"You okay Ha-Yun? That was very sudden, what did you see?"

"I swear I saw someone that looked like my...uh, old friend, but it couldn't be her," Ha-Yun says. She was clearly disappointed that all that was there was trash cans. "Unless..but they have never been seen here before," she frowns. She was clearly kind of talking to herself, but everyone could hear it.

Zencho pant a bit. "It is what it is. At best you have found hope, at worst it's what ever you came in terms with." He try to sound wise.

Chispa runs at the narrow alley, scratching her shoulder against a wall in the process. Her chainmail clinging and ringing. "Phh.. you... shh... stop... wait..." That's all she can say. She pants heavily, her body bended forward, for few moment. "Arayat... sent.. me.. I.. saw you..." she needs another moment to regain controls, then straighten up and says: "Wow! You are difficult to find! Luckily I saw the last of you dashing this alley." she looks around. "Arayat sent me. I'm part of your group. I was a little bit carried away in a conversation about automatic doors and how illusions might be used to hack them, so I was late for the meeting, but anyway..." she looks around again, "Are you chasing a criminal you saw in the patrol?"============================================================ (OOC: Hi. I joined the game a bit later than you. I'm playing Chispa and you can see the details including the backstory here: Chispa Herrería Cima de la ColinaNice to meet you all.)

The woman standing before the group is very, very short for a dwarf, even shorter than Livana. She has fair skin with a pinkish hue and brown hair hastily weaved together into a single braid. Her eyes are brown and her face is round and currently flushed from the effort of running. She's wearing dirty grey robes that seem to be stained with soot and ash and her accent marks her as being from San Citlán.

"Hope or closure," Ha-Yun says. "I'm not sure it is either," she adds before she seems to perk up. She turns to face the newcomer. "I thought I saw something, but it looks like I was mistaken," she says. She looks a little embarrassed. "I'm sorry to lead all of you down here for nothing."

"Running off on patrol suddenly can be dangerous. Next time, perhaps we can quickly notify someone, then quickly approach perhaps in pairs, or I guess a pair and a triple now. This way the first group isn't someone going in alone and if it is a trap being closed in from behind, then the second group coming in 30-60 feet behind will be able to break the trap easier. Yes, this will take more time, but the delay should only be about 5-10 seconds which for the improvement in safety should be worth it."
OOC: I realized I should clarify: sarcastiksh0rtee37 doesn't care about running off on your own suddenly, but Vulpi has a militaryish background and therefore does care.

Livana is sort of intrigued by this newcomer, for several reasons. Of course, she intends to keep up a good professional attitude, even if all this is exciting. Vulpi set a great example for her to follow.
"Yes, that's really good advice. We stay close enough for safety, but just far enough that we can be ready for anything when we need!"

With that decided, the party continues on their way to the Trade Discal to begin their patrol proper. The Discal is a massive market bazaar that surrounds the glowing white Auroral Diamond in the middle of the Citadel. Just about any and every shop one can conceive of can be found here, buying and selling goods from any number of worlds. They make their first stop at the Elemental Plate, a well known restaurant known for its creative dishes.
The restaurant is a large, airy cafeteria-styled room with tiled floors and dark long wooden tables for communal eating. The opening to the kitchen at the back is wreathed in decorative flames. A series of open waterways carry water around the dining room and a long channel runs through the center of each table. A whirlwind seems to surround the pastry case. A statue rolls a boulder at the door back and forth to admit guests. The atmosphere here is friendly and loud.
Behind the bar where the alcohol is served is a large bearfolk cleaning glasses with a white rag. A halfling works the grill in the back, and a human woman waits tables up front. There are a number of patrons here, as well, eating, drinking, talking and otherwise having a good time. The waitress sees the party enters and waves them in. "Go on and have a seat anywhere, I'll be right with you!" she calls out sweetly while carrying a tray of food to one of the tables.

After finding a seat for the group, Chispa siezes the opportunity (after missing the first one in the alley) and starts with a clumsy joke... "So, me coming 30 seconds after you guys, just was a strategy... not being late to Arayat meeting." She smiles. "We didn't introduce properly. I'm Chispa Herrería Cima de la Colina. You can call my Chasy or Chase or Chispa if you like. Chispa means spark and I like it, but Chasy and Chase is as good. I know your names from Arayat, but it will be nice to put faces to them, and I didn't want to delay you farther in the alley. I also didn't get what exactly did you see there, mrs...." and she looks at Ha Yun expectantly, and embraces herself to the row of introductions that should follow.

Zencho, the retund tiefling chuckled a bit, when Chispa has joined the group. To Ha-Yun he say with his "wise" tone. "It will come around. Eventually."
Zencho look at the bazar with curiosity. Trying to take it all in.
When they get to the resturant and take a seat, and wave to the waitress. He listen to Chispa introducing herself. "Nice to meet you. I go by Zencho. Or Zenny if you preffer. And she is Ha-Yun. So.. yeah."

"Ryu Ha-Yun," she says. "I told everyone they could call me Ha-Yun. I'm not going to hold everyone to the formality of my home world," she explains. "And as for what I saw, it was a figure in black that looked like an old friend of mine," she explains.
"And, again, I am sorry for running off like that," she adds to everyone else. She knew better, but she acted before thinking this time around because if who she thought she saw.

To Ha-Yun - "All's well that ends well, or at least not badly since I guess you didn't find your friend." -Turning to Chispa- "I'm Vulpi." -To waiter- "Can I get some cinnamon fried honey ants please?" -turning back to the table "or should we get a large for the table to share? Does everyone want some?"

The waitress makes her way over to their table and with a little pad and pencil, jots down the order. "Anyone else want anything? Are ya'll ordering separate or together?" she asks.
