mooglenet_backup[Early in the morning, Mjrn is winding her way around Lindblum's streets. Her spear is in hand, and a backpack hangs from one shoulder. She pays little attention to the noise and bustle of those around her, doing her best to ignore what snatches of conversation reach her ears. Normally bright-eyed and curious about everything, the young Viera seems lost in thought. Even the warbling of the fat little cockatrice accompanying her does not pierce that mental fog.
Despite giving little notice to her surroundings, Mjrn walks with purpose. She pauses only to purchase some fresh fruit and other food for Chit from a startled vendor before moving onward, toward the gate. Even though she was growing accustomed to the noise and numbers of humes and others within the city, Mjrn at the moment just needs to be away. Not even intermittent drizzling or clouds that threaten more of the same are going to keep her from venturing outside the city's walls. As far as the young Viera is concerned, it's time to train.]
[ooc: This takes place the day of Penelo's arrival, but obviously before that happens.]

Date: 2010-03-08 10:19 pm (UTC)Or at least that's the plan. However, Mjrn soon realizes that Chit is darting off in another direction. The patter of cockatrice feet is soon traced to the little bird heading directly for a familiar, downcast-looking woman.]
Chit!
[The little cockatrice peers up at Aerith curiously and peeps. Quickening her stride, Mjrn catches up.]
Aerith? Ah, hello. I am sorry if she disturbed you.
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 01:01 am (UTC)O-Oh, hi. [Aerith laughed softly.] It's alright. I'm just glad the bird wasn't a monster. There are few creatures that stalk near Lindblum's gates.
[Smiling down at Chit, Aerith began to wonder what sort of bird it is.] It's cute, Mjrn. Is it your pet?
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 02:29 am (UTC)Aye, in a fashion. Her name is Chit, and she is a friend from my world. She is drawn to those who seem to need a little cheer...as I did, when we met.
[A small smile forms, remembering. Chit bumps gently against Aerith and peeps again, her form of greeting.]
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 03:14 am (UTC)Really? Aw, that's rather nice of her but Chit has nothing to worry about. I'm alright, really.
[No, she was not alright. Missing both Zack and now Nanaki along with other friends and family was starting to get to her.]
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 04:47 am (UTC)Even so...I am sorry that you are parted from a friend.
[Her voice grows a touch softer.]
I will miss Nanaki, too.
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 04:54 am (UTC)[She was referring to the mad scientists and all the testing Nanaki endured under both Hojo's and Cidolfus' experiments.]
I..I don't know if I healed him well enough but I just know Nanaki will be okay. I'll miss him a lot but I guess this is for the best.
[action]
Date: 2010-03-09 09:52 pm (UTC)Before we gathered at Matoya's Cave, Nanaki stated that he believed you had healed him. There was no further complaint, so I believe that to be a good sign. He is strong, and your magic must be strong as well.
[action]
Date: 2010-03-10 12:36 am (UTC)[She was still very angry about the experiments Dr. Cid conducted on Nanaki because it proved just how corrupt these men of science really are.]
I was shocked. He was so thin, so fragile. Even the light upon his tail was dimmed along with the gleam within his eyes.
I was terrified but now, now I am hoping for the best.
[Glancing up towards the sky again, a question popped into her mind regarding the long-eared woman beside her.]
...Say, where are you from?
[action]
Date: 2010-03-10 09:34 pm (UTC)I am from Ivalice...and before then, the Wood. The Wood is the origin of all Viera.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-09 01:29 am (UTC)Mjrn. 'Tis unhappy weather that greets you this morning.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-09 02:29 am (UTC)I do not mind. It suits well enough.
Do you also seek to train?
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-09 04:10 am (UTC)One cannot always choose the battlefield. To battle in rain is a challenge that I have not mastered, so I find need to train in this weather.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-09 04:49 am (UTC)To train in only fair weather would hardly be sufficient preparation.
[And with that, she heads toward the gate again.]
Is there a favored area outside these walls, that you might wish to visit?
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-10 12:22 am (UTC)[Action]
Date: 2010-03-10 08:58 pm (UTC)Aye, this is true. I often train at or near the Pinnacle Rocks. It is quite suitable for suck a task.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-11 01:50 am (UTC)[He begins to think of possible battle strategies to utilize against the Viera.]
I have spent time there as well.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-11 08:16 pm (UTC)I find a peace there that is lacking in the city. Ironic, I suppose, considering my use for it.
[Action]
Date: 2010-03-12 01:23 am (UTC)[He allows his mouth to curl into a smite of a grin at the antics of Chit]
no subject
Date: 2010-03-09 05:43 am (UTC)Unfortunately, if being in a big urban area wasn't bad enough, there were the sheer numbers of animal people about. She stared in disbelief as a hippo woman and hippo child walked past, along with what looked like a ratman and... a rabbit with white ears and a pet bird?
She knows that it's rude to stare, but she cannot seem to force herself to stop.]
no subject
Date: 2010-03-09 05:57 am (UTC)Chit!
[She shakes her head a little, obviously resigned to this behavior. Upon spotting the woman that's caught the attention of her friend, Mjrn nods a bit shyly, more so at the staring. She has tried to get used to the reaction, but it's been a long stretch since it last happened. Lingering in Lindblum does have its benefits.]
...hello, miss. I hope that Chit has not troubled you. She is merely curious and means no harm.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-09 11:33 pm (UTC)No, not at all. There's a great deal around to attract her notice, I'm surprised I drew her attention.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-10 09:33 pm (UTC)I should not be, but she can be difficult to predict. Many are the distractions in Lindblum, and she is easily snared by any and all of them.
[A polite nod.]
I am Mjrn.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-13 12:48 am (UTC)[She extends her hand for a shake, making herself maintain eye contact and not staring at Mjrn's ears.]
What sort of bird is your pet?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-13 08:57 pm (UTC)It is nice to meet you as well, Raine.
Chit is a cockatrice. In the Giza Plains of Ivalice, the nomads domesticate her kind. She is quite tame.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-15 10:53 pm (UTC)[Petting the bird for a moment.]
Ivalice, Is that a country or a world?
no subject
Date: 2010-03-16 01:30 am (UTC)It is neither; a large region of my world. However, when speaking to those not originating from the area, Ivalice is often used as the name of the world, for convenience.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-17 01:46 am (UTC)[Smiling sheepishly, even though she's moved past staring at the ears.]
I'm sorry, it's still foreign to me that there are different places out there.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-17 06:37 pm (UTC)I understand. Much was foreign to me when first I left the Wood.
[How to explain...]
It is in a southern region of Ivalice, though Viera who dwell within do not consider it to be a part of the whole.
no subject
Date: 2010-03-20 12:55 am (UTC)no subject
Date: 2010-03-20 03:17 am (UTC)[But she doesn't seem to mind that too much, given her expression. Perhaps a little wistful, but that's all.]
no subject
Date: 2010-03-20 07:13 pm (UTC)How fortunate that you have family with you. My husband and children are here, and I consider myself lucky for that.
[Lucky for a second chance to get to know the children and see Laguna at all again.]
