Altar of Twilight We'll Finish What We Started

A shuffling and quiet voice grabbed the female's attention as her head shot up to look around. At first she saw no one around, but eventually, her eyes would rest on the figure of a man nearby. It did not appear that he saw her however, so was he just talking to himself? After a moment's hesitation, she would call out to announce her presence. It's not like she was on someone's territory so there was no need for her to worry about being caught. Perhaps the stranger lived around here and could tell her more.

Excuse me-- Ira waited until their eyes met so she knew she had the male's attention before approaching. I am traveling through this area with a companion, but perhaps you know more than we do. Do you live nearby?
