After waiting about an hour for the blacksmith to repair her sword, Cassidy decided to follow the slow trickle of villagers to just at the edge town to see what was going on; after several minutes of pushing through some very rude(and none too pleasant smelling) plebeians, she reached a small clearing inbetween the wooden buildings. In a circle empty of spectators were two kids, and judging by their clothes, they were obviously from Earth. That is, until she noticed they both had scorpion tails. Fairly intruiged, she decided to stick around during their performance to talk to them. Besides, she thought, maybe they're hungry, and I do have some money left over to spare for a meal. She noticed on the young man's face a bandage over one eye, and wondered if he had been attacked by someone, and following that train of thought, wondered how long they had been in Otherworld.
Maybe they need more than a good meal, she mused. It's been far too long since I saw someone from home. I wonder where they're from? During a quiet moment, she took a bright new silver and tossed it at the girl's feet, staring her in the eyes and motioning with her head that she would be waiting for them in a small bakery not too far away.
