Welcome to Gaia! ::

Niksia was wandering through the shops, a slightly random activity that got her out of the house at least once a day. The redhead's mind wasn't focused on what she was doing and so she slowly strolled along with her brown eyes set on the middle distance. Her front garden was suffering the winter blues still and there were no new flowers for her living room. It was just as well lately, one of her delightful floating pets had taken to dive bombing any display, leaving petals and leaves all over the floor.

Sighing softly, Niksia wondered if it was worth getting more flowers or not. She had already decided it wasn't going to hurt to look around, which was the first step in ending up with an arm full of roses or the like... Having a strange name, with a strange meaning, left her open to such a weakness.

Even as the mind tucked under flame shaded hair considered this, she glanced around at a nearby shop window and stopped without realizing it. A florist shop, which was spooky to begin with, and a red and black dressed person floating within.

Floating? Yes, floating. Imagination hadn't struck Niksia and made her a little nuts. It looked a bit like one of those Raevans... Taking careful steps, she walked quietly into the shop, already curious as to what would happen next.

The clatter of shopping hitting the pavement caught Vyn's attention. She drifted around to look out the windows at the pair of passersby who had collided outside the shop. However the serene mood of the shop had been smashed and she was left unaware of what to do, it didn’t seem right just to continue drifting through the flowers.

She inspected the scene through her inky eyes. Vegetables were rolling across the pavement, a long stick of bread was snapped in half and a couple of apples had bounced into the street. The people themselves were also of slight interest; one had long wavy black hair and was presumably the owner of the slight goods as she was kneeling gathering it up, the other lady had similarly wavy hair but like Vyn's own hair it was red.

She bit her lip, torn between staying inside, after all it wasn't actually anything to do with her, or being pleasant and helping them with the problem. The latter would probably attract a few stares from people passing and there was nothing that Vyn disliked more than being stared at by strangers, but if she was nice maybe they would come inside and buy something and that would please the owner.. It was the least Vyn could do to thank the old lady for letting her stay in the haven of light and flowers. The lady might even let her back again if Ethan needed another day without her for work.

Taking a deep breath Vyn floated to the door and outside.

"Can I help?"

Rachel started collecting her things, with this mess she'd have to come back to the city -again- and she groaned inwardly. She had better things to do then spend her days in the city, although lately with all the Raeven that were appearing she felt a little pull on coming more often. The Raeven were interesting, and she'd never really been out to explore the outside world; maybe it wasn't such a bad idea after all to come out. And when Vyn came out Rachel slightly turned to her still kneeling.

" Oh no no, don't want to be a burden. I made the mess so I shall pick it up. "
Although when she gave a glance at the scene around them, she would have gladly accepted help. Running after apple's wasn't her thing and she still hadn't found her cheese. She gave the woman she'd bumped into an apologetic look when she caught eye contact.

" I'm quite alright, I think the bread though and a few other items might not. "
She chuckled lightly, she'd fallen off horses numerous times she should be the one asking if the woman was okay considering Rachel had been the one to cause the whole thing in the first place. Standing up, she brushed herself off and tucked in her scarf. She wanted to find her cheese before someone else decided they might like a fine cup of wine with some cheese and bread.

Niksia slowly rolled a stray apple between her gloved hands as she crouched in front of the florist shop. She smiled faintly as the red and black Raevan drifted over and picked up the other woman's cheese. A little laugh passed her lips at the increasingly strange scene that was playing out. Hunched over outside a flower shop, dressed all in black and red, trying to help a stranger and being helped by a floating torso...

'The one that tried to get away.' Niksia indicated the offered cheese with a tilt of her chin.

Vyn was just turning to go back into the safety of the shop when the lady continued to request something. She floated back around, a slightly worried yet confused expression forming - she'd given back all the food, what did she want now? The request for a bag actually seemed pretty logical and Vyn nodded slowly. If she recalled correctly there were some plastic bags tucked behind the counter.. "Come inside.." She replied, almost whispering as she glided to the door, slipping back into the warm flower scented shop.

" Thanks. "
She gave a glance around her groceries, deciding weither or not to try and bring some stuff in. She didn't exactly like leaving strangers to pick up after her mess, so in an attempt to try and fix things she picked up a few loose items and put them into her pocket. Then grabbed the still usable bag and tried stuffing it as much as possible with other articles then propped the bag up and carried it inside.

The smell of flowers hit her nose and she wiggled it slightly. She was used to the smell since she came from the country, though with all the flowers condensed she almost felt like she'd entered a perfume shop. Her eyes roamed over the flowers, briefly stopping on some of her favorite flowers before she spotted the Raevan and traveled through the shop to her.

" I'm Rachel by the way. "
She would have extended her hand for a proper greeting but both were a little occupied. Her curiosity was getting the best of her, and she'd wanted to know the Raevans name.

Niksia passed the apple she'd be holding to the other woman, Rachel, so it could go in the bags she'd been given by the Raevan. Tucking her scarf under her chin shyly, she was surprised when the red and black girl asked her name. A faint blush rose across the redhead's face in response.

'Oh! I'm Niksia. Pleased to meet you.' The name came out as Nix-ee-ah, which made it sound stranger than it was. Shifting with a mild sense of nervousness, Niksia smiled at the Raevan and Rachel with a touch of embarrassment.

'Sorry about the trouble, it was nice to meet you both though. I need to go. See you around?' After ruffling her waves of red hair out of habit, Niksia waved to both and headed out of the florist shop.
