A pair of mismatched eyes snapped to peer askance as V'aleera canted her head only slightly to peer at the young man making quick way toward her. She regarded him with pursed lips and a stoic expression, content to silently await his approach. Hands held behind her back, spine stiff and straight, she turned on her heels to face him fully as he made the last steps of his approach.
"I am glad to see you found your way here, smith Gegenji." Her head tilted at a slight degree as she sized the boy up, "Little worse for wear, at that. No small blessing. The Brume is an oft confusing place to wander, even for those who call it home." She gestured around with an upturned palm, "Places such as this one, held tight to the bosom of Foundation, are not oft afforded the distinct and distinguished landmarks I am sure you have witnessed above. The grand cathedrals, the sprawling forums..." She frowned, "The heinous attack by dragon kind only worsened this state of being, I fear. Shoppes of note, famous, or infamous, houses of entertainment, elder boroughs and avenues distinguished by age and history; all look the same in the form of rubble."
Sighing, her shoulders shrugged in a small motion, "In any case, we are awaited within." Her gaze turned to the open door of the smithy, resting upon the sitting figure visible within, before returning to the lalafell at her side, "Please remain respectful of Master Dunois; speak only once I have introduced myself and you." She offered a small smile in a bald attempt at reassurance for the young man before entering a quick, efficient stride toward the entryway of the damaged shop.
Nose wrinkling at the fresh smell of metalwork, she came to a quick halt as she lead her companion to the edge of the blacksmith's threshold. Raising a hand in greeting, the young knight hailed the seated Elezen, "Master Dunois, we would beg your permission for entry!"
