... Hello! [Was that how you were supposed to start these things? Oh well.] Ah, sorry if I'm interrupting anyone. My name is Ringo Noyamano, I just arrived here a few moments ago. I think I understood most of what I was told, and I'm sure I can figure it out otherwise, but I am wondering one thing.

[A slight pause, and it was good she'd picked voice as opposed to video, because she looks pretty embarrassed.] Can anyone tell me the quickest route to a clothing store near the... Hold, I believe it's called? Any clothing store will do-- I shouldn't be too picky in an emergency. Thank you for listening!

[Then, much softer, right before she ends the feed--] It's really cold...

[And in case anyone near the Hold did happen to pass by, she was currently crouched behind a makeshift barrier/chair, her back to a corner-- her outfit had been fine back home, given the situation, but now she just felt ridiculous.]

[A laugh, softly,] There's always a hierarchy for everything, isn't there? Kings and Queens are at the top, where I am-- and Kazu's almost there, sort of. He has the potential.

[Any and all embarrassment Ringo had over being seen in her current state of (un)dress gets essentially pushed aside with this direction in topic.]

Mm, it's nothing that serious! The closest way to describe it... would be a really intense sport, and there are different ways to fight and compete. With these. [On cue, she motions to her trecks once more.]

[incendiarism]

Oh, you're a queen? I can buy that. [He looks at her face with new interest. This girl's a ruler of something, huh? Makes sense. She's got a charisma and a stubbornness he likes in kings.]

A sport, huh? Like Reim's gladiators, then? You compete to rule? Strongest wins and takes the power!

[He lifts his hands into fists, excited.]

Sounds fun. I didn't think that guy could handle something like that, but maybe he's hiding it.

That's about right. At the end, the strongest, most skilled rider earned the title of Sky King.

[She smiles at how excited he looks talking about it, despite not being familiar with the a-t concept. It reminded her of a certain crow headed idiot.]

He's the type that people underestimate because they don't know how hard he works. [Nodnodnods, as if it was some sort of secret she was sharing.] You'd do pretty well at it too, I think. I can find out if there's a way for you to get a pair of trecks here if you're interested in trying it out.
