[The video opens to a view of the fountain and a small pair of feet clad in unusual, tight-fitting red boots. The audio feed is little more than the buzz of many voices overlapping, words lost in the crowd.

The little feet shift, pace, and occasionally vanish out of sight. After a time, the owner of the feet sits on the fountain's edge, coming into view. She's young and petite; her billowing outfit, tied at the waist, is all subdued red-browns and yellows. Her dark brown hair is pulled into an off-center bun.

The girl looks around with wide brown eyes. It's clear that she's surprised and nervous and very possibly overwhelmed by the busy City Square, but there's no panic or jitteriness in her movements. With an air of calm grace, she draws her legs up and settles into a meditative position.]

I wish I had brought a book.

[Her eyes close. The feed times out long before she moves.]


[ooc: Er... this does not happen at the same time as the goat-slaughtering post.]

No one I know would use these things.

Trust me. If they've been here a while, they will. It's an unfortunate necessity. [ and a curse, but that knowledge will come later. ]

Then I'll try, but I don't think it'll work.

[ there's a moment. A very deep moment of contemplation before he straightens to his full height and puts on one of his more regal looks ]

If it doesn't, then know well that you have a place to stay with us. A lady such as yourself shouldn't stay out all night in the cold if she can find alternative lodgings.

[ and yes, he is of the mind that Jinora is a lady in the making. A few more years and she could b the toast of the town. ]

And since you can hardly stay with a stranger, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Sir Arthur Pendragon, knight of the realm and crowned prince of Camelot although that was in a different land then this one. You may call me Arthur.

[Her, a lady? And he's a prince? Instant crush.

But she keeps it together and bows (not because he's a prince, but because that's the way things are done).]

Thank you, Arthur, sir. I'm Jinora, and I sincerely appreciate your offer.

[ He's feeling a little uncomfortable at the moment. Not because of the bowing, he's used to that, but rather because Charlie was usually the one inviting strangers into their home. ]

Right, well...

Just let me know how things turn out, okay?

[bookbending]

I will, sir, thank you.

[Fortunately for you, Arthur, this one will find a place to be that isn't your home.]
