. "Take me to that cafe right this instant! I must know how what a parfait is and taste it! I do not care if it costs a lot nor the distance, but I must take part in tasting that treat!" Lily would request with her tone being that of a very giddy and excited young girl, her body language perfectly showing her excitement as she couldn't keep still.

She had never tried anything like a parfait. All she knew about it was that it was a very flavourable desert that had a variety of different toppings, flavourings, all while tucked into a tasty covering. Just the thought alone made her all the more excited to visit such a cafe with that sort of snack. She knew that she was acting like a child but she simply couldn't help herself. She had a very big sweet tooth and, thanks to Bedlan telling her of such a treat, she just needed to see if it was worth the hype she was building up for it.

As the girl took hold of his hands and demanded that he take her to the cafe that he mentioned though he did have to give her points for her determination to go he could use this as a chance to learn more about Blue Pegasus and some of their other members that he couldn't track down "If that's what you really want who am I to get in your way." he told her slipping his hands out of her grasp. Her excitement was understandable but he wasn't really a big fan of others touching him.

The two change their destination to the cafe as Lily had wanted them to it was as though he gained a little sister throughout this exchange from the way that she was acting with him. The more child-like side of his mind had started to take a liking to her even if it was for something like cafe sweets. while on their way to the cafe he had lead them down the same route that he would use when had to exchange info, as luck would have it someone was waiting for him.

Azure didn't really want to deal with anything work-related so signaled for the man to leave before they got any closer to them "I hear that this place also has some of the best-baked goods in the whole area." he mentioned as they approached the cafe, the smell of freshly brewed coffee filled the air along with the faint scent of baked goods. Not wanting to be in the little lady's way he moved for to the side in case she was the type to rush into a place. Part of him wanted to rush in but then he would have to break the act that he's put up till now which would have been for nothing even if the food did smell really good.

As the smell rushed into her noes, Lily would enter the cafe very quickly and look at all of the pastries, bread and all the drinks that were on display and would instantly have sparkles in her eyes. She was so amazed by how many pastries were currently available in Fiore, and the fact she could try any of this?! Holy lord, her sweet tooth was craving all of it! She could barely contain herself and go back to her more mature state, if even since her entire body was shaking in anticipation. Looking at the menu didn't help her stop from going back to her younger mind set. All the selections certainly just make her want to indulge in it!

Ordering the milk tea and a custom parfait that was chocolate with whipcream and strawberries, Lily would set herself down at a table near the door, looking over to Bedlam with a very large smile, her eyes still shining with radient innocence and joy, and it was almost too much for most people.
"Why didn't anyone tell me back in Caelum that Fiore had the widest selection of pastries, biscuits and all things tea?! This is truly heaven for me. Thank you oh so much for informing me on this place, Sir Bedlam! The smells, the auroma of all the tea, coffee and pastries... the atmosphere... even the decorations and design of this cafe screams to me! I must make this cafe my own special spot from here on out!" Lily spoke with the most joyful tone she could, her smile wide and her eyes showing her appreciation and joy. It was as if her mature self had vanished and in it's place was a truly innocent and cheerful girl that loved sweets and couldn't sit still.

Even as the her order arrived, she just couldn't stop herself from appreciating the smells and the look of each item, as if it was just like a piece of fine art. As she took her first bite of the parfait she ordered, her expression turn to complete bliss as the flavour melted in her mouth, her hands quivering as she took each bite slowly. This was truly heaven for the young girl and she couldn't feel more happy if she tried. This cafe was now her safe haven, her favourite spot in Fiore.

Azure found that Lilly was nothing more than a child masquerading around as a teen as he watched her enter the cafe and race around the place like it was a candy store which was funny to watch so it would be safe to say that he chuckled a bit. He followed in behind her and made his way to the counter and made his order, the cafe was nice given its size and location as his order was called he took it to the table that she claimed.

As she went on about the cafe and thanking him for all the help "It's no problem at all information is just easy to come by is all." everything in the cafe smelled really good but he had to restrain himself less they have two children running around the cafe. "Tell me did you live in Caelum for long?" he asked holding his teacup the more she talked about as brief as it was made part of him want to know more about it even if it wasn't much. He sipped some of his tea and placed it back on the table even though he did mention the cafe he didn't think she would act like this.

Lily would munch on her parfait as slowly as she could to enjoy the taste of it as long as possible, as the newly found treat was the best thing she had tasted. When Bedlam asked if she lived in Caelum long, she'd let out a very soft breath and tap on her pendant over her chest. The pendant itself wasn't anything to amazing but it had a family crest of one of the families of Caelum's more powerful families.

"I lived most of my life back home in Caelum. This pendant is all i got from my mother, according to the orphanage owner. She said the crest itself isn't that important and that i shouldn't care about social standings. All i know about my mother and father are that they wanted me to be have a better life and that's why they left me in the orphanage. Politics and all that is all too much for me anyway... so I'm grateful that they let me have a more unique start to life. Still... I do wish that I could see my mother and father at least once in my life. I'm sorry if I dragged that on for too long... It's just that no one has every really asked me about home so... I got carried away."
Lily responded with a somber tone, putting her treat down as she'd stare out of the window and sigh.

She truly did miss the playground and the other children back home but she wanted to persue a life of knighthood. Lily knew that it was the better choice in the matter as getting an early start in the life meant that she could get stronger and be able to protect the people that matter most, right? Even now, that thought was going through her head and yet she couldn't answer that question. Was she really doing alright on her own right now and actually going towards her goal? Only time could tell. That was the only answer she could give at the moment. Her longing eyes just gazed out towards the city and her smile would fade to that of a worried expression.

While they enjoyed the cafe but when he had asked about her home something must have hit a cord within the young lady as she fiddled with her pendant for a few minutes before speaking. "Oh I see growing up without a family must have been rather rough but I'm sure that they would be happy with the results from their choice." he could tell that she wasn't really fond of talking about this topic which made him question a few things about her but those were things that he could get into after they parted ways. Normally he would try and dig deeper into the subject but he knew that it would lead nowhere but she went on to apologize to him "Think nothing of it really I Never grew up there myself so any information about it is helpful." he looked at the pendant and memorized it for his research notes

The day had only just made to noon and there was still so much left to do given that he now had to track down his contact that showed up before. Not wanting to just have tea he ordered some tarts for the both of them.

Lily didn't pay much attention to the tart in front of her, as if she lost her appetite after talking about her home, her eyes still staring out of the window, sighing softly as she placed her pendant back down the front of her dress. Her enthusiasm seemed to be much lower now thanks to her thoughts of home making her miss the orphanage and yet she knew she couldn't return there.. not until she had gotten her goal here in Fiore. Part of her felt like Bedlam was eyeing up her pendant for his own wants but she'd brush that aside for the mean time. For now, she just got up off her chair and left the cafe, paying her side of the meal before waiting outside the cafe for Bedlam.

"I shouldn't have talked so much of home... why must I be such... an idiot half the time? He might be kind but... I need to keep my past to myself... at least for the mean time. It's not like anyone will really understand it... or even care. I'll go after Bedlam shows me to the inn. That should be enough for the day..."
Lily spoke to herself, keeping her voice low to not let anyone catch what she was saying. Her back was leaning firmly against the wall of the building to the right of the cafe, with her body turned away from said cafe, her hand covering her heart. All she wanted to do now was just go to the inn and forget the rest of the day. Seemed as if talking about her past really got to her.

Azure finished his start within three bites but it seemed like Lily wasn't in the mood for any more sweets at the moment given the way she talked about her home it was almost like he first regained his memories and couldn't understand his brother's actions, he could understand why she may be feeling down at this point in time. His child-like side felt as though they could understand one another while his other half was more so focused on getting back to their task that was pinned due to her. Lilly didn't seem like she would be sharing anything else so getting anything about her guild was out. Azure reached across the table taking her tart and eating in two bites and then dusting off the crumbs from his clothes.

Not wanting to stay and watch the girl pout about her family/life drama the informant stood up from the table and made a suggestion "Alrighty then too the inn we go unless you want to stay awhile longer?" a fair question given that she could just drown any bad feelings that she was having with more sweets or coffee. Even though it started out as an act his child-like side actually took a liking to her which was fine as they most likely wouldn't meet her again unless the faiths had other things in store for them.

Was Bedlam Psychic or something?! Lily was sure she was whispering to herself about wanting to go to the inn. Sure, her body was looking a little exhausted and her legs were shaking but was she really that transparant?! Lily would lower her head before nodding her head, taking Bedlam's hand and follows him to the inn, all the while keeping her head low and sighs.
"I'm sorry for being in such a bad mood, Bedlam... Home is a rough topic. A-and I didn't want to drag you down. You seem like one of the nicer people around here and... I just need some rest. Travelling and sleeping on the rough ground for the past few nights isn't pleasant. I need a soft, comfortable bed to lay in and relax. Nature and I do get along but i require a matress for the best of sleep."

Lily would keep her tone somewhat low as she'd grip Bedlam's hand tightly. It was as if she trying to act like a little sister who needed a bit of comfort after having a big fall or something like that. She wasn't necessarily doing it on purpose, but she wouldn't be lying if she said she would appreciate a little pick-me-up after her little emotional torment release. Even as the two got into very close walking distance of the inn, Lily would keep her grip tight on Bedlam's hand, her breathing slow and her eyes a little irritated from tears that were going down her cheeks

Seeing that Lily had decided to head to the inn he didn't really see any reason why he couldn't finish the little persona that he has built up with her. She was a nice girl all be it a bit too trusting but she was something that he hadn't really encountered for some time even if she did sidetrack him for most of the day. While on their way to the inn Azure went over his main objectives, again and again, to make sure there was no flaw in them even though they were flawless.

"Sorry what was that spaced out a bit there?" while she was talking he really did spaced out as he thought about his book collection slowly disappearing due to him having to sell them for other things. he hadn't noticed that the girl took hold of his hand part of him wanted to pull his hand away from her but that would have broken illusion that they have created. His more adult half was becoming rather annoyed with the girl but knew that he had to keep up the act until they reach the inn, "Not that I really mind but your gripping my hand rather tightly right now, Is something wrong?" a rather simple question given that part of him was worried slightly.

Once they reached the inn Azure slipped his hand away from the girl and quickly left her to deal with her own problems as it seemed like that's what she needed. While he walked away from the inn he pulled out his heart pin again and placed it back on his jacket.

Exit
