Posting Speed: Due to summer and busy lives, at the moment the posting speed is once a week AT LEAST, though anything faster is good.

Characters Involved: Gerda Zu, Ken Zu (NPC), Aura Thesin

Location: Currently near in the Downtown and Business District of Marn, but will be moving to a farm outside Shim soon.

Summary: Aura just watched the only person who she might consider a friend on this world die in a freak accident. Horrified by the sight, and scared for her own safety and life, Aura ran from the scene in utter distress. After many minutes of running with no destination in mind, she pauses in front of a doorway and contemplates giving up. Gerda Zu and her grandfather, Ken Zu, notice her distress and come to her aid. Ken Zu offers Aura a place at their farm to relax and perhaps work for a few days, and Aura has decided to accept.

I just had a thought, and figured I had better put it here.

I have a tendency to 'auto' certain small actions and assume the character I'm with will ascede to those actions. Something like:

Aura stopped and touched his arm as she did so, also bringing him to a halt.

I figure that most people, when walking alongside someone they know (or are getting to know), will stop, look where the other person is pointing, take an offered item (that's obviously not magical or dangerous in this setting). I find it's more difficult to create a proper flow if I have to wait on the other character's (obvious) reaction for my character to continue in her actions.

Of course, that being said, if your character would not stop, look, or take, feel free to let me know, and I can modify the post accordingly.

Hi Gerda,

Just thought I'd give a nudge and let you know it's been a week since my last post.

You're up. Hope you weren't expecting me to PM you every time I post! Cause I didn't this time!
