Whew, mission complete. I thought as I landed infront of the entrance to Darkveil City, just having gone through the entire missing researcher debacle. Now to get to my actual objective in coming here- to explore the people. I removed my mask and cloak before entering the gates. Having passed the (rather shady - I saw someone slip the guard a few silver) security check, I made my way through the busy streets that crammed people and carriages alike between squat stone buildings and pop up side street stands. Between the noise of hollering hawkers, the smell of horses mixed with smog, it was a breath of air when I stepped into the town square. It was filled with people, chatter, and an amount of life that one wouldn't expect from a city known for organized crime that lay right next to a volcano. I took a seat in front of a pink Tiefling man who was playing a flugal horn. The music was dynamic, quick, and dramatic, building tension, feinting at release before the phrase ended for real. I listened for the method to the madness, listening to it as intently as any student.

She had been wandering around Darkveil for over an hour at this point, searching for someone to help her find the people she had once lived with. Though none of the shopkeepers had even heard of her old village. Another town unable to help her she thought. Exhausted, she decides to take a break. She could continue this later. She sat down next to someone she hadn't recognized. A girl that appeared to be a half Tiefling half owl maybe. When she sat down she tried to be cautious about the others' wings. She studied the other girl for a moment, mostly looking at her wings. They seemed very interesting to Valxi. She quickly looks away though busying herself in her map, looking for another town that might be able to help her. She groans realizing she had already been mostly everywhere. The music in this town was wonderful though, she listened intensely to the sounds around her drinking all of it in.

I could feel eyes boring into my back, and so turned to look. There sat a purple Tiefling, who looked away took a out a map. She looked to be no older than 25, and her attire was non descript, save for the assortment of gold earrings that hung from her ears. She either wasn't from around here, or a big name criminal- either unaware of the threat of having her ears cut off, or powerful enough that no one would dare. Judging my the way she groused over a map, it was probably the former. "Hello." I said tentatively, unsure whether she wanted something from me, or the staring was coincidental. From what I'd observed, while the people were lively, and not everyone had I'll intent, it wasn't rare to get mugged. Just coming here I'd spotted people exchanging what I'm pretty sure we're bags of herbs, gold, and something bloody. But I won't be able to strike up any conversations if I just keep to myself, and I'm a lot stronger than I used to be. So I decided to follow this thread of conversation and see where it went. "Is there something I can help you with?" And after a beat I tacked on "And I suggest you hide your earrings," as a gesture of goodwill.
