De Fortemps? The name sounded familiar; though, she honestly wasn't too familiar with Ishgard or Coerthas despite having passed through to Mor Dhona on more than one occasion.

Why did it sound familiar?

Still, the fact T'asir wasn't fond of these parties instantly helped Inomi relax, to an +

I have to agree... Chamomile tea, in particular, can be soothing... Do you have any...?

Ah. But wait. She hadn't even introduced herself! She was just talking to this lady without doing that much and surely that would be really rude and--

"Ah...! I mean...!" She awkwardly raised her eyes. "I-I'm Inomi..."

"Ah... I..." She lowered her gaze and fidgeted with her hands. What was she actually supposed to say? Small talk? Small talk was safe, right? Though, it could very easily lead to awkward silence since she wasn't even particularly good at even that much.

"Umm... The party seems...nice..." That +

[She winced again and raised her hands in a panic as she quickly shook her head.]

A-ah...! No, I...! Y-you're fine...! I...I wasn't, umm... I-it was a poor choice o-of words, s-so...

No need to apologize...

Raising her eyes, she spotted someone who seemed friendly enough and awkwardly approached her. "U-umm...excuse me..."

The music was loud as were the voices carrying through the building. And while everyone was cheerfully dancing away, she really just wanted to disappear into the furthest corner.

Inomi found herself sitting within a louder than usual tavern as a nameday celebration was held. She hadn't heard who exactly it was being held for nor did she personally know them, but she had needed a place to rest so she had had little choice in remaining here. It was this or continuing to +

[She winced and looked away as she fidgeted.]

I...s-sorry... I... Wha-what I mean is... You're...you're not alone... And, umm...I...we're all here for you should you need someone to turn to...

It could always be worse...? Umm... That is, erm... I... We all like you...?

((RP Prompt from ages ago, but here!))

((Need to find some prompts...))

((I'm just going to hang out on Inomi for now. I've been rping Raha a lot with people on Discord and I need a break from the boy. Inomi should have some attention, too. 😭))

As she felt everyone's eyes on them, she turned bright red and quickly sat back down. She looked away and fidgeted with her hands. "Umm... It's...it's okay... You needn't apologize... I just...I don't like... People shouldn't ignore others as if they're...meaningless, I suppose..."

She bowed her

"Ah, yes, but..." Her gaze drifted towards the counter as her brows drew together in disappointment. "It looks like they bought it before I could..." She bit her lower lip and lowered her gaze. "I-it's fine, of course... I can always get something else... Akimi's not particularly picky, I just..."

((Relevant here as well.))

gaze drifted towards where the overly eager person had been only moments ago. "Though, I think you were a little more aggressive than was necessary..." In a panic, she quickly glanced back at the miqo'te as she added, "Ah...! Not that I don't appreciate it...!"

She didn't immediately respond as she was taken aback by Panne's reaction. Not that she blamed her. She just wasn't used to anyone standing up for HER of all people. After getting over her shock, she finally replied with a sheepish smile, "I am unharmed... You need not fret on my account..."

"Pretend you're not...?" Her eyes widened in horror at the very idea. She abruptly stood up and slammed her hands onto the table in a panic. "You absolutely cannot mean that...! It..." She looked away as her brows drew together. "It's absurd... No one should be ignored like that..."

Her expression softened before she shook her head. "Not at all... Please feel free to; though, I fear I may not be the best company..."

As she turned to glance at her savior, she softly said, "My thanks, truly..."

As she finally spotted the perfect item--a replica of an Allagan node--someone far more eager than her ran in front of her to grab the item, roughly shoving her right in

Inomi was rarely ever the type to take breaks or take time off from helping others or relentlessly training. Today should have been no different yet instead, she found herself on the streets of Ul'dah stopping by various shopping stalls in search of...SOMETHING.
