The preparations didn't take very long, before noon, they were on a cart heading north. The cart was drawn by a young chocobo, Erik's bird named Fury. Gifted to him by Juliette when he joined the watch, the chocobo was a few years old now, and Erik had spent that time training him into both a combative partner and a utilitarian companion. The cart itself carried the provisions they would need, food for the three day trip, changes of clothing and warmer clothes, Erik's equipment and the bird's own set of armor. As they passed into the middle of Central Thanalan, the thought that had been bothering Erik had finally come to a head in his mind, "Eydis.... what is your real name?"
