There was an easy distinction between Old Town and Lower Town, and after passing over it multiple times, Erik had learned that he'd all but memorized where it was. It was as if there were an invisible fence separating the two districts, a piece of string being wrapped around each district that dictated which side people were on and what they were to do on these sides. While there were some signs of wear in the buildings, and he could only imagines the amounts of crime that went about on the streets, it wasn't nearly as common in comparison to Old Town. He'd seen people do bad things (more times than what he wanted, to be honest), he'd seen the types of places that people lived in. These people didn't have it much better. The shop he was to stop at was in Lower Town, at the outskirts, but Erik didn't think that he was going to be able to find it on his own. In truth, he didn't think he was going to be able to find his way back home without help, but exploring around was always fun. "Excuse me. Do you think you can give me directions?" Maybe the townsfolk here were easier to talk to? ELEANOR RAVENSDALE |

she did not grow up in shara. neri is her home city, always has been and always will be, with its famed sparkling canals and fountains. but the lower town is similar to where she'd grown up -- if not in atmosphere, then in its people, going about their daily lives as well as they can. even after she'd joined the imperial army, she feels a connection with those sorts of people. champions are entertained their quirks, their flights of fancy; even with the empire keeping a close eye on them, breathing down their necks, making people remember that the empire is only allowing such things because it is feeling generous. eleanor always takes advantage of that, though, and that is why she is in her black dress, out of the uniform. it lets her fit into the lower town's population better than she would have been than if she'd come down fresh from a barracks check. it is, probably, the reason that she is being asked for directions. eleanor blinks in slight confusion before turning around completely from where she'd simply been standing to the side and observing the coming and going of the crowd. "ah, sure? where do you need to go?"ERIK ALEJANDRO |

He probably looks a mess. No, scratch that, he definitely looks a mess. He's been walking aimlessly for who-knows-how-long, and he can only wonder what kind of impression he's leaving on this poor girl. He hums quietly for a moment, trying to remember what the name of the shop was, and finds that he cannot come up with an answer. "It's this... Small little herbalist place. Somewhere in this general area, I think." Because Lower Town just had to be so confusing to navigate, of course. It couldn't have been a simple trek out, trek back, and then be done. He couldn't stop the small smile from forming on his face despite his irritation, seeing as how it wasn't because of Eleanor that he couldn't direct his way out of a paper bag. "I had directions there, but I also happen to be terrible at navigating these things." Reaching into his back pocket, he unfolds a map, a small area circled in ink. "It's this place, that's kind of on the corner. Family-run, you know. Really small.""Thank you for this, by the way." Another dazzling smile, just for good measure. ELEANOR RAVENSDALE. |

lower town is a worn-down, beaten-up city, if it could be called that. it means that small, family-run shops are not an uncommon sight; certainly more common in the more polished upper town and high city, areas that she sees the inside of more than she'd like to. eleanor smiles back, shoulders loose and genuinely amused. she supposes that the stranger before her is a traveler, new to shara; and poor navigating skills only makes her grin wider. "you're quite welcome." she peers over the map in his hands, staring at the area circled in ink and comparing that to the map of the lower town in her head. "i think i know where this is," she says as she hums in thought. she'd never been to the shop herself -- if there was one thing about being in the imperial army, it was that it took care of its champions, as much of puppets as they were -- but she'd passed it often enough in her walks. "just a bit south of here, past a few winding streets. it's a bit hidden behind the crowd, if i remember right."and eleanor memorizes enough things that she knows that her directions are fairly accurate, down to the street, maybe. "would you like me to walk you there? it's not far."ERIK ALEJANDRO |

Whomever he has happened to bump into, it seems that fate does not have it out for him today. In fact, it seems to be quite the opposite, as he happily accepts the help. She's like everything he's hoped to find in humanity - at least, that's what he's figured within the mere moments of talking to her. Her heart is easy to see, at least. "I'd really appreciate it." Because Goddess knows he won't find it with another pair of directions. Goddess knows he'd end up getting lost once again, and hoping to run into another person who's equally as polite and kind as she is. "I'd probably end up getting lost again, to be honest."A small smile is given as he waits for her to start off in any direction. "Do you usually help strangers on the street?" Is she typically this nice to everyone? Erik finds that he, indeed, hopes so. ELEANOR RAVENSDALE, sorry for the long wait i've been rly busy with school |

"sometimes." it usually depends on her schedule and whether or not the monarchy will allow her that much of the leash. but when she can, she does. it's a nice way to give back, and not just one that drowns her hands in blood and calls her to heel like a trained dog. (it's something of her own.) she starts of with purpose, careful not to go too fast or somehow lose her guidee in the crowd. "i do it when i can." past the vendor with the glass baubles, turn down a street paved in cobblestone broken by the fireweeds to the right. "from one good person to another, you know?"a few more streets, and they'll be there. she walks, and looks at the white-haired man. "is this your first time in this part of the town?"ERIK ALEJANDRO that's completely fine bae <3 |
