Alisea was eager.  It was such a refreshing feeling after that meeting of Guildmasters.  Receiving a PM from Uchaka so soon had been a surprise, made all the sweeter when it was a direct invitation to spend time together.  With the crowd dispersing, Alisea had excused herself from Reylan's side ([color=ec008c]"I have something I need to do.  Go show Aster a good time, and I'll meet up with you later, okay?"[/color]) and exchanged a few more PMs with Uchaka to decide on a meeting place.

When she arrived, the magess found another surprise.  Uchaka wasn't alone; River had already approached her.  Alisea quickened her steps to reach the pair before he did anything foolish, but when she was finally close enough to hear him over the din of the busy street, she was shocked by yet another unexpected event.  He was apologizing.  Today was shaping up to be the most interesting day since the first in this new world.

Alisea couldn't help but smile to herself.  It may have been her words that caused him to think along those lines.  It just as well may have been himself, though.  What an earnest child he was.  The magess withdrew a pace, staying out of sight long enough for Uchaka to deliver her reply before she approached.

After Uchaka had spoken to River, Alisea stepped forward.  [color=ec008c]"Uchaka!  Oh?  River!  How good to see you here!  Enjoying the festival so far?  All these decorations give the town so much color!"[/color]  She cast a glance from one player to the other, then gave a shy, little smile.  [color=ec008c]"Oh, I apologize.  I can come back a little later if you two need..."[/color]
