Slowly getting to her senses, Ruby opened her eyes once again in the world of Terrasphere. She was sitted down leaning on a tree, exactly on the same place she was before she logged off. Her hands rubbed on the fresh grass, she took the time to breath the pure air of Maithe Woodlands... It was the second time she had logged in the game, but it was still amazing how everything could be so real. Taking her time to adapt to the new reality, she stood up and looked at her surroundings. Yes, it was a forest... Yes, she and the Faerin got in separated ways after clearing that dungeon... Yes. Now what? The girl blinked realizing that she wasn't entirely sure on what to do, but it was clear that the priority would be finding a Town. 'If my memory isn't playing tricks at me, Manya said something about a village.' She rubbed her chin, considering where to start... There was supposed to have a path that would lead to Honeyhome Village, but the Felis took a different route on her first time playing, and now she was in the middle of the woods. She twitched her right ear. 'Well, I think I will just try to go back to the Beginner's Cave entrance and I will find my way from there.' Ruby thought, grabbing her Liuqin to pull a few strings, letting out musical notes as she walked away. ... 'I... I am going to the right way?' After fifteen minutes walking, the girl stared at a familar tree. 'I'm almost sure I already passed here.' She frowned- 'Well, it's probably just my imagination. Keep going, Ruby.' The girl walked away once again, playing a soft yet insecure song on her Liuqin. ... Indeed. The world of Terrasphere was so real- *SLAP!* The girl's right hand hitted her left forearm, barely hitting the obnoxious insect. Everything was so real. A grumble slipped from the girl's lips. From the beautiful chorus of the birds~ ... To the most annoying of the mosquito bites. And then! After fourty minutes walking around, the girl finally found-! The exactly same tree she have passed for the last three times. "Ah really?" Frustrated words finally escaped from her throat as she pulled her Liuqin strings, letting out a scratchy sound. Ruby was a fairly intelligent girl, but being someone that barely needed to leave the place she lived had a huge consequence: Her sense of direction was horrible. She held her face with her left hand, squeezing her string instrument on her right hand. The girl needed someone... Someone to tell her the way out of that madness- It was then, that a small bird landed beside the Felis. Her left ear twitched and she looked down to see the small animal. Well... That was a game, so it was worth a try. She slowly crounched down, gently brushing her hair away from her face. "H-Hello little one, can you show me the way out of this forest?" The bird stared at the girl with a gravely confused expression. 'What in the world I'm doing?' Her eyes narrowed. @Aalam Abungu
There was something right about the wood that was different than the city; even it didn’t have as many bars. That’s why he always carried the flask with him at the time a little pick me up when the job goes to heavy. It might have been the peace that he felt here in recent days it was the place that he had first entered, and it was the place that he had met Lady Sola, by the gods sometimes he missed her. If Ezra was a light that helped him, then Sola was forgiveness, and he needs someone who knew him from back then. Someone who remember before he became what he was, but that was going to a thought for another day. There was still work to be done after all, and if Zeus was any indication, then this was going to be a long day seeing as the bird was hungry. Letting out a loud whistle that bounces through the woods until he heard the sound of thunder that always told him when he was getting close. Holding out his hand and allowing the bird to rest on it, stroking his head. “Hello, little one ready got to get some dinner?” Well if the sound of that caw was any indication, then he was good and hungry letting him rise back in the air and pulling his cloak around him as he threw on his stealth. He was not going to cause the bird's dinner become alert and get away. So he started walking as he keeps his stealth it was nice to practice, and as recent times have shown him, he needs to get better. However, there was a sound drifting through the wood a sweet sound it reminds him a bit of something Cain might have played in his earlier days. IT wasn’t something the Muse would play now so he followed the sound to where it might lead; Zeus was a smart bird and would find him anywhere. So he followed the sounds as he leads him to a girl, and judging by her equipment she was either very new or just terrible at Terra. So he followed her, and it was made official she had been walking in a circle for the last forty minutes, she was new. However, he keeps watching maybe she was going to find her way back on the path, after all, there were some game skills that translate into Terra. She was talking to a bird, an untrained wild bird as was expecting it to talk back. It was time for him to step in this was just……. He didn’t have proper words. It was time for him to step in waking into the area. “That is a normal bird; it will not speak back because it’s a bird. I take it your new.” @Crimson Ruby
Of course the bird wouldn't answer as the girl expected, making her let out a sigh- But what she didn't expect was that someone was following her all that time, just to suddenly reveal their presence by saying something that would make the girl flinch and look at the them startled. Staring at @Aalam Abungu, it took a frame of second for Ruby's mind process what was going on, before shame and embarrassment filled her body, making her cheeks blush. "A-Ah! Y-You see- I-It's not-" Words and words would slip from the girl's throat, vainly trying to explain the misunderstanding as everything came out as a big non-sense. "I... I wasn't actually talking to it! I-It was just... Impulse!" The Felis was screaming internally, to think someone would see her doing something as childish as trying to talk to an animal... But it was too late, there was nothing she could do to revert the situation anymore. Knowing this, the girl quietly sighed and looked away. "Y-Yes, I am new... And I am lost, I think." Ruby said quietly, avoiding eye contact and embracing her Liuqin.
