She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before stepping out from behind the large pole, her eyes meeting those of another Miqo'te, a male ... he smiled at her, and she turned around and walked right back out of the Quicksand and into the streets of Uld'ah, her face as red as a tomato.
Dammit... Why can't I ever just say Hi... They're not going to hurt you ... but what if they do? What if it's all just a trap! He could have knocked me out and dragged me back to his tribe and I would be doomed.... Doomed!
She gasped aloud, and looked around quickly, no one had heard her, no one even paid her any attention. She adjusted the thin framed glasses that rest atop her nose and moved to lean against a wall. She hated being so timid, so shy. How she longed for friends... but could not get passed that first step before her mind began to run wild.
She took another deep breath, and reached up to tighten the ribbons that held her twin ivory ponytails inplace, and stepped back into the Quicksand. She lifted her chin and peered around, the Miqo'te was gone, she had lost her chance with him... but there was plenty of potential friends around.
She sat down at a nearby table, folded her hands in her lap and looked around nervously, now if only she could get up the nerve to say "Hello".
