Cinera chuckled a little, looking at the girl. Actually... she was pretty adorable. Her fox tail and ears seemed a bit strange, but something about them had almost a calming effect on her worried heart. Things were so crazy around here, and yet this girl was getting so enthusiastic about playing the game. She was a true gamer... and honestly, quite a bit like Cinera, herself. Had this not been a VR game (or a life and death situation), she would have been just as excited about it all.
"Wow... quite a haul you got there," Cinera replied, genuinely impressed. They had only been playing this game for, what, a day? Not even? She had managed to gain quite a bit of gold, in that time. Then, nervously, she glanced down at her hands. "But aren't you... concerned? I mean, it's not like we can really stay in this world forever, right? We should do something to try and get out of here..." An ache grew in her chest as she wrapped her cloak tighter around herself. Things were hopeless... she knew that. But somehow, she wanted them to tell her that there was some kind of hope. Her family had to be home waiting for her, by now. Or they would be. Hopefully. Maybe.
If she were being honest though, shopkeeping would probably what she was most suited to. During the beta test, she had trained her avatar as an animal tamer, which was not a very strong skill for fighting. It could be, but it was dangerous. Cinera had been attacked so many times trying to bend animals to her will. Plus, she had noticed that the monsters were even stronger on the way up here than they had been in the beta test... There was no way in hell that she would be able to train any of them. At least not for a very long time; she just didn't have the knack for it. Yes, the best option might just be to settle down and wait for help to shut down the game or something.
Cinera was pulled from her thoughts when Sapphira mentioned her not seeming like the type to fight. "No, I am," She corrected her, quickly. "Actually, I'm one of the best melee players in my region. But... I'm not very accustomed to virtual reality gaming." This admission made her feel a bit afraid for herself. Hopefully nobody would hear and take advantage of that. Sapphira seemed trustworthy enough, especially if she was offering to let Cine be her apprentice. "I honestly have no idea what I'm doing... It's only been a few hours since the announcement. Aren't you scared that we might never get out? Even a little?"
