[color=sandybrown]“Hmm?”[/color]

The Red Scholar was lost in her own headspace and train of thought, so it was only natural she slightly jumped to the presence of another. Her instincts immediately told her it was just one of the fellow Envoy and the voice coupled with the snuggling confirmed it was Liora. Rean wondered what the sight must have looked like to outsiders and onlookers but she found she didn’t care what they thought. All that mattered was the mission…and whatever sort of fun their group could get into while obtaining that goal.

[color=sandybrown]“Oh, Liora. Sorry, I was just thinking to myself,”[/color] she sheepishly explained to the other girl, not completely shrugging away from her arm. [color=sandybrown]“Hopefully I wasn’t mumbling too. Who knows what I was letting slip out, hahaa~”[/color] An apple’s crunch filled her ears and the harsher rumble of her stomach made her realize she skipped breakfast. Or lunch? Honestly, Rean wasn’t quite sure what time of day it was anymore. [color=sandybrown]“Well, I must admit, your company was rather impressionable Liora. Have to say, you might be one of my favorites out of our brothers and sisters.”[/color]

Rean leaned back, hands outstretched on the fountain’s edge as she sighed. [color=sandybrown]“I was just thinking on how to get into that library. Figured that’d be the best place to look for information and spear our investigation,”[/color] she said, pointing towards Coris’ library just in front of them. [color=sandybrown]“Alas, as you can see, the place isn’t kind to strangers like us. Really an annoyance….”[/color]

The girl’s stomach rumbled again, leaving Rean to place a gloved hand over her abdomen. [color=sandybrown]“And it seems I’ve failed to feed myself. There I go again, lost in my studies. I don’t really care where you got that apple Liora so long as you have another you might not mind sharing? Also, where is Arthur? I swore he was supposed to help us investigate this city...[/color]
