I Want To Go Home.

[Aldamir]

Sorsha smiled back at the girl as she introduced herself as Laurë. It was quite an unusual name. She never heard of it. But she assumed it was the type of name common to her hometown. After all, she never left teh city and so knew little of the outside world. Other than what she was hearing of course.

She started to make her way through the crowd, looking at the many stores in roder to find the one of her choice. "Where are you from Laurë?" she asked her, speaking loud enough for the girl to hear her through the crowd. She kept an eye on the girl jsut to make sure she was still following behind. She wanted to build the conversation since they'd be walking together for a moment.

She arrived at the right kiosk and started looking at the linen shown. She didn't listen to the man trying to sll her his merchandise, touching the linen and judging by herself. It seemed rather good, about like the one she used to buy before. She asked for the price and paid for it. She bought enough to make about five shirts, the package was rather large but light so it was more a burden to carry because of its size than weight. She placed it between her body and arm. She looked at Laurë. "Now how about I show you the chapel, huh?"

Laurë was glad that her new friend didn’t ask much about her name. Perhaps she assumed that it was common in other towns. Maybe later, when she would get to know the girl better, she would take a chance and talk to her about the origin of her name but for now; it was quite a touchy subject still.

She followed Sorsha as they walked through the crowd; she looked at various stores that was available for her to shop at. There were so many; clothes store, food stores, jewelry, and many other various that you wouldn’t suspect to be in a market place. Though, assuming that this town was extremely big compared to her hometown, it was a normal fact. There were people coming from many places around the world, places that she wouldn’t even imagine so. Tanned people, people who came from the North like her that were sharing their wonders to others in order to make money for a living.

She glanced at Sorsha as she questioned her about her hometown. “I come from the foot of White Mountains, in a village called Calembel; it is by the river. Not the warmest town you would see, but it is very peaceful and pleasant to be there.” She spoke knowing that her memories would just be nostalgia; she frowned a little but still smiled at the girl as she answered loud enough for her to hear.

She stared at Sorsha as she chose the linen that her mother had asked her to get and then her new friend turned around telling her about going to the chapel. It made her smile and she nodded as it grew into a grin. “Wonderful! I have heard that chapels were quite beautiful in this town!” She exclaimed. Some people in her hometown used to travel a lot and when they came back, they usually loved speaking of what they saw and with her curious nature and now that she had the possibility to see them with her eyes, it appealed her even more.

"Sounds nice." Sorsha replied as she talked of her hometown. She heard of the White Mountains but not of Calembel. At least she knew it was in Gondor and near a river throwing itself in Anduin. Or something like that. Geography had never been her forte. It was north of here, she knew that much.

She shrugged when Laurë mentioned their chapels were beautiful. It was not bad but certainly not the most beautiful in this town. After all, this tier was not the richest one. Higher and closer to the palace it must be quite breath-taking. Then again, maybe she'd find it wonderful and all. Sorsha had no idea what her chapel looked like back in her hometown.

"Just follow me." she said as she started to walk again. Soon the crowd thinned out as they left the marketplace and made their way to the Healing Houses. After a moment, even houses started to be less apparent. It was indeed the most quiet spot you could find, at this level at least. "Here you go." she said as they stopped in front of the path leading to the chapel, standing tall before them.

Laurë smiled and nodded at Sorsha once she was done speaking of her hometown. Sure it wasn’t one of the most prestigious ones but it was still her home, somewhere she would feel always secure at. She shook her head trying not to think about it so much, she must sound like a peasant thinking about her hometown this much and looking taken aback by such a big city. Looks like she would have to deal with it and she knew she was quite capable do adapt herself in most of the situations that were forced to her. She was a strong woman after all!

She nodded once again as the other girl told her to follow her; it was going to be the time where she would see the chapel. She could notice the difference of the two parts of the town she had visited previously; less houses, less people, less noises and better smells. It was quite a contrast to the busy life of the town but a pleasant one in Laurë’s eyes.

She loved the spot and knew she would hang out around here when she needed time to think. Soon the girl stopped and she stopped along with her to gaze up at the large chapel. It was so much bigger than what she had seen in her hometown. That was another thing she would have to get used to –big. She guessed it wasn’t going to be the only big monument of the town. She wasn’t scared of big, she wanted to see more and at this rate, where everything was beautiful, she was even more curious and willing to see anything that the city had to offer.

She clapped her hand together pleased by what her new friend showed her. “Perfect! Who would’ve thought that there is a quiet place in such a big and busy town!” She said making sure she didn’t make too much noise not to break the peaceful silence of the atmosphere.
