She had been walking now for a full ten minutes, her eyes swinging back and forth. Confused as to why she was here partly anyway. Did it really need her to come and find a brewery that needed buying? Slowly she huffed and started back up the street she had been on, remembering that there had been a wholesaler of barrels of beer and wine. It was highly possible that in there she would be able to enquire about a brewery that may need buying up.

She passed plenty of people, coming and going about their daily lives. Humans, elves, goblins, orcs - this city truly was a metropolis for the masses. Of course she knew about the civil war and what it had left behind in tatters. And the Ixian Castle with its knights had not been heard of in so long. Truly this was a city that teetered on a knife edge between chaos and order, with hundreds of inns, fight-houses and brothels to its claim.

As she got to the place where she was sure the wholesaler was, Stare paused and then looked across the street. Her brow furrowed as she looked with focus and couldn't quite believe her eyes but yes. There, there she was the funny cat person from earlier. The one who had sped away. Stare took a moment to consider if the cat wanted directions - in all honesty she looked lost, and the lack of knowing the common tongue would not serve well here.

The indecision caught her for a moment, wondering if she should help or leave it. She - Eteri - had run from her, clearly not wanting company.

The kenku eventually began to turn, moving to go forwards to the wholesaler and not to the blue-haired nekojin. But as she did a large man with a larger woman suddenly were swinging in the same direction and - WHAM.

Stare was shoved in the opposite direction, far away from her intended destination. Instead she was chucked right at Eteri. Whom she collided with, with an angry thumping sound.

They fell on the ground in an ugly, sprawled tangle. Stare had a scowl in her eyes but immediately began apologising.

<”Sorry.”>
