Built Like A Bear, Helpful Like A Service Dog
Who; Lauri-Ell and You
What; Lauri-Ell Around, not afraid of bear
Where; Bay Blades, Market, Library, Tavern
When; Second Half of October
Warnings;
1. Giant Blacksmith To Be At Bay Blades
The work was not something that she had set out to dedicate herself to. No, it had merely been that Lauri-Ell had wandered the city exploring, only to come across a place the smelled of fire and coal and hot metal, where she had found a straining woman wrestling with a large sack of coals. A hand given and a conversation later and they were sizing her for gloves and an apron and so the city had a new apprentice blacksmith.
One who even now stood by the forge, not even with a hammer in hand, but rather working on carefully sharpening a sword that Gili had finished just that day. And, when someone approached, she looked up and smiled at them.
"Greetings, this is the Bay Blades. For what have you arrived? Show I summon master Gili? She currently handles any orders that require placement."
2. Shopping Is A Girl's Best Friend Markets
A small stipend, Lauri-Ell was finding, was more than enough to provide for her. In fact, it was enough that she found herself moving through the markets, looking for little things that would make her home more comfortable. And, in this case, she did it at the stalls. She was paused at one of them now, running her hands over a blanket decorated with flowers. Oh yes, it looks so good.
Then there was another stand, at this one she picked up a small plush doll that looked like an orange cat, smiling at it fondly. There were clearly memories here, ones she didn't know how to approach.
3. Dinner and Drinking Under Tables Tavern
There was little need for Lauri-Ell to use her small stipend on food. Instead Lauri-Ell made her way to the tavern at night and there she sat at the table, smiling. The answer was an easy one.
"I can take anyone in arm wrestling," she explains as she puts her arm on the table, poised and smiling. "If I win, you pay for my meal?"
And once the night has passed and a meal is finished, there's the matter of drinking. Alcohol served here does little to Kree physiology, but it is fun to enjoy it with the people, for they seem to merry. Lauri-Ell smiles once her table is cleared and gestures people around.
"Stories. I will trade stories for a drink or two. Yes?"
4. Books Are The Answer Library
Engineered as she was, Lauri-Ell needed less sleep than many others, and even though her work at the smith's shop was sun up to sun down on week days, there was always the evenings and weekends for her to pass time. Which found Lauri-Ell regularly in the library, selecting books and finding a place to sit down and read. Even now she had open a large tome on the theory of blacksmithing. Yes, perhaps she was working some, but it was so very intriguing. Especially since her species had mostly skipped right past the traditional trials and tribulations of learning to smelt and smith.
"How interesting, these sand molds," she mumbles to herself as she finishes with one chapter and puts the book down. She had done some work, so clearly it was time for the pleasure of reading. For which she picked up a smaller book. One that was clearly a book on flowers.
"If only I could trust flowers would not attack here."

Library
"Figures, a vertically challenged person would want to read a book on the top fracking shelf," She muttered mostly to herself but she overheard the comment made by the girl with the flower book.
"Why would the flowers attack?" She asked.
no subject
"Because the Cotati manipulated them. Which book are you seeking?"
Being well over seven feet, reaching the top shelf would be no issue at all.
Markets!
Lauri-Ell wasn't strange to her, in fact, she was used to large blue people. The current leader of the Ronso was one of her best friends and in the past, he'd been her Guardian. As Yuna stopped next to the stall she noticed that Lauri-Ell didn't look like a Ronso. She wasn't covered in fur though she had the muscles to fit in with the other Ronso women.
It made Yuna a little homesick and without thinking about it, she spoke to the blue stranger with a warm smile. "Cute, isn't he. Are you going to get him?" She wasn't looking at Lauri-Ell but at the little orange cat.
Re: Markets!
"I have considered it. My sister had a beast like this."
Markets!
"What was its name? if it's okay for me to ask."
Re: Markets!
Markets!
"It's a good purchase. I haven't found anything from Spira here. It's very different from my home." It made her a little homesick but she was used to being away and traveling. One day, she'd find her home, wherever that might be.
no subject
"I have not heard of a world called that. I hope it is a pleasant one."
no subject
She could just be herself here.
"Where are you from? I admit, I thought you were one of the Ronso when I first saw you." The word was spoken affectionately, as her mind wandered to kimhari. She wondered what her guardian was doing now.
no subject
So really, she didn't have a homeworld anymore.
no subject
no subject
"I have never seen mountains. What are they like?"
It's so much more important than explaining the flagship of the fleet.
no subject
"It's so high and the wind blows across the peaks, sounding like a song that you can sing along too."
no subject
"Someone here was teaching me about music. It was very nice. Kree do not have music."
no subject
"Have you tried it?"
no subject
"No I have not. This place is the first where I have heard music. A man named Caelan played for me."
no subject
"I just sing what I feel. I don't think too much about it."
no subject
"Yes, Caelan said that the mood matters. I was intrigued by this.
no subject
"Even just humming a song. It doesn't take much, as long as it's what you're feeling."
no subject
Because she wishes to have more experiences.
no subject
"What do you think?"
no subject
"What is this 'concert' of which you speak?"
The world held no meaning and she wished to understand.

Which is silly of course, but she will absolutely be there.

"Thank you. I shall enjoy this."
