STOP SHOVING!! || Kariline and Kihia ( To Earthland and Beyond )

The sun beat down as she stood among the people. She had never been to another land before and really thought it would be interesting to visit the different types of people that were around Fiore. It just so happened that the magic Council was giving out passports ( as long as you had money for them ) so you could visit these lands. Kariline was surrounded by children as she stood patiently in the line. This was getting boring just standing here, why couldn't they move faster? The line went all the way down the block, and they have two lines set up, how many people where there in Hargeon Town? Or did they come from all around?

Kariline felt a sting in her back as she found a hard elbow right in her spin, she gritted her teeth as it took everything she had not to turn and punch the guy right in his face. The woman turned to look at the man behind her, and to her surprise she just ended up smiling.

Kihia was waiting patiently waiting in line to get a passport, trying to make sure he wasn’t going to hit anyone in the head with his weapon. He sighed because of how long the line seemed. He had only recently joined Lamia scale, and was feeling a little more comfortable now since he met some of the members already.  He was looking around observing the two lines, "I guess this is a normal occurrence in a large town…” he thought to himself.

He sighed once more, he somewhat missed the mountain range where he came from. He then turned his head and looked at the ocean for a long minute; he then turned not noticing the woman in front of him that his right elbow just bumped into as he turned. When he felt something hit his right arm he tensed, and looked to the person he accidentally hit. He was surprised to see Kariline in front of him relaxing her jaw and smiling, “I apologize for accidentally elbowing you Kariline… I wasn’t paying attention to who was around me…” he said calmly. He was again trying to hide his emotions although he wasn't doing that great of a job of that today.

Her expression changed as she realized it was Kihia who was standing behind her, how she didn't notice that before, she wasn't sure. She gave a relaxed grin, " No No i got to close. " She said apologetically, it wasn't neither of their faults but she noticed how quiet he could be, she dint know what would upset him and what wouldn't. She turned back to look at the lines, they were moving a bit faster now, it seemed like they recruited some extra help, they only had like ten more people in front of then.

Good she was about to have like heat stroke or something. Kariline looked back up at Kihia, he was taller than she was, but not by too much so she didn't have to crank her neck up, " How are you liking Guild Life?" She asked rather curious if he felt like he was fitting in or not. She didn't settle in till like a few months later, when people finally quit giving her dirty looks.

Kihia didn't respond right away as he usually does, he simply turned his gaze back to the ocean. He thought for a moment of how calm the ocean looked, he then looked at Kariline. "It isn’t that bad so far… I will just take me a while to fully adjust to my new…settings.” He said finally responding to her. He was use the cold and quiet mountains, where he grew up, so getting adjusted to a harbor city was taking a while. He shook his head a moment trying to clear his mind of thoughts of home before he got homesick.

He then finally noticed the line was moving faster than it was and breathed a sigh of relief. He rolled his left shoulder, then his right pretending to stretch a bit. He heard a small popping sound when he rolled his right shoulder. He frowned “It probably is getting a little stiff from the climate; I haven’t done a full maintenance on it for a week…” He then asked trying to keep his voice completely calm “What kind of missions have you done before with the guild?” He asked this to try and change the subject before any questions were asked about the frown, and he always liked hear tales of his companion’s adventures. After he asked her this, he noticed there were only a few more people in front of them and started searching his pockets for the various things he needed.

She actually had a bead of sweat run down her face, how she wished she knew ice magic, or water magic to cool down, anything but Hell magic. She sighed and pulled out her records. It was her turn now, Kariline set them down on the table and noticed how long it took him to answer why was he hesitant. She lifted an eyebrow and answered his question. " Yeah i have been on a few, One with Talen to beat up some jewel thieves, and one by myself to defeat a dark wizard, that is why im getting a passport to do jobs outside of Fiore. Ive always wanted to see other lands."

She got her passport stamped and it was handed to her, she slipped it into her bag, and it woke Lillitha up who was napping, she peeped her head out and once she figured out where she was, Lillitha simply blew a kiss to passerbys as Kariline started to walk away, " Ill see you back at the build Kihia!" She said with a wave.

Kihia waved back at Kariline, and put down his records and information. He was trying to get done with this as fast as possible so he could go to his room at the Guild hall and do a full check and repair on his prosthetic arm. After a long moment, the clerk finally stamped Kihia's passport and handed it to him. Thankfully it isn't too bad that the damage is impeding the use of the arm yet, but even then I must hurry, he nodded in thanks to the clerk. He then put his pass port and records in one of his pockets and started to head back to the guild at a pace faster than he normally goes.
