Polka had lost her way while walking through Somni, something that happened alot when she didn't focus on where she was going. She decided to keep following whatever path that her mind had laid out for her and enjoy the lovely night sky.
Eventually, Polka noticed a line of girls, and she got curious and began to head in their direction, until she was a woman near a strange yellow building.
She had never seen this part of Somni before, and she didn't feel easy around it. The girls around her seemed to wearing much fancier clothing than she was... were they all rich? Or did she not notice that they were from a different place than herself?
She mustered up the courage to talk to the woman by the building, to find out where she was.
"Umm, excuse me?", she began, "What is this place? I haven't seen this part of the city before."
Oh, now this almost frightened poor Paola. She could only hope that this small, mouse-like girl wasn't a customer and was simply lost in the twist and turns of Somni. No young girl like this one should be caught in the red light district, yet most were and this was unavoidable... "This building has no name yet but we are a brothel. Are you lost, bambina?" You could here the courtesans in the background, waving fans, giggling and smiling at Polka.
"Hi, cutie~." and "Is she lost? Oh, poor thing." could be heard exchanging amongst themselves.
Paola looking back at them and clapped her hands, the women vanishing inside. "Don't mind them. They're just curious." Paola's sweet and gentle smile arose when she looked down at the woman. "How can I help you?"
Paola looked over the shoulder at the women peeking out of windows and then turned back to the young girl and stepped down from her porch. "Come, I will lead you back to the first districto." And her feet took even steps, an even but fast pace. "Do you know where you are?"

"I am a bit lost, yes", she responded, looking down at her feet, "I just wandered here by mistake."
She did wonder why the woman were curious about her, but she didn't want to ask that either.
"Could you tell me how to get back to the first district, please?"
