Aleth took a bite out of her piece of the cake, she hadn't had something this good for a long while! It was absolutely delicious, she needed to remind herself to some treats every-now-and-then. Maybe it was because of the people around her that made it so good. Not sure which, she felt a little sad that the kid didn't get to have any.
"Can I save some for the girl when she wakes up?" she asked, looking at no one in particular.

"Of course." He ate his piece of cake, he'd had it before. It was still as delicious as ever. "So, Aleth, what are you doing in Pherae?" said Ralph. He turned his face to her voice, cause some people found it weird when he didn't look at them while talking.

"Me? I'm the type that enjoys to travel." Aleth said, trying to wrap up a piece of cake. "It was really by coincidence that I ended up here. Whatever it takes to get away from my parents."
"So Ralph, what do you do for a living?" she asked finally finishing wrapping up the cake in a clean cloth.

"Err... I do community services. It's volunteer work, so I don't get paid. Bill here keeps me going, I suppose I must, since normal working for pay requires sight." He looked a bit sad when he mentioned that.

"Heh, I wish I can willingly do community service, but just helping others around the any location becomes an inescapable habit at times. I mean it makes me really happy to see the smiles of others, but there are time when you do too much volunteer work...Still, who says normal requires sight? You're able to take care of yourself without it, so I'm sure someone would hire another for their skills!" Aleth replied, she knew a few people that got paid for working even with their disability. Mostly herself, even so, inside she believed that Ralph could do it too.
"If anything I'll hire you just to travel and prove people wrong." that time she half joked, but she would if things come to that.

"Why would I care about getting a normal job?" Ralph didn't have the heart to say that his 'community service' was stealing gold from a local tax collector (that forced the people to pay extra for his own benefit), and returning it to the people around town. "The people here are thankful of my services, but..." He thought of the last thing he heard before he went blind. Your father is still alive, however, you won't recognize him. You will find him someday... "I must leave Pherae sometime... but, I would like to know more about the girl upstairs before I go."

“Who does that man think he is? He dares to mess with my bar. My Bar! So we come all the way out here for what? Me to yell at him for five minutes, it did not even take that long. Now, the ale is off to the shop with a carriage and guards. Stupid cheating…didn’t even get a good rant…or the rant I was hoping for…stupid bugger…” The cleric began to mumble off as she pushed into the pastry shop. Personally, she found these things to be a colossal waste of her time, but when money is involved, Alcibie always wins.

Rayl kept himself busy with the cake while the two spoke, as he'd rather not get too indepth in their conversation, for while he wanted to stay and chat: he had to return to Castle Pherae. And so, upon finishing the delicious cake, he slowly rose to his feet, bowing his head for a moment in a gesture of gratitude," Thank you for the delicious cake Sirs Bill and Ralph, I'll certainly be dropping in to buy some more when I'm in the area. However, I must be off now: the duty of a Knight is never done. Aleth..." He placed a hand on her shoulder, a smile on his face," It's been great seeing you."
And so Rayl made his leave of them, exiting out and into the main room of the Bakery Shop, and that's when the color drained from his face upon sight of the purple haired woman...ok, maybe she hadn't noticed him...just...back up the stairs slowly and casually...
...and so Rayl returned to the others, a worried look upon his face whic he so dearly tried to conceal from them," On second thought: I shall stay for a little while longer until the girl recovers. I may have to fill a report on this, so I'll need to know the end results."
Yeah, that's right. Play it cool Rayl, and hope she isn't allowed up here...heh...hey, I wonder what Elibe's up to?
Meanwhile, the aforementioned horse was grazing upon a small patch of grass, a man laying besides it, knocked out for foolishly attempting to saddle up and take off on the steed.

"Aww, c'mon, Alice, it's not that big a deal." Night commented as he walked in behind her, a little girl riding on his shoulders. "We got the shipment, didn't we? And you didn't have to come. I coulda got it back to the tavern by myself." he pointed out, grinning. "Ok, Lilly," he said, turning his head to look at the little girl on his shoulders, "What do you want?"

"Are you okay, Rayl? I better go to the customers, I work here a little too." Ralph returned to the front room where they had various pastries on display. He heard a family inside the bakery, a woman mumbling, a carefree old man, or was he young? It was hard to tell. "That Rayl is a strange one..." he said out loud on accident. "What can I get for you two?" he said, oblivious to the little girl that had eluded his senses, for she had not walked in or talked once yet.

(OC- The kid is an NPC right now since ALT's are not allowed yet)
Alcibie paused mid rant when the blind guy showed up. Her first question was to ask what the heck a blind guy was doing behind the counter, but then she heard something crazy, Rayl’s name. She shook herself she must have been getting nostalgic again. The Cleric had sworn she had seen Jya a week ago and know she was hearing about Rayl. Soon she would be seeing Persephone flying around. The guy probably said Ray or Ral or maybe Ralph because honestly who named their kid Rayl.
“Do you know what cake you want Lilly?” Alcibie asked smiling widely because honestly if Jya and Myra had her wrapped around their fingers her against her own kid she was doomed. The small child leaned over as if conspiring with her mother and whispered in her ear while gesturing towards the counter.
“Can I get this one please?” Alcibie said while giggling as the small girl on Night’s shoulders nodded repeatedly while covering her own mouth. Alcibie smiled and freely handed over the money in exchange for the treat.
(OC- If anyone forgot, this is big Alcibie gave someone money, to pay for something without barganing or anything!)

Aleth frowned, Rayl was definitely hiding something, but if he won't tell, she won't pry. Sitting up, she stretched for a start and felt like helping out.
"I'm going to head out, to see if I can get some work around town, but if you can, try to get me some work at your place." Aleth half-joked, she didn't have anywhere to go or anything for that matter. Without another word, she rushed down the stairs and wanted to tell Ralph to see him later, before she looked straight into a man she sure wished wasn't alive.
"You, you're that guy who..." Aleth choked. "Great first I meet up with Rayl and now this guy...Night?" "So like want to see your old employer, hes upstairs." Aleth said motioning in the direction of the way she came from. "Who are those kids?"

Rayl paced back and forth in the tiny room, occasionally looking back at the resting gil they had recovered, however as of right now, she was the least of the knight's wories now that she was safe: He now had his own problems to deal with. Should he just go downstairs and face the music? Or should he jump out the window, suffer a broken leg, then drga himself to his horse before they got him...
Rayl stepped a bit closer to the window, looking out it for awhile, taking a deep breath, and...
turned around and drew his sword before opening the door and heading downstairs, although before entering the main room, he sheathed the weapon, and turned to all of those in the room, a smile on his face, concealing his nervousness," Well now, I must be heading off and back to Castle Pherae. Aleth, it's been great to see you again, and if you ever need anything: just ask." With this, he proceeded past Alcibie and Night ( two faces he'd always reconize), and ever so casually shifted on out ye olde door...
...but once out of sight, he ran, mounted up on his trusted steed, and prepared to ride off. Today had enough bad moments as it was...Bandits, injured citizens, and now the scariest woman on earth...he'd rather face dragons and world doom (again) than be here as of this moment.
(Rayl is the following:
A Mediphobe: Fear of Medical treatment save for Vulneraries. A Dracophobe: Fear of Dragons. An Alciphobe: Fear of Alcibie)

Night grinned widely. "Hi, Aleth!" he greeted cheerfully. "Funny meeting you here? Boss's here too, thats great! Oh, this?" He looked back at the little girl on his shoulders, then back at Aleth. "This is my little girl. Say hello, Lilly." he urged, sliding the child off his shoulders to set her on the ground. She just hid behind his leg. "Aww, come on..." he urged. "Well, if your sure...Oh, and this is Alice...Call her Alcibie, though, or she'll skin yah." he said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Night didn't miss a familiar face trying to escape, either. "One sec, Alice, gotta take care of something!" he shouted, bursting out the door. "BOSS!" he shouted. "BOOOOSSSSSSS!" And once again, Night demonstrated his amazing ability to run like a charging rhinocerous. Poor Rayl...

Ralph counted the money, it was the exact amount for one of the cakes, which he took out from his memory and gave it to the woman. As his new friends came downstairs it seemed that they knew the couple, and that there was a little girl he hadn't noticed. Regardless, as the man, who they called Night, ran out of the door after Rayl, four muscular men came into the bakery. The one leading them stopped when he saw Ralph, "YOU!" he said. "You're that guy from last night! I'm gonna destroy you for giving me this scar!" The man had a long diagonal scar across his chest, the same place where Ralph had attacked the bandit who had attacked Sakura.
