“Ankaa, a lovely name for this time I suppose, not one I have ever heard before,” as she turned towards the city of Gomora and took a few skips away, pausing a moment to look back. “I like it,” just a short statement of fact as she turned back and began to skip away. The companionship of the woman actually lightened her heart more than she had expected, maybe it was still the surprise hitting her that this Ankaa had agreed to travel with her.
Her heart ached from missing her friends and those she called family, even her enemies were missed as they had, at the very least, given her someone to take her anger and frustration out on. It had been ages since she had been able to curl up with Mattius and talk, or be comforted by the warmth of another human’s body.
This girl, woman, Magii could not be her friend. Jasmin knew nothing about her. Well, she did know her name now, which was a start at least, though the chance of learning much else about the woman seemed pretty fruitless.
Gomora…that had been the name of the city she said they were headed towards. Jasmin had never heard of it before, never heard anything like it. The name seemed to ring of evil tones within it, and she was already guessing it was yet another city of scoundrels, thieves, and whores, and the whores being the best off out of them all. Hopefully they would not be staying for long. It was not like they would need to; they certainly had not stayed long in the last city.
“So what lies in Gomora that you want?” she asked casually, spinning about and skipping backwards to look at Ankaa with those curiosity-filled blue eyes of hers. She knew it showed clearly; didn’t even bother to hide it anymore. She was always curious about people, every aspect about them. It was simply a part of her nature, and one that always seemed to rule with her.
