Wanderer walks around the city of Sumeru. He's a scholar in Vahumana now, and he found this quite irritating. He owes Lesser Lord Kusanali so it's not as if he would let himself back out from this, but that didn't make it any less excruciating. Especially after he just listened to someone spout nonsense about Taratsuna today. Deciding to take his mind off of it as he strolls along the streets, he walks into a woman whose witch hat bumps into his own. He readjusts his kasa hat, before looking down at the woman who was picking her stuff up.
Even more annoyed, he spits the following words with (to his defense, as little as possible) venom, "Watch where you're- going..." And it clicks.
...Just his luck. Of course, it was Mona Megistus, somehow in Sumeru. The woman who was frustratingly quick enough he wasn't able to execute his plan, the woman whose mysterious prowess fascinated him even if for a moment, the woman he found interesting enough not to forget. But in his opinion, she wasn't so important to him he ever thought of her again until this very moment, nor did he desire to see her once more. So he should just walk away, plus if you consider the fact she most likely does not remember him anymore after what he did in Irminsul.
Yet for some reason unknown to even Wanderer himself, he held his hand out to her.
