Belle wanted to jump and dance around when he said he would come by. She was getting somewhere now, she could help him if he needed it. Baby steps Belle, baby steps she told herself. She should not get too ahead of the situation. That could get her hopes up and scare him off. The exact opposite of what she wanted. By she was making progress and that meant something. Belle stood up a little straighter now and her head was up as well instead of cocked to the side like how it was. "That's wonderful to hear. I'm there from dawn to dusk and sometimes a little afterwards. So stop by whenever you can." She told him, hopefully she did not come off too cheery of excited. Belle needed to at least appear calm, cool, and collected. Even if she was not. Belle took a step in the direction to the southern end of Termina. As she was walking though, she turned back to look at Mystery, "Have good night." She told him politely. Belle turned left, then right, the right again, and then left again before getting to her street. The houses here was a decent size and were mainly for the middle class population of Termina, and they may not be glamorous but she loved the house all the same. Belle headed up the front steps before opening the front door and shutting it behind her.

Mystery gave a small wave to Belle, questioning what he should do. She seemed excited when he mentioned coming by tomorrow, as shown through her telling him when she would be there. Maybe he could humor her a bit, it's not like he had much else going on in his life, something new might be worth his time. He watched her leave, and then his eyes went back to scanning the area, he had spent a while talking to belle, so he had no idea who might be in the immediate area. After careful looking, he determined there was no one around. It seemed like a good time to head back to his home. He walked towards what people would consider 'the poor side'. Sure he could use his tricks to make some money, sell his advice about magic, or could mentor others for a fee, and he did so sometimes. It's just it was the place where he could stay unknown, and he spends most of his money on travel costs.

It was dawn like usual when Belle woke up, well, almost dawn. The pastel colors of sunlight were appearing in the sky. She loved to see it every morning. She was wearing the same type of dress she was wearing yesterday, only a different color. Green this time. She unlocked the door to the store and entered. It was a little fabric shop, with everything else mixed in like books, and antiques, but those were towards the back of the store. She removed her hood when she shut the door behind her. Belle was anxious to meet with Mystery again. Maybe he would be a bit less vague this time. Belle went to the back rooms of the store where she worked. There was a small desk there with piles of paperwork and a large window that allowed light to come inside. However, since there was not always enough, she lit the candles as well.
(Sorry, was busy)

Mystery had spent the better part of the morning deciding what he was going to do. He sat on a small chair in his home, not realizing he had been sitting there for hours. Last night he had came home and immediately gone to bed without thinking on this, which now he regretted. It was dawn, Belle would surely be at the shop right now if he left, but he could also sneak away at the same time. Not like she would be able to stop him at this point. It would be rude to not show up like he promised, which was one of the big reasons he didn't want to just leave without looking back. What possessed him to make such a promise anyways? He wouldn't have any regrets leaving if he had just kept his mouth shut and left. He finally came to the conclusion that he would pack up his home, go talk to her and promptly leave this area. He quickly got together his traveling clothes, which was what he used to wear on a day to day basis at home. It was a black shirt that clung to his side, black pants that covered down to his shins and a blue and purple robe with a hood-the gold and white accents were his favorite part-that to the untrained eye just looked like something to keep the weather off. He quietly used a bit of magic to change the colors of them to brown from the shirt and pants and black for his cloak. He quickly gathered the remainder of his money, a pair of clothes he can wear when he arrived at a new place, and a few items he always kept with him. He placed the smaller items in with his artifact along with his money, and for his clothes, he grabbed a slightly larger pack to carry them on a belt he slipped on.

(k, I will try to not do a full wall of text this time. It makes me nervous when I have too big of posts)
Mystery sighed lightly, leaving the key on the doorstep to whoever decided they wanted to stay there. That was a total of a week he stayed somewhere, not the shortest amount of time, but far from the longest amount. He was hoping he would be able to stay here at least another week, that wouldn't be to hard to ask for a normal person. He shook his head, he had made his decision, so he wasn't about to change it due to sentimentality or the idea that he should be able to stay longer. He tried to decide where he would head off next, maybe back to the first town he had lived in after leaving his previous kingdom. It was a nice coastal town that would take some time to journey there, but he doubted anyone would really remember him. Smiling, he made the plan on how he would live in his old house, it was even smaller then this one, but he knew all of it's secrets. Mystery forced his feet to move forward, taking the path he had taken the night before to get to the shop Belle would be in. He didn't say a word the moment he opened the door, instead got an idea of his surroundings. He wondered how he never came to this shop before, if a new magic item would be anywhere, it would be among the antiques that were here.

Belle heard the door close and stood up from her desk. She blinked the sleep from her eyes and made her way out of the office. Sure enough there was someone there, and Belle did not recognize him until she stepped around a few shelves. Belle wanted to breathe a sigh of relief that Mystery actually came. However, she stopped herself and just walked towards him. "I'm glad you decided to show up." Belle greeted him and smiled. She blew a strand of hair out of her face and smiled again. Her hair was very thick and bothersome at times. Her mother said thick hair was a gift, but some days it felt like a curse. She motioned to the office she was in moments ago before adding, "Did you want to go in my office and talk? You seem like the type that would appreciate privacy." Belle had a slight mischievous look in her blue eyes. But she did not mean any harm whether he went inside the office or not.

Mystery turned his head back for a second, how long would he be 'trapped' if he decided to go back there? No matter, even if it took half the day, he could continue traveling through the night if he needed to. "Sure" He still had the question on if Belle was someone he could trust or not, but for now he would just go with what was happening. Worse case scenario, he would run or fight, not like it was anything new to him to do so. His mind wondered back to the idea that this might be a place he could find a new artifact, he could do a quick check as he was leaving, though he had his doubts that there would be one. After a week, he should have been able to sense some magic coming from here if there was one, most of the time anyways.

Belle said nothing at first, but turned around and made her way through the maze of things she always wanted to clean up. Every time she walked into this shop, Belle wanted to clean something. When she did, the mess seemed to come alive and move itself back a few days later. Of course, Belle just blamed that on her mother trying to hold on to everything. Belle held the door open for him to enter into her office. When he did go in, she followed and closed the door behind her. The light from outside was a bit stronger now and so she blew out the candles that flickered a tired little flame. Belle took a seat in her chair and motioned for him to sit down on a couch opposite from her. "If you don't mind me asking, when did you come to Termina? I'm good with remembering faces and your's does not seem too familiar." It was hard for her to only ask one question to Mystery, but she would have to manage to some way, shape, or form.

Mystery wasn't surprised when she said he wasn't familiar to her, he quietly sat down using this as in excuse to remain silent as he thought. She probably knew from the night before he doesn't get talking to people that much "This particular town? If so about a week ago" Seven days exactly, unless you count today. "You seem to take interest in other people" He glanced around the office, taking all the information he could about this place in. She didn't seem like a bad person, but she could also be hiding anything under the mess that was in the other room. Speaking of which, she seemed a bit young for someone to be running such a cluttered place, she must have had some way to accumulate all this stuff.

Thea listened intently as the elf girl spoke. She seems like a pretty closed up person when it came to talking to new people Thea was the same way. But today she could mix it up a little. It would they polite just to giver her her name "Yeah, they do. I wonder sometimes if they worry about something out here." She sighed and looked down at the the ground before back at the elf. She brightened up, "I'm Thea by the way." Wait, since when was Thea polite? She was rude to a lot of people. Thea has been banned from several places for her behavior and attitude, which to her is not surprising. Although, every time she thought about which places she was banned from, she could not help but smile. Especially at the fact that it made her mother angry or flustered. It seemed like she wants to giver her mother a hard time lately, and Thea has been keeping track of it. (Sorry, that's short) They should be worried, Imryael thought, but didn't voice her musings out loud. The elf-girl had quickly learned that speaking your true thoughts got you in more trouble than it was worth, so she simply allowed herself a small smirk. The human infront of her introduced herself as "Thea", so she supposed she should give herself a name as well. "Hello, Thea. You can call me Imryael. How long have you been sneaking into these woods?"

It was dawn. Alden forced himself out of bed and got dressed in his day to day clothes: a long-sleeved red tunic, dark red pants, and leather boots that are a bit too small. After he was done, he headed to the front door. When he put his hand on the doorknob, a deep-pitched voice took him by surprise. "Why were you awake so late at night, Alden?" It was his father. "I was practicing my telekinesis," Alden replied. He absolutley could not let his dad find out what Thea was doing last night. "You were awfully noisy. Are you sure that's all you were doing?" His dad pressed. 'Don't tell him, don't tell him,' Alden thought. "Why do you care?" Alden countered. He usually wasn't the kind of person who would back talk to his parents. "I gotta go," Alden said before his dad could reply. At that, he left. He had a long ways to go to reach his blacksmith shop, and the interruption sure didn't help if he was to make it there on time. He had to report there every day at 8:30 or earlier, unless he had a good excuse. His blacksmith shop happened to be across the street from Belle's shop, but they did not know each other. (Is it okay if i put that last part in?)

Speaking of which, she seemed a bit young for someone to be running such a cluttered place, she must have had some way to accumulate all this stuff. Belle nodded her head when he commented about her intrest in other people. She felt almost obligated to know everyone and their lives, but she did not persist like some people. "Yes, I guess I'm just curious." Belle shrugged. She always wanted to learn about people, places, ideas, anything really. By having connections with different people, she was sure to be able to do the things she wanted to. Belle had always dreamed of owning a different type of store. Maybe a tea shop, or book store, or even a clothing store. She hated working in the mess that was her mother's buisness. Belle plots to one day change the buisness completely when her mother passes. Even though it deserves not sound like the nicest thing to say, it was her dream. "I apologize for the mess. My mother I a collector of anything and everything. I bet she could get a decent sized pay load if she sold some of these things." Belle sighed, she hated the clutter. It made her feel trapped or closed in. She looked back at Mystery. "Anyway though, do you have family around here?"

"A collector? Any interesting items she has acquired over the years?" It wouldn't hurt to ask about it, not like she would be suspicious about that question. He really didn't take time to think about what he would say about his family, it wasn't like it was much of a secret to anyone he talked to "I have no family here, most of my family are either not in this kingdom, dead, or who knows where" For once that was pretty much all the truth, not a half truth or one that was morphed to mean something new. Sure he didn't go into great detail on who died, how they died, or exactly who they were, but that seemed like overkill anyways.

How long have you been sneaking into these woods?"Thea saw the smirk on the elf girl's face. She should say Imryael now, but that was besides the point. What was she thinking? That smirk seemed to come from the depths of her mind and it was hard not to question it but Thea didn't say anything about it. "I've been sneaking out here for..." she gave a thinking type to look with her eyebrows furrowed in thought. "Maybe three years? I was never allowed to go past Termina's city limits but when I did I was surprised to find woodland. I couldn't help myself from exploring." That was most of the truth. She decided not to add the part about her parents being aggravating, Imryael was still a stranger. "How many other elves are out here? I'm assuming you're not the only one." Thea asked. She wanted at least an estimate. That could give her a couple clues as a whether or not there was something worth exploring out here.

However, she found it odd that he spoke about their whereabouts like it was nothing thay concerned him. What made him think so? It was hard to tell, but she did not press on the matter. She just answered his question first. "I have seen her bring in some odd stones and intricate jewelry but you'd have to be more specific than that." Belle shrugged. He seemed keen on the subject. Perhaps he has lost something and was hoping to find it here. In this shop of mess and clutter that her family found was a treasure. Belle wanted to roll her eyes at the thought but did not, especially because there was someone else in the room.

Mystery wasn't sure how to make his question more specific, most of the time, artifacts came in all sorts of shapes, sizes and materials. One, like his old one, could look like someone made silver into a spider web, the one he currently had now was just a medium sized oval ruby pendant with a gold backing. He even heard of a sword that was an artifact. "Maybe something that seems out of place?" That was how he found out about his current artifact, he had heard from some workers that there was something that seemed off about the area. Of course sometimes any weird feeling, or something that seemed out of place came only during specific circumstances after a series of events happened.

Alden regretted going to work that morning. Buisness was very slow. VERY slow. Only one person came by their smithy, and that was to use the bathroom. 'I regret coming to work today...' Alden thought. 'No one has really come by today...maybe i can get away with a half hour of sleep or so.' At that, he put his head on his desk and fell asleep almost instantly. The night before had left him exauhsted. "Hey!" a loud voice growled. "Wake up, Alden!" It was his boss. "Huh?" Alden mumbled. "What time is it?" He asked. "Next time you fall asleep on the job, you're fired!" His boss threatened. 'So much for sleep,' Alden thought. After that little incident, Alden forced himself to stay awake. He definitely didn't want to get fired. That would ruin just about the rest of his life for multiple reasons. Even with his telekinetic powers, finding a good paying job was hard. He also would lose his upcoming paycheck. And he wouldn't be able to buy the house he had been saving up money for. Lastly, he really liked his job...just not when buisness is slow.

"Theres... A good number of us. Enough to keep our forest protected if need be." Imryael responded, surprised that she had been exploring for so long without coming a crossed any of the people from her village. The elf wanted to be as vague as possible- deciding to nix the fact that they had about as many elves as Termina had people. Her breed where more reclusive, preferring to stay deep within the woods instead of exploring the outskirts. Its why Imryael was one of the few elves who where considered a "Scout". She and a handful of others would explore and try to scare off any humans that where dangerous to the forest. Thea laughed a little at Imryael's comment about the people of Termina attacking. She did realize this was Termina right? The people there would be afraid of their own shadows if they stepped out of the city limits. Unless you were a guard. But everyone there seemed like a coward, always wanting to stay in their comfy homes and businesses. "I don't think you have a worry about Termina over running your people. The only ones who are actually brave enough would be the guards." Thea smiled, trying to imagine her father, the cowardly businessman, taking up arms and fighting the race. Who probably have intresting weapons of their own.

Belle bit her lip as she wracked her brain for any memory of something out of place. Even if it just had an odd color to it. She was about to answer that she can't think of anything until she could think of something. "Well, there is one thing. I don't know where my mother found it or if it was my brother but there is this really odd arrowhead. It's not made of obsidian like most, but something stronger. Almost like diamond. And it has more of a blue color to it." She told him as she stood up, looking in her office now for the arrowheads he remembered looking at about a week ago. She searched through drawers and even under the rug but she ended up finding it on her desk. The most obvious place. Belle held it up for him to look at. "Is this something you would be intrested in?"

(I think Imryael would def be a cat)
"Well, you never know what people would resort to when their scared," She pointed out, but still laughed. It wasn't as if they where scared of the humans attacking, oh no, it was more like the elves where scared of the humans killing the forest off. Imryael, still perched in the tree, slipped down landing only a few feet away from the other girl, her feet barely making a sound as it landed in the undergrowth. This girl fascinated her to no end.
