Character(s): Neirenn and Yorda
Content: Yorda's wandering around the city and happens upon a certain mage.
Setting: The city of Paixao, on the streets.
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: Other than possibly gratuitous amounts of Yorda's curiosity, none.

She had never been afraid of the dark. It simply wasn't in her nature, and although she would have had a hard time, if not for the glow that still filled her entire being - but something was wrong. She did not glow as brightly as she usually did, though her light was enough to see by, and she was having no trouble finding her way around the city. She couldn't manage to make her journal work, try as she might, and frowned.

She hoped everyone else in the city was alright.

"Oh... I see," said Neirenn. She tried to picture it, and came up with an image like the old watchtower that she had seen on her journey with Ash, Varden, and Lei'ella. When those on the island had displeased her... Maybe she was corrupted... maybe it's worse if you're not human.

"Are you sure you want to talk about this?" she asked. Really, Neirenn had a hard time understanding how open and freely Yorda spoke of the painful things in her life. Neirenn had always kept her problems close to her vest, even when people pressed and pried.
