(I don't mind, also I've added a map to the OOC's "The World of Tailea" section) Asterin was sitting at the table, listening casually to the chatter around her, her Elkrittian ears sharply picking up any conversation she focused on. She rested her elbows on the table and leaned forward, propping her head up with her fist against her jaw. Her free hand, hanging off the table, toyed with her belt and parallel acorn. Asterin's ears twitched around like antennae as she listened. To other's she would have looked rather angry when in reality she was just concentrating. A waitress walked up to Rin's table and asked if she would like anything. Having been caught off guard, Asterin perked up with a startled expression, stuttering out an apology and asking for a bowl of whatever soup they had at the moment. As Asterin nodded a thank-you to the woman, she caught a glimpse of a man looking at her from the corner of her eye. Tilting her head, Asterin glanced at the stranger with a gentle smile and returned her gaze to the corner of the room where she had been staring all this time while listening in to the conversations around her. [i]'Strange'[/i] she thought, but payed little mind. [i]'Well I suppose I would see more well dressed people in a royal city.'[/i] Rin rationalized to herself. This was very true. Asterin grew up in Lupun, a simple village far from the Royal City of Eneles. There in that village where the people lived mostly off fishing and trade she'd rarely see people so well dressed; unless of course someone from the Royal City was passing through to the Royal City of Lusche and happened upon her shop as they were running out of storage space in their trunks during their long journey.
