You continue your exploration

After exiting the candy stand you look around, you were kind of expecting the stores to be more magical but they're all fairly mundane. Various places with particular styles of Robes, fine jewelry, children's toys, specialty food stands, herb stores, many jav cafes at least the mirror store had a particularly magical purpose. You passed what looked like a place to store your coins but weren't about to drop your entire net worth into a magical tray and poof it away. You came across a couple closed looking pubs that might attract some clients later in the day or maybe they just operate when guild events are in town.

What really strikes you is how deserted the whole place is. You remember Tritera saying that when times were good with the outside world few casters bothered staying in the city. You wonder if during times of strife this street would be bubbling with activity. As you walk through the empty streets you look up and see a magnificent castle wall peak out far above the three story buildings on the left side. You wished you had asked Tritera for a basic layout of the city but you decide to take the next turn on your left and start heading in the direction of the large structure.

As you turn the corner you nearly run right into a group of four sorcerers going the opposite direction. They are wearing a variety of colorful robes one each of red, yellow, green and blue. They're much younger than the last men, probably no older than 20, and they're just as surprised to see you as you are to see them. The man in the blue robe reacts first, kind of.

Blue sorcerer : "Oh, hello..."

You start trying to reply only to be inhibited by the lollipop still filling up your mouth.You pull the sweet out of your lips. Every one of them is paying close attention to this maneuver making you blush deeply.

Jessica : "hello..."

It's kind of cute how flustered they are.

Green sorcerer : "haven't seen you around, are you new?"

The other boys nod in agreement.

Jessica : "yeah... I just arrived a few days ago..."

They're recovering rapidly from their surprise at running into someone unfamiliar in the city.

The blue sorcerer is once again quickest.

Jason : "sorry for our rudeness, it's really quite rare to run into anyone new on the street, even the older students that can mirror walk rarely bother going anywhere on foot. I'm Jason, this is Peroh"

He says indicating the green sorcerer.

Jason : "and this is Astin he says pointing to the red sorcerer"

Plano : "and I'm Plano"

Says the yellow sorcerer.
