Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was nighttime, and the moon was peeking its way over the tops of the trees. It shone on the shore of the mainland, and Eva's skin seemed paler. The air was cool, and there was an almost peaceful breeze running its fingers through her hair. It had been a while since she was on the mainland, especially for causes other than stealing. She actually didn't plan on stealing food this time, considering that the security had tightened since her last visit and she wasn't energetic enough to put up a fight.

She spotted a shop with its lights on pretty close by.
As she passed through the doors, her boots thumped on the wooden floor. The shelves of the store were stocked with food, and smelled of fresh fish and old wood. Eva sighed.

She grabbed two fish, some bread, and a large bag of almonds. She also picked up an apple and an avocado, which she placed on the checkout counter. Eva handed the woman behind the checkout counter the total, once she had been told how much it was. The lady eyed her suspiciously, and Eva looked away shyly. She might have seen her Liberathian features and deduced that she could have been a thief.

Eva's hood covered her face as she walked out, munching on the bread.

Eva was concentrating on the food, munching on it slightly while looking at the ground.
And she most likely had grown accustomed to the lack of people, for she didn't notice an old man until she accidentally ran into him and fell over.
"Ah, thank you!" she said as he handed her back the bread that almost went flying. The rest was either in her hands or safely tucked away somewhere in her bag or jacket.
But her hood had fallen down. Her facial features of a Librethian were now vaguely exposed in the moonlight. She realized it after a moment's silence and blank expressions.
Then she gasped and immediately looked away. Getting back up on her feet, she swiftly cloaked her head in the hood again and turned away.
"Sorry about that, thank you for catching my bread..." she said, as she made a sad attempt to walk in the other direction, hoping that she might get away...

Eva turned around only a moment once he asked for her name. She didn't want to come across as rude.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Eva," she said just before she turned around and started jogging in the other direction. She had no idea why she gave him her real name. It just seemed to slip out. Maybe she was out of practice. It was true that she hadn't carried on a conversation in a while.

Eva turned her head and continued jogging. She didn't know exactly where she was going, but she felt as though she needed to get away. Her legs carried her onward, turning random corners until she officially had no idea where she was going.

It was then that she looked behind her, for she thought that she had heard a noise in the bushes. True, it could have been a small animal or a gust of wind, but Eva was slightly paranoid tonight, so she turned around. However, her legs kept on going. She kept on trotting along, while looking behind her...

And then her body collided with something. It knocked her to the ground, and she couldn't see at first. But when she saw, she let out a horrendous gasp. She had run into a rather large torch that was set out like a lamp post to light the path. And she knocked it over.

"...Ah...ehh...." gasping noises escaped her mouth as she watched the torch post fall. It fell to the ground, and hit the bottom with a less gratifying thud. But the torch had already begun its work. The flames from the torch were engulfing the grass surrounding a building.

And the building looked important. In what seemed like two seconds, the flames that Eva knocked over were licking their was up the building. And Eva ran.

((mwuahaa >D ))

((awe, ok then, I guess Eva's just running if nothing on Tesa is burning xD ))

((Sorry Herelen. Read my next pm.))

"Yes, I shall accompany you. But first, I need time to prepare. I will be out soon." Leaving to the bathroom he brushed up, then, returning to the room, he lead Arya to the door before he changed. Exiting, he asked "May I pick up some bread from the bakery?" Then "I will go directly to the dock afterwards, just a little hungry." Lifting his book he awaited Arya's lead.

Eva awoke to the sound of birds chirping, both inside and outside of her head. The bright gleaming rays of the sun pierced through her eyes, causing her to fiercely squint. A throbbing sensation pounded on her forehead, causing a severe headache.

Sitting upright, Eva realized that she didn't remember much. She looked down at the grass, that still seemed to reflect the hazy bright light from the sun. Eva remembered running from a man she bumped into on the road when she was buying food... she was concerned that he might have seen her Liberathian features. And then she didn't remember much...

Until she looked up. Eva looked up to see a sturdy metal pole. A light post to be exact. Then it all came back to her. It explained why she was on the ground, and why there was a throbbing in her forehead. Anyone could have guessed it upon seeing her, but Eva was a bit slow today. She just now remembered that her head made a fierce contact with the metal light post. Then she fell backward and lost consciousness... apparently until this morning.

Eva jumped tremendously upon hearing the man's voice and seeing him pop down from the tree like a little old tree nymph ((lulz)). Next thing she knew, an apple almost hit her on the head. She managed to catch it, and proceeded to take a bite. The crunchy sweetness overpowered her taste buds as she realized that she hadn't eaten an apple in over two weeks. After swallowing, Eva nodded, realizing exactly who this man was. She stood up so that she was about eye level with him. "Yeah, I'm Eva... I didn't catch your name though..." she replied.
"Oh, sorry, thanks for the fruit," she said before taking another bite out of the apple's brightly contrasting red on the outside and off white on the inside.
