Searching for Allies (Open)

After finding herself in this strange new place, the first thing Sophie thought to do was try to find her friends. Of course she wasn't having much luck at the moment. It wasn't like the purple haired girl was going to let such a thing like that stop her. The way she saw it was that if she had ended up here then her bonds with the others would draw them here as well. Sure it was a rather naive and idealistic way to look at things but that was the way her mind worked. Blinking a few strays of sunlight out of her eyes, Sophie admired a small flower which was just sitting in a small garden in a small residential district. In a way the tiny flower reminded her of the Sopherias growing in the garden in front of Lhant Manor. Of course this flower seemed just a tad bit different as it's shade of purple seemed to gradient down to red at the tips of it's petals.

"I wonder what it's called," The girl, bending her knees to get a closer look at the flower, muttered to herself. Even though she tended to a garden back at Lhant the girl had never saw a flower that looked like this one did. Briefly her thoughts wandered to whether or not she could get a seed for this flower but she decided against it. For some reason she doubted whoever owned this garden would take kindly to her barging into their home and demanding a flower seed. Besides she honestly doubted that Asbel would take well to that kind of sudden behaviour. Speaking of Asbel she had spotted a manor nearby for sale that reminded her of Lhant Manor. If she could ever find the maroon haired boy she could try and persuade him to buy the place. One of her reasons was that Asbel held the majority of the group's gald and the other was that it seemed like the perfect place for everyone to gather at.

Sophie was never really good with counting money which is why she never held the gald. Sophie really wasn't sure how much that manor was but she doubted it was too much gald. Just then, distracting her thoughts momentarily, Sophie noticed a woman with flowing light blue hair. Out of curiousity Sophie decided to walk closer to the pretty woman. The woman seemed to be deep in thought from what Sophie could tell though about what she couldn't say. Was there something wrong or was she pondering what to eat for dinner? If it was something dinner related then Sophie could suggest Crablettes. Still Sophie couldn't help but draw closer in curiosity.

Hello~ Is something the matter?" The girl inquired when she had finally drawn closer to the woman.

"There's nothing wrong dear. I'm simply looking for a good ranged fighter and a healer. It's to help with a rather big task." Sophie beamed at that not because she was happy that the woman needed a fighter for some reason but rather that the woman was straightforward with her. While she did in fact have a rather childlike mindset, Sophie didn't really like it when people lied to her because of her youthful appearance. In Sophie's mind honesty was a valuable thing. The girl was naturally curious so it really did her no good for her questions to be brushed off in such a manner. Sophie just had to wonder what sort of task was so big that it required warriors. There were many possibilities for such a need but it was probably better for the girl to ask the woman directly.

"I can heal but why do you need those?" Sophie, tilting her head in thought, questioned the woman. The fodran being really wasn't able to understand what sort of task made such a group of people necessary unless it was a quest to save the world. The white haired woman didn't really look like the hero type though Sophie knew well that looks were deceiving at time. Sophie herself knew that she looked to be a young teenager at the least but her real age was unknown even to her. Then again the world that she found herself in didn't really seem to need saving unless she was missing something. Was it the sort of danger that couldn't be spotted right off of the bat like with Lambda? There were so many questions swirling around in the young girl's mind with very little answers to her questions.

Sophie had to pause and think about it for a moment however when the woman asked her if she was lost. What defined being lost in the first place? Sophie wasn't really sure of what it really meant to be lost. The girl had never really questioned it during her adventures back on Ephinea and Fodra. If she were to go off of limb and choose whether she was lost or not Sophie would probably say she was. Her walk really had no aim to it other than stopping to smell the flowers, both figuratively and literally, along the way and finding her friends. Seeing no other answer to the woman's question, Sophie nodded her head to confirm that she was in fact rather lost. At the mention of a cafe Sophie's stomach rumbled. She figured that a cafe was a place to eat at given that the white haired woman mentioned stopping there if she was in fact hungry.

"Does this cafe sell Crablettes?" It probably sounded like a strange question for the other woman but when it came to Crablettes Sophie was single minded. "I'm looking for my friends." Sophie continued when the woman asked her if she was looking for someone. Almost instantly Sophie was reminded of the fact that she still needed to find one of her friends. It really didn't matter who she found as long as they were alright in the end. Sophie knew that she couldn't of been the only one not from here that ended up here. All it would take was probably some time but she was sure that she would find them one day no matter how long it actually took.
