Welcome to the Gates.

[Jessica]

"It'll be covered." She said as she stepped back, snapping her fingers as all of the flowers now sunk into the ground with a soft, "pop" noise. All that was left were the wooden stands, and she didn't mind if those were stolen or not. She side stepped out of the stand, people already used to her druid like ways.

"Now, let us walk." She said as she was waiting for him next to the stall.

Kio stared in awe for a moment as she worked her magic with the flowers. It was a magnificent sight to behold. He was still in the childish stage of his life where he was amazed by even the slightest of magic. This was mainly due to his understanding of the mystical powers. He let a small, sleek smile cross his lips, as all the flowers seemed to disappear from existence. For a moment Emelia’s words rang through Kio’s head but didn’t connect with anything important and he stared at the empty stall for several more seconds before turning his head. “Hum?”

“Oh yes, of course.” He said, the thought eventually ‘clicking’ in his head. Kio gave her a happy yet slightly nervous smile. He felt a bit embarrassed that his attention to her had drifted slightly. “I’m sorry, I drift off sometimes.” He said, stepping beside her and walking at a slow pace. “What would you like to discuss?” He asked curiously, his smile losing its nervousness.

[Jessica]

Emelia smiled childishly when he seemed at awe, and didn't mind the fact that it happened. She usually had things like this happen, and it was perfectly fine. At least, fine for her anyway. She could see the nervousness, but she also saw how it dwindled. No matter, nervousness was a sign of flattery for Emelia.

She smiled, matching his pace as she looked around. " What do you think so far of this place? And I haven't seen you around here before, is it to personal to ask where you wander from?" She said lightly, looking up to him to catch in his facial features once more, almost as if she was analyzing him.

Kio casually placed his hands in the pockets of his robey cloaky garment thingy majig that covered his body and hid the brown/yellow linen shirt with the white enamel buttons and the cotton and artificial cloth pants. “Well its nice here and interesting too. Well everywhere is interesting if you look in the right places but it seems to be quite obvious here. It’s always so busy and the little pickpockets are amazing. Such nimble fingers, I would feel honoured to have my pockets emptied by one of those crafty little buggers. And there are so many people, I’m sure, that have intriguing and exciting histories and biographies. I include you in one of those that are likely to have something in your history to hold my attention for maybe only a couple minutes but will leave me pondering it for several days or weeks.” Kio opened his mouth to say something else but closed it abruptly as he realised he was rambling on a bit. Monologues did not suit him.

Kio extracted a hand and stared at it for a second, his brow furrowing and his lips moving frantically. After several seconds a little yellow sphere appeared in the palm of his hand. He cautiously moved his hand and the little ball moved around his hand. Kio suddenly turned his hand upside down and the ball clung on tightly. He smiled, obviously satisfied by his little achievement. Looking up and realising he had avoided her second question slightly; Kio consciously took in a deep breath to let it out in a loud sigh. “Unfortunately I can’t really tell you of where I come from, as much as I would like to.” Kio turned to her and smiled briefly before his face aimed downwards, his smile fading and his hand making different motions to play with the ball.

[Jessica]

She giggled at his long, drawn out explanation of things. In fact, she covered her mouth politely to stop from letting her loud and noticeable laugh escape no futher than a foot in front of her. " You're fine, you don't need to apologize." She said happily, before being in small awe of his achievement.

She watched with great interest, as if the thought of her doing that never crossed her mind. She tilted her head to the side a bit, making it even more obvious she was staring obviously, and made a soft giggle as the ball clung. When he answered her with that, she shrugged it off and noticed his frown. She frowned as well, before patting his shoulder comfortingly, " Don't worry, I understand." She then looked up ahead of her, silent now as her mood was going from bubbly, to contentment.

[kio]

Kio smiled nervously as she giggled. With no ultimate intention behind this conversation, it was quite enjoyable. His mind delved into a more analytical state has he tried to think of her ulterior motive or for his subconscious reason. He came to the conclusion that not everything can be deduced and not everyone has to have a reason behind banter with a stranger. He felt her hand against his shoulder and pulled it back slightly out of habit. He closed his hand around the ball and it disappeared rather unspectacularly.

Raising his head and emerging from his distracted state, Kio noted the people walking around them. They didn’t pay any attention to the world around them and for that they lost all the contents of their pockets, bags and sometimes they even lost their coats. He almost chuckled, almost. He was big into the thievery of this city. It was just truly amazing and each little task, from taking a purse to selling a poor unfortunate the Moon, was performed with such skill and delicacy that it was unbelievable.

“Do you have any siblings? Pets? Debts? Beliefs?”

[Jessica]

"I live alone, so no pets." She said frowned, twiddling her thumbs. "Unless you count the Venus Flytrap." She added lightly, smirking a bit. Emelia always enjoyed having a small rebellion side, not all of her was delicate and beautiful. She thought about the rest he asked, tapping the tip of her pointer finger against her chin.

"Debts? I don't believe so, I work for the King." She said adding on accident, and she stopped the reaction of acting like it was a big secret. "I'm a lot to them, because my magic ranges so far. They give me a home, I give them.. Safety and decoration." She said smiling mysteriously.

"My beliefs?" She said blinking quickly, before adding," I'm Buddhist, because I was raised with Monks." A smile played across her lips, and she let her fingers twiddle together once more. " What about you?" She looked up towards him once more, her peripheral vision kicking in as everything was more clear.
