And A Bottle of Rum [Open| Social]

It had indeed been some time since the male spent some time roaming about in the streets of his home country. The warm sun just began to rise against the horizon as it touched across his face. He could feel the air beginning to stir around as men and women alike began to wake up; beginning their morning routines before having to turn away to work. While he had spent most of his time inside of his winery signing away orders and trades to keep things afloat, he figured that he would have to take some time away for himself.

Standing at the edge of the building, Umbra took a deep breath before taking a step forward. He felt the sudden rush of the wind around him; the sensation of plumetting caused his skin to cover with goosebumps. Suddenly, he shot his eyes open and grabbed onto the window pane. Jumping from the window pane onto a brick that stuck from the side of the building across from him, he dropped down another floor and carefully slid down the wall. A small grunt escaped his lips as he landed on his feet and in the middle of a road. Turning his head to ensure no one saw him, Umbra pulled the cloak from the top of his head and walked through the streets. He passed soft smiles and gentle waves to passerbys who recognised him before finally settling around a marketplace. The streets weren't overly crowded, but he could tell from the new merchandise it would indeed get hectic soon. He folded one hand over his chest and placed the other under his chin as he looked around, examining anything that could possibly catch his eye.

Umbra stared over the different items that the merchant had on display. Most of the items were similar to what he already had at home, but he never mind having a bit extra to give away. Perhaps he would even give it to that boy from the orphanage that he had made a small connection with some time ago. He glanced away at another stand for a moment before the merchant cleared his throat to grab at his attention.
"Excuse me sir, but I see you here often,"The merchant spoke through barely a whisper,"You are always watching but never buying. Why is that?"

Umbra turned back to the merchant and gave him a small chuckle before shrugging at his shoulders.
He responded,"Well my friend, I always enjoy being in the markets. Watching how everyone tries to make a trade is most certainly different every day and it leads to a different experience,"Umbra turned his body to give the man his full attention,"As you see, I am not as experienced as others in such a thing. I simply sign papers to give my wine away but haven't been out much to actually sell it. I'm hoping that by being here throughout the day and afternoon I can learn a bit." The merchant gave Umbra a big smile and nodded his head excitedly.
"Well I do indeed understand that sir,"He added with the nods of his head,"I hope you do learn plenty while you are here with us today." Umbra nodded and offered his hand to the male.
"The same as well,"He smiled.

As he shook hands with the merchant, he heard the voice of someone calling out to him. Turning attention, he glanced upward towards the man who appeared to had been watching him for some time. Recalling that the man asked him if he was alright, he nodded his head as he released the other one's grip.
"I'm quite alright sir,"He smiled towards the taller male,"Why do you ask?"

Merrze was out on the town buying some food for dinner but so far nothing had caught her eye; She liked the bustling of the people and had friendly conversation with the merchants that she knew quite well. She liked coming to the markets because she had many friends who sold stuff here and she had met most of them by buying something from them. They were all good people and most of the people there knew Merrze on way or another which always made shopping fn since she came here everyday, sometimes for herself or she would give food to pass out to the orphans or to people that looked they were in need of food.

While walking around the fanalis heard two people discuss something, one of the men was Bahir a man she had fought with before, and the other was someone that she had never met before but she was interested in what sort of conversation they where going to have, maybe she would hop in and make a new friend. It might seem odd since she had nothing to contribute at this moment so the warrior would keep her eyes open to see what was going to happen to next, maybe something shady was going on and she just didn't notice it.

((OOC: Sorry its such a crappy post. It'll get better as we go along, I promise.))

[It's all fine Bahir. I'm sorry for taking my time with responding because of school and the like!]

Umbra glanced down towards the taller gentleman's arm and returned it with his own; shaking the man's had with a sure enough grip to show off his friendship. His eyes shined off an air of easiness to go along with his handshake as he looked over the man's overall appearance. He didn't seem to be the kind that would want something from him.

Clearing himself away of his initial thoughts, Umbra placed a smile on his face.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Bahir,"He started,"My name is Umbra; Umbra Walker. I do apologise if I seemed a bit out of place or troubled." He released his hand and then extended his arms outward to the different stands that circled around in the marketplace.
Umbra continued,"I am here to be with my fellow patrons. You see, I run a winery in another part of the country and I figured that I should come in and learn the trade at hand. I do know some small things but I don't know enough to try and sell wine out in the streets. So, often times I will come down and try to learn what I can; bargaining; trading and the like."

Merrze heard him talking about how he came here to trade and stuff so she thought she would go over there and give some friendly advice to the man. The young lady didn't have much experience with trading and things along those lines but she did know the people that worked here and she knew most of them were friendly. He could probably get some advice from some of the traders and merchants that Merrze knew. She walked over to them and hoped that she would be able to hope even though she personally wouldn't be doing much besides using connections.

"Sorry I couldn't but help over hear you talking and I thought I should tell you most of the merchants here are pretty nice and might help you a little on how to get started. I myself don't trade but I know a lot of the merchants who work here pretty well so if you tell them that Merrze sent you there way they might be a little more helpful. Sorry if it isn't my place, I just wanted to be helpful because everyone has to make a living and all."

Ku was walking in town. My friends i usually played with outside had to go home they said. Ku was left alone but i do not really mind. The weather was good and that is why i decided to buy a ice cream. I didnt have much to spare . I bought a small one. It was pink. Ku licked on it. It tasted like strawberries. Ku liked the strawberry ice cream. She walks further with a big smile on her face.

I remember mommy Merrze was in town too. There was a chance of meeting up with her. It still is not easy because the city is huge. This did seem lie a little challange for her. I get excited and start to look around for her. Ku runs through th streets and on her way she greets and talks a little with the merchants. Ku did know them a little bit. I did go here often with Merrze ad because of my little adventurres people started to know me. The merchant who sells fruit and vegatables was someien i can get along with really well. After our short conversation he gave me a apple. I took my money out of my pocket but he siad it was free. His reasonw as tha ti had to grow andbecome a big strong girl like my mother. That is why i had to eat well and for how i helped the city. I took the apple and contineausd my search for Merrze.

The i fianlly see her. Ku runs to Merre and hugs her from behind. Heey mommy . How are you ? I am glad i found you . I really missed you. Ku looks up and smiles happy at Merrze. Then i take a bite in my apple andlook at the two orther man close to Merre. I do not know them and stay behind Merrze because i feel a little shy.
