Cinura was sitting patiently in the hospital lobby waiting for Cy - what was taking that confounded human so long? Honestly! She was probably distracted, she mused, using her right front arm to page through an outdated copy of Redbook. It was quite possibly the most boring thing she had ever read, but she couldn't exactly run around, not with her front left ankle broken. Well, fractured. She had her precious Shi'Hana doll in her maw, carefully held onto so her teeth wouldn't pierce its soft-yet-durable fabric.

She put down the magazine and began to groom the worn doll's feathers. Cy had bought it for her only a few days after the pair had met, and she'd carried it with her ever since. There were stitch marks on it where Dr.Ray had sewn it back together.

Where was that girl?

(3.1)

((DERP I forgot to mention she had a human form. I hope thats okay. XD;; ))

Blodeuwedd made her way out of the hospital room, adjusting her mask on the side of her face. She still had the limp in her leg from her old injury. She flipped her white hair back over her shoulder. She adjusted her shirt slightly and then made her way down the hall. She seemed to no be to confident at the beginning of her limping strode, but managed to gain some confidence as she made it farther down the hall. She smiled to herself. She liked the  hospital for some reason. It made her remember the old days, that weren't always the best.

Once she got out of the hallway and into the lobby, she smiled at the fellow people who waited in the lobby. Something that caught her eye was the Black Dragoony that sat in the seat with a plushie. She smiled and limped over to the Dragoony and sat on the seat next to her. She needed to wait to pay anyways, why not have a nice conversation with someone else waiting in the lobby? She smiled and then said, "Hello. Are you waiting for a friend?" She asked, not wavering, noticing that her blind side was facing the Dragoony. She couldn't she what she was doing, but she pushed those worries down.

((Click on the image for her human form. XD And yes, she's wearing shoes. Those are technically socks, but imagine them as shoes. -shot- XD))

[rayquaza7996]

(Not a problem! Cinura doesn't have one, but Cy is one xP)

Cinura looked over and saw a girl - whoever it was was either a human or a creature in human form, which was pretty common; a lot of beasts seemed to have them, unlike herself - dressed rather somberly. She smiled, showing off her not-hugely-threatening, shiny, white teeth. She had them filed short every now and then or they got painfully crowded. She was really very large for a Baal Dragony, but she assumed that was breeding; there had been a small unit of others like her.

"Yeah, my best friend. She was supposed to come meet me after they finished my cast, but she's pretty easily distracted...I'm Cinura, by the way." She smiled, picking up her plush with her tail. Cinura hadn't always been hugely social. Dr. Ray would be so proud of her.

As she spoke, she carefully studied the woman sitting next to her. Some habits never change, and she still overanalyzed everything. She had some sort of thick mask draped over the closer half of her face; it didn't look like the girl could see through it. Perhaps she was used to it, or it had a fine mesh or something. Her hair was quite pale, but it didn't look dyed, and she didn't look elderly, so she probably wasn't human after all. She seemed fairly slender - her friend Cy had put on a bit of a pudge as of late, although she wasn't heavy enough to be called fat - and her top had a rather odd, almost gear-like pattern to it.

She was lovely, really, in that grim, emo-ish way, like Cinura had been back when they met, or like their neighbor, Steve. Although Cinura had worked her way out of gut reactions to appearances, she still got a bit of a chill from her manner of dress - the black reminded her of mourning - just not enough to cause a visible reaction.

(her speech is bolded because her associated text color is black, lol)

[auntslappy282]

Blodeuwedd smiled with the half of her face that worked, and she turned to the Dragon. "Oh, so you hurt yourself? Oh, but a silly question that is," She said with a slight chuckle. "I'm Blodeuwedd. I just came here to get a routine check up at the Hospital. Better to make sure everything's... Healing all right," She said with a small smile. She fixed her mask again and sighed slightly. She would have to continue going to the hospital for as long as she lived, just in case her wounds got infected.

She turned to Cinura, and smiled. "So, do you live around here? I'm just here wondering through, but I was meant to spend the night here, since I have a hotel and all. So I have an afternoon to waste. If your busy, I wont interfere, but It would just be nice to hang about some people who know there way around, you know?" She said, turning her head again as a nurse came up with a board for Blodeuwedd to fill out. She smiled and thanked the nurse as she began to fill the list out.

((Tottaly fine. ^^))

[rayquaza7996]

"Yeah, tripped on a rock while I was out in the rainforest!" She sighed. "Routine checkups suck, Cy still has to get 'em." It was true, once every two months - a psychological examination, and if it turned out poorly, meds until the next one. Only so much of her depression had been set in issues that needed fixing; parts of it were the sort that required medicine and the marvels of modern technology.

"Oh, yeah! Cy and I live just four or five blocks away! We don't tend to plan much ahead - niether of us have relationships, and I suppose other than her I don't have friends, at least not any that live in Barakka - so if you'd like, I could show you around! Cy should be here any second, literally."

And just a second later, a slightly-pudgey, black-haired girl wearing dark gray jeans and a black open jacket over a green shirt, as well as green shoes walked in.

"Cy!!" Cinura hobbled over.

"One and only. Who's your friend?"
[Reference - yes, the background is black, my computer saved it wrong, lol, yes it says Cinura, because I was being stupid]

[auntslappy282]

Blodeuwedd smiled at what Cinura had to say. It was always nice to know that there are nice people in the world. She finished filling out the clip board and then smiled at the new comer. "Hello, Cy. I've already heard a lot about you. I'm Blodeuwedd. It's very nice to meet you. If you'll excuse me for a second, I need to return this clipboard and pay for the bill," She said with a smile and a slight bow as she headed towards the counter of the hosptial and returned the clip board and paid for the visit with a credit card.

She turned around and began heading towards the others, limping on her way. Once she got to the group, she smiled and said, "I'm fairly new in town, and I have a day or so to waste here. So I just happened to run into her here, and was curious if she'd like to show me around. If you guys are busy, however, I wont intrude," She said with a slight smile.

She knew exactly how odd she looked, with a mask obscuring half of her face and all, but she hoped they wouldn't ask. She'd rather not show off her the side of her face that had been ruined due to a rather dreadful accident a few years ago. It still was rather disgusting to look at, even for herself.

((Derp,  we have those days. ;3 Like me, all the time. xD))

[rayquaza7996]

"Nice to meet you," she said as the girl went to pay her bills.

"Not a problem. I already mailed my letter - gotta send 'em to my old doctor, he lives in Medicai - I've got time." Cy didn't think much of the mask - she figured that since the girl was from out of town, it might be some houte-coutre thing from wherever she lived. Back in Medicai all those people wore those creepy nose-beak-horn-mask-things. Some sort of doctor's thing (or she lived in a crazyhouse; her doctor was a therapist, after all). Anyways, it wasn't like she had always dressed normally. She remembered streaking her hair with many shades to create a smooth gradient running down it perfectly, colored contacts, the works. And anyways, she was apparently (according to Cinura's suspicions) a beastie in human form, and she still remembered how weird Leer had looked as a human - he had had a heart mask over his entire face. That had been strange.

"For starters, we should show her the marketplace. It's pretty near here, isn't it?" With its proximity to the exciting, colorful jungle, Nabias had a little bit of a tourism focus. Cy nodded. "That sound good to you? It's a lot of fun even if you don't have money, there are a ton of artists who paint the jungle and stuff, and scuplters, dressmakers...

[auntslappy282]

Blodeuwedd smiled and laughed as the suggestions kept pouring out of Cy's mouth. "Where ever you two would like to go, I am fine with. It's a lovely day outside, and we should go embrace it! Come! Lets head out onto an adventure of fun!" She said, a rather large smile spreading across her face. She practically skipped to the door, though it was awkward because a limp was added to that factor, causing her to limp skip, looking awkward and like she'd fall any moment. Once she got to the door, she held it open for the others to exit, she was way to excited.

((SO SORRY. ;3; I had a crappy week, (Just ask Mousen. XD) And my muse died since school started, and I'm sorry this sucks so much. <33 Please forgive me? ;3; <3))

[rayquaza7996]

Cinura hobbled over cheerly, not used to three-legged-walking but in too good a mood to care. As much as she was fond of Cy, it did get lonely sometimes! The human girl followed, keeping pace with her good friend. The strange little step-hop the Dragony was doing was reminiscent of a three-legged dog.

"The marketplace is just a little bit down the road, to the right!" Cinura grinned. She was following Blodeuwedd on the girl's left side. "Cyyyyy, did you bring your wallet?"

"I already told you, I mailed a letter. That costs money, 'Nura. Of course I have my wallet."

Nabias was a cheery town, and you could hear some of the sounds of the marketplace - music and laughing and talking, the sounds of bartering and buying and singing - already. The sidewalks were hardly crowded, although there were a fair amount of cars in the road. Cy sighed.

"Don't cross the street unless you're in a light! The traffic gets heavy and you could get hit, it happened to our neighbor's wife!"

((not a problem! Stuff turned up for me, too...:C College is haaaard lolololol, 'specially when you're trying to fit dragonlizardmanthingdollmaking into the mess. Their neighbor is Steve, his wife is Bella, they have 2.5 children and golden retriever. xP))

[auntslappy282]

Blodeuwedd followed happily over to the street with the others. She giggled a bit as Cuinura asked if she had her wallet. Of course, Blodeuwedd, herself, had her wallet. So if Cy happened not to have it, she would cover for any expenses that ended up needing to be paid for. She smiled and watched as the cars went past. She never did like busy streets, and the story Cinura told made a shiver run down her back.

Ever since the day of the accident that caused her to loose her sight, she had never enjoyed big cities or anything of the sort. However, her job had made her need to travel much more, and thus, needing to go through large cities.

Blodeuwedd nodded at Cinura. "Trust me, I would never try to cross a street with out the light going. Is your friends wife okay?" She asked. She knew how she ended up, but she hoped the wife was fine and still living. Hopefully not majorly injured like she was, or mentally hurt by it. She sighed slightly and looked up at the clouds.

((Okay, I will reply faster, promise. XD))

[rayquaza7996]

"Yeah, they managed to fix her up, but she had to go through a lot of physical therapy. It was kind of a cautionary tale for all of us...we hadn't been living here more than a month, and there were almost never any cars in Medicai." Cinura smiled. "Steve was very supportive of her throughout the whole thing. They're a really cute couple."

Sometimes it felt like the streetlights took forever. They did spend longer letting cars go through on this particular light, since it was a heavier traffic area, but it was still a bit of a drag. Cinura huffed impatiently.

"I sure wish these things would go - oh, there we are!" The Walk light turned on and Cy strode out onto the rode, Cinura hobbling as quickly as she could. "It's a good thing this one takes a while, it's so hard to walk with a stupid broken ankle!"

((Sorry that this is a bit of a short post - I couldn't think of anything else to say.))

[auntslappy282]

Blodeuwedd nodded. It was a lot like her story, though no one loved her during that time to be supportive. She sighed slightly and than looked at the stop light. She was almost threatening it to turn faster, and than it did. She chuckled at Cinura who was also threatening the stop light to change. She nodded at Cinura. "I agree. Walking with a broken leg is no fun at all, but I guess you learn how to use it over time," She said with a slight smile. She continued down the street till they got to the other corner.

She looked around a bit, and then turned towards the others to wait for there next directions to get the the supermarket. She felt bad for the wife, she really did. Something about that story really struck her, probably because she, herself, had been in the same shoes. She sighed slightly, and looked down at her semi robotic leg. It really was a shame they couldn't make it perfect, or fix her face, but it was fine, they would just be scars of her past.

((LOOK ANGST. XD And it's fine. ^^ <33))

[rayquaza7996]

Cinura looked like she was going to respond, but Cy glanced at her and she fell silent. The girl looked like it was a sensitive issue, although her four-legged friend wasn't the most sensitive to such things. Cinura had been employed as a soldier, after all, not a student.

From the street, it was just a short walk to the market. Large and open, it was a huge tourist attraction, where local people would hawk their wears, usually to people visiting the rainforest. Most of the stuff was gaudy and souvineerish, but there was still a definite charm to it. And even with all the souvineer shops, there were a few very practical stores - including a great place to buy bugspray, a nice scarf and hat shop, and a cute little stand that sold chicken, turkey, and fresh pototaoes.

"We buy hats and scarves here, and stuff to include when we're mailing Dr. Ray." Cinura smiled. "Ooooh, look!" She hobble-ran over to a small stand where a man was selling jewlery made out of pieces of twisted scrap metal, and even little pieces of the metal itself.

Cy rolled her eyes. "You want more stuff for your horde, now? Honestly, Nura, it's just trash." The salesman looked offended at that statement, but she hardly cared.

The market was a very important place to Cinura. When they had first gone to Nabias, she had hardly been able to go there, the sounds and colors and occasional crashing sounds messing with her. Now, seven months later, she hardly ever had such troubles. To her, it was a symbol of growth, and Cy understood that - in fact, it was a big part of the reason she was willing to shell ou five bucks for a little piece of scrap metal on a chain.

"Do you like chicken?" Cy asked Blodduweld.

[auntslappy282]

The look of amazement spread across Blodeuwedd's face. She smiled and looked at the shops around her. She felt like a young girl again, skipping through the stalls of her imagination looking for goods to buy. She had never actually been to an open air market in her life, so it was a first. Her heart beat like a crazy kid full of adrenaline to buy many things. She smiled, and her good eye widened with excitement.

She followed the others, and she watched everything with excitement. She looked at the "trash" that Cy had classified them as, and she saw one in particular. It caught her attention. It looked almost like a clock, but not quiet. She saw the one Cinura was eying, and bought them both. She limped back over to the others, a wide grin on her face.

"Here you go Cinura," She said as she handed the gift over to her. She put her own in her pocket. She listened to everything around, though some of it was hard to understand, due to her muffled hearing. She looked at Cinura, smiling and nodding at her question. "Yes! I do like chicken!" She smiled. She couldn't contain her excitement much more, she needed to relax over a meal.

((OOPS MY MUSE DIED. I'M SORRY. ;3;))

[rayquaza7996]

It's more fun to watch the girl's face than the market itself, Cy mused with a grin. Blodeuwedd's face was full of a cheery, infectious enthusiasm - it rather reminded her of Ray himself, and she could practically see the catboy wondering over the marvels of the market. She rolled her eyes. All of these people were so aderpable.

Cinura looked a bit surprised when Blodeuwedd purchased the scrap - and even more surprised when she gave it to her. Taking it gingerly in one of her face-tentacles, she nuzzled her new friend.

"Thanks a ton!" Cy looked down at the dragony and smiled. Her dear friend seemed quite cheery. She reached down, taking the necklace and hooking it around Cinura's neck, as the dragony lacked the thumbs required to do it herself.

"Good! There's a very good chicken place in the market. I'll cover it, my treat. Can't let a friend of Nura's go hungry, 'specially one that's my friend too." She was aloof, in some ways, but it was okay. That was just Cy's nature.

(Not a problem~)
