She slowly walked to the gates, trying to hide her face a bit. She heard a voice, familiar one, call out "Who might you be, stranger?"

"C-cynthia, I come i-in peace, wishing f-for a place to s-sleep." Aphmau said.

Although she had a stutter she was not shy, her voice sounded a slightly different too, but so much so that she couldent be easily recognized.

Aphmau looked up slightly, seeing the blue-haired older man, she said "I d-do not w-wish h-harm to you."

The blue-haired man said "I well then, Cynthia, come in."

He opend the gate, escorting her to an open home, once she got there she thanked him and went inside. Setting her bag down, keeping the unfamiliar shield and sword on. They didn't feel natural on her back or in her hands, like the ones she had gained in the nether did.

Aphmau sat on the bed for a moment of two, thinking over her task. Her eyes wandered toward the door, and she got up. Looking back at the cozy room over her shoulder she opend the door and walked out.

She walked for a bit, reaching the main area she walked in, taking in her surroundings. She noticed it was lively here, so much energy in the air. She looked around, trying to find weaknesses in the walls, or other entering points.

She gave up after a bit, she ended up wandering until a blonde-haired, blue-eyed man came up to her, asking her name. Aphmau looked at him for a second then said "C-cynthia.. and yours?"

"Mines Garroth, nice name. Can I call you Cyn?" He replied, tilting his head slightly to the right.

"S-sure," Aphmau said

Garroth seemed to get a sheepish look as he asked, "If you dont mind me asking.. why do you have a stutter, are you shy?"

Aphmau looked a tad angry at the question but it faded slightly as she responded, "N-no! It's j-just past e-experiences."

He looked slightly embarrassed by the qestion he asked, "Sorry if I came off rude!"

She brushed it of, "I-it's fine."

Garroth tilted his head again, 'Damn,' Aphmau thought, 'He is a bit cute.. in a way.' He smiled, and said "My friend might like to meet you, his name is Laurance, I mean if you dont mind."

"Uh, s-sure. Where I-is he?" She asked.

"Probably at his post. Come on, lets go find him," And with that Garroth led the way to were Laurance usually is, Aphmau, or "Cyn" in tow.
