 Acting as the large port between the plains and the mountains, Dorburn is lively with all sorts of characters and species. Many of those who search for jobs on the water or in the local tavern won't have any trouble finding what they need here. Between the city's center and the ports, no being can be bored here. |

Vane walked the streets, armed with a messenger bag of jewelry and stones and his brother at his side. Atlas was playing his lute and singing about the stones that Vane had on hand, while Vane advertised both the stones and his performing brother. Smiles stretched across their faces and their eyes were bright even though very few people were interested in what they had to sell.
After a while, Atlas stopped playing. "I'm telling you, if we got a booth, we'd do a whole lot better."
"We can't afford a booth, Atlas," Vane replied, stuffing a necklace into the bag. "I've told you this a thousand times."

Aviva walked down the street with her head cocked to the side. Ever since she got up this morning, she had begun to hear a commotion outside. Determination had snaked his way into her brain and that in result had caused her to set out towards the cobblestone without a second thought. Maybe there was a festival or some sort of race. She wasn't sure, but there would be nothing else on her mind until she figured it out. Now as she walked, her body would instinctively turn trying to find the source of the noise. And noise there was- she heard it all around her but couldn't separate what she was looking for from the sounds of daily life. Turning a corner, she heard something that caused her to break into a small jog. As more notes passed, the less people that she passed and the more corners that she turned. While running halfway down a slope, she skidded to a rest as the music she heard ceased playing. Knowing that it had to have been nearby she broke into a fast walk, hoping to catch the ones who were making the noise.

Atlas strummed a few notes, twisting around his brother as he sang in a sing-song voice, "If only my dearest brother didn't spend our gold on honeys and wine and buy a good time."
"I don't spend our gold on such nonsense," Vane protested, his smile fading. "What lies!"
"But if we saved it, we would make it!" Atlas continued, stopping again with a shout as his brother lunged at him, and the two start running down the street a ways before slowing again. "Awh, come on, Vane, don't be such a sour patch!"

Aviva exhaled growing disappointed. There were so many people around her, it was getting harder to not only hear-but see. A little discouraged she trudged on, deciding to hold out a few more minutes of searching. Feet carrying her forward, her eyes drifted down some as she walked, unaware that there were a set of boys who had begun a mouse and cat chase towards her. Hearing the sound of shoes hitting the pavement hard, her head flew up and she held up a hand at them as neared, stumbling back as the passed. Unable to move fast enough gravity pulled her onto her back and she fell hard.

Vane skid to a stop as he watched Atlas bump into a girl, and he frowned before trotting over quickly. "Miss, so sorry."
At the same time, Atlas chided him as he regained balance. "See? This is why we have so many problems and so few friends! You're always shoving them around." To the girl, Atlas smiled, putting the strap of his instrument around his neck as he reached out to her. "Pardon me, miss. My brother tends to be a little heartless sometimes."
"You're lying again," Vane grumbled, then to the girl, "Are you okay?"

"Miss, so sorry."
Aviva looked up at him. "Oh it-"
"See? This is why we have so many problems and so few friends! You're always shoving them around. Pardon me, miss. My brother tends to be a little heartless sometimes."
"You're lying again, Are you okay?"
She paused as someone else joined them, watching confused as they started bickering. Brothers? A small smile crept on her lips as she continued to look back and forth-one to the other. "Its alright. I'm fine. No I don't think he's heartless." Taking his hand she laughed at their actions, not paying any attention to the instrument. Only taking in the faces of the two in front of her. "No big deal boys. Now if you excuse me- I am in a hurry to be someone. Rather to find something. You see I heard these sounds coming from my apartment. They just drew me in. Oh! You wouldn't know where the source is, would you? " she looked up at them hopeful.

The two exchanged looks, though it was Atlas who spoke. "Sound? You mean this?" He took up his lute and started playing a small song.
"Show off," Vane murmured, looking at the girl. "We were advertising for our wares, so you may have heard him playing."

"Sound? You mean this?"
Aviva's eyes lit up as he started playing, instantly moving closer to look at it. "That's it! So it was yours all along? Such pretty music."
"Show off. We were advertising for our wares, so you may have heard him playing."
Her head tilted towards the side. "Wares? " she ran the word through her head, trying to remember what it meant. Once she remembered, her curiousity peaked. "Oh that means products right? What all do you have?"

"That's it! So it was yours all along? Such pretty music."
"See? She likes my music," Atlas beamed at his brother.
Vane rolled his eyes at him.
"Wares? Oh that means products right? What all do you have?"
"Products?" Atlas murmured, though Vane jumped straight into conversation.
"Yes!" he dug in his back and opened it up. "We have stones, necklaces, rings, any jewelry you can possibly dream of with any stone imaginable."
"We find the stones ourselves," Atlas boasted.

"See? She likes my music,"
Aviva watched them with bright eyes. "You can make the music? I thought it only came from machines? "Reaching out she quickly took hold of his flute and pulled it up to study it, forgetting that it was around his neck.
"Yes. We have stones, necklaces, rings, any jewelry you can possibly dream of with any stone imaginable."
Aviva immediately dropped the flute and looked over at the bag, picking through it a little. "Really? That's amazing. There's lots of rocks out there, it astounding that you have this much of varied colors." She picked up a blue before glancing at the flute. "Why not combine them?"

"You can make the music? I thought it only came from machines? "
"Machines? What do you mean--- ack!" Atlas struggled to keep his balance a moment, pulling on the strap around his neck. "Wait wait wait--" When he's released, he stumbled a bit, straightening with a confused expression.
"Really? That's amazing. There's lots of rocks out there, it astounding that you have this much of varied colors. Why not combine them?"
Atlas held his lute as though it were the most important thing in the world. "But then my lute wouldn't be the same."
Vane laughed at him, shaking his head. "We only have the jewels, not the skills to inlay them."

"Machines? What do you mean--- ack! Wait wait wait--"
"Boxes. You know?"know she looked at him confused, did he truly not know? Or was it that she had the wrong information? She took in his confused expression and she frowned. "I'm sorry. Didn't mean to do that -just get a little excited sometimes."
"But then my lute wouldn't be the same. We only have the jewels, not the skills to inlay them."
"Oh."she looked disappointed a moment but then she smiled. "It doesn't particularly have to be your lute. As for the ability to inlay them-I might be able to help."

Atlas stared, slightly confused, but didn't asked anything as he looked at his brother.
"It doesn't particularly have to be your lute. As for the ability to inlay them-I might be able to help."
Vane's expression brightened. "Really? You can do that?"

"Really? You can do that?"
Aviva nodded at him, smiling with her hands behind her back. "I can. Well I think I can-cant be much harder than what I do now." She would just have to practice.
