Welcome to Gaia! ::

Siegfried continued to run. He did laugh at his predicament though, running, soaking wet, in his skivvies, from a young woman he was sure going to do something cruel like drowning him in a lake with a pair of concrete shoes, or even castration. The very thought sickened him to the point of him having to stop to confront his assailant. he skidded around and stood in a stance, his feet spread slightly, his poncho over his shoulder holding all his dry clothes and weapons and a hand outstretched, all five fingers spread, and he simply uttered the words, "wait, Hold up!!" all of this was backed by a serious expression and serious posture.

She nodded and stood up. As she stretched she looked back towards the forest. She knew regardless of were she was Yuuki would find her. She had been traveling for a few days, but that was nothing in comparison of what she was use to. If all went well she might even get some information on her parents where-abouts. She looked over to the most-naked man and shook her head. It seems to her that no matter how much time progressed there would always be a crazy half naked man running around.

"Still, there are many people in this city, and I'm sure they would rather not see a male stripper running about." Rhea glanced back at the woman, still guiding them down the street. "Isn't that right, my dear?" She paused, a sly grin upon her face. "Then again, some of us do not mind at all..."
"No matter!" Rhea exclaimed, while opening the door to a building, the sign hanging above with the word 'Inn' painted in gold lettering. "Here we are! The finest place to stay in the River Clan... that is... other than my own place. Unless you'd rather stick with me and this other lovely lady and learn the town."
Clicking her tongue against the roof of her mouth, Rhea looked at the two and grinned. "I am Rhea, by the way, leader of the River Clan."

Siegfried froze in his tracks as his face washed over bright red. "Leader.... Of.... River Clan," he said to himself. Many people stared at his under dressed fashion sense, some whispered to each other, others frowned with distaste.
"scuse me a minute," and with that started to put his clothes back on. His skivvies were more or less on the damp side but otherwise all that had to dry was his hair. He slipped on his leather pants and then hopped on one foot trying to get on one boot, then the other. Right when he was about to slip the first one on he tripped and fell sideways into a cart toppling the dinner all over the place. His situation was getting worse as he slipped the boot on and then the other with no trouble at all. Then several leather straps with slots filled with bullets and shotgun shells fell out along with his weapons. The mere sight of the arms made many gasp with worry. He quickly picked them up and strapped the ammo belts to himself and threw the poncho over his bare torso.

"No need to worry guys, they're empty see?" Siegfried's finger slipped on the trigger and fired a shot from his revolver upward, shattering a clear glass skylight. Several thick, large chunks fell into the floor before him like large knives. Sweat drops beaded from his forehead as he holstered both weapons and quickly followed Rhea, whistling to himself, as if nothing happened, or so he hopped.

"So... what did you manage to break, kiddo?" Rhea inquired as the young man caught up to her. "Don't worry, I'll pay for the damage you have caused. Do you know how rude it is to not introduce yourself to a lady when she has given herself away to you? Hmmm?"
Without even waiting for him to respond, Rhea continued. "Mm... leather pants... tell me, what happens on a hot, humid day? I'd like to see... haha!"

"Oh uhh... heh heh, I'm Siegfried, I'm a traveling magician from the land of illusions. Leather does get hot in the summer I suppose," his face was red but he kept a strait composure.
" I came to River clan because I wanted to make a request. Ya see, I specialize in enchantments and bonds and I needed something that can help with water and ice enchantments, which makes sense in the river clan right? Trouble is I need water that always stays cold and ice that will never melt, but the trouble is, they're supposed to be in a cave below one of the lakes..... so umm... Can you give me any leads?"

*Hearing Rhea yell over the crowd for him, he started to prepare her favorite bowl of ramen so it would be ready for her when she made it through the crowd*
