Encre's POV

All of us had formed a plan. Fan out, spread out. Look wherever you can and group back together in three days. Yes, we had planned to split up every three days but when you have friends missing and a lot of ground to cover, you do what you can.

I wandered through the land in a northeast direction once the storm ends. I use my cat hearing to listen for any noises that could help me locate a friend or friends. Everything seems peaceful. I hold the heart locket of my necklace as I go. Anything could happen. I must be careful and will be sure to do so. I carefully enter a village, unaware of who lives here or what is going on. And what may happen.

I see humans and monsters run around. Many were dressed formally or seemed high-class. Many were eyeing me as I walked through the streets. Many girls ran past in maid or servant attire, as well as boys in butler or servant clothes. I could hear them compain or worry about tasks from their masters. I walk among all these folks, not finding any clues or signs of anyone familiar. But then, what I was looking for came right to me.

Someone bumped into me so quick and roughly that I got knocked to the ground.

"Oh shit! I am so sorry!"A voice says

A hand extends to me. I take it, getting lifted to my feet. I see this human maid dressed in warm colors, mostly pinks. She had bright red hair and ruby red eyes, one covered. She lifts it up, showing her legs and black boots.

"It's alright. What's the rush?"I ask

"I was given a list of tasks and have to meet my so-called master by noon. I have 9 tasks!"She says

"Would you like some help?"I ask

"Yes please!"She says

I hold her hand.

"Lead the way."I tell her

She smiles.

"What's your name?"She asks

"Encre."I say

She looks at me in shock.

"What?"I ask

"I am Rufous....."She says

I smile.

"Oh really?"I say

"Yes! One second I am polishing my anvil, the next I am here and told to get to work!"She says

"Or did you just get lost in Classique's eyes?"I tease

"For fuck's sake Encre! I do not get lost in his eyes! I get lost just looking at him! He is so sweet and cute that anyone would when falling for hi-MMPH!"He snaps, then covers his mouth once he realized what he was saying

"Oh, so you have fallen for him in that case?"I say

"Shut the fuck up!"He says

"OOoo! Language!"I chuckle
