Starr wandered into the cafe, carrying a handful of the local currency and looking for a good coffee. She was still easy to spot as an outsider, wearing her uniform. Her recent attempts to find a replacement set of clothing for wandering around the city had failed, but she was determined to find something that wouldn't attract as much attention as she was now.
Ordering a coffee, she turned and looked around. The Music had changed when she entered, something on the fringe of her thoughts... The normal Music was still there, it was all the same from the people of the city, but there was an additional refrain, one that was much calmer...and spiritual.
She looked around to find the source, and noticed the man sitting at the window. He stuck out a bit, not looking like the citizens...kind of like her.
It didn't take long for Braska to get the feeling that someone was watching him, and he straightened, looking around the cafe curiously. The woman in the bright, rather odd-looking outfit nearby quickly caught his attention, not only for the outfit in question, but for the fact that she seemed to be the only one looking in his direction.
Starr took her coffee from the person at the counter and gave them a smile before wandering over to the man who had asked her a question. The Music was definitely coming from him, as it got louder as she got closer to him.
"Nothing's the matter, please don't be offended, but you look different from everyone else. And that's nice to see in this city." She took a look around the cafe, looking at the citizens who were sitting there also.
"Do you mind if I sit?" She asked, pointing at the vacant chair.
"Oh, no," Braska replied quickly. "I am aware that even among those who have appeared in this city I must look a bit... odd. I have yet to come across someone with such robes. You are new to this city?" Though he could understand the want to speak with others who weren't the citizens. While they seemed like fairly nice people, they were a bit hard to talk to, to say the least.
"Oh, I don't mind at all, please. I enjoy the company," he replied with a smile and a gesture to the seat she had pointed at.
Starr sat down across from him, setting her cup of coffee down on the table between them. Taking another look around, she focused her mind on ignoring the strange Music coming from the citizens, and listening to the different tune coming from the man seated across from her.
"It's not that you look odd. I mean, I stick out like a sore thumb in comparison to the boring people here. Not very many people wear bright red pants." She laughed. "But, yeah, I showed up here a week, maybe two weeks ago?"

"Is something the matter, miss?" he asked.
