Zeora would be wandering the path going south of Plegia. With the quiet breeze and rustling leaves of the trees she would hear someone whistling from a distance. "Hm? I wonder who's going towards Plegia" she would walk towards the whistling.

There walking the path in her direction would be man wearing a trickster outfit. He would keep whistling while observing his surroundings. He would notice the girl walking towards him. He would smirk slightlyas he would stop walking blocking her path.

Zeora as well would have stopped walking now standing in front of the trickster. "H-hello Mr.Trickster! Heading towards Plegia?" She would have asked curiously while smiling softly.

'Mmm she seems nice...Maybe she won't be a pickpocket victim this time' he would have thought to himself and then responded "ahh yes. I'm going to meet someone. The names Raven ma'am." He would have introduce himself while tipping his hat a bit. "And you are?"

"Where are my manners! My name is Zeora Lapar. Pleasure to meet you Raven" she would bow slightly. 'Hmm surely he's a nice trickster..I should've been pickpocketed by now' she would be observing the trickster in front of her while thinking. "You're a trickster I'm sure you entertain with your tricks. May you be so kind to show me one?" She would have asked sweetly while smiling.

'Someone who enjoys tricks! I like her so far!' He would give her a big smile "Of course! I know many tricks in the book!"he would check his bag to see which trick to use on her. 'Now which will be best to entertain her. W-wait this will do!' He would take out a pouch filled with sweets there will be a name stitched to it saying Lumara. Raven would hold out the pouch. "Put it in ya pocket!"

Zeora' s guard would go up as she would observe the pouch. "Are you sure this is just for entertainment or a trick" she would glare at the man a bit. 'One day of my journey and I'm already going to be a pickpocket victim...' she would hesitate to put the pouch in her pocket.

He would see her trembling a bit as he thought to himself 'Trust issues I see...', he would laugh "Have a little faith in me little lady! Now come give me a hug!" He would extend his arms expecting the hug, he would still hold his smile.

"Alright I trust you Mr.Trickster" she would then hug the trickster. Her eyes would widen a bit while thinking a bit 'I never hugged a stranger so easily before...why...especially not a Trickster!ohh I hope I won't be a victim!' She would gently push Raven away. As she looked up at him she would have let out a gasp.

Raven would see the smile on her face,it's that of a child would make when completely amazed. "Is this the pouch?" He would smile sweetly at her. Then bow and laugh as if this was a show.

"Amazing! Thank you Raven!" She would giggle slightly while clapping.

"The pleasure is all mine! Performing tricks is my speciality! And seeing smiles on people faces always makes it worth it!" He would keep smiling and thought to himself 'but the faces they make when their gold is missing is the best'. "Well little lady I should be heading to Plegia now. Someone is waiting for me." He would pat her head and start walking away. 'She is a good kid indeed. Lumara would've loved her.'

Zeora would smile and wave back. She would check all her pockets taking out the pouch that should have her gold in it but found the pouch with Lumara' name on it. 'Wait this isn't mine....wait hLmaoe has my gold!!' Her eyes would widen and run after the trickster. "Raven wait! I have your trick pouch!! Raven!"

"Hm?" Raven would turn back and see Zeora holding out a pouch. He would look down at the pouch in his hand and see Zeora' s name stitched onto it. "I'm sorry little lady!" He would take a few steps towards her shortening the path she had to let to catch up.

She would stop in front of him panting trying to catch her breath. She would exchange the pouch. "If I may ask who's this Lumara person'" she would look at him curiously.

"She's a special lady in my life. She healed my lonely heart." He would hold the pouch full of sweets and place it in his pockets. He again would start to walk away. 'Interesting creature indeed.' He would keep walking towards Plegia smiling widely.

Zeora would watch him take a few steps before starting her own journey again..'a special lady who healed his lonely heart. I would love to meet her one day.' She would put her gold pouch in her bag as she continued her journey. She would laugh softly thinking back to the trick.
