[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.]
