"Memmon." he said with a smile.
That trading deal is either good, or just too good to be true. . .
"I'm going to check it out once the crowd is gone, would you like to check it out with me?" he asks warmly.

Chihiro approaches the twins. "Please forgive me." She says with a Japanese accent as she bows. "I heard the two of you mentioning your need for rations. There is a river, with fish, which runs through this settlement."

Gabriella nodded, a hand coming up to put her long, blonde hair behind her ear. "Sure! I'd love to," she replied, still smiling. "I could always use some company."

"What, just the two of you?" asks the Man with the Nose. "Nobody else?" He doesn't ask where their parents are, but glances around, just in case he can spot them (naturally, he can't).
He smiles at Chihiro. "Sure there's a river! But to live off it means you got to stay by it, right? Some people might like a bit of freedom, not to mention variety in their diet! A rich combination of grains, fruits and vegetables to help you grow strong and live long, right?"

"Then lets do that." Memmon smiled, and just bought the supplies from the man in the stand in front of him, not in the mood to haggle anymore, and probably paying more than he should have. He turned back to the woman in the long sleeves, and asked "What is your name?" he asked, seeming nervous now, as another question popped into his head.
I wonder if she would like to travel with me. . .

"You are right. A human needs more than fish to live on." Jeanette Isabelle |

[OOC] Question to the GM: What time of the year is it in the story currently? [/OOC] Nobody said it takes place at the beginning of May. I presume he means May 1. I looked at the 2050 calender and May 1 falls on a Sunday which is perfect. Jeanette Isabelle |

Leo and Lea look at one another. Then the two of them look at Chihiro. "River is good for fresh food..." "...but we will not be staying long." "We are scavengers..." "...and we are rovers." the two of them giggle. "Besides, the river running through Charleston..." "...is the only river for miles and miles.""It will attract bandits and slavers..." "...and all of the dangerous creatures in the area." "We do not want to risk that..." "...even for a regular meal."
The two nod. Then, looking at The Man, they grin. "Only Leo and Lea are traveling together...""...we do not have any parents." "We remember only snatches..." "... the rest is all gone."

Having lived in Charlton for two years, and going to the river which runs through it every day, Chihiro knows better. However, that is beside the point. The twins have said they were scavengers and rovers who were not staying long.
Instead of catching dinner, she presents them with another offer. "If you ever wish to settle down, I know of a place."

"Do you always finish each other's sentences like that?" asks the man with the large nose. "My name's Alfred, by the way. Alfred Spangler. May I have a look at that gun you're offering for trade?"

Leo and Lea nod at Alfred, looking at Chihiro as she gives her offer. The two of them look at each other and are silent for several seconds. in reality, the two are flashing thoughts back and forth at one another. She offers us a Home? Has it been found at last? No, this is not our home, wemust move on. But how do we know its not our Home? Does it feel like our Home? No. Then it's not our Home.
After this unspoken, unheard conversation, they turn to Chihiro. "Thank you for the offer..." "...but we must find our Home ourselves." They turn to Alfred. "Yes, we do always..." "...finish each other's words."
They pull out the rusty pistol, offering it to Alfred, after unchambering the round and removing the magazine. "We have not yet..." "...given you our names." Leo rolls up his right sleeve and shows Alfred and Chihiro his arm, and Lea simply turns to show him her bare arm. Leo's arm reads 'TS13A 'LEO', while Lea's arm reads 'TS13B 'LEA'. The words are tatooed lengthwide down their biceps, in a plain, almost military type.
Then they turn and look at Chihiro. "We have not..." "...recieved your name. It is only...""...right you give it."

Careful to keep his fingers away from the trigger and not point the gun at anyone, Alfred takes a look over it. "My goodness, this is rusty. Poor maintenance. Does it even still work?" He manages to open it up and look inside after a bit of trial and error; from the expression on his face, whatever he sees in there is mildly unwelcome. "Hmmm. Honestly, if it doesn't work then it's worth a lot less than those bullets." He passes the gun back, and asks "May I have a look at them?"

"My name is Gabriella, Gabriella Ricasad," she replied with a cheerful smile. "What do you do for a living, if I might ask Mr. Memmon?" She put her hands behind her back, looking up at him.

"Nice to meet you Gabriella." Memmon smiles. "I scavenge, and wander, just hoping to find a good home, but in no real hurry." he says warmly, with a small bow.
"Would you. . . have me as your guide for a while?" he asks nervously, smiling hopefully.
