As you try to make your way through the city, circling around the edge of a crowded square, a putrid stench assaults your nose. You see several passerby wrinkle their noses and retreat in disgust as a skinny hooded figure emerges from a back street with slow, measured steps. Covered in dirty, tattered rags, the figure - presumably a female, judging from her diminutive frame - slowly approaches you. Spare a coin for a poor soul, sir? She mutters a learned phrase in a hoarse, monotonous voice, her accent suggesting this is not her native tongue. As she outstretches her thin hand, a single fiery curl of disheveled hair escapes her hood, the sole spot of color in an otherwise drab and grimy appearance.

"Hungry are we? Come here, little elf." KaiKan pats his pocket and retrieves a coin. "Don't you wish for something warm to eat?" He says softly with a smile, feeling sorry for her. He then whispers close to the elf ear: "You know, there are many food stalls around here..."

Her pale green eyes light up at the mere mention of food and warmth, and she nods eagerly, mouth watering in anticipation. "Yes, I... I am very hungry," she whispers hoarsely. With her slender hand still outstretched, she looks hopefully at KaiKan. The elf's thin body shudders slightly from the cold, and even through the rags, her ribcage can be clearly seen beneath pale skin. Her breath comes out in white puffs as she waits patiently for his next move.

Cibia looks at you with large eyes full of hope and gratitude. You notice that her stomach is slightly swollen, but she probably has not eaten in days. Your heart aches for her and you suddenly wish there was more you could do to help.

Cibia carefully takes the coin and nods gratefully, her eyes never leaving yours as she places it in a pocket hidden deep within her rags. "Thank you... Thank you very much," she whispers softly, her voice hoarse from disuse. Glancing around nervously, she hesitates before asking tentatively, "Do you know where I could find some food? It's been so long since I've eaten..."

You should try over there, they have some stalls with cheap eats... But you should be careful, sometimes people in the market are not very nice to those like us. Maybe if I come with you, it would make things easier? You could show me where the best places are... Just for today, you know, just so we can both feel a little better...
