lost [open]

Having not lived in Immortal very long yet, the brunette hadn’t quite figured her way out around the small town.  It didn’t help her case that she was much, much worse at directions then most people.   She liked to consider herself direction impaired.  She was very skilled at going down a straight path and then completely forgetting how to get back.  Her thoughts always seemed to get jumbled, and she’d start assuming she’d made turns where she hadn’t.  It went on from their and before she knew it, she always ended up lost.  Today was one of those days.  She’d been out job searching for the evening, and wound up in a part of town she wasn’t sure she’d even made it to yet.

The sky was getting darker and the air was gaining a slight chill to it as she walked along the sidewalk.  There were people, but they really didn’t give her any hints to assume they’d be friendly in any way at all.  Even if they had, she wouldn’t have been able to ask for any directional help anyways.  Kiwi let out a huge sigh as she stopped for a moment to sit herself down on a wooden bench she was wandering by.  This place gave her the chills and all she wanted to do was get home and crawl underneath her incredibly comfortable cotton comforter.  That wasn’t going to happen if she didn’t stop to think.  

Kiwi sat with a puzzled look on her face.  She tried to think back to the places she had stopped along the way, and how far she had walked after them to get to the next.  Thinking about it was proving completely useless, because she just kept drawing blanks.  It wasn’t like she was a stupid girl, it was just that she had a habit of setting her mind into panic mode whenever she happened to wonder into unfamiliar territories.  She pulled up lets onto the bench and hugged her knees against her chest.  “Think harder Kiwi…”

Having just moved to Immortal, Kirian decided that he wanted to get a feel for the town.  There wasn't all that much to it, so he believed that he could get a basic understanding of where everything was.  At least, that's what he told himself.  In reality he was just tired from the move and all the unpacking, and really didn't want to finish unpacking right then.  He found himself wandering around for several hours before he realized how dark the sky was getting.  The air was slightly chilled, but he liked the cool feeling on his skin, so he decided to walk a bit further into this part of town he was looking at that he hadn't walked through yet.

The feel of this area was a bit different than most of the other places he had been through so far.  It made him feel cautious, almost like he had to look around.  There were people, so it wasn't the feeling of being alone.  He nodded to people as he walked past, had to side step a few that didn't look up, and continued down the sidewalk for a little while.  After a few minutes, he came upon a woman sitting on a bench with her knees hugged to her chest. As he approached he did his normal head nod, and continued on, watching her out of the corner of his eye.   Though she looked very confused, he was unsure he should bother her. 

He thought to himself about how he wanted to keep a low profile.  He continued on walking for about ten feet, then stopped and stared up at the sky.  "I can't just abandon someone that may be in need." He thought to himself.  Taking a deep breath, he turned around and walked back to the bench.  He stopped a few feet away from the bench and looked around before looking back at the girl.  Taking a second deep breath he asked her in a kind voice, "May I sit down for a moment?"
