Cana groaned, “Ugh, somehow I got covered in… ICK!”
Cassandra raised her eyebrows, “What’s the matter, you didn’t see it coming?”
“Oh, ha-ha, very funny, I’m all gross and slobbered on and you’re strutting with a newfound smile, at my expense,” Cana rolled her eyes, head to toe, especially stuck in her hair, was a substance never known before to man. It had once been jelly from a caterpillar, now, she’d walked under the wrong branch and SPLAT! Goo soaking up her new clothes and squishing with every step her feet would take.
“Look! There’s a clearing up ahead!” Cassandra said with a nimble point of her hand.
“Really? I’m saved from this sludge! Do you think we’ve stumbled on one of their villages? Do you… Think they’d let me shower?” Cana said smiling with her cheeks hot with embarrassment.
“Haha let’s first see if they speak english and aren’t hostile, shall we? Don’t forget the basics,” Cassandra smiled and her fangs gleamed in the newfound twilight. “Would you look at that? We’ve been walking all night.”
“Better bust out your hat…” Cana muttered under her breath, her feet still squishing.
“The sign says Ambrosia, is that where your drunkard bar friend told you to go and find him?” Cassandra jeered.
“DRUNKEN? Humph! Just because you can’t handle a drink doesn’t make me a drunk!” Cana growled. But she was tired and had been walking all night, her feet were blistering and she’d been layered in ick for hours and walking around this dismal path, encountering creatures and creepy crawlers of the night.
“I’ll forget you didn’t say that,” Cassandra warned, “Let’s just go to the village and see what we can find out… And definitely get you to a bath.”
They walked in on cobblestone streets and it looked like just a normal little town. It was adorable, quaint, and very shower-compatible. “One shower please!” Cana burst out as she entered a random shop, good thing that shop was directly next to an inn which could accommodate them with not only a shower, but a pair of beds. Cana eagerly nodded and Cassandra went over to the diner, called The Sty and Fry, strolling casually and doing her best to keep up appearances, she’d get a to-go meal for her companion and ask some for some intel on their mission. Perhaps even dine on a cuppa joe.
Ring-ring! the door chimed as she entered, the vampire cast a cold darkness across the room and settled for a seat at the breakfast bar.
Ring-ring! the door opened again and the bell clattered behind him with the closing of the door. Heavy boots clunked forward and he too sat beside the vampire.
An anthropomorphic pig came out to greet her two travelers, “Hi y’all! My name’s Mina, how can I help ya?” She had a broad smile and her eyes were as welcoming as her voice.
“Ladies first,” the man’s voice was low-toned and polite.
Cassandra nodded, “Cup of coffee please, and may I order a meal to-go?”
“Sure thing darlin’ can I offer you anything to eat presently?” Mina filled the plain white mug with the warm java.
“No thanks, to-go for me.” Cassandra confirmed and Mina extended a menu next to her joe.
The male to her left also ordered coffee and a special french-style omelette, he picked up a fork with his silver hand and chomped on a bite while she pointed to the menu and said she wanted this meal to-go. It was mainly a random item she’d pointed to, which she could only guess her human companion Cana would enjoy.
Whoa, he could eat! In a whirlwind, he’d packed away the serval eggs and his biscuit. Next he was guzzling his coffee. The empty clunk of his mug hit the table and with a smile he boasted, “That was a wonderful breakfast!”
“You really know how to chow down sugar, care for dessert? We have pie,” the pig offered out a refill on the coffee too, but he just shook his head.
“That’s enough coffee too, thanks!” He offered her a smile as big as she had when they’d first walked in the door.
“How about you honey?” Mina offered, the vampire shook her head and the check was brought.
Cassandra reached for her wallet and saw that it was empty, her eyes darted around nervously and the man beside her waved his silver hand, noticing her immediate shame and lack of money, “Don’t worry, I’ll cover us both. I was once like you y’know, traveling and not a penny to my name. Here, keep the change.”
The waitress smiled in thanks and he stood up and walked out the door as simply as he had walked in. Cassandra placed her hand on Cana’s breakfast, “Will that be all?” Mina asked Cassandra if she wanted seconds on the coffee.
“Um, yes, foodwise, but may I ask if you’ve seen a mage named Gildarts? Me and my friend are actually looking for him and we heard he had some sort of affiliation with this town?” the vampire proposed.
“Ha-ha, that’s a funny question, most everyone here knows about Gildarts, one of the most powerful primes I’ve ever seen, also, he just bought your breakfast sugar,” Mina winked and Cassandra froze. Replaying the image at the corner of her eye of the man’s face, the streak of auburn hair and the unmistakable presence he’d cast with his spirit once he’d been fed. He seemed like a simple, tortured kind of man. It was interesting how without knowing it, he’d just bought his daughter a meal. Interesting how fate is intertwined so simply.
“Uh, where do you think he’s going next?” Cassandra asked hurriedly.
“Well, I imagine he’s going to enjoy some of the town’s festivities, it’s a little girl’s birthday today and the whole town is celebrating!” Mina spoke with a slight, homey accent.
Cassandra ran out the door with the meal in her hands and shouted, “Thanks!” as she dashed off.
