Snippet #2620337

Karien bit her lip as she stood with her arms folded, taking a short break from watching the guards in the complex to blow a strand of hair out of her face only for it to land betweeen her eyes again. Sighing, she blew at it again and flicked her head, smiling happily as it went and rested to the side of her face. She turned her attention back to the guards again, this time catching some looking over at her and shifting their weapons in their hands. At that, Karien rolled her eyes and made a sharp right turn to walk away. She glanced back at them to see a few still watching her beforerolling her eyes again and not looking back afterwards.

"Well, they're no fun. Kind of losing hope that any guards in this place have more intelligence or personality than a prickly cactus. They're all the same. Except, unlike cacti, they don't look like they want hugs." Her lips formed another smile at her own conversation with herself and she ran a hand through her hair out of habit, "So... anything even remotely entertaining to do here would be great." It was to herself again, a bit more quiet but loud enough for it to be obvious that she was talking to herself. This was a habit too, developed from years of being on her own and usually having no one else to talk to. Some might think her crazy if they were to listen for a bit but really, she was sane enough... from her point of view anyway.

After a few minutes of just wandering and exploring the place, not yet going to far from where she'd left the train, Karien sighed and stopped to lean against an old wall. She decided this place, this Complex, gave off an air that seemed to suck her energy from her. Thankfully, she had a never-ending reservoir of energy she'd had from birth. Of course it was just a metaphor, but she thought of it as pretty much with her magyk being Vitality. Looking up at the unpleasant sky she bit her lip again, the thought of rain passing through her mind and a smile once again crossing her lips. Rain would be a blessing right now, she loved rain and lightning, and thunder storms. Cloudy weather was just her things as long as the clouds weren't made up of pollutants and gases that would mix with the water vapor to create acid rain... from what she knew it could be rather unpleasant.
