A Twilight Walk [Aiko/Samantha]

"Karakura Town. The most secure place there ever was...." The soft murmur from Samantha echoed through the empty road. It wasn't in great shape, but then again, a lot of roads were a little dingy. It'd been cleared enough for cars to make it through, but not being a main road, it had received less than full attention.

"A big ol Gem in the middle of crusty cheeks valley. Tch, look at all the hills around here. Makes ya wonder eh?" Cold piped up from his spot holstered at her hip. Sam glanced down at her partner and put on something of a playful smirk. "They SAY these used to be mountains. But don't you worry your little head, Colt. We're not here for the City. We're just here to take a look...... around..." She paused when she sensed someone nearby. Looking to her left. "ey, lookit that. Someone else is out here sightseeing. We should go say hi." She reached down and GRIPPED his slide stop FIRMLY. "OWOWOWOWOWO! Okay Okay, YOU! You should go say Hi" Colt quickly corrected himself.

Sam just shook her head and dismounted from her motorcycle. Kicking up the stand and then vanishing with a flicker of spiritual energy. Appearing a short distance from Aiko. A ways away, no need to go barging in. However, she did perk up just a little when she noticed the sudden stirr from the woman. Hm, they had good instincts. Or were just paranoid and lucky. Sam didn't care either way. She gave one last press of her thumb down on Colt's handle, a reminder to keep his opinions to himself, as Sam strolled out into the open.

"Sorry. Didn't mean to spook ya. You from around here, Miss?" She asked calmly enough. Her voice was a bit on the deeper end, but still soft and feminine. She was dressed in her usual getup. A black leather jacket and matching pants, though the jacket was unzipped to show a tanktop. Nothing fancy. Certainly there was fancier.

That answer garnered a perked brow from Sam. "The forest huh... Not where I'd have expected someone like you to come out of I'll admit that." She noted idly, glancing in the direction of the nearest forest, that was quite a hike from there to the City. Even so... But well, THAT wasn't really her business. Not like she was here to investigate this girl or nothing. Though that question caused Sam to smile just a little.

"You'd think that." She murmured with a bit of a smirk. She couldn't even count all the times she'd seen some idiot with a lot of luck out here in the wilderness who wouldn't fight their way out of a paper bag. Still. "I'm something of a.... self employed kinda gal. Don't worry your pretty head over little ol me. You heading back into the city?" She ventured with a slight nod of her head toward the Town itself. Though fortress might be a more apt descriptor. She planned on giving it as wide a berth as possibly, truth be told.

Samantha couldn't help but smirk just a little at that, a gentle chuckle escaping her lips. "Training your powers? You're a spiritual huh? And brave enough to go looking for trouble to improve yourself." She pointed out, lightly crossing her arms across her chest. Vaguely wondering if this girl's parents were somewhere fretting about her. Hmmmm, well, it was a coin toss these days. Plenty of orphans.

The thought got rid of her smile.

"Nope. Big cities I can handle. But well. I dont' much enjoy a bubble that thick. Makes it feel more like a prison than shelter." She stated simply enough. "I'll probably end up camping out here till morning. Then I'll probably ride on through. Maybe stay a day or two if there are any other more..... open, towns or villages." She pulled out her phone and paused to eye the map. These things were so fickle somtimes. She could only wonder how often they got to be updated. "Supposedly there's a village not that far off. Don't suppose if you know wether it's still around?" She ventured, holding up her phone to show the spot she was talking about.

Sam paused, raising a brow slightly. She didn't really remember asking what the girl preferred to be called, but she wasn't going to make a fuss over it. Though as the girl spoke about ...clicking. Samantha could only give a slightly confused look. "That so? Good for you kiddo." It felt even awkward to say, but really she wasn't sure what else to say about that. It felt weirdly.....familiar? Kids these days. Still, at the very least the girl seemed to know about the village. The girl sure did like to share huh?

It really wasn't hard to tell that this girl was lonely. The familiar way she was speaking, and continuing to sortof traipse into her own personal stuff in the midst of conversation. She was familiar with the type. Hm. For a moment she simply considered giving the girl a 'thanks' for the info and just keep rolling on. But some small part of her got a bit ....hung up on all that. Hm.

"Well, tell you what I'm probably gonna make camp for the evening. You should run off back to your home, but if you're out and about tomorrow, maybe I'll see you out there when I go to check it out." She reasoned. There would probably be a couple hollows out there, but nothing she didn't feel she'd be able to handle. And hey, this girl seemed pretty competent. IF she got a job while she was in the area, she might even get a bit of free help. Here was to hoping.

Well, that was certainly easy. All the more concerning to Samantha, but well, better the girl wind up hanging out with her than someone less savory. So long as she kept Colt quiet... She glanced to her hip as if to warn the Mod soul before looking back to Aiko.

"I wake up pretty early. But I wasn't really planning on getting a move on till noon. I usually like to get a bit of a lay of the land whenever I go through somewhere new. And evenm if I'm not keen on Karakura. the surrounding area is still an interesting place. I'll be around." She assured the girl. Discretely sidestepping the offer of getting the girl's number for now. She preferred to be a bit tight lipped with her own contact information after all.
