Zuri looked at Qore a bit suspiciously when he responded to her questions, but failed to mention what had happened to make him seem upset. Although she wanted to ask further about it, she decided otherwise, figuring he would tell her when he felt up to it. She watched him walk to the bench before entering the Pharmacy and asking the NPC politely for four small HP vials with a smile. When she received what she desired and paid the amount needed, Zuri took off outside to make sure Qore was still where he said he would be and sighed in relief when he was. She smiled toward him, not sure if he would see her or not and then walked over to him casually, but quickly.
Once she got the bench she sat down beside him and put her arms behind her head before stretching a bit and arching her back to do so. As she stared forward and about at her surroundings, enjoying the scenery of the town, she finally spoke up, having been quiet for a few minutes at this time. "So what are we going to do now, oh fearless leader?" She spoke in an upbeat manner and finally just turned her head to look at him.
After forking over the instrument, the girl listened to him say something about it. Of course, the words were over her head so she simply just looked at him with a puzzled expression. His reaction to her begging though was odd, telling her not to do it, but if she didn't look at him pleadingly, how would she get across her point? This only caused her to to have begged harder cause she had no other means, giving her the puppy eyes which could be said to be the strongest look one could give someone. As he spoke up again, taking a position to play the instrument, she tilted her head thirty degrees to the right at the word you. She had heard it before, it was referring to her, but it wasn't her. 'You' was sure a strange word didn't things have a name? Like that thing in the top left of her vision, if she knew what the letters meant or sounded like.
In a sense, she understood how the japanese didn't really use the word 'you' very often but instead names. Turning back her attention to what the man was saying, her head tilted further to about forty-five degrees as he mentioned clapping, hands, and other words she didn't know. What were these things? She had at least picked up that moving her head left and right meant 'no' as the male earlier more or less taught her. And she also had picked up that 'yes' was nodding the head up and down. She figured that these would be her guide to answering. With that, the male started to play some music again, the girl smiling brightly as she listened and nodding her head up and down at the first song.
Next came another nice song that was tied to the first peacefully. She smiled and closed her eyes, trying to mimic the male's action as he played the musical instrument. Though she jumped at the sudden change in tempo. The songs the started to play next put her on edge, quickly looking around to see if something was watching her. She couldn't help but to pull her legs in closer before shaking her head quickly left and right. "Nuuu..." Soon after that the male changed tempo again. As the soothing songs started again, she let out a sigh of relief and smiled as she nodded her head. Yet, he then started to play another eerie song. Quickly she cowered and hid her head feeling as if something was about to get her when he suddenly changed tempo again to a nicer songs once again.
It was interesting when he came to another as it wasn't really soothing, but not eerie either. She couldn't place how to describe it. As the male continued she smiled and rocked side to side with the rhythm of the song before smiling and nodding her head. She liked the more soothing songs and the ones she couldn't place but had a nice tempo to them. Though as the male came to a finish in his music, she rapidly shook her head up and down with a smile in her own way of clapping, which she didn't understand yet, cheering as she did so. "Yay!~" It was good music, she liked it, except for the eerie ones, cause those put her on edge and she didn't like that feeling.
[Caelum now likes soothing music!] [Caelum now dislikes eerie music!]

Qore had noticed Zuri come up beside him and have a seat, and then broke his pose. Zuri had asked him what was next, and feeling the sudden gravity of being a leader, decided to take action! "Hm.. something to eat would be great... there might be someplace that I can get the boar meats that I obtained cooked and served in some sandwiches..." He stated, wondering if boar steaks would go well in sandwich form... ((O.C.C))

Raising her brow with a bit of amusement as she waited for Qore's response, Zuri had to resist giggling when he first mentioned food and the sandwiches he wanted and how serious he seemed. When he finished proposing this, she stood up and stretched. She was pretty exhausted from their battle still, but she was more hungry and that took precedence over all at the moment. "Do you wish to lead the way? Or shall I initiate the search?" She said in an upbeat and joking manner before gesturing like a man would if holding a door open for a woman.

⇐═══╬═♦『Xai Ming Gwok』♦═╬═══⇒ Location: Town of Beginning - Street Action: Let us play together. Thomas' Theme: John Dreamer - Brotherhood
As Thomas played his instrument producing a series of sound to different short pieces of songs, he kept an eye on this little girl. She was a curious little girl and easily fascinated with his violin. As he did several songs into his demonstration, he noticed the girl had gone to nodding her head happily to the songs that sounded nice and the more eerie ones, she shook her head.
Did she not understand his earlier instruction to clap or did she not understand what he was saying? If that's true, communication may become rather difficult between them. At least in a certain Final Fantasy MMO where you could select keywords for certain key actions and the other player that did not speak the same language would be able to understand through these translated keywords on their end. So far, Thomas didnt find any keyword selecting menu here in Sword Art Online.
Once the last song came to an end, Thomas took a deep breathe and exhaled. He always enjoyed a little moment with his violin when he gets the chance. It calmed his nerves down when he was on edge. "Well! That's how it works!"
Thomas then handed the Violin back to the girl and stepped behind her. Reaching around, Thomas helped the girl hold the violin properly. Then with the girl holding the violin, Thomas helped her play Ode to Joy at an extremely slow rate so she could stay caught up to him.
As he played the song, Thomas sang along with it, hopefully the multiple input would make a better learning experience. "Freude schoner gotterfunken, Tochter aus Elysium..."

He grinned and walked onward, making his way through the crowd and walked up to a merchant's stand, asking "Excuse me, do you happen to know where a type of restaurant or grill will be?" after a few points and confused moments, the two came to a conclusion and Qore bid the man farewell, and turned back and faced Zuri. It should be down this way, let's be on our way..." He smiled, leading the way down a few streets until the duo were at the steps of a local grill, the scent of freshly searing steaks wafting from the open door... ((O.C.C: Sorry for the wait... ;= n =, by the way, will we have to pay for getting a meal cooked?))
The girl nodded her head quickly at what ever the male had said after the last song. Though she felt like there must have been something more she could do to show her enthusiasm about the music. Nodding was good, but it wasn't enough for her. So she had simply also tried shaking her in a closed fist manner in the air in a poor attempt to show enthusiasm. Though it did look like she was cheering for him a bit. When he approached, she stood up once more in time for him to hand her the violin. She was a bit confused by this, but she accepted it anyways. She was confused though why he had stepped behind him and tried to turn to face him, but he had reached around first and was manipulating her hands and posture.
"Fuwei?" She muttered in confusion but did nothing to stop him as she was both curious and confused. After a few moments, she found he had helped her into a position to be like that of the male's posture for playing the instrument. "Ah! Yay!~" She cheered before he started to help guide her in playing a song. It was a nice soothing song, though the girl found a bit of difficulty in holding down the strings of the violin. They were very strong and required much concentration for her to play play it. Surely this man was strong to be able to play such nice music. He seemed trust worthy though, he was teaching her after all! As he started to sing though, she was even more confused as his words were different than before. It wasn't like she understood them though, just that she could tell they were different than his previous manor of speech.
If not for the help he gave her in playing the instrument, she would have messed up at this point as she had nearly moved her head off the violin's resting spot to look at him quizzically. She managed to hold herself back though and waited till the song was over before looking at him with a puzzled look. She seemed to realize though her own language barrier and tried to think of how she might learn to communicate with him so that she could talk to him and ask questions. After handing him the violin, she spoke up. "Mmm... you...?" She said, pointing at the male, to see if maybe she could learn this language of his since she had no language of her own.

Zuri had smiled at Qore's response when he stood up. She followed him through the town until they finally came across the grill that smelled of delicious food. Closing her eyes as she took in the scent, Zuri finally stopped and immediately walked right in before heading straight for a table.

He then noticed that Zuri had already had taken a table for the both of them, and he sat at the same table, only beside her. When the waiter came over and asked the both of them for what they would both like, Qore asked, "May I have these two Boar Meats cooked and placed on some sandwich bread? and looked over at Zuri, wanting an indication of anything else that she wanted along with their meals... ((O.C.C: After a bit of discussion in the Guild Maintenance thread, I was told to set a base price for paying, how does 75 COL (for both) on my character's tab sound? ))

As Qore joined her at the table, Zuri smiled up at him while placing a napkin on her lap. She silently watched the interaction between Qore and the waiter with a polite smile before shaking her head to indicate that she didn't want anything else. She silently prayed that she was assuming correctly that Qore was sharing one of his sandwiches with her...

Transaction Complete: Total COL=785 Weapon: Novice Straight Sword - DMG 10-15 HP: 125/125 Inventory: 2 Boar Meats 4 Small HP Vials After Zuri had confirmed that she didn't want anything else, Qore was greeted with a trade menu, after depositing 75 COL and the boar meats as the transaction required, the waiter thanked him and went off to order up the food. While he waited, he silently tapped his foot to the tune that was currently on his mind, humming a bit of the melodic line. After a few minutes of waiting, the plates of food came about, and Qore eased a plate over to where Zuri was sitting. "It's on me!" He grinned as he then began devouring the food. Even though it was a game, he hadn't realized how hungry he was until he began eating. He had finished a third of the sandwich when he looked up from the food and asked Zuri, "So, what's our next move? Should we continue grinding until the sun sets?" he then dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin before continuing... ((O.C.C: ))

Zuri looked at Qore curiously when he started tapping and humming some tune. A small smile played across her face as she listened until she was distracted by the food returning, she turned her attention to the waiter to nod and smile appreciatively before looking back at Qore with some surprise when he said the food was on him. "Are you sure?! I can pay you back for my half... I'm even eating some of your food that you got..." But he seemed to just continue on by eating so she took a couple bites delicately of the sandwich, despite her great urge to scarf it down like Qore, who she laughed somewhat silently at. She placed the sandwich down for a moment when he asked what they should do next before nodding. "Maybe we could take on only a couple boars this time though..." she said softly, but in a more teasing tone.

"I guess we can be able to take on more than about two together on our next try as opposed to our last bout..." he continued, taking another bite of his sandwich. He then proceeded to take in the sandwich a little more slowly, eventually taking a bite at a time of the sandwich. He then focused his attention outside the window as the rest of the digital world went on without a care. Even though this world was just fabricated sprites and pixels, he couldn't help but feel that this place was another way to escape reality. He wasn't sure how his family and friends would react to his sudden inactivity in the real world, and his thoughts eventually branched out in that direction, forgetting that he was eating altogether...

When Qore actually suggested that they might be able to fight more than two again in battle, Zuri smirked with a bit of amusement and shook her head before continuing to slowly eat her sandwich. She looked back up at Qore after a few moments of silence between them and noticed that he was staring out the window absentmindedly. Raising a brow, she finished chewing and swallowed her previous bite and spoke up. "Something interesting out there?" She leaned over as she spoke, as if she was trying to see whatever it was that he was looking at...

He shook his head a bit and nonchalantly stated "Ah, nothing. I'm just... lost in thought..." and waved his hand in the air in a passive manner, as if dismissing something. The last thing that he needed was for his comrade to think that he had some kind of mental problem or think that he was an odd bird. He gave her a reassuring smile to hopefully change what she thought of him. ((O.C.C: ))
