Reia was welcomed into Welkins house, and she stepped inside gently, placing her bag down by the door. The lace shoulders of her black dress showed her pale blue skin, and she swept her hair from her face slightly, twisting it into a neat bun at the top of her head. It stayed up easily with a pin, and she looked at Welkins gently. [color=f6989d]"Hi. I'm sorry I didn't see you much today, I had a lot of things to get done before I could leave. The train leaves the station in about half an hour, so I wanted to come say goodbye before I went. I should only be gone for a couple of days, I think."[/color] She spoke softly, her blue eyes cool as she gazed around the room for a moment. She thought for a second and then continued, [color=f6989d]"Would it be alright if I left my house key with you? I'd really appreciate it if you could check on it while I'm away. I don't have any animals or anything, but still."[/color] Once she handed him her house key, she moved to sit on the couch gently. [color=f6989d]"Did you talk to Isara?"[/color] she inquired, even though she figured she knew the answer already. [color=f6989d]"How did it go? I feel bad that I might have ruined your friendship with her. It wasn't my intention."[/color] She sighed softly, looking out the window slightly before resting her eyes on Welkins' face again. It seemed like something was bothering him. His aura was dull, and she could feel some sort of negative emotion in the air. She realized he hadn't smiled at her as big as he had the last couple days as well when she arrived. Maybe he didn't like her after all. Reia thought maybe then that her going away for this mission might be good. Give him some breathing room. [color=f6989d]"Anyway, thank you again. Here's my cell in case anything happens,"[/color] she smiled gently, writing down in cursive her name and cell phone number then handing him the paper. [color=f6989d]"I should get going so I'm not late. I promise I'll keep in touch while I'm away. I'll be back before you know it."[/color] Once Welkins took the paper from her, she reached out and hugged him gently, then brushed the hair from his face a little. [color=f6989d]"I'll see you later!"[/color] she picked up her bag and showed herself out of his house, moving quickly toward the train station. She could feel his eyes on her back while she walked away for a couple of seconds, and then she felt alone, mostly. There were people still around her, but none she really knew. Some from Galia, some from other places. She handed the clerk a piece of paper which held her ticket information provided by Kalona, and the clerk simply nodded and motioned to the train. Reia smiled, thanked him, and proceeded to board. She breathed out softly and found an empty section so she could focus. The train ride there was only a few hours, and she should arrive sometime later in the night. Enough time to get some rest before she had to get to work. She felt nervous and took the folder out of her bag, going over the case again and memorizing the information she would need to know.
