"♪♪♪~" Aria hummed as she walked alone through the roads crossing the rolling hills of Avaria's countryside. By now the fox girl was used to the lonesome traveler's life, and sincerely felt she would feel empty once her pilgrimage comes to an end. The wind in her face and the earth under feet felt as natural for her as the many meets and parting she had on the time she has been on the road and all the stories she collected in her journal.

What didn't feel natural, was someone playing music the middle of nowhere, like her ears seemed to notice.

[i]"Well, that's certainly strange,"[/i] Aria thought as she deviated from her course and followed the source of the music. A few moments later, she found herself staring at a person that didn't seem to belong to the place he was standing on at all. After all, normal travelers would at least be aware that this kind of performance could attract unwanted attention, right?

Even so, Aria waited until the mysterious guy finished his performance before interrupting him. "That was an impressive performance. I don't think I ever heard that piece before. Normally, I would spare some time to ask about it, but don't you think that you are being a bit careless, Mr....?" Aria asked as she eyed the careless guy from a few feet away.

However, it seems like someone else didn't have the same patience, or so Aria thought while a surprised smile graced her face, shaded under her cloak' hood. "Or perhaps, you are not? I'm sorry if I interrupted anything. This region is known to be home for goblins and bandits, but if you have a companion such as this, I don't think you are in any danger," she added, pointing towards the dragon girl clinging to him.

"By the way, excuse me for my lack of manners. I'm Arianna Aquarian, but you can call me Aria, a traveler and story collector. Since there seems to be no crisis around, would you mind telling me more about that piece you were just playing?"
