"Thank you, milord," Miyana says shyly, clearly not accustomed to such adulation.

"You made a good showing as well" she gives him a tired, but radiant smile, as she draws her damp red curls away from her eyes. She starts unbuckling her gauntlets, then, with a playful glint, she turns sideways and lifts her arms slightly "Can you get the straps?"

The Old Quarter of Specularum is a dense district of narrow cobbled streets and old stone buildings. The laundry hangs between the windows, and the scent of old bread and smoke mingles with the foulness of the trash heaps left to rot out on the street.

When she reaches the Street of Dreams, she realizes it would be more aptly named the ‘Street of Lost Dreams’. The weary and the desperate all gather there: beggars, peddlers with empty carts, thin, emaciated children, all sharing the space with rats darting from one street corner to the next.

There are voices haggling over crusts of bread, sounds of domestic dispute from the nearby buildings. As she passes the entrance of a run-down establishment, a Traladaran man with a patchy stubble and a few missing teeth leers at her:

"Looking for work, sweetheart?"
OOC:
There is no sign from Petra here. Or Of her, or any of the three, for that matter.

Boudica looks at the poverty and suffering in this, the supposed street of dreams. She does not fail to notice that the majority of those she sees here are Traladaran, either. Petra would be sad. Indeed, she thinks to herself, I had thought of buying the Three Rivers Tavern and setting up a shrine to the Three. But perhaps Petra would prefer I come here and set up a mission, serving the poor and infirm. Some day...

When the sketchy man asks her if she is looking for work, she looks at him suspiciously and moves on. Having nothing else to do, she wanders a bit more, until she decides to be of some good. As she walks, she approaches sick or injured children whenever she sees them and offers to heal them. Once she has used all three of her spells for the day to cast Cure Light Wounds, she sighs in sadness once more, knowing that she has done so little to reverse the suffering of this community. Nevertheless, it is all she can do today, so she returns to find out how her friends have fared in the tourney.

Will assists with the straps, and remarks, We’ve met before, haven’t we.. His remark inflected as more a confident statement than a question.

"I'm sorry, I don't recall" She takes off her arm guards, then the chest piece, the tunic underneath so damp with sweat it clings to her body "Where at, exactly?"

Miyana says:
"Miyana will disengage herself as gratefully as possible from her fans, taking a few moments to congratulate Thea on her victory. "Though I'm sad that Will didn't win, I am glad that it was a victory for the 'weaker' sex!"
Thea nodded in agreement "Thank you. I only wish I could have seen you compete" she congratulates her graciously, and then raises an eyebrow "Wait. You two know each other?"

Miyana nods. "We are adventuring companions."

"Oh, that's rather exciting. I always wanted to travel beyond the walls of this city" she says wistfully "Is that where you learned to shoot like that?"
Jul 30, 2025 11:50 pm
Miyana smiles shyly. "Practice, mostly. I get plenty of it in the adventuring lifestyle."

"That sounds exciting. And dangerous" there is a slight hesitation in her eyes as she considers something, but then sighs softly "Anyways. It was nice meeting you all. I guess I better get going and change out of this armor..."

For a moment, Miyana is quiet, but then calls out to Thea. "We could always use a good swordarm."

"My uncle is NOT going to like it" she runs her fingers through her still-damp red hair. "But… he wasn’t thrilled about me entering the tournament either." She lets out a soft breath, before her lips curve into a smile. She has already made her decision "I’ll be happy to join you, if you'll have me. But I’d like to meet the rest of your group first. See what kind of company I’ll be keeping"
