A hooded figure walked slowly across the grasslands through the darkness. Her name was Kaia. After traveling through the forest, the open meadow made the girl feel vulnerable.
Still though Kaia continued on at the same pace. All that could be heard in the silent night was the occasional sound of a cricket chirping or an owl hooting.
For many days Kaia had been going on like this. She was to meet someone at the tavern in the human city of Rhyfaugh the next day. In the mountains she had been delayed by a sudden summer storm. It looked like she would have to walk through the night.
Oh well, I probably wouldn't set up camp around here anyhow. It is far to open for my liking, she thought as she glanced around the open field. The only thing you could see on the dark horizon was the fading shadow where the forest was and the city looming up ahead.
After around another hour of moving through the silence Kaia sat down in the tall grass and opened a leather bag which she had brought to carry food. Taking out her metal canteen she gratefully took a quick drink of the clear water. Out of her bag she also pulled a small red apple.
Finishing off her small meal she put the canteen back and threw the apple core into the tall grasses. It is a good thing that I am arriving tomorrow that was the last of my food. Keeping her eyes set on the city she continued at a slightly faster pace, re-energized from her short break.

Ren had been sleeping in the grass, when quite suddenly an apple core fell on her head waking her up instantly. "Wha... What the, where did this apple core come from?" Ren asked picking up the apple core and dropping it on the ground beside where she was laying. She stood up and looked around. Soon seeing someone heading towards the city.
*Hey, I wonder if that's the owner of the apple core... I bet it is. I think I'm gonna ask...* And with that thought Ren started to run towards the person. Finally reaching her, Ren stuck out her had and said, "Hiya, I'm Ren Aurion, Who are you, and by any chance did you have an apple recently?"

Startled that somebody had so openly introduced themselves Kaia shook Rens hand and attempted a small smile. "I'm Kaia, and yes I had an apple a few moments ago."
Blinking in slight confusion she stepped back. "How did you know that though," the attempted friendly smile faded from her face and went back to her usual emotionless expression.
"So do you live in the village?" she asked motioning to the dark blur that was Rhyfaugh.
Kaia noticed the weapon that Ren carried, "I see you are armed." Making sure to state this carefully so as not to give the impression that she wanted to start a fight. Slowly she continued on since there was no time to stop for long. In a way she was glad to talk to somebody. It broke the quiet.

After hearing all Kaia's questions, Ren finally decided to reply. "So, umm yeah, I do live in Rhyfaugh, and I guessed that you had an apple because it sorta fell on my head... and since you were the only one around and all... So yeah." Ren concluded then thought, *Hmm, I say "so" and "yeah" alot don't I?*
Ren then saw Kaia notice her sword that was hanging loosely in its sheath around her waist. Then she listened as she said slowly, "I see you are armed."
"Yeah, you can never really be to careful." Ren said following the slow pace Kaia was going. "So, why are you headed for Rhyfaugh?" She asked.

"I see," was all she said to reply to Rens answers.
"No you can never be overly careful I suppose, although if you become too cautious it leads only to becoming paranoid. In these grasslands though I suppose there is great need to be aware of your surroundings."
"So why are you headed for Ryufaugh?"
At these words Kaia paused, unsure of whether she should answer, the girl (Ren) didn't seem to be much of a threat though so she continued. "I am meeting my cousin at the Tavern," she said simply not giving out much information on what time and day. Threat or no threat, she was not yet going to reveal much about her troubled past to Ren.

*Hmm, I wonder why... maybe they haven't seen each other in a whie and need to catch up or something. Feh, who knows I'm happy with the answer I came up with... and if she wanted to tell me, then she probly would.* Ren thought. "So... how are you?" Ren asked, not being able to think of another way to continue on with the conversation.

A sarcastic smile fell across Kaia's face, "I am absolutely great." Still Kaia was confused about how Osha had reached her, and was far more tired then usual from not sleeping for two straight nights in a row, this being the second although she did her best not to show it.
"How are you?" she added on to her reply. Her eyes still fixed on the city. A cold wind picked up and whipped her black hair around.
