Reim Empire

[Apollymi]

Shadiya smiled to see this boy so interested in books. "You're welcome~" she said. She moved right along. But outside an interesting and apparently common occurrence was taking place.

A blue haired girl, apparently known as Jamila was being offered a hand up by Malik and the extension of his hand was met by her rather large brown eyes. They seemed to sparkle and her heart beat just a little bit faster as she accepted the hand up and pulled herself up and began dusting herself off. "Thank you, Malik." she said sheepishly. To the question posed to her by the pink haired young man she only pouted seeming to become upset. "Yes, my shoes fit. I just tripped it's not a big deal." she said her facing turning red, mostly from embarrassment. "It's normal." she said seeming to forget why she was approaching this place initially.

[Bloodedge]

"Normal for you, maybe," Malik said as he assisted the girl in getting back onto her feet. He quickly inspected her for injuries, checking knees, the front and either side of her face, etc. Everything seemed to be in order. "Well, you look alright this time, so no tears, yeah? Anyway, what's up?" he asked while offering the lass what remained of his fourth and final apple.

[Apollymi]

"No, it isn't just me..." she said still pouting. Though she wasn't sure she could properly explain that beings like her were just a bit clumsy while they were growing into themselves. She stood still for the usual inspection and it seemed that Malik found she'd managed not to injure herself in her most recent fall, so she looked up at the young man as he spoke to her and nodded her head. "I wasn't going to cry." she protested, knowing full well if she'd been alone that would have been exactly what happened, but she accepted the remaining bit of apple she'd been offered with wide eyes and took a bite of it. Regardless of this point they were brought to the point of her actual visit which she remembered and motioned Malik down for so that no one else could hear. If he acquiesced to her wishes she would soon begin explaining. "Jellal, asked me to come here. He says I have a mission to find the person he's training. And he says... I should know who that is when I find them. He hasn't told me much about it, he says... I should be able to tell on my own. So... I'm here to meet the people in the house... I haven't seen any of them yet except you." said the girl. This as apparently some sort of training exercise for the small girl. "Oh and you can't help me. It will spoil it." she said with a curt nod.

[Bloodedge]

Malik acquiesced to the girl's desires and crouched to her level when she beckoned him forward. The information she gave him sounded about as mysterious as Jellal always was, at least around him. Jamila said he was not allowed to help her, but with what he was told, he wouldn't be able to do so even if he tried. "That's a really weird thing to be sent out for, but I guess I get it. Just... make sure you don't fall over when you're looking. I don't want to be the guy walking around the villa and catching you with a bloody face."

[Apollymi]

"I am always careful... it really is normal. Eventually I'll be the best at moving around, and I'll never fall again. You'll see." the girl said burning with her intention. Of course, this was soon diverted to her eating an apple and heading towards the house. "I'm going in for now to find the person I am looking for." she said as she headed into the house. With this she entered and began to wander the halls, wandering about she'd peek into every open door she found to see if there was someone there, and if there was, she'd speak to them to see if she could find the person she was looking for. Each step she took while she was doing this was exceedingly careful as she didn't want to fall too hard and make anyone worry about her.

[Bloodedge]

After leaving Malik outside, the next person Jamila encountered would not be the person she sought. In fact, the next person to be found in the same space as the blue-haired girl was the prince of Sindria, Fudo. He ate not an apple like everyone else, but bread instead. He was in his bedroom with the door open, left that way from Yasmin's trip around the building, when Jamila passed by. The young man locked eyes with the girl as she moved through the building, and spoke when he did. "Good morning. I believe I saw you in passing yesterday, right?"

[Apollymi]

The blue haired girl found herself standing before the young male eating alone in his room. This was a bit surprising, as he choose to speak to her and she was initially lost for a greeting. "Umm..." she stared for just a few seconds because up close this man was quite beautiful. His eyes and his hair, everything about him physically was intriguing and made the small girl's heart beat faster. Her face then became blushed as she managed to look away diverting herself to looking elsewhere. "Yes... that was me." she said giving a small bow the girl would remember at least to introduce herself. "My name is Jamila. It's nice to meet you." she managed. And though she did feel strangely around this man, she was fairly certain he wasn't who she was looking for.

[Bloodedge]

"Ah. I thought so," Fudo replied. A plate was on the table near the window in which he sat, and this plate was where he placed his bread before stepping away from the window. Approaching the blue-haired girl, he returned her bow with the due respect of a guest in another's household. "The pleasure is all mine, Jamila. My name is Fudo Shakir," he said. Once introductions were out of the way, he righted his posture. "I'm guessing you're with the Yambala Gladiators, then?"

[Apollymi]

"Um... no." the girl said to the question of her being part of the Yambala Gladiators. She went on to clarify, knowing that it would be strange for a young girl they didn't know to be walking around inside their dwelling. "My brother is, Jellal. He gave me a special mission to complete this morning and I have to do it all alone. With no help." the twelve year old explained. As she had already figured out that this man wasn't the person she was looking for, she really didn't want him accidentally helping her out. "So... I came to meet all of you." she said bowing again unconsciously. "Sorry for the intrusion."

[Bloodedge]

"No?" he asked. It was strange to know of someone occupying the same space as the elusive Yambala Gladiators without being directly associated with the group. Jamila went on to explain, though, that she was connected to one gladiator in particular, via sibling relationship. "Ah, I see. You two do look alike, now that I think about it." Thinking back to the man with the tattoo across his face, Fudo mentally placed these two side-by-side in his mind. In doing so, he also ran figures for what this girl's age might be. "There's no intrusion. I enjoy sudden company, and you seem to be good company to have."

[Apollymi]

The girl simply nodded her two pigtails waving from side to side as it was acknowledged that she looked a bit like her elder brother. "Yeah, we do look a bit alike, he's way older than me though. My parents thought it a good idea for me to stay with him for a while." she said with a nod. Beyond this point it was stated by Fudo that he enjoyed random company so she wasn't intruding. This seemed to make the young girl relax a great deal. "Really?" the girl asked as she sheepishly played with her hands in front of her having already finished the half apple she'd been given a few moments prior to this meeting. Still, she had work to do and couldn't tarry for very long, so she'd ready herself to leave. "Aww, now I am sad you aren't the person I'm looking for..." the girl concluded. She was rather sure this man wasn't the person she was looking for and with this knowledge she shouldn't continue to tarry here, even if he enjoyed her company.

While this took place Yasmin was standing in the kitchen having another apple to herself, when a dark haired girl dressed in black and white with gold accents walked in from her room. "Uh, good morning, Yasmin." she managed as she rubbed sleep from her eyes and glided around kitchen obstacles like she'd lived in this place her entire life, not just the past three days. "I take it, I'm the last one up again?" she asked as she opened her eyes from a particularly long blink to find the pink haired girl holding out an apple for her. "Good Morning, Nasira. And yes, you are.. but that is fine. Rest is good for you... breakfast?" she asked as she waited for the girl to take the apple, which she did with a smile offered to the other girl. "Thank you. I take it then you've been awake since long before the rest of us, I can assume everyone else as eaten too... one day... I'm going to wake up before you and do the shopping." she mentioned groggily taking a bite of her apple.

[Bloodedge]

"Yes, really. I very much enjoy meeting new people from different backgrounds. Stumbling upon people like you is what makes traveling all worth it in the end." According to what Jamila had been saying, her 'mission' of whatever caliber involved finding someone, likely within the group of individuals Fudo called his friends. This was a bit strange, but he couldn't rightly question it considering how unorthodox things tended to be around them even on the most normal of days. "Ah, you're looking for someone specific, and it's not me? What a shame. I enjoy being involved in things."

[Apollymi]

The girl's big eyes seemed glued to Fudo as he explained why he liked meeting new people. After a few seconds she supposed that she understood this reasoning and while a bit different from anything she had ever heard before, she figured it was at least a respectable reason to have. "I understand, I think." she mentioned looking a tad perplexed, but seemed to breeze right by it. It seemed that Fudo questioned her mission a bit at least understanding that it wasn't him and commented about that as well, which made the girl explain since she'd already determined this young man wasn't it. "Yes, Jellal told me to find his training partner. But he wouldn't tell me anything about this person, he simply said I'd know them when I saw them and to let them know he was ready when they were." she said with a nod. "He said it was something only I could do... so here I am, but I'm certain it isn't you... but I'm sure you're involved in lots of things." mentioned the girl. "Anyways, I should get going..." mentioned the girl, who turned but in so doing slammed directly into the door frame knocking herself down again. It would be very unclear how she even managed to do such a thing, this level of clumsiness wasn't that common after all, except in certain people. Tears welling up in her eyes, she rubbed her face and wondered how many had heard the loud noise caused by her random moment of clumsiness again.


Meanwhile Yasmin and Nasira were chatting and eating together in the kitchen the latter of which having a seat on an unoccupied counter-top eating away at her apple with a piece of bread by her side. "Yeah, yeah..." was the ending to whatever sentence Nasira had been speaking before hearing a noise. "You hear that?" she asked Yasmin who nodded before both of them rose to go investigate the origin of the noise. Soon enough both would find themselves outside of Fudo's room where the small blue haired girl had ran into the door way.

[Bloodedge]

"Ah, I see," said Fudo in response to the girl's explanations. If this Jellal had sent her to find his training partner with such instructions, there had to be some connection to the type of fighters they both were. Chances were, this lass would be able to locate Nasira due to being the same as them, too. Fudo thought of offering assistance, but recalled Jamila saying she was required to do this alone. With her announcement of being on her way, Fudo turned from the girl and waved, intending to return to his window space. However, a thud behind him made the young man turn around instantly, at which point he saw the fallen girl and moved to her location. "What happened? Are you alright?"

[Apollymi]

Soon enough Jamila was joined by Fudo who was inquiring as to what had happened and asking if she was okay. She was still rubbing her face and sitting on the floor, tears in the corner of her eyes but she managed to answer him, her face flushed red with her own embarrassment. "Yes, I'm fine... I just ran into the door frame." she said in the same way she'd explained everything else. "It happens, it's normal... don't worry." she said. Of course, many people wouldn't find this level of clumsiness to be normal at all, but it was rather normal for her at this point. Even so, she sat there looking a bit sheepish thereafter.

Meanwhile, Yasmin and Nasira made their way up the hallway and to the doorway of Fudo's room to find the small girl with her blue hair and red face and Fudo. "What happ..." the pink haired girl started to question before having a look around and coming to a bit of a conclusion. Yasmin was in front this time and as such she knelt down to the girl's level to have a look at her. "Oh? You fell then..." she had a look at the girl's face and nothing looking to be out of place. The blue haired girl nodded but she hadn't met this one yet so she introduced herself beginning to work herself back into the standing position. "I'm Jamila it's nice to meet you. Sorry for the intrusion." she said concisely. Which made Yasmin smile. "I'm Yasmin Matar, it's nice to meet you... want an apple." she offered the girl a piece of fruit which she accepted. Still the prepubescent girl looked the pink haired young woman over and scoffed internally crossing her arms over her chest without thinking about it, in reaction to the appearance of the rather buxom young woman. As such it would appear she had taken an immediate dislike to Yasmin, though it wasn't intentional at all. 'She can't be his training partner, I won't allow it.' she thought with all the impetuousness of a child. Yasmin would see this change in stance and backed away a bit giving the small girl space. It would be Nasira took look over at the girl her brows drawing together but the girl was too busy facing Yasmin to see her immediately. Still, looking at this girl gave Nasira a weird sensation... like she was similar for some reason.
