Kira screamed and ducked when the box exploded. She was completely lost on what was going on. What should she do? Who was this man? Should she stay and help him or run. Her body froze, unsure of her next step, but her eyes never left the men. That man was taller, nearly a foot taller than she was. And built like a fighter. Where did they get him from? Was he a Connlaothian? Why such extreme measures? Maybe it would be better if she ran....but her legs didn't move.

Kira takes a few more step back. She yelps at the cracking of the wood. Her horse whinnies, stomping in discomfort. Kira's eyes were fixed on the box. Is that... a man in there? Things started to click. Oh, no. That is why they didn't want to share. They were slavers....and their cargo was not happy. Part of her wanted to run, just hop on her cart and go....but part of her was concerned and curious...who was this man that they were so determined to keep locked down.

She moves to her horse to keep her steady. With her being there, she is at least close enough to jump up and run if it becomes too much....

Kina takes a few steps back from the men as they start to panic. Just what in the hell were they traveling with? Kina was starting to think this was a mistake. She was starting to panic. Should she run? Should she stay and help? How could she even help? She has no idea how to fight. What the hell would she even be fighting? She takes a few more steps back.

"I-is....everything okay?"

Kina's smile was bright, "Well, you are welcome. If you would like, I can get you something for the sleep too. Proper rest is good for healing and-" The large thump interrupted her. She jolted at the sound, quickly looking around for the source.

"Everything okay? Did someone fall? Anyone hurt?" She quickly asks. Her eyes darted quickly between the men, accounting for each one before her eyes moved to their cart, "Did one of your boxes fall over?" She questioned, now taking a good look at their goods.

Kira cocks her head a bit at the response, "No, I haven't. Never been farther than Serendipity. Never had a need to, really." Wrapping the man's arm didn't take her long. She made a quick sling for him with some spare bandage fabric. "Last but not least," she says, fishing out a small tonic bottle, "Take a sip of this when you feel too much pain. Should numb the body enough to keep it in check. Don't over do it. Your friends will need to help carry you if you do." She stands up to give the other men a smile, "That should be it, unless someone else was needing aid?"

Poor naive Kira....she was always so oblivious to other's intentions. She was too focused on the injuries.

"The pleasure is all mine, gentlemen. I am always willing to help." She says, unfolding her bag. Part of her brain nagged at her a bit. These wounds were not conducive to injuries from a fall. It was more like....battle wounds? Nah, what did it matter? It wasn't like she cared. She just wanted to help. "Looks like a broken arm. Let's wrap it and get a sling set for ya and some medicine for the pain." She says, giving him a quick smile as she dug through her bag. "So what kind of cargo are you carrying?"

Kira nods along with the man. They are from Connlaoth...so no magic. Can't have them knowing she can use magic so they can turn her over when they get to the border. She tries to keep the small talk going as she starts to examine the extent of the man's injuries.

"Oh, really?" She says, "And what brings you over here to fair Serendipity? Must not be too much if you are willing to backtrack the day for just lil' ol' me?"

As her cart comes to a stop, Kira raises an eyebrow at the offer. It wasn't a terrible one. Traveling in groups does tend to deter bandits and she doesn't need the money. Maybe they knew something she didn't? Maybe things have become worse on the border? She shrugs as she starts to slide off her cart, grabbing her bag from the back. She has helped people for way less payment. Might as well.

With a few quick steps, she makes it off the road and by their cart. "I think that is fair." She says, offering a smile. "Traveling alone is dangerous these days and I could use the help getting to the border." She glances between the two men, "So....what has happened and how can I help?"

A soft little tune hung in the air as Kira made her way down the road. She would often hum to herself as she traveled, considering there wasn't much else to do. But she didn't mind traveling alone. It was peaceful, all things considered. Despite the tensions across the border, Kira had not run into too much trouble. Most people leave her alone once they figure out she was medically trained. Too many refugees need tending to for cheap than making enemies with a Serendian.

The last town was fruitful. Enough to cover the supplies that she used and then some. It was a good thing too. She was looking to head back across the border into Connlaoth soon and she was needing more. Her business strategy was working well. Come to Serendipity to restock on cheap supplies, since most healing was done magically and did not require normal things like bandages and tonics. She would then cross the border and help as many as she could in Connlaoth before coming back over and repeating the steps all over again. Now that she was fully restocked, she could head back over.

As she traveled along, she noticed a cart pulled to the side of the road. Not completely uncommon to see but Kira could be a little nosey and she was curious. She tried not to make it too obvious but as soon as she notice the man slumped against the tree, her curiosity grew to concern.

"Hello!" She called out, slowing her cart down as she waved to them, "Are you in need of some assistance? I can offer healing services for cheap if you need some!"

Physical Description

Art by me

Kira looks like your average, young, Serenian woman. Lithe and thin-muscled, she is surprisingly strong for someone her size. After years of slave labor and dealing with unruly patience, she learned how to handle herself. Despite her hardships, her eyes are bright, and shining. Their bright crystal blue hue is comparable to a clear sky blue sky. Her hair is a bright copper, often tied up in a bun. When it is undone, her hair falls in a slight wave to her mid-back.

Personality
Kira has developed a kind heart over the years. She wears it on her sleeve, often giving others more than she will ever expect back in return. It is her greatest strength and her fatal flaw. She works hard earnestly and honestly toward her goals, doing everything she can to be self-sufficient. She doesn't need fancy things or glamorous dresses. However, she is a little socially naive. Certain things like sarcasm and flirting can go right over her head. Sometimes she needs things spelled out for her. But when it comes to healing and medicine, she is a genius.

History
Kira was born to a slave woman in Featherfall. It was uncommon for a Serenian to become a slave in Serendipity, but her mother had sold herself into it after being abandoned by her Connlaothian lover when he found out he became a father. But life wasn't awful. Their master was kind and provided the two with both a house and food in exchange for their work. Kira would even see him almost like father figure as he would always encourage her to learn and study. Kira showed great promise as a practitioner of the healing arts and medical studies, making her a very useful tool in the fields. Life went on until the day her mother died. On her deathbed, Kira's mother asked her master if he would let her daughter go free, hoping that she can learn the world like she had always wanted to. Kira didn't understand why. She didn't feel like she needed to leave. But her mother was adamant. The world was vast, and she held so much kindness and power in her. She needed to see the world. Kira promised to explore the world, despite having no clue how she will. Their master agreed and even gave Kira some money to start her journey. Once her mother was passed and buried, she bought a wagon and a horse and set off. When she gets to a new town, she offers low-cost healing and medical services, excluding the magic parts when she gets too close to the border.
