Nov 21, afternoon

[forgotmyforge]

Flame sometimes wondered if she'd ever get tired of just walking around the Sphere, studying the people and shops with the same cheerful curiosity that she faced most things these days. It had been a few months already but she still managed to find something new or interesting every time she went out.

She turned the corner and saw someone ahead of her, in the familiar clothing of a newborn, someone with long white hair who was walking fast. There had been a few people born recently, but she wasn't sure who this was - perhaps she hadn't spoken to them yet.

She broke into a small jog in an attempt to catch up to the newcomer. Journals were nice enough, but it was always better to make acquaintance in person, in her opinion.

"We'd be glad to see you," Flame answered, and she gave Rauxes some directions from where they were standing. She might not know how to get everywhere in the Sphere yet, but she could definitely find her favorite places.

"Yes... Although sometimes people can remember things about themselves, I haven't had much luck besides the smithing. I figure that it will happen eventually."

When she'd first arrived, Flame had been quite concerned about her loss of memory. The craziness of the storm, followed by the meeting of many people and other strange events, had blunted this desire a bit. She was content in the new life she was building, even if it was different than her old life had been. Memories would come in time. Until then, she would just enjoy what she had.

"Your trade skills returned to you first? That is something to look forward to." Rauxes felt a little odd spending all of her days without something to do - she'd actually been glad for her pursuers in a small way, because it gave her hope of actually tracking them down and learning something new about this place.

On instinct, Rauxes pulled out her journal to write down the directions Flame had given her. She'd just put her hand on it when she looked startled by her own action. "Oh- Oh I suppose that won't do. Not unless I want everyone else to see my notes again. I'll just try to remember your directions, Miss Flame." She smiled over at her. "I'm not sure what use I may have for weapons or armor from a Smith, but if it's you... Well at least the visit won't be wasted."

Flame nodded. "I guess I was lucky like that. Maybe if you keep trying different things, you'll figure out yours!" Endlessly optimistic, she was, except when she was annoyed.

"Feel free to come by anytime. We can talk if nothing else!" She cocked her head to one side. "I'm sorry you didn't have a good first impression here. I hope you can catch this laughing invisible person and punish him well!" She was still smiling, despite her talk of violence.

Flame's optimism and smile were contagious. "Trust me, if I catch them, I will definitely make sure they are punished."

Rauxes smiled as well and waived as she turned to leave. "I'll see you there! I hear their voices again!"

"Chase them down!" she encouraged, waving as she took her own leave. A strange meeting, perhaps, but not a bad one in the end. Flame was glad of it.
