Another fine day for Thieving

A girl in a purple tank top and a leggings, complemented by a pair of mesh floral lace up sneakers. The colorful long hair whipped back and forth as the soft breeze skimmed her. The girl strolled along the busy street of the old buildings and bustling people walking by. Oak Town was no longer interesting to her, she had done much of the jobs and obtained the amount of jewels she needed and she was ready to step up to another town. The girl sighed as she counted the days, she had been far long in this town and she really needed to return to her guild and formally introduced herself to her guild master. She had no idea what was hindering her to go.

She stood in front of the park, she tilted her head as she wandered how she ended up here. Through her whole visit at the Oak Town, she had never gotten to the park, she decided to enter since she arrived already. The girl walked inside and found that not many people are in it. She was back in her own world,, she did not notice the surroundings, her legs were taking an adventure of their own but she was snapped back to reality when the little kids bumped into her as they were playing. The young boy fell down and scratched his palms, before the girl could help, the kids ran away, laughing without a care in the world. A small smile grace her lips as she found them laughing and playing around, she never had such nice childhood when she played around. She envy them in a way.

The girl, then noticed a male nearby pond, doing some kind of tapping and the girl did not pay much attention as she realized it was not really her business. Nevertheless, she walked towards the pond, unaware of the male's actions. The target was the huge oak tree nearby the pond that she would like rest upon after her strolling today.

As the girl rest under the oak tree, the gigantic tree gave her a shade she wanted and it was a perfect moment until a man she realized later, whom was near the pond asked her a random question which make the girl quite irritated. It was quite a non-sense question according to the girl. Eating sardines give you power? However, she decided to calm her temper since she promised herself to not cause problem in the stranger town.

"I suppose it depends on the priority," the girl told him as logically as she could and then decided to elaborate since it seemed the man did not mean to mock her and was sincerely asking her, "Power is more important than a mere dislike, no?" The girl answered with another question since it was her thought honestly. The girl would not mind a mere dislike, she would swallow the thought of her dislike for food if it meant her gaining more power but in this case, the girl had no problem as such. Nevertheless, she still have the thought that it was quite an illogical thing.¬¬¬

The girl then closed her eyes again and she got herself comfortable again, thinking that the man had gotten the answer he wanted and would leave, letting her get the peace of quietness. The girl thought of what she might need to prepare for her trip back to the hometown.

The breeze cooled down the humid weather and the clouds swayed towards the sun, blocking the sunlight reaching towards the people. The girl smiled as she rested herself under the oak tree and her eyes swallowed in the darkness, it was so peaceful until the man before whom had a dilemma of sardines and powers came and sat beside the girl. Through the closed eyes, she can feel the man beside her, due to the human warmth he emitted, a smile was starting to disappear again as she thought the man was going to argue at her or something. However, she was wrong and tad a bit surprised although she did not express the shock through her facial expression. The girl opened her eyes and tilted her body a bit so she was facing the man while still resting on the huge tree. "It's alright," the girl assured the man and she gave a small smile when he called himself foolish and childishly told her that he still hated the fish. The girl did not comment on that apart from the small smile. She did not judge the man, afte rall, people gave different opinions on everything and likes, dislikes inclusive.

The girl watched as the man gave her a card and a bottle full of fish. The girl's eyebrow raised a bit as she stared at the things in his hand while he offered her those. The girl did not want to accept those but it seemed that the man wanted to apologize for his randomness before so she decided to give him a chance to apologize and accepted both of them. She took a small bite of a sardine and noticed her small little pet, Dee, a tiny dragon was quietly resting beside her and was giving her a huge pity eyes. She decided to pity her pet as she treated the pet the sardine and nodded as he introduced himself, "Nice to meet you Feitan, I'm Kona," the girl in return told him. Dee, after filling its tummy, flew away. The girl did not worry as she was sure it would be back before night fall and it would find her no matter where she was.

Kona stared at the blank card and it was some kind of visiting card of a guild that she had heard of since she was still new getting used to Fiore. It was printed, Laughing Coffin, with a printed picture of their guild symbol, she assumed. Kona had no idea of the guild, it was also written that the card is worth one free mercenary hiring, and the girl tilted her head in thought. She had no idea why Feitan gave it to her as a thanks for the listening or something else. The girl noticed that Feitan was getting ready to leave but he was at a stone's away from Kona when she called out to voice out her confused thought of the card, "Excuse me Feitan," and if the male turned back to her, she would continue to ask about the card saying, "What is this card actually suppose to mean?" She would then confirmed something which will like be the right one, "You are a member of Laughing Coffin, I suppose?"
