Kai was still adapting to Belrea. While he had gotten used to some aspects of the region thanks to Alek, overall he was still incredibly lost. Of course, the local populace wasn't exactly helping him either. Each time he wandered over to someone in the area they either looked at him like he had two heads, maybe it was the lure, or they couldn't understand what he was saying. All he wanted was to find some place to stay for the time being, but the signs outside of the shops he could see were all written in a language he didn't know. Frustration wearing down his nerves, Kai attempted once more to find a reliable translator for his problems. Spotting a pretty girl down the way, he wandered over to her hoping his search was at an end.
"Uh, excuse me? Do you understand me? Can I ask for help?" Kai called to her, keeping a bit of distance just in case she too thought he was bizarre.

Limbree backed out of one of the local supply shops, a crate in her arms as she did. Backing right out onto the streets as she called a thanks back into the shop. Almost stumbling over her own two feet as she stepped, the crate being a little awkward to carry as it was clearly heavier then it looked. Catching herself, she glanced around with the lightest of green eyes before she heard something. looking again she noticed someone... Something? She wasn't too sure about what she was seeing. The person was certainly different in color and had that strange thing, appendage? sticking out their forehead. Frowning slightly she noticed that they were speaking, but she caught but half it is. Well more like less then half... Perhaps just one word stuck out to her. "Help?" she questioned looking at the stranger, her head tilting to one side. "I can try and give aid in what you may need." She commented thinking that this is what they wanted? She wasn't exactly sure, but from the look on their face, this person hadn't had the greatest of luck. This certainly was a curious thing..

"Oh perfect you understand me, at least someone around here does." Kai breathed an audible sigh of relief as he looked over the girl, noting the heavy looking box. Hm. Big muscles he guessed. He certainly wouldn't have been able to carry it. Kai took a moment to look her over, nodding in approval at her existence before explaining himself. "But yes, help please. I do not speak the dialect here and I guess the townspeople find me bizarre. I'm just trying to explore the town but no one wants to talk to me." He stuck his lip out in a pout, folding his arms over his chest.

Limbree shifted her load a little, the clink of metal on metal could be heard. She kept an eye on the stranger. Listening she caught bits again of what was being said. She wished she had paid more attention in her languages classes, but they had just been so dry and boring! Shaking her head a little, not towards what was being said, just to her own thoughts. The stranger seemed to put after they finished speaking, arms crossed as well. Wracking her brain a little, thinking back to her classes. What was that strange language that was taught? Man she wished she could remember. "Slow down a little please. I can understand you a little. I just have to remember my old classes." She said shifting her load again before moving off to the side a little to sit it down atop another crate. "You are exploring the place and everyone else is very unhelpful. That sounds about right for this town." She commented, "Name's Limbree, I might be able to show you around the best I can. But I also need to get these parts back home." She patted the crate, "But we can talk as we walk."

"Ah yes, forgive me," Kai attempted to slow down his speech, rubbing his arm a bit awkwardly. "But yes, you have the right of it. I am....unfamiliar with this place. Any help would be wonderful," he explained, slower, not wanting to rush out his words once more. He knew he had a bad habit of speaking too quickly normally, and could only imagine that his rushed words would be difficult to understand with someone actively translating them to understand. Maybe that was why no one had wanted to speak with him. He'd have to learn to speak slower and take his time from now on. "But yes, it looks really heavy," he nodded, motioning the box. "If you don't mind me following after you I'll gladly come while you drop it off. I'm Kai by the way. Nice to meet you."

As Kai slowed down their speech a bit. It made things a little easier to understand. Glancing upwards a little, she had thought she had seen something pass over head. But it seemed that it was just a lazy cloud and she looked back towards Kai. "Belrea can be an intimidating place to those who are unfamiliar with it." Limbree nodded in agreement. She hadn't found as such as she has lived here since birth. Though sometimes the bigger cities can be overwhelming. "Was there something you were looking for inparicular?"She had heard what his name was, just it went a little over her head as she was a bit scatter brained. Shifting her weight a bit, Limbree reached over and proceeded to pick her crate back up and turned towards the direction that she was going. Well the way back to her small workshop... A glorified shed in the backyard of her Brother's shop. "Perhaps a place to eat at, or even spend the night? There are many small inns and eateries around here. The bakery has the best muffins in the morning." It was her turn to speak quickly, her tone light. As she spoke, she had headed up the street against the flow of people traveling downwards. Glancing back a moment to see if Kai was following.

Kai followed after Limbree, tilting his head as he tried to focus on her quick speech. He could certainly agree with Belrea being intimidating despite his wonder at it. It was a bit chaotic, the bustle more than his quiet village. He wanted to learn as much as he could about it. But what to do first.....food maybe? Buying this was different here for sure. "Maybe a place to eat? Would you like to eat? I don't really know what types of food they have I guess other than muffins now," he trailed off, attempting to glance into shops as they passed.

Limbree stopped short a moment as she glanced around, there were many shops along the street. Ones that provided clothing, general goods. Even a tavern or two dotted the way. Limbree herself glanced back at Kai as he mentioned wanting to go somewhere that served other things that weren't muffins. She knew that that shop was a good street or two over and she was headed back to her own place with her crate. "Hmmm, I an sure we can find an eatery along the way, but first things first. Need to get this crate to the workshop." She said hefting the thing again to adjust its weight. "Shouldn't take that long, just an open the door and slide it in. Workshop is only another street over." Limbree started walking again, though glanced back again. "Was there anything that you were looking to explore within Belrea? I could maybe show you a few places."

"Oh just everything! I'm glad to explore all there is to offer here, especially since I have a local who knows so much with me!" Kai grinned, eagerly following her to the warehouse. "But what's your favorite thing here? Do you have any hobbies? Or maybe anything else super exciting?" He continued to ramble on, speaking very quickly once more and than realizing his mistake and slowing down again. "Ah, sorry."

Limbree turned her head as she walked watching Kai as he wanted to see everything. Well there was a lot to see, not just what was on this street. She pondered things over as she continued the walk. Stopping at a simple wooden door that looked like it lead into an alleyway, Limbree shifted the crate to get a hold of the key that hung at her waist by a cord. "AH, here we are. This is where I work on things." Limbree said as she unlocked the door and pushed the door open with a foot. The small space was indeed small, the brick and timber walls on either side shows that it was indeed just a small space between buildings. She had little need to mask that it was a quick set up. There were tables in here with various things on them, tools scattered about. Laying on one table that looked more desk then anything else were blueprints to a contraption she was working on. "I'll be quick, but you can come in, just be careful." She warned as she heaved the crate onto one of the work benches and rifled through it to make quick sure that everything was there. She would have hated to go back to pick up forgotten items. All this time she had, mostly, forgotten everything that Kai had said. This was normal when she entered her work area, everything else goes out the window...

Completely blanking on her warning to be careful, Kai wandered in with the excitement of a child and began to touch and shift every tool he could see within his radius. He'd never seen so many exciting and intricate items, and the blueprints themselves caught his interest as he wandered closer to them. He picked up something that look like a hammer....maybe....he thought he knew what one looked like, and swung it slightly as he looked over the blueprints. "I like this place it is very interesting!" He exclaimed, laughing as he examined it all more closely.

LImbree glanced over towards Kai as he picked up one of her more smaller, detailer's hammers. Shoving the crate beneath one of the tables, now that she had made sure everything was there. "Think so? It's just a small place I set up for myself so that I could work without others bothering me." She shrugged looking around, noting that Kai looked towards the blueprints on the desk. "That is a small thing that I am working on. But it is still a work in progress. Now, you wanted to explore, lets see if we can't find a diner. Perhaps even a giftshop if you are looking to take things back home." Limbree offered as she headed for the door, stopping just inside the door and glancing back.

Kai looked over the detailed work one more time, having no clue what he was looking at but enjoying it all the same before he wandered back out of the building and followed after this new exciting friend. He kept pace beside her, pointing to random things as they wandered along, humming to himself and overall having a good time. "I like food and anything will do," he sung a little as he spoke, pleased with the tune and nodding once before he continued to speak normally. "So, you pick a place and we'll have a good time!"

"Alright," Limbree said as she headed down the street after closing the door to her workshop. She would return there later. She lead the way a few streets until things gave way to a market. Here there were many vendors and food stalls. The smells of many things cooking wafted through the air. "This looks like a wonderful place to start. There is a lot here, the fish kabobs are always good. There's pan fried meatballs. If you are against eating meat there's a rice and veggie stand. Candied fruits." Limbree listed off some of the things that were here. There were also vendors selling trinkets and weapons. Cloth for clothing and other such knickknacks. "So have a look around, pick out what you want and I will purchase it for you." Limbree offered as she waved a hand for Kai to head off, she would follow him of course and buy whatever he wanted to eat.

Kai eagerly wandered from stall to stall, grabbing different meatballs, rice and veggies, and candied fruits before walking back over. He realized as he did that he should have stayed at the shops and frowned, rewinding to allow for Limbree to buy his things. Overall he stuffed himself full, happily sharing whatever she asked for as he snacked on the different treats. Once he'd finished that up, he gave a big thumbs up and looked over at Limbree once more. "I have consumed all, including your time. Should I let you go now?" he asked, tilting his head at her/ Kesmi This should be enough post, yes? If you wanted to wrap up here. I can respond more too if you'd like don't care either way! <3
