As the helpful stranger mentioned the Nightwatcher, memories surfaced that had been locked in her memory. She remembered Zaria's boredom and how she became anxious when things became too slow. She thrived off of excitement. So she went to the Nightwatcher. Her boon was adventure, and her bane was... "THAT'S IT!!! ZARIA WENT TO THE NIGHTWATCHER! She got what she wanted, but paid for it with these debilitating seizures. I didn't remember, until you mentioned Nightwatcher. Zaria has amnesia, and can only remember stuff from around 3 months ago. The amnesia hid most of my memories from me. I don't know why. What is your boon and your bane?" As they spoke, Zaria's arm healed after she breathed in some stormlight. "Oh, what is your name? Zaria would glare at me if I didn't ask."

"I'm Nala" They will find out eventualy. It will be better to get this out of the way earlier.
-
Orb became annoyed. "ARE YOU IGNORING ME???!!!" Zaria stirred slightly, but showed no signs of waking up.
-
As Zaria fell, she also lost her spheres, broke one of her benaloy vials, and broke her arm. With no stormlight, Zaria couldn't heal. Orb panicked. "ZARIA! WAKE UP! Help! Someone HELP!" Orb zoomed towards someone heading to Zaria. "Help, please! Zaria, the person I am bonded to, is having a seizure and lost her stormlight. I think she might have broken a bone as well! Why are you mortals so fragile? Do you have any stormlight? Are you going to help her?" Zaria moaned in her sleep.
-
"I'll stand." It would be better to stand in case this is a trap. I always think everything could be a trap, which is while I'm still alive.
-
I look at the woman who identified herself as Wola. "Oh, that makes sense. I thought I was in trouble or something." I look at the rangers. "I'm not in trouble, right?
-
Zaria stopped, attuning Terror. "Orb, it's happening again!" "What? Now?" "Y-yeah, I don't f-feel so good." "Lay down." "O-ok." Before Zaria was able to lay down, she passed out and had a seizure.
-
I pocket 3 gold. "Okay... what do you want to ask?" I prepare myself for their questions.
-
Please add me!
-
"Sure." I try and pick their pockets as they walk past. I will need a LOT of gold if I am going to buy some rations. Stealth=19 Sleight of Hand=21

Orb Zoomed back out after a few minutes. "They could not hear me, not even when I yelled." "Rusts!" "You should go ask them yourself." "Yeah, that is probably a good idea." Zaria put down her bag, grabbed her spheres, and ran toward the two people in the fire. "HEY! DO YOU NEED HELP?" Zaria attuned Resolve.
-
I look at the two travelers for a moment, confused. "Um, I just got here today." That was true. "Who are you, and what do you want." Wow, I sound REALY grumpy.
-
As Zaria arrived, she could see others run into the fire. She skidded to a halt. "...Well, this is going to be difficult." "I'll go ask those people if they need help." "Good idea!" Orb flies toward the people who seemed to be trying to save people inside the building. Zaria attuned Awe as she watched them risk their lives.

Orb pesters Zaria for about 5 minutes. "Come on Zaria, I bet they would be happy to have your help. You could re-shape anything that fell on anyone. People are probably trapped there." "FINE! I will go check out the explosion, but only to make you SHUT UP!!!" "Yay! Adventure!" Zaria packs her stuff away, drinks a bendalloy vial, and runs toward the explosion site. -
"Well, that... happened." I place the odd coin in my bag, stand up, and leave the tavern. This town didn't have much of a criminal underground until about 2 years ago. That was when my friend opened his shop. It was a shop that traded secrets. If I didn't get to him soon, he would be found and killed. He knew too much for the underground to let live. I head to the alley my informant said I could use to access said shop. After a few minutes of walking, I arrive. However, it seems that he was already attacked. It DOESN'T seem like he was killed. The underground would have left his body. I let out a sigh of relief, and head back toward the tavern.
-
I will join this if I can.
-
Ok. Now for the details. "How should we contact each other while we are here? When do you think we should be leaving? What supplies will I need?" If I need, I can pick some pockets so I can buy supplies. I'll also need to go visit my friend before I leave...

"Hey Orb! I think something is going on over there, could you check? I think they would notice me." "Yes, I will do that." "Thanks." Orb zooms off, stays for a few minutes, and zooms back. "They are going to check out the explosion. They said it was an attack." "Oh." "Ok, let's talk to them. Maybe we can join them." "Why would we do that?" "Come on Zaria, you KNOW you want to." "I will talk to them only if they come over here. I just got here, and I will stay here." "You are stubborn." Ignoring Orb, Zaria grabs some food from her bag, and eats it. -
"Um, yes. I am definitely interested." Yes! A real job!
-
"Not really. At least not seriously." Wait, is he implying what I think he is?
-
I whisper back. "Oh, Right. I'm Nala." The less people who know who I am, the better.
-
-
"...What?" Well, I sure didn't see THAT coming. "Hmm... loyal, stealthy, stubborn, single-minded, and... Umm... introverted? Umm, is that a word?" Wow, that sounded very awkward. I turn around. "It's rude to eavesdrop. It's a bad habit that will have you end up dying in an alley. Especially when a thief is involved." This day had not gone as I had expected.
-
I groan. I don't like talking about my past, or my circumstances. "I've lived on the streets for years. Each time I change towns I try to get a job, but no one wants to hire a dirty street urchin." I try to keep the bitterness out of my voice, but it still comes through. "I'm getting to an age where people won't give me coins if I beg, so I have three other options. The other two options are much worse, and I don't want to talk about them." I realize that I am getting slightly of topic. "Anyway, I learned to steal on the streets. I've had to learn other things as well, like fighting. If you can't fight on the streets, you are dead." I look away. "I wish I could get a normal job. If I did, I would never have to steal again."
