'What would Aggie do? I'll ask her once she gets back from Duvik--Oo, I know--children!'
"I think I'll start by befriending these children."
*Aletheia will head over to the children with her best friendly smile, fondly remembering her recent charity work with the children of Orussus. Children really are such gentle innocent little things. And yet it is said that great wisdom lies in the simple words of a child. If she can surmise that one child is a leader or more charismatic alpha of the group, she approaches that one. Otherwise she approaches the friendliest-looking.*
"Hey their champ/little lady (OOC: Pick the appropriate greeting for gender). That game looks like fun. What game are you playing? My name is Allie. Can I play?"

*She hopes to play with the children for a while to earn their trust. She works with children a lot, so she knows how to relate to them. She's willing to wait out the game for a little while. Even if it's a competitive game where an adult should obviously win, she'll make sure to make the kids look good. Eventually, she will get to business...after a fashion.*
"Wow, you guys are too good for me!" Aletheia protests with a laugh, "Listen, I'm a healer, and I've come here to help and to look for something. Is there anyone here in town who could use a healer's touch, anyone who is sick or in need of aid? Also, have you ever heard of a shrine in the forest near here?"
