Welcome to Gaia! ::

General Sidas finished his tea, and unlike many high ranks in the Earth Kingdom, he bowed to his waiter as they took his teacup and left. He was not wearing his general's uniform, and he had stolen a little makeup to cover up the scars on his face. They also had the added effect of making his skin just a little bit lighter. He hid a considerable tip under the plate of tea he had been drinking from before he found his way out of the door and into the streets.

Sidas looked up. "Er, Kalinda?" He asked, confused. "What in the name of the Hundred Little Gods do you think you're doing down here?" He asked in a hushed voice. Several people were already looking at the two of them, and Sidas internally groaned, knowing that he would have to create another persona to actually get around this place. "You could be harassed around here, you know." Sidas's rough, dark peasant clothing clashed horribly with her royal robes against the gray expanse of the massive inner wall.

Sidas groaned. Certainly, now there was no hope of salvaging this look. Already a small crowd of people were staring at Kalinda and Sidas, having few chances to see a noble. "Well, that's wonderful!" He managed to get out. "The children will have fun with that." Sidas's eyes slid over to the falcon. "Me? I used to live here, mind you, before the position opened up." He swatted at her finger, having referred to a death of a previous general. "Besides, who will deny me the right to come down here and order a tea from these poor people?" He tried not to look around him at the now slightly-larger crowd. "But at least I'm wearing something resembling their clothing." He pointed out before she could say anything to that. It was true, after all. Her bright robes were so out of place here that even a blind man could tell.

Sidas laughed. "I'm afraid it's much too late." He glanced around again. The crowd was making him uncomfortable - not just because they were in the Lower Ring, but because crowds did that to him in general. "Eh...would you like to head up to the Middle Ring and find a nice Tea Shop to enjoy tea in? I'm afraid the crowd here is beginning to make me paranoid." He grimaced, his thick eyebrows moving closer toward his eyes.

(( xD Yes, we do. ))

Sidas looked up into the sun and squinted to find the bird's form. He chuckled. "Well, then, let's make a fast escape. All of these people are making me nervous." He said, and he began to walk off into one of the streets leading to an inconspicuous tea shop in the Middle Ring that he frequented.

She glanced around and walked closely to Luo, not realizing it though. "...This place is so...yeah...shabby." She replied as some of the residents glanced up at her. it was odd seeing such a woman around those parts. She cringed slightly and walked faster.

Luo Agagisan glanced at Kikio, who was strangely walking close to him and cringing. He shook his head. "Being a Royal Guard, I'd though you would have learned how to keep your calm, especially in dangerous areas. Follow Jet's example and whistle. Or even better, listen to my music." He began playing a lively tune. The poor residents of the Lower Ring smiled and glanced at the travelers, and children danced around them in circles. "Want to hold my hand? We'll look more like a couple," he teased. He sighed and frowned when he realized Kikio was actually nervous. "Don't worry, you'll beat up anyone that tries to rob us, right?"
