[hr]

Once they were at a safe distance from the marketplace Regulus finally slowed his incredibly pace, followed suit by the short statured faun who was very relieved they stopped running. It gave him some time to catch his breath. He was hunched forward, hands on his knees and his chest heaving. Too winded to talk right away, Ilan instead focused on not passing out. The entire ordeal had taken a lot out of him. He wasn't used to so much chaos. It assaulted his tender senses. 

Regulus lowered himself to Ilans level, steadying the young faun with both hands on his shoulders.
[color=Sandybrown]"Easy there.... we're safe for now"[/color] He spoke calmly. The centaur sounded like a completely different person when he wasn't raising his voice to cause a commotion. He took extra care to be gentle around Ilan. The poor kid had gone through enough for one morning. He looked around and was relieved to find they hadn't been followed. The archer continued to scan the area. Their original objective was to find humans. 

Ilan felt good enough to stand up straight. He lifted his head to look up at Regulus.

 He said gratefully. 

Ilan noticed Regulus studying their surroundings. They were now in one of the many shopping districts of Roshmi. He felt vulnerable without his magical lyre. The faun was used to the familiar feeling of wood resting against his back. It wasn't heavy but he could sense something was missing. If something else would transpire he at least still had his slingshot and also Regulus to watch out for him. He looked at the bow and quiver of arrows on the back of the centaur. Hopefully he wouldn't be needing those anytime soon. It was difficult not to be on edge. Ilan had always been easily scared, this didn't do much to improve his disposition.

 Ilan wondered aloud, still looking anywhere and everywhere for a potential attack. He noticed some people looking directly at them. He took a few steps back towards Regulus and tugged on the highest point he could reach, his sleeve, to get his attention.

 He said cautiously, in case they could hear him. Regulus however did the exact opposite of what Ilan thought he would do. Instead of sweeping them away he walked towards the strangers. Ilan was forced to go along with him, but he put on a brave face. They didn't look menacing in any way, not counting the weapons they carried on their backs. 

[color=Sandybrown]"That's a fine piece of weaponry you have there"[/color] Regulus began, sounding pleasant despite his deep bass toned voice. He commented on the halberd the feline demi human had strapped onto his back. Ilan remained quiet until he got a nudge from Regulus.
[color=Sandybrown]"We look less suspicious if we blend into the crowd, talk to some friendly strangers"[/color]

The faun caught on quickly and composed himself, tapping into his innate politeness. His jade eyes wandered past each individual, careful not to stare for too long. There was two elves? One of them, or rather both of them looked odd in a way. One of the female elves was dressed in beautiful colored robes of elaborate design. She carried a parasol painted with cherry blossom flowers.

 Ilan commented, gesturing to Sakura's parasol.
