Having only just sat down and slipped on her strange mask, Viviana looked up as she heard the approach of another traveler from down the path, seeing a man that looked to be somewhere around her age. As he reached the checkpoint, she overheard him being informed of the same delay which she was currently waiting on, though he reacted a bit more angrily than she had, kicking the dirt then throwing a stone which cracked against the stone of the wall behind her, causing her to cry out and flinch in surprise. Almost immediately, she heard him apologize, and looked back up to see him bowing down low, explaining that he was simply pressed for time. Blushing a bit after her embarrassing reaction, she glanced up curiously as she heard a bird's cry, and was surprised again when the bird actually alighted on the man's shoulder, just moments before he introduced the both of them. He had his own bird? How curious!

Her blush growing a smidgen brighter as he pulled her hand up to kiss it, she adjusted her mask slightly as he asked if she was waiting for the mage's return as well. "Oh, yes... it's terribly inconvenient, but it's good that they're strict about keeping the plague from spreading." She said, gently withdrawing her hand as she glanced back over at the guards standing by the gateway, before looking back up at the man, Caelyn, again. "My name is Viviana. I'm traveling to Virens in search of a cure for the plague." She said, a small smile hidden behind the mask she was wearing, before she seemed to remember something. "Ah, speaking of which..." She said, looking down at her lap as she picked up one more of the masks, holding it up for him to take. "Here. The man I got this mask from gave me a lot of spares, for some reason. I have no need of the other five, so you may as well have one."
