[color=#FDF2E9]Annya met her gaze once she finished talking. She waited quietly and then stared with surprise. The princess understood her and wasn’t scolding her? She was offering to [i]help[/i] her? Saoirse turned away and stared at the ocean so as to hide her shock. Was it a ruse? No, it didn’t seem like it, and her gut told her otherwise. Remaining impassive, Shae nodded to her and stood up. The warm smile on her face made her avert her gaze. Unaware of having held her breath, she finally let it out as her lungs began pleading for air. 

Friends…? They were friends? This woman wasn’t scolding or judging her...? She remained silent as she interacted with Ismael and followed them to the Surfside cafe. He didn’t say too much to her but she didn’t quite care. Her mind was whirring from the previous interaction. A warmth had filled her, unrelated to her element, and only increased her confusion. Saoirse fell into step beside Annya and swallowed hard. She passed by a window and noticed a small smile on her face and quickly became impassive once more. 

Once they reached the cafe, they found the dwarf from the previous night and Annya introduced herself. She then allowed them to speak on their own behalf. However as she went to speak, Annya’s transmission bracelet rang and she answered it. She turned to watch the hologram of Kharne speak and indicate he’d found Raven with some friends. Her brows furrowed as she crossed her arms and her normal scowl returned. What friends? Chewing her lip, she let herself relax some so as not to intimidate the dwarf. She remained silent as Annya spoke once more and glanced around. There was a tall green creature that she wondered if it was a hulk. Next to it was a red haired elf with the longest hair Saoirse had ever seen, then a feline demi next to it who looked dark and sinister. She studied the rest of the inhabitants, a mix of fairies, elves, demis and other creatures names she didn't quite know. 

Turning back, she finally glanced at the dwarf and introduced herself after a moment. [color=f7976a]"I'm Shae.”[/color] She glanced sideways at the door then back to the group.[/color]

[color=lightskyblue][b]Location:[/b][/color] Inn by the Sea -> Surfside Cafe 
[color=lightskyblue][b]Interaction:[/b][/color] [@Helo] Bowyn
[color=lightskyblue][b]Interaction:[/b][/color] [@Omni5876] Arn

[color=silver]Rue watched with surprise as Bowyn had moved out from in front of her just a step. She noticed how cold he’d become and the tension he’d held. Even Moonlight hadn’t relaxed yet, and the peace they had together was now shattered. She wanted to regain it, but the air was stifled by the odd interaction. Every fiber of her being screamed danger and to avoid them all costs. Why? What was wrong with them? She couldn’t understand it, but the way that Elf had spoken to the orc, and the wya the feline ahd glared at him to shut up, made her curiosity spiral more into anxiety. The elf seemed almost familiar to her but why? She racked her brains for the solution.  However Bowyn’s voice interrupted her reverie. She giggled and nodded in agreement. [color=lightskyblue]”I wonder why that groups together. They’re an odd bunch.”[/color] 

His comment on Arn made her hesitate and glance at him with fear. While his tone remained neutral, she knew how he felt. His unease with the dwarf made her consider her response. Prior to the trio’s odd and foreboding encounter, it had started seeming peaceful between them and didn’t want to ruin it. Arn and her had been on better terms, and he seemed genuinely upset with the whole ordeal. She also remembered the blonde Elf had said the previous night, how he’d ogled someone. That didn’t sit right with her seeing as the two of them could barely look at one another, and would only sneak glances at each other. On the other hand, Bowyn wasn’t fond of him. Frowning, she remained silent for a while as she considered her words. Then her stomach clenched and she bit her lip. [color=lightskyblue]”No.. I.. I think maybe we should try hanging out today.”[/color] The word’s left her mouth before she’d processed them. [color=lightskyblue]”I was thinking we could catch up during breakfast.”[/color]

[color=mediumpurple]”Why did you say that?”[/color] Moonlight asked as he tilted his head to one side.

Rue ignored him and the pang in her chest.[/color]
