[ Gray is out of her element at the forum, especially as she senses the conversations around her deepening into topics she couldn't hope to keep up with. She's a simple and straightforward girl with no time for arguments without answers; oftentimes she thinks the people who come to places like this to debate for the sake of debating actually just love to hear themselves talk.
Nevertheless, she feels obligated to be here to get a peek at the new batch of Shard-Bearers. She spends much of her time trying not to be seen by the more verbally combative folk around the forum, which ends up being a lost cause with how many locals are trying to impress the newcomers with their worldliness. Gray ends up taking a rest stop near a pair of debaters so deep into their conversation that they'll surely not notice her — at least until one of the men spikes his hat to the floor in disgust and storms off. To Gray's sharp apprehension, the remaining man addresses her.
A deer in the headlights, she quickly glances to her left and right to make sure the man is in fact trying to speak to her. Unfortunately, he's definitely talking to her. ]
