(Lilyah)
I have decided!
I do not like carriages... my butt hurts...
mmm, if only I had a pillow, gee, that Goddess is really thoughtless, huh?
Bored...
What to do...
“The wheels on the carriage go round and round, round and round, round and round.”
“Please stop singing that awful song before i regret letting you ride with me...” came Carlsons voice from the front of the carriage.
mmm, how rude! I think I’ve been rather quiet on this journey!
Okay... maybe not.
But what else is there to do... im so booored.
[Answer: host could look at their status.]
Oh, good idea miss system!
...
Well? Where is it?
[Answer: host has to say ‘status’]
Why?
... Fine,
“Status.”

Uwahh, I guess I’m now super awesome! Im like a prodigy or something!
“Hey mister Carl, what are your stats like?”
“Excuse me?”
Carl responded with a dark expression, along with a hint of suspicion.
“Hm? Whats with the expression? Im just curious you know...”
After he twitched on the spot, Carls neutral expression slowly returned and he responded
“I don’t know where you are from little Miss Lilyah, but in Darlon, asking people their status like that is considered very suspicious, don’t do it again.”
Suspicious? Why would it be suspicious? hahh, so confused, people are confusing...
“Since you can’t tell me your status, could you tell me the average stats for ‘Darlon.’”
“Mhm, the average stats for men in this country would be around 20 on everything but mind and magic of course.”
Eh? What does that last bit mean ‘of course’?
After looking at my dubious expression Carl continued on,
“Our country is known for having only a few individuals with talent for magic, usually being nobility, since peasant bloodlines like mine are impure.”
“Mm, i see, thank you for the information.”
“You’re welcome, oh and by the way, we’ve arrived.”
Finally, that means soon i can find a bed! I am starting to get a bit sleepy...
“You not gonna come up front to take a look?”
“Im not... a child.”
Now that the carriage is moving a bit slower... its quite nice actually.
“Oh yeah, make sure to get some kind of ID to show the guards”
“Mhm...”
So... sleepy.

(The Guard)
As Carlson pulled up to the gates, I heard him speaking to someone.
Odd, that young merchant usually travels alone. Maybe he’s found a lover? Heh, wouldn’t put it past the kiddo, young love n’ all.
“Halt, Carlson, ill need to see the identification of you and that girlfriend of yours, what’s her name?”
“Eh? W-wait, no she isn’t my lover I just found her on the road and offered her a ride!” He spoke, flustered.
“Mhmm? Well doesn’t change anything. Hey, you in the carriage, come out with some identification.”
There was no voice, or even any movement. Has Carl gone nuts? I doubt it, I suppose i should check in there.
Looking over at Carlson, he seemed to have come to some strange conclusion, he’s sweating buckets over there, I wonder why...
As i pushed through the drawn curtains i saw a silver haired girl, probably no younger then 12? Lying on the seat sleeping soundly.
She had long silver hair with thin lips and a small nose, she was terribly small, curling herself into a ball on the seat.
“Carlson...”
Absolutely despicable, I can understand if his lover was of age, but this! No, Carl is going to have-to answer to the law for this. Absolutely deplorable.
“You’ve gone too far Carl, this girl is far too young for you, you’re going away for a looong time...”
“Wait, Eric! Aren’t you misunderstanding something? I was being serious when I said I was just giving her a ride!” He pleaded.
...
“Mhm, fine I’ll believe ya, didn’t really take ya for the type anyway.”
Hm, it is a shame to have to wake up such a sound sleeper, but if she cant show an ID she will have to be taken into custody so I’m left no choice.
“Miss, wake up!” I spoke loudly while gently shaking the girl,
As i shook the girl in increasing intensity, i was suddenly pushed backwards out of the carriage by an unknown force.
“GAH,
...
Bloody hell, Carlson, you didn’t tell me she was a magician!”
“Is that what that was!? I didn’t know...”
He stared at the outside of the carriage, probably contemplating something, I’m more concerned with my bruised arse after its untimely encounter with the ground.
But then.
He turned to me and spoke in a grave voice.
“I believe she may be an outworlder...”
