Glass moon

[yuki]

Jiro walk along a dirt road that people didn't really use, his hair shineing in the moon light. Glanceing around he didn't see anyone, so he said down by the edge under a large tree.

[Kender Bard]

A young woman, ravishing some might call her, strolled past Jiro. Stumbling on a loose cobblestone, she cursed softly. A basket containing some goods spilled to the ground. Fussing over the more breakable items, she scooped them back in a haste and rushed off. Unbeknownst to her, she'd left her coin purse, laden with copper, on the ground.

[yuki]

Jiro looked at her, watching as she left. Something shine where she had dropped her items, "Why does everyone bother me?" he mutter under his breath getting up. Grabbing her coin purse he rush behind her, "Miss, your purse. Miss..." he jog faster, his hair a bright red blur as he ran towards the women.

[Kender Bard]

Nani stopped, looking over her shoulder with a slightly irritated look - until she saw what it was he held."Oh!" Suddenly her disposition swung into something a little more sunny. "Thank you!" She held out her hand, prattling, "Oh, I'm sorry I was so clumsy. I'm usually far more graceful than that."

[yuki]

"Your welcome, but why on earth are you here of all times?" he ask. Handing her the purse he stand straight, his worn cloths more noticed now. Jiro shift his weight from one foot to the next, really the first person he's seen since morning.

[Kender Bard]

Tossing her head so that her hair fell back against her shoulder, Nani explained, "I don't get much time during the day to get mundane things done, so I pay someone to do my shopping for me. Unfortunately, today they weren't readily available so I had to do my errands at this late hour. I was going through this area as a short cut to my home." With a quirk of a smile, she admits, "I owe you for returning my money instead of keeping it for yourself. How about I treat you to dinner as way of thanks?"

[yuki]

Jiro's brow raise, "Really? Well, I'll have to take you up on that offer." he say looking kindly at her, "Do you have children?" he ask, a shiver ran down his spine.

[Kender Bard]

Nani paused, frowning thoughtfully at Jiro. "No," she admitted. "I look a bit older than I am. Truth be told, I am only sixteen." A haughty look stole over her face. "Everyone guesses differently. Ah well, cursed with early maturity you know? My little brother was much the same. Come on." She points off towards the heart of the city. "I keep my home close to work." Beckoning, she walked off at a quick pace.

[yuki]

"W-wait..." he said reaching out, missing the grab for her shoulder he hurry along. A sigh came from him, at least he'd get a meal but he was far from done with traveling.

[Kender Bard]

Nani paused and looked over her shoulder inquiringly. "Is something wrong?"

[yuki]

"N-nothing, lets go." he rush ahead of her. He look down, not knowing what whould happen next.

[Kender Bard]

Nani shrugged nonchalantly, leading Jiro deep into the heart of the city. They passed by a store that sold rather expensive, fashionable garments. With a smile, she pointed and remarked, "I work there. My home is right.." Pointing a couple buildings down, she proclaimed, "There." The building in question was shaped like a turtle shell, though more domed than realistic, and glimmered with blue and green stones.

[yuki]

Jiro looked the buiding up and down, reminding him of his old pet turtle Yami. He sigh and look into the dark window where she work, "I didn't catch your name, I'm Jiro." walking on he look at her, a smile appear.

[Kender Bard]

"Oh!" she exclaimed, blushing and giggling as she opened her front door. "I'm so rude, aren't I? My name is Nani. Nice to meet you, Jiro. Come on inside and make yourself cozy."
