Street Walker

[Guest]

Riffel slowly walked down the streets of Central, using his ears to navigate through the winding roads and listening for anything that might be useful. There seemed to be no one out this on this night. He felt a chill on the back of his neck, damn forgot his jacket again. Why did it always have to be freezing cold whenever he forgot that thing. He shook his head and curled his arms into his armpits hoping to warm them up a little more. "This isn't working..."

"...OUCH!" He walked into something hard and super cold. Slammed his head right into it, he felt a bruise start to form on the top of his head. "What in the world...oh pole right yeah..." Stupid blindness always getting in his way. He clicked his tongue, to find that he was a couple feet away from walking into a brick wall too. "It just isn't my day..."

Anastasiya walked in the streets of Central more carefully now, ever since the incident at Central City Hotel. Just because she had Drachman military protection, it wouldn't stop most people from asassinating her. Mostly the wives and daughters of the men she had poisoned.
She was in deep thought, she was always in deep thought, but was interrupted when she bumped into a man. Anastasiya gave a small whelp of surprise but quickly regained her posture to apologize..
"Oh my! I'm so sorry sir, are you okay..?" She asked, bowing her head in apology. Anastasiya glanced up at the man, studying him with her blood red eyes...Something about him.....No, nothing. She simply shrugged off the thought and kept her head down to show that she was sorry. She wasn't haughty enough to say "Watch it you blind buffoon"...Anastasiya had too many thoughts on her head. If only she would stop thinking about nonsense....

Riffel felt something bump into him slightly from behind. Seemed he was getting used to this sort of thing. He pretty much ran into or was run into by most people. Guess that's what happens when you're blind he thought with a slight chuckle. "Nah don't worry about it, it happens all the time. It's probably my fault anyway...I'm pretty clumsy haha," he said as he turned around to face where the voice was coming from. He smiled at her and clicked his tongue softly so that it was barely audible so that he could briefly see her outline of what she looked like. He hoped that she didn't hear most people would get annoyed by it or ask him why he was clicking his tongue since it was kind of strange. "Well, I'm sorry to have been in the way, I just have a lot on my mind at the moment." he said.

"Oh no, it's quite alright! I have alot on my mind too..." She said, keeping her smile. Anastasiya then heard him click his tounge, wondering what that was all about...He kind of reminded him of "her". The blind alchemist who died a few weeks ago of childbirth...
"Say..Are you blind? Is that why you are clicking your tounge?" Anastasiya asked, though she knew she can't just say things like that but oh well it could be the truth right? Then she felt generous, so Anastasiya wrapped her arm about his, feeling his warmth against the cold weather..
"If that is the case, why don't I help you out? After all, you don't want to bump into anyone or anything else right?" With that, she said with a smile, Anastasiya started to walk in a slow pace...Why is she doing this, Anastasiya has no idea. Recently she felt she lost her sense of purpose...Maybe helping this man would fill the void?

Ah...looks like she noticed then huh? Damn he really needed a different way to find out his surroundings without making noises. He really should have asked Ilona how in the world she managed to see while being blind before....well before...no use thinking about that now. "Yeah...I am blind. It's a bit of a pain really. Probably explains why I was walking into that wall," he said with a bit of a chuckle. "But whenever I click my tongue, I can see the outlines of objects and things so I don't run into them. It's just a bit harder when I have a bunch of things on my mind. Plus I usually know these roads by the back of my hand and can just feel my way around without having to use my tongue too much. It gets pretty annoying..." Riffel felt the warmth as a hand then arm slipped between his as a gust of wind tickled his neck. He shuddered at the sudden change in temperature but relaxed as he felt the warmth in his arm. "Yeah that sounds good to me, plus it's bitter cold outside. Thank you," he said with a warm smile. "Oh! I guess I never introduced myself, name's Riffel, yours?"

(Ah! sorry for such a late post I'm usually pretty busy during the week cept Sunday >.< )

"Anastasiya Ilona Romanov. Please to meet you."She said in a cheerful voice. Though she did not know where to go, Anastasiya started walking, away from the wall, and walked ahead.
"So, mind telling me where you are going? I have no idea you know, I'm just guiding."Anastasiya said in a cutesy voice, constantly smiling. Yet inside, she felt useless. What use is guiding a blind man around when she was supposed to be serving her country? But then, when did she felt obliged to do so? She always thought of hersef as a free agent.
She sighed softly, feeling te need for a nice bottle of vodka...Wouldnt that be nice hm?

(Thats okay, I was busy myself^^)
