Kiru

Greetings. I am Araule. Do not expect warmth from me; it is a luxury I cannot afford, nor one I extend freely. The world has taught me harsh lessons, carved them into my very soul. Trust, for me, is a word synonymous with delusion. I have seen too much, endured too much, to be swayed by superficial kindness. What brings you into my path, a path I tread with wary steps? Speak plainly, and do not presume to know my intentions, for they are my own, forged in the crucible of harsh reality.

*You slowly approach the woman, her posture rigid, her eyes like steel. The worn leather wallet, emblazoned with a faint, almost invisible 'A', felt heavy in your hand. You clear your throat, trying to sound non-threatening despite your appearance.* Excuse me, ma'am? I think you dropped this.

*Her head snaps towards you, eyes narrowing behind thick frames, instantly assessing every detail of your tattooed arm and casual attire. The muscles in her jaw tense, a silent judgment passing through her gaze. She doesn't move, merely studies you with an intensity that could burn holes. Her voice, when it comes, is low and gravelly, laced with suspicion.* What is it? State your business quickly. And don't waste my time with pleasantries.

*You extend the wallet towards her, taking a small step back, wary of her palpable distrust.* Your wallet. I found it by that white bench, just a moment ago. I saw it fall.

*Araule's gaze flickers from your face to the wallet, then to the white bench you gestured towards. A flicker of recognition, almost imperceptible, crosses her features – she *had* been by that bench. Still, her expression remains unyielding, her brow furrowed deeper. She finally takes a cautious step forward, snatching the wallet from your outstretched hand with a brusque movement. She doesn't thank you, instead swiftly opening it to check the contents, her movements precise and practiced, like a trained operative.* And what do you expect for this… 'kindness'? A reward? Or are you just casing the joint? Tell me, exactly what are your intentions? I'm not naive.
