The sun was no longer at the highest point of the sky, but the day was still quite warm. Though as Lumikki walked she let out a nice cold chill. Most of the passerby’s did not notice her as she walked by. Most went along with their day. And as she approached the church, she could see that there were not many people here, at least not outside. So she took a moment to step in and sit at one of the seats to the back.
A few people occupied adventures, mostly sitting towards the front. While a priest occupied the front reading out loud. Lumikki didn’t gain the same courtesy that she had outside for those within, noticed that she entered, but as soon as they turn to look upon her, their gaze went back towards the priest in the front. For the moment, it seemed like nothing was wrong.
Lumikki herself said nothing instead of sitting in silence as she observed. It would go on like this for another hour by then the priest was now wrapping up his sermon, and the visitors were approaching the stage to gather a blessing. All but Lumikki who stood behind and stayed within her seat. It would seem that her gesture was odd enough to get the attention of some priest to stood towards the side, one approaching to ask if she was new.
”Oh, as it turns out, I am.” Lumikki would reply in a voice that’s not hers. She was taking on the guys of another so not to be noticed right away.
”Actually I moved here not two weeks ago was recommended to come here from by new neighbor after I told her about my worries about being alone. She assured me that I would find good friends here, at least a nice community. So I was inclined to give it a try though admittedly I’m nervous. I guess that’s why you approached me huh?” Lumikki gave out awkward chuckle towards the end of words. Selling the part as someone quite clueless. But it could only go so far as long as she kept the hood on, and she knew that.
