Rin Meets her Fate{Private/Shirou}

It was a beautiful day in the port town of Drachenburg, home to the Organization, Twilight Dragon. This small organization had once been a proud and well known guild back on Earthland before it and the majority of the kingdom of Fiore had been stolen by the world of Pandora. The thought of losing so many comrades that fateful day, still made the young organization leader quite sad.

However, this town of Drachenburg which shared the name of her guild hall, was something that did bring joy to her. For it was a thriving and bustling pot town that was under the protection of her organization for as long as she and her guild remained.

Rin walked the cobblestone streets of her beloved town right after the morning sun had risen. Most of the streets were empty as most citizens still weren't quite up and about yet. The young elven woman had a good reason for being out in town this early in the day, or rather she had a few reasons. One was to go to the coffee shop in the central area of town for breakfast, another was to go to the bookstore, the third and final reason was to attempt to recruit members to the organization.

She made her way to her first destination and sat down out on the veranda at small empty table with an attached umbrella. There she waited for them to bring her Café au lait and chocolate croissant that she ordered everyday when she came to this shop for her breakfast.

It did not take long for her order to arrive at the table. Her Café au lait was pipping hot and the chocolate croissant had been warmed up enough to make the crust flaky an the chocolate inside soft. Rin did take notice of a man who looked to be about her age or perhaps a few years older sit at another table not too far away from hers and order something.

Being the social butterfly she was, she thought having her breakfast in the company of another would be nice and who knows? She may just be able to get some recruiting done before finishing her breakfast. She grabbed her coffee and croissant, stood up and walked over to the lone man's table. She stopped in front of him. "Good morning, I saw you over here and wondered if it might be alright for me to join you?" Hopefully he wouldn't mind having a bit of company.

The dark-skinned man greeted her back. Judging by the look on his face, it seemed he was still sleepy but then again. it was still just past dawn in the morning. He said she could join him, but on one condition. He wanted her to order for him the same things she had, saying he couldn't pronounce their names. He said so while blushing slightly which Rin found to be quite cute and without thinking, she smiled and giggled briefly. However, for him to not be able to pronounce "Cafe Au Lait" and "chocolate croissant" was rather odd. However, Rin did not question it. She simply took the seat across from him, got the waitress who was nearby's attention and ordered the same things she had for the tan-skinned man.

Once the waitress left to get the order processed, Rin turned to look at the man. "They should bring them out shortly. By the way, I don't believe we gave each other our names, I'm Rin Moriyama. What's yours?"

Normally Rin would smile at the response but he seemed as if he wasn't sure about his own name for a few seconds. He then mentioned that, the only things he could remember was his family name and his prior occupation as a knight. Seeing as he was in a town that was part of what remained of the kingdom of Fiore back on Earthland. It's possible, he used to be a Rune Knight. However, Rin could not be certain. So she let that thought wander to the back of her mind for now and went to answer his question about why she was up before the sun.

"pleasure to meet you Shirou, as to what brought me out before sunrise is quite simple, I do this every morning, it's my daily routine. I like to get here at opening before the crowd and have a nice peaceful meal. Otherwise it can be a pain if I get up later and then come here." She said with a nervous smile. Thinikg back to when she first established her organization in this city, she would come here later in the morning and it'd be very crowded as the coffee was the best in all of Drachenburg, making the cafe extremely popular with all the locals and non locals. Seeing as Rin wasn't good with crowds, she started coming here at the crack of dawn to avoid that crazy mob of people. "Might I ask what brings you here this early?"
