The Meeting~, Reserved for Saku and Baze... woot...

Curious brown eyes followed the small trinket as it rolled back and forth on the shelf of the small store, an interested expression on the woman's face. Astra loved this worlds simplicity, how everyone seemed accepting when a traveler entered a village. Or how caring people were of each other. This world was beautiful, so was her home land Ailyx, but something here was different. People weren't in a hurry all the time, weren't driven to succeed by their guardians and kept in line by electronics. Electricity here was wild and free, controlled only by the people who chose to try and tame it. It wasn't a power given to them at birth like in Ailyx.

Astra moved onto a different counter to see an array of weapons, or ARM as people here called them. She had seen people control many different types of elements, had been wondering if she could as well. Earth was a boring element, sure you could create rock walls, or a shelter in the blink of an eye, but that could be blown over by air, eroded by water. If she could control all, Kikoto would never stand a chance. Kikoto... Astra's fave became curious as she thought of that woman. She knew she would be put to death of Kikoto caught her, took her back home. Astra turned and walked out onto the street, a smirk on her face. She just wouldn't let that woman capture her. If it so happened that they met, well it just wouldn't be pretty for her. She outsmarted me once and I barely escaped, but she can't do it twice. I won't let her. The woman stopped, blinking as a small dog ran up to her, barking. She grinned and crouched, petting it. "Hi there little guy, wheres your owner?"

A little girl in a ruined dress came running after the dog. "No don't go running off again. We just got you back." She shouted as she ran over to it. "Sorry about him, I need to buy him a leesh. He runs off too much." Saku was strolling along making sure he kept an eye on the girl so that she wouldn't wander off. He then saw her encounter someone else, a girl. Saku all of a sudden had this feeling not to incounter her, but he put that aside and continued up to the 2 girls and dog. "Hey there." Saku said to Astra. "How's it?" He'd asked, keeping it simple.

Astra blinked, looking at the other for a moment before smiling. "Great, she your little sister?" Astra looked down at the girl and the dog with a slight smile before back to Saku.

"Ah, no." Saku said, scratching the back of his head. "Actually, I'm a traveler, and I found her lost out in the middle of the forest just north of here. I'm actually just dropping her off here since this is her homeland." He said, as he watched the kid walking off again.
"Come on." She said. "It's just up here." Saku sighed at the girls energy and eagerness to get home. "Hold on." He said, as his attention went back to the girl.
"Oh, I'm Saku by the way, that is if you want to know. I didn't get your name." He said to her.

Astra grinned. "Astra." She said, outstretching her hand in greeting. "Nice to meet you." She said casually.

((Sorry for the lame posts, haven't had time lately to post durring the day and I'm tired because the past two times I've been posting at like 1 AM XD))

"Hey, do you know this town very well? I'm kinda new here and I was wondering if there was anywhere to eat nearby." Saku said, about ready to get going.

(don't worry, I don't mind. And I get the 1 am thing. I can't stay up that long unless something is entertaining me.)

Astra smiled slightly. "Sorry, I'm just a traveler myself." She shrugged before a question popped into her head. "Hey... I noticed you came from the North, you didn't happen to meet up with a person thats a little insane, did you?" She asked, glancing to the Northern entrance of the small town.

Saku looked at her for a second. 'How did she know that they had met someone up in the north. Was the person she be talking about was Kikoto?' Saku snapped his fingure to snap him out of his trance. "Sorry, I don't think I have." He said, then looked at the child, wanting to go home. "She really wants to go home, I guess I got to get her there. Well, see yah." Saku said, not wanting to waste anymore of her time. He walked away, waving back at Astra and went to bring the kid back home.

(Ok, set the setting of where Astra is in the next post, Saku will then see her again. I want to get rid of the kid.)

((kk))

Astra shrugged. "If you say so..." She said before turning and glaring at the entrance again, knowing Kikoto wouldn't be far behind her. The woman shrugged and continued on to another shop, amusing herself with the odd trinkets and ARM she found there.

Saku, after dropping off the kid, decided to back track to where he was suppose to meet kikoto. On his way, he saw the same girl that he met before eying some decently priced arm's. Saku decided to head over their. "Hey again." He greeted the girl from before. "You don't move around quickly." He said, noticing that this was around the same place where he saw her before.

Astra grinned. "Thats because I was still looking at these." She smiled. "I think I might buy one."

"Oh, ok." Saku said, as he too examined the A'rm in the shops. "You know, I really don't understand how to tell the difference between A'rm." Saku said. "I only understand what they are when I put the accesory on or flow magic through it. It's kind of weird, but I think I get a feel of what an A'rm can do instead of knowing it by what it looks like."
