The sun was setting and Ynara was walking along the streets trying to find somewhere to sleep until she could settle down in a shack of her own. She had just come from the beach a couple hours ago. The Ocean was amazing! There were a couple of neat shells in her pocket she had found. She also liked watching the baots come in.
Finaly! a tavern just happened to pop up. Yay! So, she went in, asked if anything was vacant (yes), paid the guy at the counter who told her were to go, and headed up the stairs. After finding her rom and securing her things, Ynara went down stairs to grab something to eat. She ate some kind of fish (she really didnt know what they were since she had never lived by the Ocean) and drank some ale. This band was playing a hard sea - tune which sounded realy neat. There were some differences between this kind and the music shed heard all her life. Then the band started to play some song that just about everyone in the pub knew. Ynara decided to head back upstairs whn suddenly she heard an angry yelling vioce from the left corner....

Ailiana had arrived at Sapphire City for a much needed vacation. Her mind was tired, as was her body, and she was ready to fall asleep with the sound of the ocean waves filling her bedroom every night. At least, until she went back to the Royal City. Ailiana recieved pay as a sorceress for the Queen, and she had brought a small bit of it with her to the harbor. It wasn't enough to sustain her for more than a couple of days, though.
She had arrived hungry, and her stomach still had a sort of gnawing pain in it; insistent, never ending. Sighing, Ailiana took a seat in the corner. Sleep could wait. Right now she needed food. She ordered a simple cut of meat to sustain her hunger through the night, and waited for her food to arrive. The tavern smelled of salt air, sweaty sea men and travelers, and hot food of all kinds. This only made Ailiana hungrier, and finally a plate of hot pork was clapped in front of her.
Snapping her fingers, Ailiana's money pouch appeared and she dug out a gold coin, handing it to her waiter before attacking her meat with the eating utensils. It wasn't the best cut of pork she'd ever had, but when one is hungry, any kind of meat becomes an absolute delicacy.
The band started to play a song that seemed familiar to many in the tavern, as almost everyone stood and grabbed partners to start to dance. A weak smile tugged at Ailiana's lips. She wasn't one to dance, personally, so she kept on eating.
And then a man stood opposite her. He seemed rather dirty, as if he hadn't had a bath in a while, and the air around him didn't seem entirely innocent as he grunted, "Dance?"
She caught a whiff of ale off his breath, and Ailiana politely shook her head. "No, thank you," she said, offering a half smile and returning to her food.
"Somethin' wrong with me?" growled the man, a drunken scowl on his face. "Not good enough for you, am I?"
Her brow rose, and Ailiana found it difficult to reply. "N-no, it's not that at--"
"I've got money if that's what you want."
Suddenly, his intentions became crystal clear to Ailiana. Her stomach heaved, and she lost her appetite. Blinking twice, she looked down at her plate before standing. It took all of her will power not to slap the man before her with a harsh and stiff hand. "Have a good night," she said coldly, turning.
But his greasy hand grabbed hers. "C'mon--"
"Back off!" yelled Ailiana, pulling her hand back and whirling around. The music stopped, and all heads turned to look at Ailiana as her face reddened in embarassment and anger.
((ooc: meh, sorry, long post ><))

Ynara was standing half up the stairs. She rubbd her hazey eyes and looked down at the person. She wasnt looking the happiest. There was an annoyance in the air without the music. Some people who wispering things. Tapping her fingers lightly on the rail, Ynara was waiting for something to happen, she'd have to be knocked if she werent.

"Deranged..." "Wonder what's wrong with her...?" "What happened? I missed it, what happened?" The whispers reached her ears, and Ailiana looked down at the ground in embarassment. She looked to her side to see that the man looking for a 'dance partner' had left, and therefore she must look very deranged indeed. "S--Sorry," she stuttered. "Um... carry on."
This was done rather hesitantly; the musicians slowly picked up their instruments once more, giving her wary glances every now and then as if expecting her to start screaming once more. Glancing at her plate, which had half a cut of meat and a few vegetables left on it, Ailiana left it as it was and started for the stairs.
A woman was standing half-way up the stairs, tapping her fingers on the rail and watching Ailiana with a look of indifference on her face. The girl slowed as she neared the stranger, looking her in the eye before staring back at the ground. "What're you looking at?" mumbled Ailiana under her breath, hoping the woman didn't hear before continuing to march up the stairs.

Ynara stared at her as she stormed up the stairs. *She wasnt the type to start brawls was she?*
*oy* The show was over so there would be no reason to just stand their like a zombie. She turned around and, seeing the lady wasnt their, moved on up the stairs.
When she got to the top, she saw the lady just about to enter her room.
Yawning Ynara said " Are you new to this place?" looking for the door to her room.

The woman who had been standing on the stairs followed Ailiana to the landing before turning to the opposite side of the hall and searching for the door to her room. Ailiana had thought the subject would be left there; conversation over.
But as her hand touched the doorknob, Ailiana heard the woman speak once more. "Sort of," replied Ailiana, looking over her shoulder at the stranger. Nice one, she commended herself silently. It didn't deny or give an answer; good way to dance around a question.
The only problem was that it was blatantly obvious.

" Uh, yeah know what, ill just leave you alone right now, you look like you could need lots a sleep. See ya tomorrow,maybe"

A shack? wondered Ailiana. Her first thought was, why would anyone want to buy a shack? But then she dug deeper. You could live by yourself, unperturbed, only having to worry about yourself. "Maybe," said Ailiana in reference to if she might see the woman in the morning.
She slipped into her room, closing the door behind her with a final sigh. Shedding her clothes, Ailiana slipped into a nightdress and quickly slid under the covers of her bed. It wasn't too comfortable, but it would do. Closing her eyes, Ailiana found her mind easily detached. It began to wander, wander into dreams...
A mere couple of hours later, though, there was a large bang, at which Ailiana's eyes opened with a snap. There was another bang, and she sat up, looking around the room warily. Third bang, this one followed by a small yelp. Ailiana stood reluctantly, starting over towards the door.
