"Let's. If we relax too much on our stride, we'll be way behind them. I've no doubt that he seriously did sprint all the way there."
'Zet was a bit on the....overly eager side possibly and adding in Vivienne didn't exactly help counteract his need to show off his speed. Even if he wasn't showing off his speed in the instance it wasn't going to stop him from doing exactly what they didn't want. At least for the bright side of the issue, Ark and herself weren't the slowest bunch. Time to get going then, not planning on sprinting the whole way there at least. How did they pull that off anyway?'

Ark merely gives nod in reply. There wasn't much to say to refute the statement after all. He couldn't help but fell a slight bit bad for Niamh; it had to be exhausting to deal with such overactive children. A small grin appeared at that thought, before the swordsman began on his rush towards the plains.

A while after they had left, a lone girl had strayed into the area. Though she moved with intent, she slowly made her way over to the shops, more particularly the smithy for the time being. Finished with that, she once again started to meander around the city, no intents in mind this time. Maybe she was just walking to walk for something to do to pass the time? Either way, she wasn't up to much really.

Another one had been in the city, though she had been there because she was taking a rest now. A restless search was a worthless search, so she was accomplishing the resting part of it now while she walked around the city. Green hair reaching down to the end of her back flowing freely with the wind as jade green eyes looked about from time to time, she stood at 5'5 in height. Pants of white with midnight blue stripes going down each side, made of a soft material with a white sash belt holding them close to her waist and also serving to hold her blade, located behind her waist. Her torso was covered in a snow white shirt that fit tightly to her body, wearing a white overcoat, reaching to her knees but open from the front. Midnight blue along the edges of her coat, including the sleeves and collar, also wearing white shoes edged in midnight blue, a few bandages wrapped around her right and left hand. Not too long after she walked for a bit, she had made it to the weaponry to go and make a few purchases herself.
Finishing her initial business in the store, she had gone back through the city and had found a spot to sit down and rest at. The plains were a nice place to stay after all, though after she had sat down for a bit, she noticed someone walking about. She seemed like she had no aim and generally nowhere to go either. If she was just lost, she could help out at least, standing up before she went over to go and check up on her, calling out as she approached.
"Excuse me? I couldn't help but notice you roaming around here. Are you lost?"

"....."
She had stopped walking upon realizing that the person being called out to was her. She had fuchsia hair and magenta eyes, her hair reaching down to the middle of her back in a ponytail thanks to a band keeping it together while the front is rather unkempt, partly in the way of her eyes. Her eyes on the other hand lacking any kind of real light in them, jaded even with a somewhat pale complexion. Wearing a brown cloak that runs down to above her ankles in length and standing at 5'6, an inch taller than the one speaking to her herself. Part of her black pants could be seen past the cloak, and the white steel over the black shoes too, but only if one paid close attention. She had been silent for a time, looking over the lady for a few moments longer.
".....I'm not lost."
That was all there was to it. She didn't say anything after that but she wasn't walking or attempting to walk off either, almost as though she was waiting for the person in front of her to speak some more. If the person didn't, then she would keep heading on her way.

Well...this was a bit of an awkward situation. Normally she would leave it at that and do her normal thing, but just looking at her eyes made her feel otherwise. Just leaving her alone wouldn't do at all. She had nice features, but it looked like she didn't know what she wanted to do. If she wasn't lost, she didn't look like it. It didn't look like she was lying though either. If she left her alone she knew that she would keep wandering and eventually would just end up somewhere. Was she looking for something? Possibly, but that could be wrong too. Either way she had stayed here instead of leaving, so she had been waiting for something anyway.
"Well if you're not lost, maybe I can help you get to where you're going? I'm Fiona, Fiona Villiers. And you?"

"...I'm Aiole."
She had waited a bit as usual before replying. Still, she started to look around after she was asked the previous question. She had only stopped because she was asked her name and Fiona had given her own. She stopped shortly after looking around long enough before looking toward the arena. It could be seen in the distance, and it more or less was the place she would be heading to at the time. She pointed toward it with her hand, revealing the black glove on it.
"The arena. I was heading there."

She had to honestly admit that those random pauses were awkward to herself, but she got past it all the same. Aiole was all she gave for a name, so she supposed that was either the name she preferred to go by or her honest to goodness name. She followed Aiole's finger, noting and seeing that it was obvious where she was headed to now. She had said it herself too, so Fiona had no problem knowing where it was. She had paid it a visit a few times too so she knew how to get there to go along with it. It wouldn't take them long at all really. She'd go with Aiole just in case, given that she didn't look like one that should be in the arena given what could happen there.
"Okay then, the arena it is. I'll take you right on over then. Follow me."
Fiona started off first, looking back once to see if Aiole was behind her or at the least moving before she kept on going on herself. Once they got to the arena, they would see how things went from there. It wasn't exactly the nicest of places actually, but it wouldn't be too bad so long as they kept their wits about them and picked their fights. Losing sometimes could mean a lot more than just some hurt pride after all there.

Aiole said nothing this time, simply standing still for a moment while watching Fiona walk off before she started to follow her. It meant she would get to where she wanted to go, so she supposed that was alright too honestly. It just meant it would be quicker than planned and wouldn't involve all of the confusion and getting lost like she normally would have. Though she didn't particularly mind those parts of it since eventually she would have to memorize the place, and it usually just gave her other things to do. She supposed that quicker was better though.

It didn't take long for the two to get to the arena. The roars as always came from the arena from the fights that came inside. It was here that the two ladies now came up to, the bald man with a scar on his head holding up the opening. There was a sign that mentioned something about a free sign up or two, so it meant that they could get a match or two free. An odd thing for the arena, but it probably meant you go no prize money for the wins either. There was also some special mentioned too, but they couldn't see that bit of it without closer inspection.

Aiole had paused of course once her eyes had laid upon the simple fact that it was free. Sure it was a way to gain cash actually that would help them proceed onward, but it also meant that she didn't need to worry about running out if she kept on backing out. Not waiting for Fiona at all, she just immediately headed into the arena. She figured that the opponent would already be set up, so it didn't matter from there. Now it just came down to passing the time, and she didn't know any better way than by passing the time by fighting someone in particular. She could have settled for Fiona honestly, but she didn't want to do that one after she had helped her out actually.

"Well this is interesting. Hey Aiole--"
Looked like they had arrived during a special time. That or something was up with the place. She would have went to read the sign to go and tell her what it said, but she noticed her cloak bearing companion had already started off for the arena. She didn't waste any time there did she? Well, she couldn't just let her run off like that and not watch the match or partake in it if this event was as it said. After all, she had come this far too.
"Hang on, I'm coming too!"
She proceeded in after her, and at this point they could only see how it would go from there. It would be nice admittedly to see if she had improved since before with her own talents to be fair however, something she had indeed been curious about.

"Welcome to the main event of the day!!"
They had arrived partly late, so they could only hear the roar of the audience and the voice of the man announcing the matches. Looked like they had arrived during the special part of the match now, being in a group of different fighters with weapons drawn. That looked like it was the chime for battle, as each let out their own form of war cry before they jumped into action. Looked like they more or less were in it to stay now.

"I'm glad we're out of that mess now!"
Fiona stretched as she walked out of the arena, glad she had received a workout like that. Sure it had been easy, but she did break a sweat in the encounter at least. And Aiole though seemed rather reluctant to listen to her too when they had arrived at that everlasting crossroads she had seen coming. Why was she so determined to simply focus on what she had in mind? Better yet, she seemed to just be doing everything without a goal in mind and just fighting to fight, killing to kill. That didn't fit well in her mind at all, one should only use their skills when forced too and shouldn't kill a lesser opponent unless they had no other option in mind. She stopped stretching, her arms falling back down to rest at her sides as she turned back to face Aiole.
"Did you get what you wanted out of all of that too?"

Aiole had stepped out all the same, not wanting to partake in the second coming of the event. It was nothing but something she had already done now, instead taking her time to eye her own blade. She had worn it down pretty badly in that fight just then thanks to her own ceaseless advances during the fight. Had she paused to pay attention, she would have noticed she only needed the dagger for such opponents. Still it was too late to reflect on her own inefficiencies, sheathing the blade before she looked toward Fiona as she addressed her. The usual pause was absent for once, as she responded pretty much right after Fiona herself had finished. Maybe she had just wanted to get the conversation over with, even going so far as to answer the probable question of 'What are you going to do next?' too.
"I got to spend some time there and fight, so I guess so. There's no further need to participate in the matches here for now, so I'll rest before moving on again."

"I'm glad you got what you wanted then. But..."
She got to spend time there and fight? So she did it mostly as a way to kill the time since she had nothing else to do? Well, there were people like that, but she had responded quicker than usual and with more efficiency, so maybe she was getting used to being poked at by her? That would be a good thing actually since it would make their conversations that much easier, but she knew full well that she couldn't just let Aiole rest and then move on to the next destination. Not with how she was anyway.
"Would you cross blades with me right quick? Just a match between us for fun. I know of a spot we can head to if you don't fancy the plains or the arena."
Fiona didn't give her time to give 'No' as an answer, moving over and taking Aiole's hand. She could feel the fabric of Aiole's glove in her hand and was pretty certain Aiole noticed the bandages on her own hands, though not as many and slightly loose now. She had turned quickly before she kept on moving with Aiole, too quickly even considering her usual pace. But she had kept going to their destination either way still.

It looked like she was trying to read her with her eyes, Fiona anyway. Aiole didn't particularly care either way honestly, so she spoke no words as she continued doing so. Fiona had trailed off near the end too, so she figured something else was coming and made no attempts at leaving just yet...until Fiona finished her words. A match between the two of them? Her eyes looked over Fiona briefly this time, and she delayed the response while she gave it actual thought and came to a decision.
"....I wou--"
Apparently she didn't have to make a decision here. Fiona had come over and taken her hand, dragging her off with her. In a normal situation she would've saw fit that the hand was not returned to the owner, but it was Fiona. She didn't mind so much in this situation. She was moving quicker than usual, as though she was rushed or hiding something in return for it. The bandages on her hand led to some implications that she ignored, eyes moving to the sword instead. She could see the sheathed weapon more clearly now that Fiona's back was to her, and once they had arrived, she decided to remain silent for a bit longer. Though she did have her blade in hand now compared to before too.
"....."

"I'm glad to see you're not entirely opposed to the idea then."
She could tell this just from having Aiole's eyes on her own back. While she wasn't exactly adamant about it where she could feel the craving for blood rolling off her skin from Aiole's own eyes, she could tell that Aiole was interested in the idea in fact. Though possibly for different reasons other than herself, which was perfectly fine to her honestly. Turning as she drew her own sword with her right hand, she took up a more defensive stance. Aiole was swifter than her, she had noticed that during their fight at the arena. Should she try to claim the first strike, it could lead to a particularly bad repercussion. Besides, it wouldn't quite be the same if she took the first strike here.
"I'm ready whenever you are, Aiole."

She was right, Aiole wasn't exactly entirely opposed to the idea. It was....interesting in a way. Well, it was time to get to it then. Turning the blade in hand in a reverse grip, she plunged in and started on the initiative. Time to get things started then.
