Lohengrin(Freyja/Hannah)

To become accustomed to a new location so far from one's element may have seemed like the height of difficulty but to the undisputed head of the Solheim family, adaptability was one of her strong suits. An air of professionalism and grace had allowed her to quickly blend in with her peers, allowing her to plant her roots within this innovative cityscape that she now called home.

Choosing the position of coordinator in the Sternritter Division, Freyja decidedly settled into a role of leadership as if it were second nature. The maiden of war had only ever known conflict in her life, yet remained unfazed towards the unexpected events that sought to crush her spirits. Naturally, her desire was to perform her duty but there were no missions of particular note. As such, there was little else to do but, somewhat to her chagrin, decide upon an alternative of option of how she'd spend her day.

There was a concert venue somewhere within the City of Lights. A musical enthusiast by nature, Freyja welcomed the thought of pulling one of the many books from her library and settling into a seat as she listened to the graceful sounds of a wondrous performance.

Stepping outside a house she had recently bought with a copy of some fine book lost to the history of time, Freyja swiftly glided through the air, moving through the city at a considerable pace before quietly arriving at the venue. Stepping through the doors, the noble maiden would bow to the guards at the door before they welcomed her in.

Sitting at a table with two chairs, Freyja politely called for one of the staff members to provide her with a source of nourishment and refreshments as she carefully opened her book, browsing through it's content.

"Oh, Death
Won't you spare me over another year?

But what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands taking hold of me?
When God is gone and the Devil takes hold
Who will have mercy on your soul?"

The woman on the stage had a beautiful voice, with a subtle, haunting tinge. Anyone who was watching with their Reikaku would see that she was manipulating the air with her spiritual power to change the harmonics and shift the sound that was coming out to be perfectly tweaked for the listeners. The glorious dress, hat and silk gloves certainly didn't hurt the appearance of being some demure travelling singer.

Freyja smiled softly as she gazed in the direction of the graceful and demure singer, singing a hauntingly melodious tune that enthralled all who chose to listen. It was a remarkable performance, enhanced by the woman's attention to detail as she manipulated the harmonics and sound of her voice to appeal to the spiritual sense, achieving an ideal connection with each member of the crowd.

To be certain, the woman's performance was enough to enthrall the meticulous quincy who, by her own admission, was not easily swayed by any minor performance. To her, music was an artform as detailed as drawing or writing - cutting corners or hoping stage presence would carry you through did not fall in line with her sense of aesthetic. Enthralled by the supernatural performance, Freyja maintained her gaze towards the stage, marveled by the performance.

After the song was over, Hannah would give a gentle bow to the audience. She had accepted the offer here to practice her use of Anima Mea in an extended and precise moment, and it had gone well. Though throughout her performance, there was one who was watching her. It made Hannah happy to have such a rapt fan. So when she was finished and got into more casual clothing, Hannah would approach the table.

"So, I seem to have attracted your attention, dear" Hannah would state, standing in front of the chair and waiting to see if she was offered a seat.

"Indeed, it was a remarkable performance. No doubt, I assume many others who witnessed the performance were enthralled as well," Freyja would comment with a polite smile, her tone graceful and well-mannered. Snapping her fingers softly, one of her personal soldat would come over and pull the chair back ever so slightly, so that Hannah could sit at her table.

The war maiden regarded Hannah with an observational gaze, studying her movement and appearance. As she said, there were many others who found her musical display to be the crowning performance of the night. Why she chose to single her out among those present was a curious act, yet Freyja paid no heed towards it The natural course of action was to come to her own conclusion on the woman.

"Nothing you'd not be able to do. The air in the modern day is filled with enough energy you could manipulate the Reishi in it to change your own harmonics in a similar way" Hannah would say, taking a seat as she was offered. She was quite gaunt as people went, and was very clearly blind from the way her eyes never focused on anything, and were glazed over with an unseen dimness. Still, Frejya would feel a soft pressure wrapping around her, implying how Hannah saw the world.

"Ahh, sorry for not introducing myself earlier. I am Hannah Chiza, I work with Lux Orior and spend some time in the City of Lights to help ensure relations between organizations"

"Indeed, the array of acts that can be performed through manipulating one's reishi are nigh-innumerable - especially so in this day and age. Of course, I view myself as more instrumentalist than vocalist, one with a profound adoration for the piano." Freyja would set her book down to observe Hannah's appearance. Judging from the dimmed color and directionless gaze, the Sternritter Coordinator had ascertained that she was blind.

Her presence was welcoming enough, Freyja feeling an airy pressure wrapping around her frame. To be certain, Freyja remained as she always did, her gaze unwavering yet softened by the warm nature the woman exuded. It was not always proper etiquette to act as every situation required militant diligence and an observing gaze, prepared for conflict that would not occur. Even so, the war maiden knew no other path than rife with conflict. Much to the chagrin of the Solheim, she had always likened herself to a sword brandished solely for the purpose of her family and her peers who fighting under the banner of the Vandenreich.

The mere and simplistic act of spending days wherein no missions or paperwork were being completed, no relations between neighboring families were being fostered - or even handling the threat of hollows - was foreign to her. Nevertheless, no matter the difficulty, she still strived to be something other than the formal noblewoman she presented herself as, even if she viewed it as something to accomplish rather than the intended purpose of humanizing one's spirit.

"Freyja Solheim. Matriarch of the Solheim Family. Sternritter Coordinator of the Vandenreich. This is my first time meeting a member of the Lux Orior. Pleasure to make your acquitance, Miss Chiza."

Formal to a fault as always. Meticulous in her speech and nature even if the situation hardly required it's use.. No use in ruminating on it now. She was still learning, after all.

"So formal. You wouldn't be hiding puppy-love attraction for me after seeing my performance, would you?" Hannah asked, with a gentle smile. The tone in which it was said, and Hannah's whole lack of sultry vibes and personality, would definitely force people to double-take on what she had actually just said.

Ordering herself a cup of tea from one of the waiters, she would turn her 'gaze' back to Frejya. A gaze of focus, and determination to hear the answer from her new friend.

Freyja tilted her head ever so slightly, gazing at the woman with an expression that illustrating stoicism. Azure eyes observed her for a moment to make sure she acknowledged her words correctly. Lifting a hand to signal for a cup of tea herself, Freyja would reply in a polite tone.

"To assume puppy-love would be developed from gazing at someone performing on a stage - no matter how grand their performance was - is an odd conjecture. My attraction towards you is no more than how one would regard a stranger - perhaps a future acquaintance, if that. That said, I'm sure others have developed affections for far less."

"Vandenreich's artificial development division has made real strides in progress, it seems" Hannah would comment after Frejya just straight up didn't react to Hannah and continued being the whole stoic voice. Any kind of blush, or even irritation would have been preferred to that.

"I was making a joke to tease a reaction out of you. But it seems you are not particularly a person to do reactions. Which does make interaction and engagement quite an endevour without persistent shared work goals"
