Not everyone walks calmly into the streets of the Nexus. Not everyone is so distracted as to not see when the stones shift and the shops and buildings aren’t quite the same. She’s staring down into a sketchbook in her hands and muttering to herself for a fair distance before it even occurs to her to look up. Light brown eyes peer out from a mess of dark curls pinned up around her shoulders. She purses her lips in some amount of confusion and looks to her left, her right, and finally turns about in a small circle.

This stocky stranger traces her gaze over the various buildings as she slowly closes the sketchbook and returns it to a satchel strung across her shoulder by a long strap. After a moment of taking in her surroundings, she nods quietly and sighs. She shifts two things strapped across her back and shoulders: a satchel bag and a large pole with one end wrapped up in cloth. In less than a minute, she has the bag slung around her shoulders and over her back in the style of a backpack. The pole finds it’s way into her hands, the covered end pointing upward as she turns in a slow circle.

“This is…different.” Her voice is soft and deep, but quickly taking on a worried tone. The pole rests in the crook of one arm as she gathers up her skirt to tie off around her waist. Her leather sandals gently hug her all the way up to her knees. “All right, I’ll bite. Who did I offend this time?”

"Uh huh!" Orko nodded to confirm the presence of magic. "Interestingly it's difficult for me to tell what kind of magic. My theory is that it is a blend of different sorts. Kinda makes sense if this place is a hub dimension that connects many." At the pretty woman saying that it was an honor to share names - Orko clasped his hands and hunched a little. Clearly bashful.

The description of her abilities caught his attention and his long tapered ears perked up a little. "Ohhh that kind of sounds like a form of conjuring!" He said, impressed. "Do you summon it by simply imagining it in your mind, or do you replicate what you can see? I bet that skill comes in real handy!"
