The longer she walked, the more solid her belief that she would find no one that wasn't blond-haired, blue-eyed, pale-skinned, and oddly dressed. Just as she was about to give up, a sliver of brown caught her eye. There were two of them, two deviants standing on the walkway. They, too, were unfamiliar; however, Ivy hadn't thought to look for anyone she knew. People that she knew were not the sort one would seek willingly, certainly not under the present circumstances.
Slowing her pace a bit, Ivy continued to approach the duo at a slightly slower pace. She noted what appeared to be nervousness clouding the brunette's features; though, she couldn't imagine why. The silver-haired girl didn't seem hostile to be hostile...or perhaps the two were in a situation similar to her own? Perhaps...
There was only one way to find out.
"Pardon me, ladies," Ivy said, coming to a halt a few steps from the two, "I couldn't help but notice...you aren't from around here." She didn't bother questioning an apparent fact. Their clothing was different, yes, but not the same as the monotonous individuals. Lifting her eyes to meet theirs, she did not bother softening her accent; though, she did allow some softness into her features. After all, she didn't want to scare the poor dears. "Would you happen to know anything about this place? ...Other than the name?"
