..."Welcome!" He began.
Yee_rell the humble inspected the well-dressed gentleman, momentarily forgetting her presence in the port. "What a kind person!" she thought to herself.
Responding with a gentle smile back she said: "Oh, thank you for the- ", momentarily stopping midsentence she pondered and looked around.
"Excuse me..." She uttered in a quick fashion. "I meant to say thank you for the warm welcome but something caught my attention". said Yee_rell while looking around aimlessly.
They both shared a small laugh and the well-dressed gentleman said: "What brings you to this lovely city? Adventure? Wealth? Or some grand aspirations to elevate your place in society?”
Looking around once more at all the numerous shops, stalls and wares she silently said: "To be honest... I do not really know why I am here".
Time seem to have stopped. Remembering her past she looked at the gentleman with a serious yet saddened gaze.
"I guess I simply want a new start, somewhere to feel... at ease" she said.
Looking hopeful she asked the man: "...could you perhaps lead me in the right direction? I would be forever thankful" followed with another gentle smile.
