[Yuri didn’t know what to expect when he was patrolling the grasslands. It had been mainly a mission for monster subjugation to ensure they wouldn’t enter the cities while the mages were working on new Barrier Blastia to protect them. So some monsters here and there, until he gives a rather distinctive ‘woof’ from Repede letting Yuri know that he’s found something that requires immediate attention. From where he’s standing he can’t see anything, but he trusts his steed when it comes to matters of importance.
And when he finally approaches the object of interest he can see why Repede required his immediate attention. A girl, huh? First instinct is to bend down and place a hand right above her mouth to check her breathing. Yep, she’s alive. Then two fingers to her neck to ensure a strong pulse. She seems to be okay, but this is certainly an odd place to be dozing off. No injuries that he can note and nor does she seem to be in any mortal danger aside from the monsters that could attack her if they sensed her.
Now kneeling there, he watches the girl wondering how to deal with this situation. Should he carry her back to the city and to a bed, or what? But Repede seems to have other ideas when he rubs his cold nose against her and rouses her. Immediately, Yuri puts on a lop sided smile laughing a bit.]
There are better places to take a nap than on the ground, y’know.
[As he holds out a hand in case she needs help getting up.]
did someone say 'crossover shipping trash' that's us
[Lucina stirs when she feels something cold against her face. She wasn't sure what to expect when she opened her eyes, but being nudged awake by a dog in the middle of a field wasn't it. It looked like the dog wasn't alone, either.]
[Even trying her best to search her memories, she couldn't seem to piece together how she got here. The last thing she could remember was being on a boat and then...nothing. While she knew her journey away from home would take her to new places, she hadn't expected to go so far so fast.]
[Still, she can't deny that there's something comforting about the place where she's woken up. The grass certainly seemed greener than the future she'd come from, and the cool breeze seemed refreshing.]
[She takes the stranger's hand with a smile. It was rather embarrassing, being found in such a vulnerable position, but somehow this person doesn't strike her as a threat.]
Thank you.
[And she pauses; now would be as good a time to gather information as any.]
Tell me, sir, would you happen to know where we are?
[Now pulling her up so she could stand it gives him the chance to observe her some more. Her uniform seems like that of a knight, but not quite like the knights here. Is she a guild member then? Probably from one that has a bit of money if they can look like high end knights. That tiara on her head also gets him a bit confused because usually only royalty would wear crowns (not that Estelle or Ioder wear them). Maybe she's high ranking in her guild. Wouldn't surprise him at all considering he's seen some customs he's seen in other guilds.
Also the 'sir' part. A little too stuffy and formal for him.]
You're just outside the new city Aurnion and can you please call me Yuri? 'Sir' is well... a little too much for me.
[She takes another good look at her rescuer. From what she could tell, he seemed pretty well outfitted, and his weapons were of high quality and in good condition. However, his clothes were unlike anything she'd seen before; they seemed slightly reminiscent of the myrmidons from Chon'sin, but lacking in any sort of defensive capabilities. She realized, if this world wasn't gripped by war, there was probably no need to pay special attention to such things.]
Thank you, s-Yuri. [She bites back the word. Princesses gonna princess.] You said that we were near a city called Aurnion, correct? May I ask what country this is?
[Yyyeaaaah she's definitely some sort of nobility, whether it's Union or Empire. Her speech, her mannerisms, all that are a dead giveaway though it doesn't appear she's trying to hide it so whatever. It doesn't offend him so why should he care at all? It's something he'll keep in the back of his mind, however, just in case. Never know when that kind of information will become useful in case things come to bite you in the ass.]
Yeah, it's newly built so not many people know about it. We're on Hypionia, though.
[Realistically, it was her choice and she knows she shouldn't be bothered by it, but it doesn't stop that last wave of homesickness from creeping over her. Whatever happened, she'd resist. That was the promise she'd made to herself when she'd decided to leave.]
[Lucina turns back towards the stranger. If he'd meant her ill will, he would have acted when she was sleeping. He seemed trustworthy; trustworthy enough to gain the companionship of a dog, anyway.]
I'm sorry to impose, but would it be possible for you to escort me to this "Aurnion." I can pay you, of course.
[She wasn't sure what currency this place used, but gold should be good anywhere, right?]
[The main reason he doesn't run the guild is because he turns down all their sources of income. The Cap'n would probably be yelling at him right now for turning down what's possibly a guild job that they could get paid, but he can't take money from a girl who appears to be very lost. He'd like to know how she ended up on Hypionia of all places, but he's not one to really judge with all the times he's woken up in jail.]
It's not too far from here so it'll take no time at all.
[And his dog gives a 'woof' as if affirming that.]
[She thought about resisting further, but given her current situation, it was probably a better idea to accept the stranger's offer. It seemed that there were kind people in this world, at least.]
My name is...[And another long pause. How should we answer?]
[She'd assumed the identity of Marth when she'd traveled back in time, but she'd had a reason then. She wasn't sure how far back she'd gone, and if the her of the past had already been born, it could've caused trouble.]
[Here, however, she was far from home. There was little chance somebody would recognize her name, and even less that someone would recognize her as the princess of Ylisse. Admittedly, she was attached to the name as well; it almost felt like a final keepsake from her parents.]
[She sure took some time to give him her name, but he could see those gears working in her head. Does she need to come up with an alias? If she's important he could see why -- it'd be like a case of Estelle all over again though she never came up with an alias she just tried to hide the fact she was a princess. But titles never mattered to him and probably never will so long as they aren't shoved in his face.]
Lucina, huh? [Sounds like a noble's name, but...]
Would Lucy be okay?
[Doesn't matter if it's okay, he'll probably just call her that. But now they're walking at a decent pace.]
We should be there in no time, that way you can rest up and get what you need. Since it's a place where the Union and Empire are, I'm sure you can get whatever connections you need there so it's perfect.
[Since he's still not really sure what side she's on. But at least it's not a hostile place.]
[She immediately cringes. It's not that she has a problem with the name, per se, but she wasn't quite used to being addressed so...casually. It was probably better to get used to it sooner rather than later.]
I suppose it's not a problem.
[And a small pause.]
In return, may I ask your name?
[She catches onto that last part. On the one hand, she would do well to blend in the best that she could, and being ignorant essential information on the world would make her stick out like a sore thumb. On the other, she also needed to learn more about this world. Perhaps something more covert?]
This Aurnion seems to have an interesting history. Would you mind telling me more?
[Right, manners were never his forte, but he should probably give her his name just so they're on even ground. He wouldn't be surprised if she's heard of him, but even so there's people around who haven't heard the infamous legends of Yuri Lowell, and he kind of likes it that way.]
Yuri, Yuri Lowell.
[But her response elicits a moment of unguarded apprehension on his face before turning back into his usual countenance. Aurnion is brand new, but he's still going to give her a bit of the benefit of the doubt before he starts questioning her hardcore.]
And yeah, Aurnion really doesn't have much of a history yet. Just got built thanks to people in both the Union and Empire working together. In a sense, it's like a neutral city, and sure hope it stays that way. Who knows how much we needed one...
[But now they've arrived, the people working hard still to continue building the city. However market places are slowly setting up (thanks to Fortune's Market) as well as more lodging. There's no bickering and there's an obvious sense of camaraderie amongst the people despite the fact that anyone could see that the people are of different views and different ranks. In a sense, it's truly a city of hope.]
