Carving out a new Future (Open)

While she was unclothed he had done all he could to look away the face hidden was a deep crimson. Once she had adorned herself with an article of clothing he felt he could look at her. His red eyes turned to her, a slight white in them showing his content behind the red raging within his iris. Calmly speaking in a regular tone.

"I, am Banir Ironwood." He paused for a while attempting to remember his manners as he spoke once more. With a bit more of a warble in his gruff voice.

"It, is a pleasure to meet you, uhh Aiza." He had attempted to sound polite and kind. His voice did little to help this or the fact he was large and brutish. Worry crept into his mind wondering if she would be scared of his voice and the mannerisms of rage he had portrayed before. Though a second look at her dismissed this as she seemed more curious and kind than most others he had met.

Aiza was off thinking about her mother. Her face, her form. Everything, side glancing at Banir she realized he was talking finally. Blinking for a moment she could hear the roughness in his voice. He seemed burly and tough on the outside, but it felt like he was different on the inside. He seemed to force his kind words.

Aiza sat silent for a moment, thinking. "Why do you hide?" She blurted out. Again, the lack of tact caused her to just speak without thought. To others, she seemed a lot like a child, in human standards. Her mother was wise, a little more than the regular kelvic, but this did not pass on to her daughter, no matter how much she taught her. It ether went over her head, or she would forget what she was told.

The kelvic stood up and offered her hand out to the man. "You should get out of the snow. If it would make you feel better we could go somewhere else, get a bite to eat... All that shifting has made me really hungry..."

He looked up at her utterly confused, he then decided to ignore her question of hiding. Reaching out with a large gloved palm he grabbed hold of her hand and pulled himself up. He also had not had a meal in quite sometime and felt the need to replenish his energy. Doupt of this young woman still knawed at his mind though he decided to ignore it. She was kind, had offered a helping hand, even a meal. Finding no further reason not to trust her he would just have to keep his guard up and be wary. Its how he had survived so far and will continue to survive.

Walking with her stride for stride as they marched off to their destination. Stomachs beckoning for food, their minds off on their own thoughts.

Aiza lead him to the Commons, it was the popular place to eat in Avanthal. She lead him in and looked around. "Okay, get anything you want... I'll get a steak... and some mashed potatoes, and a salad... OH COOKIES!" Her attention was brought to a plate of cookies left out for the customers to take as they please, she took a good number, almost purring as she did.

"I'll find us a seat!" She said with a full mouth, turning towards the tables. "Just get what you want!"

Awkward and unsure Banir looked about. Testing some foods then taking them with him as he collected more foods he enjoyed. Uncomfortable in the large crowd he shied away from most, though to all others he would look rude and unmannerly. Eventually finding Aiza he sat down across from her head hung low, he ate quietly his scarf removed from his mouth. Eating quietly hoping not to draw attention to himself he hoped people would just see an outsider eating a meal with someone he might possibly know.

Now that Banir had a moment to think he barely knew anything about Aiza, he had a few questions but would perhaps ask them later in a much less public place. He wouldn't enjoy someone eaves dropping into their conversation. Or far worse, joining it.

Aiza smiled at ate her food happily. She paused for a moment and looked at Banir. "[b]So what do you do around here? I saw that carving, it was really good. If you are loking for a job, they have a place for you.{/b]"

Aiza spoke cheerfully, blissfully, an unaware that Banir had any fear or anger built up in side of him. Maybe she hoped her cheerfulness would rub off on the poor man and make him a happier person.

He ate the food head down to prevent his face from being seen while he ate. At the mention of a job Banir became curious, his hobby of carving had really just been something he did on the off chance he felt the need to. He had never really thought about using it as a way to be paid.

"That, would be appreciated. I hope, to have enough money. To travel after winter has left" Banir still seemed awkward with speaking. Not quite used to it, not that he was unintelligent. His shyness prevented him from speaking often and in the company of many. Which led to a long circle of solitude, and lack of interacting with others. Though he seemed to be opening up a little more to the young Kelvic, her kindness was helping his insecurities a bit.

Aiza blinked. "You're traveling after winter? Oh wow!" She gasped, her eyes wide. "Where would you go? Is there a lot to do outside of Avanthal? I've never been away from the city, other than my parent's farm of course." she grined, in love with the idea of leaving this horrible place.

"I heard there are places where it never snows..." She said next in a whisper, as if the topic was taboo. Of course, it wasn't, but she just didn't want the rest of Avanthal to know she HATED winter, and snow, and the cold, and well Avanthal. Well, she didn't hate Avanthal, just wanted to be somewhere else. It will always be home, but she didn't feel like she belonged there.

Taken aback by the sudden bombardment of questions it took him a while to piece together answers. Or if she even asked one he should answer. Attempting to speak but only managing a few stutters he cleared his rough throat and tried again.

"Yes, after Morwen arrives then I shall depart. As for my destination, the White Isle, and it really depends as for things to do." He felt weird answering so many questions he was hoping no one was listening in otherwise this would be a little too awkward for him. Listening to her he blinked a little bit. Sensing the idea that she was just naturally curious of the outside world he would attempt to satisfy her curiosity. If anything to prevent further, loud, and strange questions.

Aiza picked at her food with a fork, thinking about what it would be like to leave Avanthal, and go where ever she would please. "It sounds nice." She said absentmindedly poking at a piece of meat.

Sighing, she looked up. A distant bell made her eyes widen. "Oh my gosh, I'm late!" Standing up she pulled some gold out of her pocket it and laid it on the table, hopping it was enough, or not too much. Ether way she had somewhere to be. "I'm sorry, I have to go... I will see you around town for a while, won't I?" She spoke while getting up, her plate half finished.
