::Ierys laughed, genine highpitched giggles that shok her whole body, she wiped tears of laughter from her eyes as she calmed herself.:: "Im sorry, the school teacher bit was just so unexpected" ::she straigtened up, the last of her laughter reduced to a simple smile:: "Thank you, Lillith."

It's not a problem. But you're lucky I found you. As you've already seen, this city isn't the most welcoming. I guess it would be hard to believe if I told you it wasn't always like this.

::Ierys looked out of the window, a light rain was beigining to fall, and people hurried about in a skittish way, their heads bent low, few alone. Mothers ushered the children along keeping them close, always looking over their shoulder, as if waiting for something to start chasing them::
"It seems wrong, somehow"
::She found herself saying outloud, unaware that her thoughts became words::

Some call it terrorism, others are calling it a revolution. Either way, the entire city, and even the cities outside its reach are feeling the weight of this battle. I get the feeling this is more than a single battle for ground in the city. It might just become an event that will trigger others into mobilizing against their rulers. Its a sad time when Kings live in fear of their own people when they should be helping them. I can't exactly say the Regent didn't bring this on himself.

"A city at war with itself" ::Ierys shuddered and looked away from the window:: "No doubt there is no who is right and who is wrong...there never is outside of stories." ::She looked pleadingly at Lillith:: "Please, if i am to survive here I must know all that I can..."

(OOC: I like. I like a lot.)
::Lillith stares sadly out the window::
There have been so many wars that have ravaged this world, they're hard to keep track of anymore. What can I really tell you about this one? The Regent of Lindblum is a tyrant, the poor have formed a resistance, and now the rest of the world is holding its breath to see if the underdogs can overthrow a militant power that has ruled them with an iron fist for as long as anyone can remember. I've heard the other rulers are putting pressure on him to silence the threat and make an example of them. They're afraid that their subjects might start getting ideas.

"Absolute power corrupts absoltely, as they say" ::Ierys began to fiddle with her hands, flicking at her nails:: "Iv seen the end of this kind of situation before, its not a happy one. If someone could jst make a system that WORKS then few will want to beat it." ::she sighed and continued trying to lighten the mood:: "Thanks again, you didnt have to help me."

::Lillith shakes her head::
You're wrong. I did have to help you, because that is a system that works. You seem pretty wise for your young age. And I take it you don't have a place to stay?

[ooc: yay!!! one night you mean lol its 7am here =P] ::Ierys smiled:: " Its too bad nobody will keep by that, its human nature, we arent nice as a whole." ::She shook her head and laughed a little:: "I suppose I get it from my father, we see a lot, travelling as we do. But your right, I dont have a place to stay, or any money for that matter.." :she looks thoughful for a moment then looks up brightly:: "Know where a girl can get some decent work round here?"

"Chocobo à Gogo!" Exclaims the inn keeper, who has been casually eavesdropping on their whole conversation. Once he realizes he said that a little too loud, he quickly scurries away.

(OOC: You're right. I forgot. Looks like you beat our Canadian friends Galeon and Rinoa in terms of distance. ^_^)
::Lillith raises an eyebrow::
Oh so you want to work for your keep? As I mentioned I run a school. It's to the South of the Continent in a place called The Cape of Hope. It used to be an orphanage. Perhaps I could enroll you. You're... about fifteen am I right?
(OOC: Loci, as soon as I posted, you posted, and the first thing I saw was the Situation Devil, and the words "Chocobo Gogo". Are you trying to give me a heart attack?)

::Ierys looks at the inkeeper strangley:: "That sounds like a strip club so im not even going to ask." ::She turns to Lillith to answer her:: "I dont like taking more help than I need. I'm 16 but i've never really been schooled at all, I can read but......." ::her voice trailed off into an incoherent mumble::

Well then it's not charity. It's bare essentials. No one should go through life without some kind of education. And in return you can do some oddjobs around the house. We have a lot of younger students as well. And there's only three of us who aren't students to staff it... well four if you count my husband. But I don't have him on the payroll.
::She laughs::
Not to mention we usually have our hands full with our own son.

((She catches on quickly. And I prefer the term "situationally ambiguous")) ((but that would just confuse me as im talking about the Situation account.)) ::Ierys nods her head and smiles:: "Thank you. really, theres just one problem though, and its kind of embarressing to admit but...I cant write.." ::She blushed at the admission, having never had a need to write anything down, she had only ever learned to read,for the sake of street signs.::

::Lillith completely fails at hiding her suprise, but she recovers quickly::
Then I know the first thing I'm going to teach you.
::The Raven on her shoulder squawks in agreement::
Hush up Melanie. Don't embarass the poor girl.

::She winces slightly at Lilliths reaction and suddenly felt the need to justify this lack of knowledge:: "I kind of didnt need to write, I only ever needed to read so nobody ever showed me how to actually make the squiggly lines people call letters and-" ::Her eyes went wide as she realised she was making eratic hand motions and forced her hands to fold neatly in her lap, a red blush spreading across her cheeks anew::
