Yet again in her travels. Miriko used it as a means to explore and learn new things. Thus in her many ways of repeating and doing things she might have ended up in other areas either not remembering she had been there before or just not caring she had been there already and was ready to go back.

Alistair and Miriko was casually chatting away talking about a few normal happening in life, in this matter it seemed to be talking about getting art supplies in the future. Talking about their poor travels in preparing to go on this trip, but at least in the end she had plenty of pencils and paper to draw so she could by. Thus their walk was if anything about a standard in the day and life of Miriko since she had not many things on her mind, then again not many things where interesting as well.

Having landed within Minstrel. After meeting with a little fairy and a strange man that had a bit of a slick tongue. Jikan was on her way again. Having left the landing dick with Mia on her shoulder and Maxx on her side. It was, some interaction and experience to say the least. But by far nit the worst or most boring experience.

What a way to come back home. Well. At least things were still peaceful so far. Either way it was time to see how life in the motherland was doing with this whole? Invaders from another dimensional counter part realm was going. Fiore was in a mess of a turmoil after all with shocking events happening to well known players on the board left and right.

This type of chaos would just be the type of thing some people in the low and middle class would enjoy to see as a show, and many of the many wealthy hands long to twist as a game. Oh did Jikan expect such a thing, but couldn't help but worry about the common people. And her family. Her blood family even with how distant she was.

Along this walk and check one people, lost in thought she practically bumped into Miriko and Alistair. Her cheeks turning a deep red as she looked up from her fallen position. Arms waving in a jumbled panic movement. '"WwwwhawhachuxhuyouMigaMimi do doing he a wa here!?!?". She panic and off guarded was she that she split half her words in her native tongue and half in Firoian.

Long term wandering was something that Saturn felt was necessary to learn the lay of the land; with memories of various other places coming to head he was left with the sensation that he should go somewhere other than the frozen mountains of iceberg; the keen and lovely scenery of Joya or the powerful country of Bosco. Each one of them tickled his mind in ways he couldn’t explain and it honestly hurt him a little bit to think about.

So rather than go to each location to spurn the memories further he instead decided to head to a country he had never heard of in any way shape or form past the little travel brochure that he happened across with the caravan he had been traveling with for a short time.

Minstrel.

He was curious about the song of the land there, the song of the people and ultimately the sort of individuals that would call this place their home. His confusion and cluelessness leading him along through the long days and nights. But he mostly avoided the cities or the towns that he saw. Not doing super well with them due to the sheer amount of people he was inevitably forced to go into what amounted to a town. Maybe a city?

He wanted to see what sort of information he could gleam from talking to the people here now that he was fully into the country itself. But. He’d pause and cock his head; the positively massive demi-god stood a good head shoulders and chest above most people and he was left for the most part to his own devices yet… here he was hearing a song of confusion and that of one of creativity.

Curiouser and curiouser he’d lean around that of a building. Golden eyes cracking and a soft ‘la’ rolling through his tongue in native speak. Something that was rarely uttered on earthland. Sounding more akin to a musical note than anything else.

The confusion and startled song came from a woman with fiery red hair.

The song of creativity came from a mild mannered looking woman.

There was also a third somewhat passive yet protective song coming from the large creature next to the mild mannered woman. Interest peaked and he’d step out fully from behind the building. How did that greeting go again? Raising his hand slowly and giving it a soft wave; the pads on his finger tips glowing softly in the light of the day. No words were spoken but a mild wave was given; the motion itself was gentle and the smile he kept ever present on his face was calm yet kind.

There was a fun and in some manner good amount if innocent bliss with in the mind of Miriko while their generally conversation moved on. But she was then moving into what all that could consider picking up and drawing in minstrel since they had to settle into just pencil and paper drawing, not that she minded at all. But then got bumped into by Jikan and her merry bundle of other beings at that time.

Looking at what bump into her so to say out of wonder she would gaze at Jikan for a moment."Oh? some one sneaking up on me this time?"She had to joke about it.in some manner at least Miriko seemed in a bit of a better mood and she was pretty normal at this time. Rather then Jikan's look of red. Almost could be mixed up with her hair at least in her mind."I think you need to relax however, because you surely aren't yourself."it must be werid to have the kind of be the opposites for once in their lives than against Miriko was not all of the time a bundle of nerves she was still able to be normal.

But alas Miriko sight was more interesting in not only something taller than her in which was a bit uncommon but seemingly far more bestial in nature but friendly. Miriko enjoyed these kind of things because well. She drew ideas form them."Oh? aren't you an interesting being. I do wonder if you are able to comprehend language."Miriko meant this in a nice way only because she did not know many thing but seemed more than delighted to talk to Saturn. Hoping he would speak back in some manner to her. But friendly as always.

Alistair seemed to just watch with interesting but seemed not worried at this time, But was find just doing what he was doing at this time.

Bewildered was an understatement. Embarrassed. Well. That was a whole other thing. That was a word that held more weight to Jikan right now than any mortal world that existed on Earthland. By the gods. She had flaied and fallened down right on her butt. And then mumble and jumbled her words unable to control what language her brain was thinking. IN FRONT OF MIRIKO!!

Not a day full day of being home within Minstrel. Not even  isolated and by themselves either. In a town. No. A budding city. And a stranger was here waving hello as well. An awkward reaction to the sight or an amused twist to Jikan's actions.

"No, n- noo. I was walking im thoughts. Since I am back home after so long there is so..so much on my mind", Jikan said with a stutter, her fiery hair falling to cover the right side of her voice as she practically squeaked whispered her words out.

"I I I I I", she started before jumping i to the air growing redder. Finding it all much too much for her. "I'm sorrrrrrry", was all that could be heard as Jikan sped away. Breaking out in an immediate run to get far far away from everyone as she could.

[Exit]

The motions and songs of the various people in front of him had Saturn for the most part in rapture of trying to understand them. His smile widened a bit as he could tell that the songs of the two that weren’t in an actual tizzy seemed rather accepting. He’d cock his head to one side as she spoke; fiorian was still frankly new to him and any other language was still in the same boat. But given that he had spent a lot of time around some natural speakers the large demi-god gave another ‘la’.

However the fiery haired woman practically ran off and left him blinking; he could feel the confused emotions in them and would stand there for a moment. Was running after someone like that wise when you didn’t know them? No. Probably not; though worry creased his brow for a moment before slowly turning his head to Mimi and Alistair. His voice was soft; sing song even. Laced with mana and magical energy that caused the very earth to rumble in a soft endeared pleasure.

”Can. Know. Can’t….”

There was a pause as complex words didn’t quite sit well with him; more so that he wasn’t sure how to put them into song or speak them well enough. Complex emotions were hard to convey and with a huff he’d pull out some parchment; his eyes were closed anyways so it was probably strange to see him move so naturally without looking. But he was listening to things around him so that was probably why.

Pouring his emotions of curiosity, friendliness and the soft subtle hints of wonder into the parchment. Forcing runes to slowly warp into place the large demi god would offer it to mimi and Alistair. He was clearly curious about them, seeming apologetic for his inability to firmly grasp words and speak them towards them all. He’d take one hand and spread it on his chest before speaking from the ‘heart’.

”Saturn.”

Much like with ashley he was at least capable of introducing himself; but this time it was easier for someone else that he wasn’t already laced in an area and pumping out mana left and right wouldn’t be wise in a city setting. At least from what he had been told before…

It seemed one would leave quickly. While Miriko interested in the fact that the being seemed to be harmless seemed to continue on with her interest after a few parting words."Sorry for what?..wait what is going on."Jikan seemed to be gone and even if she wanted to be slightly worried it was something she would check into later."I should...check on her later." She did sound worried for a moment.

But it was talking broken but talking, It gave her ideas."Saturn is that what you wish to be called? Well welcome."Miriko was hoping they were not overloaded with information. But Alistair seemed not worried so not much else seemed to be of worry at that time.

Miriko would continue talking while she was drawing on her sheet of paper it seemed effortlessly done while she was talking. She had an idea she was drawing at this time while talking."I am Mimi."She would mention that so they had something to call her in return.

He didn’t particularly understand the jumble of emotions from the red haired one that ran away. Leaving him mostly standing there in confusion. The two talked ever so briefly; or at least there was some kind of communication. He seemed out of sorts and hearing that ‘worry’ in Mimi’s voice earned a tilt of the head.

He understood somewhat the languages of this land; many of them foreign to him. Fiorian was the one that he understood the best but he wasn’t in fiore right now. So to hear that at all was at least a boon of sorts. The golden demi-god nodded his head at the question.

They wished to be called Mimi? Saturn pondered this and would take a few moments; formulating the name in his head. The emotions that were attached and relevant at the moment. A pure statement of self along with a curious twist somewhere deep. His inflection of the name was laced with mana like he was talking out of his soul rather than just with his mouth.

”Mimi.”

Like a parrot he repeated that name; two names that he knew properly now. Both belong to female humans. Though comparatively mimi seemed to have more magical essence or at least bearing than Ashley did. Perhaps it was due to their ways of life? Other things? Maybe there was a different sense of growth.

”...Yes. Saturn.”

His eyes slowly eased to alistair and he’d tilt his head slowly to one side. The large cat like creature hadn’t spoken. But he could feel them just as acutely as he could mimi or the flustered red head from earlier. How did that one word go… Translating things in his head was difficult due to the excess of information he was privy to at all times. It was easier to communicate in your head honestly. Or by runes on paper. Tapping his temple with a finger the demi-god had a moment and then nodded his head. It was a simple single word; one that he had been privy to hearing when walking by certain areas. He knew it was related to the felines so he hoped that the larger one wouldn’t be insulted when he asked.

”.....C-.... Cat?”

These experiences where in some manner always worth it to Miriko she in some manner learned many things from seeing how things worked different from other beings, in design and ideas. Miriko was most likely one of the better ones to meet otherly world beings that where harmless. Then again it also helped Miriko over all was just the easy to get along type.

The she look over at Alistair. "Alistair."She simply mentioned also followed up by Alistair himself."yup, Alistair."It seemed pretty simple to leave it at that. With her vested interest of how this was going she seemed to be looking into what else she could do or say.

So much so Miriko stopped drawing for a moment."Hmm.."So she had a different idea. She would walk over to Alistair open up one of her bags. digging through it and pulling out a new drawing book and a pencil. She then walked over to the giant being and then offered both to them.

The picking up her first drawing book and pencil she then turned herself so her page was facing Saturn, even with her back turned there was a chance this could work."Mimic my actions if you can."Miriko started by drawing a slightly curved line on the paper.

A soft earflick as the two spoke; reassuring the name of the cat. Alistair. Mimi. Information that quickly was absorbed, locked away and assigned. His eyes cracking a little bit to look between the two. He seemed to understand; he seemed to know what they meant. However he’d cock his head to one side as the human woman took something out of their bags on the large cat.

Being offered the drawing book and pencil; Saturn couldn’t help but take a moment to look at what he was being handed. His hands were enormous compared to mimi’s and even more so the items that she handed him were needed to be taken in a delicate manner else he’d break them no doubt. His head tilted to one side and he saw what she was doing.

It took him a moment but he’d piece it together; she minted to show or teach him something. So he’d go along with it, cracking open the book and following her motions; he could tell that she was trying to help him. It was the song of her being along with many other bits of music. A symphony of a tale that he was curious about her start. Maybe when he could actually talk properly he could interact with people on a better level.

He’d have to lean to see exactly what she was doing, he might have towered over her but it’d be rude to look straight down over her right? People liked their space didn’t they? He was pretty sure of that with the way everyone kept on stepping away from him when he walked around cities.

In some manner it was interesting for all three people in this matter. Alistair was confused on how this could work because in some manner this being could not talk entirely right away was trying but for what reason it seemed interesting to him. Then again their was value to starting to try and talk over all just seeing it yet.

Miriko on the other hand, was starting to draw something. slowly but surely the shape when followed correctly was the shape of a star then as Miriko continue drawing it was from one of the corner of the pages it made a basic, faceless being that was shaped of a woman looking like she was reaching to the stars and with in the star was seeming Miriko reflecting the being she saw now, Saturn like he was reaching through the star. Whatever it meant Miriko was unsure but it was just the idea she had at the time but when the picture was finish surely she hoped Saturn could enjoy her moment of creativity that she had to express at this time.

Miriko was determine to get this to work, it was now her goal with in this moment.

Saturn couldn’t help but watch what mimi was doing, given that she was showing him something that he had never really done before. He’d mimic her motions; like a child that saw their father work tireless at the forge, or their mother that taught them to read. It was a skill that he had somewhere innately. The sensation and emotions he felt from the image were strange, at first muted and then like he was being shown something that he hadn’t considered at first.

Staring at the picture for a moment and looking between the two rather rapidly; he looked positively taken by the concept and raised his brows a little bit. There were some points that he felt were a little more rough than hers but that made sense, he might have a little bit stranger in control compared to her. There was a hushed moment but he continued to follow her motions.

He enjoyed this creativity, it was something he had never done before. He would tilt his head a bit and wonder quietly just how often this creativity had come to heel. Slowly he’d show the other if they had stopped their motions; his curious nature blossomed and one word was all that he needed to say.

”Mimi?”

Upon hearing the mention of her name. Miriko would stop drawing for a moment and she simply looked at him."Yes Saturn?"She be sure then to turn around to actually face them as well because it was the respectable thing to do. But she was curious what all could be the case here since she was super curious what could be going on at this time.

But after that she would wait since not much else she could do until Saturn had tried to show Miriko what exactly was there to ponder at this time."Is something wrong?"She also just added in just to be sure not only that she was but that Saturn still knew as well they had her attention as well. It would be rude to have even putting her hands away from her work as well since it was most likely a good thing to have that attention drawn.

Saturn stared at what mimi had created, then to what he had made following her motions. Tilting his head to one side there was a few expressions that crossed his face, mostly by that of use of his eyes and eyebrows given that his face was perpetually stuck in a smile of some nature. Curiosity, uncertainty, interest of some kind and ultimately he seemed to be comparing their ‘creations’. He was halting when he spoke, like it took a great deal of effort to talk at all.

”Am. Curious.”

What was the word for it that he was trying to share here? The large being adjusted slightly and showed her what he had been doing thus far; while it likely was far less refined than what mimi had been doing it still held the same self emotion that she would have put into it. There was a love for parchment and love for creativity that they likely shared in some regard.

”How… long……….”

There was a pause as he furrowed his brow; struggling to find the words he was looking for. Languages were so bloody frustrating sometimes; especially when you knew and didn’t know every single one at any given time.

”Have… Mimi. Been… Doing this?”

Length of time and the love given made him wonder just how long that mimi had been an artist; just like he had only been alive for a few weeks at this point he couldn’t really grasp the idea of spending too long on it. It was like a child that had been given life to the point of an adult and only a bare understanding of things.

A question she never really minded asking with that she had a feeling maybe Saturn had not seen this all to much yet. So she would have to think was there a simple way to explain this? yes in fact is pretty simple to explain."Many years, Think about when I was about when I was about as tall as your knee."She said to give him an answer of it. It seemed fitting and perfect to explain it that way it was just an odd of explaining many years of work and practice and work to prefect all of it.

Then going on to explain more."It took a long time. But I want people to often to see and be able to express them selves in the manner I do, Even if they aren't the greatest at it."She also added in for the sake of conversation.

At least Alistair was not super worried, sure it was interesting but everyone here was just super harmless and friendly. A normal casual day that he could curl up and possible have a nap or sleep for a bit he was not picky about it.

Hearing her answer regarding how long that she had been doing this prompted saturn to blink slowly. He’d lean to look at his knee; she must have been very young to have been only that tall. His understanding of humans and the various races in earthland wasn’t your typical understanding but he did at least understand ages.

”...Must have been quite some time ago. Mimi is tall.”

Hearing her explain it further that she wanted to see people express themselves resonated with saturn a bit and he’d smile warmly. Nodding his head slowly as he understood what she meant. There were a few long moments where it seemed like he wasn’t going to speak but he’d look to his drawing once more and offer to show it to the other.

”...Everything… takes time. Understanding and… expressing. You are kind for wanting to help people do both…”

He felt that warmth towards other people too and he was glad that he could find a kindred soul in such a sense. There weren’t many in this world he felt that held that close to their hearts but mimi here seemed to be one of them. He had to wonder how many kind souls were in the world; many people seemed to carry pain very close to their chest and let it get in the way of doing great things… a sad sad turn of life.

When one could think about it. It was in fact a fairly long time a go. But going the path she did in life she did kind of rush it to be different."Well, it felt like it was anyway."She did not mention how much time actually passed for that because well, That would not make any logical sense for how human worked. Saturn did not need to know she had some one meddle with the flow of time for her to where she was age wise at this time.

But interestingly enough Saturn seemed to grasp the entire idea of what Miriko own personal life goal, which might be far more unexpected in life for some one to pick up on most people just saw the woman who made thing at pieces to sell or to show off."Oh I often offer people many chances to learn how expressive art works, I do not get a lot of people who agree to it."which was it really needed to mention this? no but she did anyway more for the sake of conversation they where having at this time. It was different that was for sure, But still nice.

”...I can barely understand… time passage myself. So little of it… for me?”

Saturn furrowed his brow a little bit and stared down at mimi; what sort of life and struggles did she have to face in comparison to saturn’s? What sort of choices did she have to make to lead her here. He had a million questions regarding her and her talents but couldn’t really figure out how to state them. He wanted to know more about her but he’d have to sort out his thoughts first.

”Ah… I see. Sometimes I do that with the songs I hear…”

Saturn nodded his head a few times; not many people could hear the music of the land and the music of the world as it came to him. The young demi god gave the other a wider smile. He figured that her way of translating things would be as her art and the way she could share it like he would. But he wasn’t sure where he could go to share this with others too frequently.

Some places were too loud; like the cities or the towns with far too many people. He’d flick his ears and tilt his head to one side. He could feel the approach and the motions of other people. There was a soft sigh and he’d adjust slightly, looking at his ‘piece’ of work that mimi had helped him make.

”...What would you call this?”

Miriko had not needed to think up of a name for it right away but the good part of Miriko is she could think up quickly. "The Shape of a Star."Miriko answer because well it seemed to make sense at the time for what was happening, If you looked at it as Saturn being the start and the shape was what she helped him make it was a prefect title for the matter in which what cause the painting to exist.

But since it seemed they where just going to talk about what she made at this time, Miriko then went and get her pencil and paper and just started on another drawing, Almost like even if she was doing one thing and completed it she always had other idea that she wanted to do, She was always working and never done. The normal Miriko things as some one learned about how she worked over time.

Then again maybe it was just a really good idea she did not want to lose in her one of many thoughts at the time."Keep in mind the meaning of such a picture can easily just be what you as a being see of it."Which was also a true fact that most people might not remember at the time, it was entirely what you made of it.

His ears would flick at the naming of the piece; his eyes stared down at it and he could understand where she was coming from and what sort of naming convention she probably used. He’d drag his fingers along where he had made the strokes very lightly, remembering the motions and humming a little bit.

”I like it.”

He affirmed quietly and his grin grew a few times in size; he was pleased with the image and wondered where he could store it without much of an issue. He’d ponder and look to his pants. He didn’t want to curl it but maybe…

”It sings to me of a time ahead, I think the shape of a star fits.”

He'd tap his head after a moment; if he had to give it a sub title or something he’d probably use Arrival or something like that. He’d scratch at his chin and look to mimi; wondering briefly what other sorts of images she had made before and would breathe out after a moment before asking.

”What other sort of pictures have you done? Any favorites? I find it hard to pick a favorite song...”

That question Miriko seemed to think about it for a moment, In which any of her favourites and more valuable personal pieces where gone a fair amount of time a go. But she would not want to ruin her entire reasons for why she wanted things to work they where now. It was a good well settled and teach mood, Not needed to be ruined by past happenings in her life that might not be worth talking about now."See you are seeing a picture you envision fitting what how your mind sees it fit."It was a way for her to explain that currently.

but she would still answer that wonder of his."My favourites have been lost to time, most of them based of off image of past meetings with some people."She did not go into detail beyond that but she explained it about but still there was answer for it her favoured pieces.
