"Hmm.."
Lydia's brows furrowed as she walked, studying the map in her hands carefully. She had marked the spot off Tass pointed to previously when he was showing her where the library was, but reading and understanding a map was a new thing for her.
"Excuse me?" She flashed a polite smile to a passerby, flagging them down and waving them over. "Do you think you can help me out? I think I'm lost." She gestured to the map.
The man nodded to her as he approached. "Of course, what seems to be the tro-" He paused as he looked the map over. "Well.." He reached over, turing the map around as he laughed. "Maps are best used when they're not upside down."
"Oh!" Lydia's faced reddened a bit as she looked at the map again...it seemed to make more sense now...
"Not a problem.. this is where you're wanting to go right?" He reached out and pointed at the marked spot. "That's really close to where we are..." His finger moved just a fraction across the map. "Just keep heading down this street, make a right over there-" His hand moved from the map to point way down the street to a road branching off at the end. "-it's the big place at the end of that road...you can't miss it!"
Her smiled widened as she nodded excitedly. "Okay! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!"
Folding the map up and tucking it away as she took off down the street, her boots were loud against the cobblestoned pavement. The appropriate right turn was made as she kept running, darting to and fro, left and right to avoid running into any people also walking along the streets. At the end, she skidded to a halt in front of a particularly large, majestic looking building. Majestic in her eyes at least...
Her mouth formed a curious o as she looked it over. This was it right? Well, there was only one way to know for sure! A deep breath was taken before slow steps took her closer to the building, until she paused at the entrance. She wasn't so sure knocking on the door would help in this case either... so she poked her head inside, a curious glance about taken.
"Hello? Anyone here?"
