((muahahaha! we can start now.))

Koryu looked around at the many buildings that was one of Midnight's slum areas. The bricks were decaying, partially covered in moss and other disgusting organisms, and the air was rank with old blood, alcohol, and possibly what might have been death. She sighed a bit, smiling to herself. 'Home sweet Midnight...' She thought, and then turned onto another street.

Aleria was lost in her own thoughts, in her human form, her gentle eyes cast down onto the pavement. She walked slowly down the paths, the smell of the slums not effecting her, as she was used to it by now. She was thinking how she could find her family, where they would be. She had just returned from asking an old Seeress if she could help. She only gave Aleria riddles. Always riddles, ones Aleria could not work out. She often cursed herself for her weaknesses, why couldn't she be smart and strong like her older sister? Someone elses footsteps rang out down the cold street and Aleria looked up, pulling her cloak tighter around her, seeing the figure of Koryu walking down the street

She noticed someone walking down the street, and nodded a bit. Normally, she woulnd't trifle with the people around here, but she was bored with no more missions from the council. She grinned, sensing the stranger's troubled precense, and stopped. "Hello, you look new around here. Or maybe not, you know?"

Aleria stopped, shocked that someone had spoken to her and scared of what they might do to her. She wanted to run away, but thought it best to answer Koryu's questions, incase she chased Aleria if she didnt.
"I am new, sort of. I have been here only a month. Are...are you a citizen of this place?" she smiled gently, though the fear still showed in her eyes

I LOVE YOU.

"Chill out. I'm a citizen of a lot of places, but yeah, this is my home. Born and raised. You've really got nothing to fear from me. That is, unless you p*ss me off." She walked closer, nodding and smiling. "What's your name, stranger?"

Aleria leans back slightly, her face fearful again
"Erm, I am Aleria. I dont wish to annoy you though," she bows hurriedly, "But....well, i am very confused by this place, still. The only place I know is the Inn i stay at and the old Seeress' house back down this road," she smiled weakly again, some of her fear ebbing away. She couldnt really sense to much of a threat from this person, but she was always aware.

"I'm Koryu. If you're new here, you probably haven't heard of me." She walked forward again, grabbing Aleria's hand. "Its nice to meet you, either way. Here, I'll take you to my apartment and you can tell me what your problems are. Free of charge. I've got nothing better to do."

Aleria smiles, more confident this time, and shakes Koryu's hand
"Nice to meet you Koryu. If you dont mind me coming, I would appreciate it. I don't have much money though, I am begining to run out, so I have cut back on eating. But if you require it for my stay, I shall give you what I have," Aleria scrabbles around in her purse, counting money

"Uhm, well, I'm fine on money, really." She said, holding her hands up. "Come on, let's go bother my brother." She took Aleria's hand, leading her out of teh slums to a larger mansion of a house. Koryu stided confidently up to teh door, kicking it in. "KOHAKU! I'm HOME!"

"Big brother's at a meeting," Aaron said, rushing down the stairs. He was four eleven, had black hair, and red eyes like his sister. "I'm in charge until he gets home."

SHe noogied him, laughing maniacally. "That's what you think, brat. Go make some food for our guest."

Aleria smiles happily at the actions of her companion, suppressing a laugh behind her hand. At the mention of food, her stomach rumbles loudly and she blushes bright red
"Oh dear, I am sorry about that," she looks around the house, "This is a very nice house you have here Koryu,"

Yuna was walking around the town as usual. But she could sense there was more people poping up everywhere. 'Hum, theres on on the mountain and another with Koryu' she looked around then sighed

"Its not mine. Was my parents 'fore they passed on. Now its my brothers. I just come here to get money and food when I need it. Not that I need it now, I just don't want anyone else in my apartment right now." She said, a bit defensively. "Either way, after teh brat gets you some food, we can talk about why you're here."

"I'm not a brat!" Aaron yelled from the kitchen.

Aleria giggles
"You have two brothers then? Do you get on well with them both? Or is this affection just for the younger?" she smiled brightly, ignoring the fact that Koryu didnt want anyone at her apartment. It wasnt Aleria's place to intrude on others. She wondered if everyone in Midnight was as nice as this family
