Julia stood in one of the vacant corners of the restaurant, simply observing the many people that came and went. She was very bored. However, after living in the inn for a good 14 years, Julia had come to enjoy the hobby of people-watching. The way people walk, talk, and express themselves to others, it was all very interesting. Sadly, mimicking such commonplace interactions and exchanges was harder than it looked, or at least it was for Julia.

As Julia scanned the room once more, her gaze fell upon a young woman with brilliant blue hair and glasses, who seemed to be around the same age as Julia. Julia nibbled on her lower lip as she anxiously observed the other girl descend the stairs. The afternoon had been particularly uneventful, as usual, so Julia was just a tad-bit elated and nervous to be presented with an opportunity to make a new friend. 

Trying to be inconspicuous with her actions, the young, dark-haired girl continued her usual sweep of the room, only stealing a couple glances in the direction of the staircase. All fared well for the girl descending the steps, until she tripped. Gasping out of concern, Julia lurched forward immediately in an instinctive act to assist the falling girl, but stopped in her tracks mid-stride. There was no way that she was going to make it to the falling girl on time, even if she sprinted; she was practically on the other side of the room. Hesitating, Julia could only watch helplessly as the girl tumbled towards the bottom of the staircase.
