RiniKett

Rini tilted her head, looking back to the crowd and the stage before blinking and letting out a small, content sigh. "Sure...Ummm...Lead the way?" She asked, still unsure of how this was going to turn out. Rini looked back to the harbor and pondered, wondering if she would miss her boat.

Rini looked back at Serenity, still waiting on the male to answer her. "I'm from Ul'dah...Though I am in the process of having a house built in the Shroud...You've never a home besides work? Did you grow up to be an Arcanist then?" She asked, making small talk as she waited.

Rini continued to make her way down the dock before stopping and standing next to Scaith. Much shorter than most, Rini would tilt her head and look up to him quizzically with a soft smile. "Hello...Any chance that you know if the boat to Thanalan has come in or not?" she asked, her voice as bubblely and cheerful as ever. Her tail swished back and forth as she waited patiently, glancing back to ensure Serenity hadn't gotten lost. Suddenly, something came to mind as she would interject to add in a second question. "Also...Any chance you have seen a Hyur woman with green hair?"

Rini turned around to walk away when the woman spoke up. She turned her head slightly to look at her briefly before a smile curled her lips. "In that case...I don't mind at all...I would also like to find Tira...She's a close friend of mine...Or at least she has seemed to be lately." She stated before beginning to make her way around the event and to the docks. "Where do you come from? Do you live around here?" Rini questioned, assuming the woman would be following.

Rini blinked as she was suddenly tugged and dragged through the crowd. As they stopped, Rini blinked and let her hand fall to her side limply. She looked at her with a blank expression before looking back to see if she could see Tira. "It's okay...You haven't bother me...That was just rather abrupt." Rini turned back to Serenity and blinked. "Well...I should probably be getting back to the docks for my ship...I don't want to miss it like I did that one time...As for your day..You are free to do what you would like. I'm not big on owning people or anything...Not really me." She admitted quietly, still wondering if Tira got out safely.

Rini raised her left brow inquisitively as the woman stumbled on her words for a moment. "Serenity..." she kept her tone soft, clearly heard now that they were away from the crowd. "You don't have to relive it if it bothers you that badly...My childhood was spent homeless mostly. My tribe was...Well, let's just say my brother and I have been on our own for a very long time as well....But I've met a lot of nice people along the way...Like Tira here." She continued.

Rini waved her hand dismissively. " oh don't worry yourself. I know how it feels to be alone and it's not exactly fun..." She said regretfully. "What about your family?"

L'rinhi's gaze fixated on the horizon for a few moments, lost in thought. Her eyes would soon catch a glimpse of a man waving back to them from a distance. Rini smiled softly and waved nonchalantly back to Lloyd before turning to Tira and elbowing her side playfully. "Very cute Tira. I am glad that you don't have to...Well...Do whatever you would have had to with that other guy...The crowd here seems a bit..Touchy..." As Rini's ear caught Serenity's reply she dipped her head for a moment before clearing her throat. "I...Don't actually date..Sorry..Not something I'm very good at. Anyway, I do have your time though...Soooo..Tell us a bit about yourself."

Rini's eyes widened before blinking twice as Serenity took her by the hand. Her cheeks flushed from the touch and she swallowed nervously before smiling and giving the girl a nodding gesture. "Oh...Well...I mean..I.." The subject matter was starting to make her sweat, still not comfortable due to previous, recent circumstances. Just as Rini was going to pull her hand away she heard the word 'friends'. The young Miqo'te stared at the woman for a moment, her expression blank as her mind raced. Reluctantly, Rini squeezed her hand in return before letting it go with a another nod following. "Serenity was it? If you're worried about being by yourself out here I promise we won't leave you....I've spent most of the past year helping those I could...I don't plan on stopping that now." She said softly, slowly, trying to convey a peaceful tone. L'rinhi turned to Tira and nodded before walking toward the area mentioned and taking a seat on the ground.

I'd still like to meet you sometime!

Rini stuck her tongue out at Tira again, looking slightly annoyed but remained more playful than anything. She abruptly turned her attention to the miqo'te, almost forgetting that she was there for the time being. Rini's ears flickered again as her fingers began to drum against one another nervously. "I...Well...Didn't exactly 'mean' to win you...But..." She glanced around the crowd, noticing the men approaching. "I...Suppose it's for a good cause...I hope." She muttered her last words lowly as the proprietor met her with crossed arms. "Congratulations. I'm sure you three will have a lovely time, but before you do..." Rini turned to the voice but saw nothing, just two large Roegaden standing there silently. After a brief moment of awkwardness, Rini looked down to see a small Lalafell rubbing his fingers together, looking to her expectantly. L'rinhi's brow furrowed at the gesture, the previous conversion with the bartender coming to mind. "What's wrong? Have trouble hearing? I believe the bid ended at two thousand so please, if you would, give what is due." The small man said lowly, though a demand nevertheless. "What's due?" Rini retorted with a snarl. "What's due?! I just delivered over five cases of wine to your little event and didn't even get half of what I was owed." She spouted off, showing a side of her that rarely came out. The Lalafell's eyes widened as he began to stammer. "Miss...Kett?" Rini nodded in acknowledgement, reaching into her pocket and pulling out a familiar looking parchment. "Should we look over our contract? Specifically the payment part?" She added, attitude flaring. After a few awkward seconds passed he began to rub his hands together and smile. "Well then, I suppose we are all even here then. You have your girl and a little gil on the side and I have good quality..Err..Goods..Yes... You two enjoy your day." He said slyly, trying to smooth things over as Rini continued to glare down at him The little man motioned to the guards and hastily retreated into the crowd as Rini stared daggers into his back. After the group departed, she glanced back to her 'winnings' and gave out a soft sigh. "I...Am not really looking for a date." Rini stated honestly, her hands clasping together behind her back and leaning forward a bit. "But at least you aren't...." Her eyes wandered to a couple nearby that were invading into another contestant's personal space a bit -too- much. "Well...Like that.." She finished, starting to feel a bit better about her mistake. Her attention was grabbed by Tira in which she replied with a simple nod. "Yea...I think that would be for the best..." She looked back to Serenity and shrugged. "You don't have to follow me...You can go home...I don't believe these sort of things are right to begin with." She remarked boldly, but retained the soft spoken nature that was mostly drowned out by the crowed; nevertheless, her expression would reflect the same gentleness as her tone.

As L'rinhi watched the auctioneer's gesture her heart sunk. With her ears falling limp, Rini sighed, muttering lowly to herself. "Well...There goes any profit I was going to make." The young woman lifted her gaze as her heard the small voice. "Oh..Hi..I'm Rini..." She answered, disappointment in her voice. "What...Exactly did I win?" She asked, shooting a glare back at Tira and sticking out her tongue playfully.

Rini glanced back at Tira, her eyes widened as she realized what had just happened. Rini glanced around, the seconds seeming like hours as she waited for someone to outbid her.

L'rinhi's tail swayed from side to side as her eyes glazed over the sight. Her lips had sunk into a frown as she listened to the men and women bid on the woman like a piece of fresh meat. She hated these events. Many times before had she seen them and, while some actually had good taste, she did not have good experience with them in the past; there was even a point where she was pressured to hold on for donations for Wayfarers, but she held her ground on her beliefs. The annoyed, slightly angered, look faded into sympathy as the crowd mused and egged the girl on. Suddenly, Rini felt a rock peg her upside the back of her head. Her eyes widened from the shock as she wrapped her hands over her head and yipped. "Two thousand to the girl in white." Rini blinked awkwardly as she glanced back to see Tira. With a slightly playful scowl, Rini's eyes could bore a hole through her before looking to the stage, not realizing she had upped the bid.

"The agreed price was three thousand...This is barely fifthteen hundred." The large Roe gave the small miqo'te a shrug before picking up one of the crates and hoisting it over the counter. Rini, who looked quite irritated at this point, stared him down coldly as the soft clattering of her sandals tapped again the deck. As he reached back for another crate Rini swatted at the large hand. The roe looked up to meet her glare. "Hey...I'm just following what the boss tells me. He said fifthteen, you get fifthteen. If you have problems with payment go talk to him about it; I have work to do." The man replied with sigh, taking the box and stacking it with the rest. L'rinhi closed her eyes and calmed her nerves, trying to recollect herself. "You're right...Sorry." She apologized, her words returning to the soft, meek tone that her voice held. "Where would your employer be?" She asked in return. The Roe, who had now turned his back to her, lazily lifted a hand to point behind them with his thumb. As she turned her eyes fell upon the crowd and the stage and her ears flickered. "Thank you..." She replied regretfully as she began to make her way to the large group of people. As she waded through the crowd, realization struck her. "What does...His boss look like..." She stated to herself, feeling dumb and forgetful yet again. Suddenly, she heard the crowd erupt as she looked up to see a young girl standing on stage, looking nervous as the announcer introduced her.

Yes, but you should be able to download it ahead of time during the maintenance.

Just wondering if anyone was able to download yet. I'm getting an unable to check version error. Was wondering if this was because the patch isn't out yet or I have a technical issue.

*sighs* It's Eorzea Black Friday...

Hey no worries! I just wanted to make sure you were aware : ) Thank you for doing this for everyone. Wayfarer's will have event starting back in a bit and I'll let you know when we do.

The Frothley Fridays is still on the tumblr calender.

I'm getting together with my contacts to see if I can get help in running a concession booth for a bit for you. If I can't get anyone to assist me I would be happy to fill in helping wherever you need me.

I'd like to RP with both of you. : ) Rini loves meeting new people and while I might be in a scene with someone I never mind an extra walk up and a mixed conversation. You can see a bit about her in my wiki linked in my sig, still a wip, and if you would like to RP sometime please PM me anytime to see if I'm available or to schedule. P.S. This goes for anyone by the way if they want to RP with me. I don't mind new RPers either so don't be shy. : )

Ello! I'm just wondering if this could be a thing. I remember there being a Monk Linkshell, but I was wondering what was out there on the teaching and learning side. I don't know much about their lore, so my character and myself learning through roleplay would be sort of neat.
