The appearance of the strange blue haired girl was just another event on a growing list of strange happenings that day. Richard almost wasn't surprised at being bombarded with questions from seemingly nowhere.

"Are you alright?" she asked, "What happened here?  Do you need any medical assistance?"

Richard could only manage to slip in a "No" while she checked him over for injuries. "I'm fine. There are others over-"

His train of thought crashed when she started to dust him off. [i]Who in the world dusts off random strangers!?[/i] he wondered. Actually, a better question had formed in his head.

"Who are you?" he asked, failing to hide his lingering surprise.

"Sorry for all the questions.  Mah name is Caelyn."  She extended her hand in friendship. 

It seemed that she really was trying to be friendly, and her enthusiasm was easily winning him over. The only appropriate thing for him to do was to shake her outstretched hand "My name is Richard," he replied, "It's nice to meet you. I hope you weren't caught up in all of this here."
