Seradiel

[ The tactician had his attention fully on a book. He did, however, hear the request given to him. It’s perfect for them because he knew about the shops all over Shirasagi. Without even looking up, Yukimura started pointing out specific directions. ]

“If you’re looking for something simple, I suggest the shop a few feet away from us. They have great toys for children who’re still babies. If you’re looking for anything older than five-years old, then there’s a great shop that’s a few blocks down. My suggestion, however, is a shop over to our left, here. They have toys perfect for anyone of any age.”

“It’s alright, I’ve done the same thing before.”

  She gave a small shrug and smiled lightly to show that it hadn’t bothered her. Since the man had bothered to come all this way perhaps she should introduce herself?

“My name is Seradiel, by the way. I live in Kaltershire; it’s a small town in Nohr.”

“It’s pretty secluded, so I easily forget that there are sore feelings between our countries. I figured the stares were because… you know…”

She shifted her wings and looked down.

“I mean, I wasn’t born in Nohr, but I grew up there. As a matter of fact, I’m not actually related to my siblings.”

The woman had started to ramble, wanting to ease the uncomfortable mood. She realized it and looked back up.

  Upon entering the shop the Laguz woman’s eyes widened slightly. She looked around, almost feeling like she was the child. She slowed and cocked her head slightly when she saw strange, raven-man plushies sitting on a shelf. She approached them and gently picked one up.

  “W-Welcome ma’am.”

A nervous young teen walked up with a broom. He seemed to work here. Serdiel, who was used to strange looks, paid his nervousness no mind.

“I’ve never seen anything like these in Nohr. Do people like this really exist?”

Seradiel returned her gaze to the small fluffy toy. She had spent years trying to find her homeland on maps without success, or even other flying shape-shifters. These are the closest she’s seen to anything like her since fleeing Phoenicis.

“Oh, those are Tengu, ma’am. I honestly don’t know if they’re real, they’re more of a Hoshidan legend than anything else.”

[ Just then, he was caught staring at her and he attempted to glance away. To no avail did he find solace in this, so instead he approached her while thinking of something to say that didn’t involve her wings. ]

 “It’s alright, I’ve done the same thing before.”

 “Thank you, Sir. It’s been a few years since I’ve even left my town. Everything is so lively here!”

         She glanced at the book in the strangers hand and became slightly embarrassed.

 “Oh, I didn’t realize – from the angle I was at I didn’t see you where reading. I’ll let you get back to it then.”

         With a small shrug of apology she waved and began to head to the closest of the buildings that had been pointed out. Surely she could find something both of the twins would enjoy? Or perhaps she should buy them something different? Yes, they would probably prefer that. She mentally calculated the amount of money she had brought and frowned, knowing it would depend on prices.
