Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sapphire walks back into the muffin with a bit of hay in her hair and sticking out of her skirt and some appears to be coming out of her sock as well. She is limping slighty seeming to favor her right leg, towards the top.

Trina started down the stairs, looking a bit worn out. She saw a man she did not know drawing at the bar, and Sapphire. Without speaking, she went to the sink and filled a glass with water.

(Which one? The rpg one or the waldo one? I could send it to you!))Richard looked up, seemingly surprised. He hadn't heard the woman come in, but recognized her from earlier. Shaking his head, he shuffled his papers together and placed them back in a manilla folder. "Er...I'm set, thanks." He said, holding his hands straight out in front of him as he stretched. "I'm Richard Lennox by the way." He said, then couldn't remember if he had already said that, or if he had seen the man or not. He didn't think so...

Trina looked up from her glass, eyes lingering on the one named Richard, not sure who he was, and then to Arlen. "Morning. I'm alright, unless you needed something..." She took a sip of water.

"Of course. Thank you kindly." He shook the man's hand with his strong one, smiling.

Trina blinked, watching the two shake hands. Is that what people wanted when they stuck their hand out? "I'm sorry...what is that you are doing?" She asked, never seeing such a strange offering before.

Arlen smiled, returning the shake, though probably not as strong as Richard. "It's a handshake," Arlen said simply, it didn't surprise him that she didn't know it, it wasn't a universal thing after all. "It's a gesture of greeting in some places."

Trina seemed to ponder this for a few moments. "Oh...thank you."

Richard rested both hands on his knees, giving the dark eyed woman a second glance. "Where have you been to miss what a handshake was? No one ever offered you one?" He saw that she looked a bit embarassed, and regretted speaking the words. "I...yes they have...I just did not know what it meant...I never 'shook' the offered hand, and no one seemed offended..." She said softly, and Richard hurried to repair the damage. "I'm sure they weren't. Sorry, just surprised that you didn't..." He turned his attention to Sapphire, smiling at her before nodding to Arlen. "Well met."

"Well met," Arlen replied to Richard before noticing Sapphire. "Oh, Sapphire, there was this guy looking for you the other day," he said, before scratching the back of his head, thinking. "I don't remember his name, but he had black hair i think.... That's not helpful at all is it?" He asks, blushing slightly, embarassed at his lack of memory.

"I don't know," Arlen said, offering her a hand up. "Are you alright?"
