She wasn't completely out of her comfort zone yet though, the people of Spira weren't all that advanced, and for good reason she had heard, so there was nothing really to worry too much about. The cleyran could simply enjoy her time without having to worry about getting too used to the advanced technology of places like Midgar or Galbadia. She was looking forward to exploring both places, but she wasn't quite ready yet. Just leaving the Mist continent had been a huge step forward in itself, and one she was rather proud of.
Stopping at an inn, Adelina caught sight of the notice board that seemed to be advertising work, as well as future events. She tilted her head at one in particular. Catching butterflies huh? That sounded like so much fun, she though excitedly as she made her way to the listed address. She would first need to talk to a Mr. Rooples to see if the job was still available. [/style]
As you were looking at the notice board, you could almost feel people looking at the back of your head. If you listened closely enough you could heard the odd murmur about people discussing if you were an fiend. The people of Kilika had not much contact with the world outside Spira, and only the most travelled of them might have seen someone from your neck of the woods.
Suddenly you heard footsteps coming closer and closer. It was clear that they were coming towards you, but what for. They were quite hard footsteps either from someone who was walking hard or from a heavy set man, or woman. The next thing you knew there was a tap on your shoulder, the fingers feeling quite strong from the tap.
“May I help you miss?”
If you turned around you saw a large man, not in height, maybe just above average in that department, but he was big in build, not exactly fat, but not overly muscular, his chest and arms, as well as his legs were muscular, but he had a bit of a gut on him. The expression on his face was pleasant enough, but, there were wary undertones to it.

Growing up in a place surrounded by a perpetual sandstorm had granted her excellent hearing and her ears twitched as she honed in. A fiend, she thought with a slight giggle before realising the potential seriousness of the situation. Were they going to attack her? That would be unfortunate, but then she supposed she should have thought of that before venturing beyond her home continent. Exactly how many burmecians, never mind cleyans left their homes to travel to somewhere like this anyway?
Lost in her own thoughts, a tap on her shoulder made her yelp in surprise as she whirled round. Was someone finally going to check that she was no threat instead of talking about the possibility behind her back? Or were they going to attack her? But then, how many people would politely tap her on the shoulder before attempting to send her to oblivion?
Taking in the appearance of the man who had approached her, Adelina tried not to gulp. The man was huge, but he didn't seem unfriendly. In fact he was probably more weary of her than she was of him right now!
Placing her arms behind her back and smiling sweetly, the cleyran hoped for the best as she answered his query.
"Oh, you startled me", she confessed before continuing. "Actually, I was about to look for a Mr Rooples, do you know happen to know where he lives?" [/style]
The large man looked at you with a wary eye as you said he had startled you. He was not just wary but a little surprise by this fact. The man thought on the subject for a moment or two before you asked where Mr. Rooples lived.
At first he was unsure why you wanted to know and the uncertainty was on his face. However, when he saw the notice board behind you and realised that you must have been wanting to find out about the job he smiled brightly before he nodded,
“Ah Yes, Mr. Rooples, being the lover of butterflies as he is, live on the edge of town, near the forest. If you follow the walkway on the left hand side you will not miss it. It has a massive carving of a butterfly outside of his house.”

Had she confused him? The question had been simple enough so why...oh wait, they thought she was a fiend right? That was quite and alarming thought, as it probably meant that at any moment someone could try and attack her. She wasn't as frail as she looked, but she was certainly no fighter either. What would she do?
Glancing around as she awaited the mans reply, Adelina began to plan her escape route. She really should have thought of this before leaving the Mist Continent, but she was far too naive to take such things into count. What had brought her to Spira? Who knows, but hopefully they she wouldn't be needing her escape routes.
Finally giving her the response she had asked for, Adelina bowed gratefully and thanked him before quickly leaving. Breathing a sigh of relief as she suddenly felt much safer in the open, the cleyran began to follow the directions she had been given. A massive carving of a butterfly hmm? Well, it couldn't be that hard to miss, she supposed, as she made her way across the wooden walkways. She wondered why humans would build a town like this on top of what was essentially open water, rather than the safer dry land. She would probably never understand humans, but this was the least of her concerns as she finally located the home in question. Skipping up to the front door, she hesitated briefly, before giving it a knock. [/style]
A voice came abruptly from inside the house. There was silence for a little while, except for the slight clunking of some hard material on wood. The sound, if listened to close enough, sounded like a footstep. It was, gradually, getting louder and louder until.
“May I help you?”
A man, in his later forties, early fifties, who had just opened the door, said. He looked at you with the same sort of mild concern that the rest of the villagers had given you. However, there was, if read closely enough, a curious undertone to his expression, like, he was more interested in what you wanted than what you were.
“If you’re here to look at my collection, I’m in no mood, could you come back another day?”

She was greeted with the same odd look that the other villagers had treated her with, but by now she had learned to let it go over her head. Then again, that was pretty much how she did things anyway, whether she meant to or not! At least there was something about the mans gaze which made her wonder if perhaps his interest was geared more toward what she actually wanted than what she was.
Smiling at the man, it was obvious why he had taken so long for him to answer her. This must be her client with the broken leg, but then that hardly took a genius to work out! Either way, he didn't seem all that welcoming, but that would hopefully change with her next sentence.
"Hi, I'm actually here about the job you posted at the inn?" [/style]
