Alistair hadn't been in Manta Carlos for long, but he already felt at home. The City had a MAGIC DISTRICT, why wouldn't he feel at home In all proper honesty he had no idea what half of the stuff being sold was, because he was raised strictly with Gaelic/Celtic Alchemy. His family were only crafters, not casters which was a rare occurrence.

He was in the town now, wandering in and out of various shops, touching things, looking at the various items and the footnotes floating above them. After looking at a peculiar plant root that (according to the web-chart that appeared over the bin) was nearly completely made of sulfur. He almost bought it since sulfur was useful in plenty of creations, then he saw the price. He didn't think twice about dropping it and walking out.

Alistair continued out of the shop and walked down the street. He had spent long enough in the district that many more notes were appearing, and above shops he had entered were large floating labels with lists of the items for sale. He was walking ad smiling through the crowds while reading the masses of notes surrounding him and not paying the slightest bit off attention where he was going.

If there was on thing that was recommended to Farren by the Academy, it was to invest in getting a portable laptop, for many reason rather than work ethnics. Whilst useful for educational work it would also expose the inexperienced girl towards to modern cultures. So she took off towards the city in search for a laptop. Farren would spend the better half aimlessly wandering, not really sure what she was supposed to be looking for.

must have been several hours till she found a store that sold the electronic application she was after. After what might have been an hour deciding, Farren purchased the device with the debit card that was set up for before she arrived on Mantra Carlos. One of the many things her last carer prepped her for to live away from her previous life. After an exchange of details for delivery Farren found herself onto the streets once more.

She brought out her mobile phone, sweeping through the menu to her notes and checking off her to-do list of the day. All while passing through the crowds, head down and unaware of her surroundings.

Moments later she collided with something, rather with someone. The bump was enough to knock the phone out her hand, it was then it happened. One second Farren was there, not even a second later she was laid on the floor arm outstretch with the phone in her hands. The space around where Farren previous was turned into a mirage, the air blurred followed by a short low frequency drone that faded away with the fizzled air.

Farren lightly sighed, "I have to be more careful." She scold herself.

After picking herself up the floor with a quick brush down, she turned to face the individual she walked into.

"I apologise, I-I was not watching where I was going." Her words felt a little rushed, mostly because she felt ashamed for not paying attention.

Alistair wasn't quite sure what happened. He was walking along the street, contemplating going into a store he visited earlier in the morning because he could see that there should still be plenty of fresh bread that tasted like whatever you had at your last meal when he felt a small thud and saw someone on the ground in front of him.

The thought of having oats and barley flavored bread still occupied his mind, so he was slow to piece together the scene in front of him. The uniform is what brought him back to reality. He hadn't seen many other students that morning, and he wanted to meet other classmates.

Alistair took a deep breath before speaking. This is not a good sign. if this happens in the future, bring ear protection. He is a walking ball of happy, playful, nonsense and shenanigans wrapped up in an over energetic irish-accented 18 year old.

"Are you okay? Did you fall? Did you walk into you? Did I walk into you? Are you from Starlight? What's your name? What grade are you in? What can you do? Can you do something? Or are you one of those rich normal people that come? Are you hurt? What are you doing?"

All during the onslaught of words and happiness and excitement, Alistair bent down and pulled the fallen victim to her feet. He took a much smaller breath and asked one final question in a more normal and quiet tone of voice.

"Wow you're pretty. Want to go have Oats and Barley flavored bread?"

If there was a list of reactions Farren could have written down, this was not one of them. Her gaze flickered between the movements of his mouth and his eyes. He was speaking very quickly, so it seemed important. At least what she could make out of the rush.

He paused briefly, presumable to take a breath. Farren felt she should come in, her lips parted slightly only to listen to the next question presented to her. It was much slower and concise, there was no mistaking the words he said.

It threw her off balance. "I... She began but fell short on her words. There was too many question to go through at once, was this a normal commodity among people? So instead of laboring herself through many answers she'll just give one.

"I could go for something to eat, if that's what you're offering." She almost timidly replied.

It drawn onto her that he was asking if she was from Starlight, looking him over seem to conclude that he also was from the academy. If so it was of the first few interactions she'll have with a student.

Alistair nearly exploded in joy. He's been turned down by nearly every other student he met because of his over excitement.

"It's absolutely what I'm offering. Now, lets go come on. There should be between twelve to fourteen more loaves. Unless there has been a sharp increase or decline in sales."

In his statistical babbling, Alistair tugged the girls arm in the direction of the shop while staring at the numbers and calculations floating all about the area. He combined facts, crowd density, the rate of people entering and exiting the shop, and was lost in working out a more accurate estimate.

"I'm Alistair, with an 'I', what's your name?"

He smiled and tilted his head very slightly, his hair catching the light like a magazine advertisement.
