Oh dear, this is most inconvenient.

Such a quaint little square! Are these the Terran quarters, perhaps? They do not seem to be like anything in the Empire. How is it that I do not even remember my arrival here?

Let me see, I am sure that if I retrace my steps I will find my way home.

Terran quart-

[mercifulsun]

I've been thinking-we could request them.

[falsebutterfly]

From the City at large, do you mean? Or are you aware of someone in particular who could help?

[mercifulsun]

I don't know anyone in particular, Your Grace. I'm placing my hopes in the good will of people.

[falsebutterfly]

Perhaps more discreet enquiries at first, then? There is no need for everyone to become aware of our situation.

meaning lol stealth? >_>

[mercifulsun]

Ahh... Astaroth was beginning to ask-

idek ;~;

[falsebutterfly]

Commendable of her to take the initiative, of course. Perhaps refraining from making any sort of general announcement about it for now, though, is what I had in mind.

O-Of course, Your Grace.

[mercifulsun]

Where are you? I can escort you to our current quarters.

[falsebutterfly]

I am currently in the middle of a square, near a fountain, if you know its location.

commeng log?

[mercifulsun]

I do. On my way, Your Grace.

comment log!

[And there's what appears to be a young girl sitting by the fountain, a white cat held gently on her lap.]

[As Shahrazad arrives to the meeting place she tries to calm her nerves. Mirka Fortuna is famed to be frightening and she was... a traitor who left the Empire.

She forces a smile and bows deeply to the sight of the Duchess.]

Your Grace.

[Mirka knows quite well the situation Shahrazad was in, back in their world, but for now has decided to leave the matter to one side. The girl is hardly as experienced or dangerous as her uncle, even if she is truly a traitor, and Mirka feels sure enough of Astaroth's loyalties to be certain her own wellbeing will be safeguarded.

She smiles sweetly at the girl, gesturing to show she may rise.]

Hello, Shahrazad. You found me quickly enough.

comment log! -> where were the former Fortuna household? >>

[mercifulsun]

Our lodgings are not far from the Square. This is a landmark for many.

[She explains, a little tense, but relaxing to see the older woman was smiling as well.

She approaches and reaches out to pet the cat.]

I was about to leave for work when I caught your transmission, Your Grace.

comment log! ...I have no idea |D

[falsebutterfly]

Oh, that is good, then, to be close to the centre of things.

[She keeps on smiling as Shahrazad pets her cat, then rises to her feet to follow her back to her new home.]

You were? And what is your employment here in the City, Shahrazad?
