"Wow. I didn't expect to see the general himself, on my first time here no less!"

•She steps away from the table, giving the general a courteous bow and a wave, before making her way to other parts of the Luofu.

"J-Jing Yuan?"

•Her mouth hangs agape for a few seconds, before she shuts it close.

"As in, one of the General-Arbiters of the Xianzhou?"

•'𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵...𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴...'

•She relaxes and smiles softly as she stands, the man's carefree attitude having a calming effect on her.

"If you say so. I'll be on my way then! It's a pleasure to meet you, and again, thank you sir...?"

•she raises a hand for him to shake, and as an offer to introduce himself to her.

"Reports?"

•Her eyes move downwards, somehow never noticing the sort of papers the man is working on. A sheepish smile crawls up to her face.

"Then I'm doubly sorry sir. You must be someone pretty important in the Luofu's army."

"Huh...pretty straightforward."

•𝘈 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨, her mind supplies unhelpfully. 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘭𝘢𝘳 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘪𝘨 𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳.

"Okay, thanks! I shouldn't bother you for longer. You seem pretty busy with your work."

"Hm...well...I'm not too sure either. I came to sightsee but my guide ran off to who knows where."

•A sigh escapes her lips.

"Er...do you mind giving me a few recommendations?"

•Now that she's here, she doesn't exactly know what to ask. 𝘈 𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥𝘯'𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘰𝘯𝘦, she supposes.

"Would it be okay if I sit here for a little while? This is my first time here and I'm a little lost."

•Cerise watches the man from afar, her gaze filled with intrigue. There's just... something about the man that feels familiar to her. Not wanting the thought to overwhelm her tonight, she approaches.

"Pardon me and greetings to you, sir! Mind if we talk?"
