it wasn't alya's first trip to shara. hopefully, it won't be her last. for all the pomp that the capital likes to put up, it's got its urban decay, desolate poor, and restless discontents just like everywhere else. that actually puts the woman a little more at ease when she passed the lower town. it makes shara a real city instead of one of those airy legends that it likes to weave around itself. a real city that has to draw breath instead of choking on its own stories. the far off towers mark her general destination. hopefully, she wouldn't have to ask a guard for directions. alya's natural impatience and mouthiness seemed to get her into trouble with authority figures more often than not. her deft fingers slightly tighten the straps on her leather bag. alya's trusting personality had been tempered by a few cases of losing important documents to thieves. she's on her own this time. her boss won't be the one to bail her out if she fails.

"You can pay for it next time," the vendor winks at her and all she can muster is a nod in astonishment as the lady hands her more fruit (it's oranges) to put in her makeshift rucksack with the one she'd taken earlier (for a snack she's not too eager to have at this point). She's always been terrible with distinguishing malicious intent from genuine altruism, but she thanks the lady- doesn't apologize, just makes for the busy street without looking back, more than a little rattled by the exchange.
She checks the bag once, and then closes it right after- because that's that. She'll pay for it later if she can grow the backbone she needs so she can look the stall vendor in the eye without shame.
There are more "errands" to check off her list and she needs to be out of lower town sooner rather than later if she wants to get home before dark. The crowd isn't sparse, but the streets are manageable. Her mind wanders to work, then the fruit, and between all that she misses the sight of a person in front of her. Her grip around the scarf-turned-bag loosens and its contents tumble out onto the ground as she mutters a quick, "oh, I'm sorry," to the person she ran into.

she wasn't quite expecting someone to surprise her from the front. even so, alya manages to shift the weight on the lower half of her body in time to keep on her feet. surprises are par the course for the sort of work that she's up to. "oh my god, are you okay?" despite being the one who was nearly knocked aside, she attempts to catch the girl before she loses balance as well. the bright oranges against the drab colored streets catch her eye and alya decides that they are a public hazard for people to trip on. she looks down at the girl in front of her and -- "desta? oh my goddess, is it you?" somewhere in the background, someone does trip on an orange, cursing angrily.
