Foraging for Food and a... Charoda?

[Souris Blanche]

She sat in the corner, curled up in her own little ball next to the glass doors-- er, tall windows-- she didn't know what they were and it was difficult to tell from her particularly... short, point of view. Her whiskers twitched, as did her nose, and she felt like her senses were going to drive her crazy. Realizing what she scented was... dropped fruit, it was all she could do not to squeak from happiness. As she scurried, she prided herself with the knowledge that mice had more of an exact sense of smell than canines. Then she twitched a bit in a frustrated way that they got all the nose credit.

She found the small little fruit-- a tomato. Immediately, Souris dug into it. She sat upon her haunches, nibbling, squeaking with delight, then nibbling some more. Just a moment later she heard footsteps approaching. She fled, not ready to be seen, picked up by her tail, and flung out. She resorted back to the hiding place in the corner. So far, she had not been seen here and she was quite relieved she'd had such luck today. A few small tomatoes, some small little balls of meat.. she was so full she was almost convinced she'd have to save this tomato for later. Then she chuckled, a light squeak. She'd eat it then and there, no use in letting it grow old.

At that moment, she looked up to see who it was that would be dining in the Almond Blossom. Instead of seeing what she expected-- an Akalak-- she saw a creature she'd never seen before. The creature was fishy, smelled of it, too. Smelled of water. Even looked like a water dweller. What was it doing out of water? Much less, what was it doing surviving out of water? The whole concept of the organism seemed to blow Souris' mind, and thus she knew she'd have to get acquainted. She scurried over to the...feet, of the organism, and once it had sat down, she crawled upward. The skin was rubbery, it felt different than actual skin. Once on its thigh, Souris squeaked. She hoped the waitress hadn't heard her. Much more, she hoped the fishy thing did.

[Madalena]

Madalena was being delivered to the dinning room table. She was hungry, Hopefully they have satisfying food here. It was all she could thing about besides how beautiful the inside was. Madalena feet a small object touching her rubbery green skin. It began to crawl up her, from her sit she leaned foward and looked down to see a small, white fluffy, object which seemed to be a mouse... Well at lest thats what she thought.

What is this think?? She took her webbed hand and picked up the small mouse gentilly making sure not to harm it. "Hi there little guy.." Her common was a little rough, but it wouldn't matter to a little tiny mouse, at lest that's what she thought.

[Souris Blanche]

She felt the rubbery, webbed hands picking her up. She immediately curled up into a ball. Was I wrong to come here? she thinks, almost in a scared way, that she'll get harmed. And then a thought comes to her, that maybe she'll get thrown out.

She looked up at the fishy woman and then tries not to look too alarmed, though her stance may have given that away. She looks at the table, hoping not to get sat down. That would make her visible to the waitress, and she knew then bad things would happen.

Then Souris was called a "guy". She looked up, squeaking in the most definite way: "I am not a guy! Not a guy!"

Immediately Souris had the urge to turn human. She scaled down the rubbery arm, bodice, and legs to the ground. She trotted off a ways to have space, and when she did, she flashed into her human form.

Of course, she was naked. And knowing that other species weren't as forward with nudity as Kelvics-- or so she overheard once when changing in another public area in RiverFall-- she quickly went out back behind the Almond Blossom and put on her clothes, which she had left unattended to forage and every few minutes would go back and check on.

After changing back and reappearing to the fish woman, she smiled. "See? Not a guy." then she paused, wondering if what she had done was a little too... she couldn't place the word. Fast paced? She shrugged. Sometimes it took people a minute to realize that the girl standing in front of them had been crawling up their legs, in their hands, or nibbling on a small bit of food right in front of them while they watched casually, assuming her to be a normal mouse.

Her arms crossed in front of her and she kept her smile plastered on her face. "I'm Souris, and I was wondering if you could tell me what race you are." again, she wondered if she was too straightforward. "I've never seen such a unique being before."

[Madalena]

The mouse squeaked at her then crawled away, but the mouse didn't leave her vision she saw the transfermation from mouse to human. Oh my! It's a kelvic. Madalena was in shock then turned her head she wasn't use to seeing nude people... like at all. The Kelvic dissappeared, She gulp down a glass of water. about an hour later the same girl came back "See? not a guy." Madalena laughed.

"I'm Souris, and I was wondering if you could tell me what race you are." Madalena smiled back at the Kelvic. "I've never seen such a unique being before." Madalena heard of Kelvic but never seen on before, she was thrilled to see one to. "My name is Madalena, and I'm a Charoda. I'd take it my kind isn't popular around here." She was still smiling, "You can sit next to me if you with."

[Souris Blanche]

Souris grinned, having got to watch her have to look away in some sort of embarrassment. She watched the recognition in her eyes, that Souris was a Kelvic.

Somehow, the other being looked thrilled too. Madalena-- the voice felt nice in her mind, she wondered how fluent it would feel on her tongue-- had eyes that seemed more expressive than her mouth. She felt that this might because Common was obvious broken, to her.

Souris shook her head. "Nah, not too common, actually. Charoda?" she paused. "That's different." Obviously, Souris seemed to sass herself in her head. Could you I said anything less idiotic?

She shook her head again. "I just had a few tomatoes. Small ones, but they amounted to a large one, and I'm not too hungry anymore." she shrugged. "Just wanted a snack. But I'll wait for you outside," her voice grew to a whisper. She didn't want the waitress or anyone else knowing that she had just scavenged on their floors, even though she was the most clean mouse she could think of.

"Since you just agreed to be a part of my company, I expect you out front as soon as you're done." Souris winked, and then left out the front to wait.

[Madalena]

Madalena was happy to meet someone, once she was done eatting a nice salad that she had, she walked outside to meet Souris. She brushed the remaining crums off her face, The sun shined on her it felt good but she knew she wanted to go back into the water just to relax, but she also wanted to explore the city a little more.

She looked around out side to see if the Kelvic was any where, If the girl never heard of my race then should I expect someone else to know? The question made her puzzled, but she was happy and delighted to know someone that it didn't bother her.

[Souris Blanche]

Once Souris saw the charoda exit the Almond Blossom, she stood up from her crouch to greet her. "Where do you want to go?" she made a wide gesture to the street, which stretched both left and right.

"I personally think that there's more to see if we walk right, and less to the left." she was of course assuming that the female hadn't been in RiverFall very long, and so trying to explain the ways of the city.

"I'm staying at Atris' Place," she told Madalena. "If you turn right at this corner," she pointed to the right, "then turn left at the nearest street, right past Blue Bull is where that is." she explained. "Where are you staying?" she had the hope that Madalena didn't already know all of this, and that Souris wasn't making a fool of herself.

"Just behind us is the Knirin Gardens," she spoke giddily. "It's very pretty there."

"Behind Atri's Place and Blue Bull, is the Lapis Park. To the right there's also the Stables and Bluevein Winery." Souris thought about how "blue" was in already two of the names she'd listed, and that she was rambling on. She flushed.

"Sorry, er," she scratched her head a little, as if out of nervous habit, and her right leg kicked lightly forward as if kicking a pebble of some sort. Another nervous habit that made her look, all in all, even more innocent and younger. "We can go anywhere you want."

[Madalena]

Madalena smiled, she was happy to see Souris. There were so many different area's she sujested it made her head spin. "The gardens sound nice and so does the park." Madalena loved the out doors so much that she didn't really like wasting away indoors. "How about we go to the park if it's alright with you? And has of right now I don't have a place to myself yet," Madalena didn't know if it would be safe for her to be in a house that's not under water, but crazy things happen everyday..

[Souris Blanche]

Souris shrugged, understanding how someone would want to go to the park rather than the gardens. She begun to try and think from the perspective of someone who didn't know hardly anything about RiverFall, and found it to be quite hard.

Her whole life(which wasn't long to majority of people) she had been in RiverFall. Never at any point did she question her surroundings as they always just felt to be, there.

She picked up the pace towards the sculpture park, skipping majority of the way. It was only when nearby did she stop to walk, and look back at Madalena. She pointed ahead. "Can you see them?" she called, referring to the gems.
