Plaza, Garleton: Noon[/b][/i][/row][cell]
Unaware of the events transpiring at the background, Sumire kept her focus on the careful maneuvering of the fans. The melody from the stringed instrument had begun to relax until fading into silence, just as the dancer's spinning movements steadily sunk down into her initial position with a fan upon her face. The gesture was reminiscent to that of a once blooming flower, wilting away back to the earth from whence it came from. There was a momentary pause. Not until a thundering round of applause and cheering errupted from the audience.

Lifting herself off the ground, the maiden adjusted her posture and neatly placed hands in front of her for a properly done bow from their culture. The crowd continued their applaud, some even throwing out pocket money onto the area before them. Sumire seeing what they're doing, voiced out, [color=hotpink]"Thank you one and all, you are all too kind! My name is Sumire and it was a pleasure to present to you the dance of my people!"[/color] She flashed a bright smile towards them and waved as she cued the minstrel to collect the earnings from the performance. While she wasn't desperate to earn money, it was a good way to add funds for their travel and accommodation.

A number of children ran up to her in excitement, questions and praises overlapping one another's in discordance. Before Rin, her [i]very[/i] strict bodyguard, were to make a move to separate the children from her just as earlier, the pinkette raised a hand as a sign for him to be at ease. [color=hotpink]"They're just curious children, be at ease, Rin. While them on the other hand..."[/color] Her voice trailed off as she glared daggers at the sleazy looking mercenary men, who stopped in their tracks upon feeling the malicious intent behind her gaze and forced smile upon the delicate features of the girl.

[i]"Hey miss! Hey miss! Where did you get that pretty looking robe?"
"You were so beautiful! I wanna learn to dance like you!"
"Can I touch the fans? I've never seen big pretty ones before!"[/i]

As Sumire knelt down to be at an even height with the young ones, she put an effort to reply to each of their query, [color=hotpink]"Okay, settle down little ones, one at a time. This is a traditional garment from my homeland far, far away from here. Why, thank you! If you keep practicing passionately, one day you may be able to dance like me! Um, if it's just a soft touch, perhaps--"[/color] At the corner of her bright yellow eyes, a familiar brunet figure caught her attention. With eyes widened in shock, the dancer suddenly screamed with a tone opposite to the gentle one she had just a second ago, [color=hotpink]"IT'S YOU!!"[/color] Her finger pointed accusingly at the spectacled man in the crowd with the same never-fading smiling face she couldn't forget.

Astonished by the sudden raising of the voice, the crowd of children fell silent with bewildered expression. Realizing she may have scared them, the girl apologized, [color=hotpink]"O-Oh, forgive me for screaming. I'm truly grateful for your praises but I must excuse myself."[/color] With a quick bow of her head, Sumire quickly stomped over to the man in question and pulled him away from the nosy crowd. [color=hotpink]"To think you'd trail us all the way here after we've surely lost sight of you days back, why do you keep following us?!"[/color] There was clearly no intention to hide the irritation in her voice but who could blame her?

The first time Sumire and Rin had noticed they were being followed by this man was after the performance she had given a couple days ago, at the previous town. Finding it odd that he seemed to be following whereever they went, Sumire ultimately decided to ride a carriage over to this town [s]instead of Rin resorting to violent means which she would rather avoid if it could be helped[/s]. But here he was, yet again before them.[/cell]
