[occulthymns]

[Euri isn't entirely sure what happened. One moment she was out in the forest, gathering some herbs for another batch of potions for her mother. She had managed to climb up one of the smaller giant mushrooms in other to gather some rare hanging dragon's breath, when everything suddenly changed. That mushroom changed into a metal street light, and all the trees had become huge, ugly brick buildings. From green to... greys and browns.

With a squeak of surprise she lets go of the street light, landing very unceremoniously onto the sidewalk and the contents of her basket ending up scattered all over. The only not completely terrible thing about her change in situations is that it's late evening and the street looks empty, so it seems no one saw any of that.

Several choice swears later Euri is pushing herself to her feet, glancing about thoroughly confused. What the fuck? She stays a deer in headlights for several minutes before she decides to do the first thing that comes to mind, and that is awkwardly moving to gather up her basket and its spilled contents.]

[For a split second Euri tenses, but an arm around the shoulder is fairly benign in terms of touching and it does make her feel a bit better... so she'll relax.]

Mm, you curse the branch into being able to fly. It's a really hard curse to control, though, so it takes a lot of work to do right.

[cachinnate]

[...oh, curse means... something completely different for her then ffff]

Hm... that's relatively simple magic for all the witches I've known... [Strange!!!]

[occulthymns]

[And it's a curse she has no hope of ever casting, so she frowns.]

Lucky them.

[cachinnate]

[Oh... ahahalsdkjf peers at her]

You sound bitter, darling.

[occulthymns]

[She's pointedly not looking at him.]

I'm not!

[cachinnate]

Are you sure~?

[occulthymns]

[She gives him a firm nod!!]

[cachinnate]

As you please, darling. [Huhuhuhu] Perhaps Henry can give you a tip how to do it easier then cursing it... [('8]

[occulthymns]

Yeah right! I don't need help with my magic!

[cachinnate]

[Cackling alksjdfj]

Alright, dear. If you say so~

[occulthymns]

That's right, I do say so. [Scowlllll.]

[cachinnate]

[Bends towards her a little, squeezing her shoulder and murmuring: ]

It's okay to ask for help from someone who knows more, dear.

[occulthymns]

[She's going to start leaning away from him.]

I don't need help with my magic. It's perfectly fine.

[cachinnate]

[Cackles]

You're still young, you have a lot to learn, I'm sure~

[occulthymns]

I don't! We're discussing something else now!

[cachinnate]

[Huu, the pride of the young!!!!]

As you wish, my dear. [Except they're... here lskjdf coming out on the docks where the crowds are almost entirely Scruffy People, carrying shit, building shit, helping the couple of passenger ships with luggage. Lots of stuff]

[There is the river Hull over the piers and stretched out in either direction, where there are a number of boats doing their thing, and then off to the right is the airship yard where... actually much of the activity is the same as around the boats... except with... airships lkdfj]

[Ran pauses where they are, scanning the crowds]

[occulthymns]

[Fortunately their surroundings are distracting her again, making her uncomfortable. This is definitely a human city - she doesn't see a single tree anywhere, it's all ugly buildings and metal and brick. The ships and airships being built look imposing even though they aren't finished, and it's noisy as hell so once again she's edging a bit closer to Ran and grabbing onto his shirt. She really doesn't want to get lost here.]

... We're not going to be here long, right?

[cachinnate]

[AWWW CUTIE??? Rubs her arm, com... forting...???]

Only as long as it takes you to talk to him. Are you alright, my dear...?

[occulthymns]

[She turns a very violent shade of red and looks away.]

I'm fine! I just don't want to get separated!

[cachinnate]

[...oh god she's so cute lasjdlfkjaskjdf Squeezing~~~]

Don't worry, dear, I've got my eye on you~ [But oh hey, he's spotted the guy so... staring after him so he doesn't lose track of him! He won't move until Euri seems a little... less nervous though fff]

[occulthymns]

[She sighs audibly, nodding and leaning a bit against him.]

Okay.

[cachinnate]

You'll be alright, my dear. Come on, I see him...~

[Nudging her a little to the right and they're off into the crowd!!!]

[occulthymns]

[She nods and will follow him! She's still occasionally glancing around, but ultimately keeping her eyes on him.]

[cachinnate]

[Good good, he's still following Henry with his eyes and they have to make a couple quick switches in direction before they get through and... this guy is sandy blond, something like six foot, a touch on the burly side of things. Beardy. And he... spots them pretty quickly, eyeing Euri for a long moment before grimacing a little at Ran APPARENTLY HE DOES NOT APPRECIATE RAN APPROACHING HIM ALSKJDFLKJ but he does his best to smile at Euri when they stop in front of him]

[Probably the reason for his distaste is fairly obvious though because Ran suddenly lets Euri go to catch the man by the jaw and kiss both his cheeks, grinning down at him]

Henry dear, my friend wants to talk to you about magic~ [Aaaand then he's stepping aside, gesturing for Euri to explain ('8]

[occulthymns]

[Euri stumbles, but manages to catch herself quickly enough. She's staring a bit, automatically assuming this guy and Ran must be friends (because why else would Ran be that affectionate??).

.... It is kind of weird seeing a strange-looking guy like Ran act like that, though, but after a few more seconds she blinks and nods.]

Oh! Right - um - [And then she launches into a very longwinded explanation at how this obviously isn't Fuggum but there are fairies and Witches here apparently and how she was climbing a mushroom before suddenly being here and she's never seen a human city like this and Ran's been very accommodating but she'd really prefer going home now thanks.]
