[[ I'm so sorry for my lateinvolvement in this. It was a combination of forgetting and irl stuff. ]]
Â
Itwas a long fall in the rain from the top of the bridge to the cold water below. Numerous thoughts raced through Jin's mind but the one that stood out was, "Who set this up?" These thoughts were interrupted however once he hit the cold, dark water. He was breathless for an instant as the sudden temperature change shocked his body but being raised in the Gyr Abania Mountains, he recovered quickly.Â
Â
Jintook a deep breath before submerging into the salty water to search for the Elezen man, or what was left of him. He never trusted anyone a hundred percent when it came to business deals. "If this was indeed a set up and not a normal ambush," he thought, "then that corpse should have some sort of useful information on it." Jin's efforts were in vain however. All he managed to find was the coat the elezen was wearing. The pockets had massives in them but anything that would have been legible was lost thanks to the ocean. With a big gasp Jin resurfaced with the coat in hand.
Â
"Hello?"Jin said over his link pearl, "Hey all I found of the elezen was his coat. His body is probably fish food now." He waited for a reply but was greeted with only silence. "Must be some aether interference," he thought to himself as he swam the up the channel, heading to the Moraby Dry-docks. Apart from the ambush and the rain it was a pleasant enough swim. Seagulls could be heard overhead and the breaking of the waves was relaxing.Â
Â
Therain come to a small drizzle as Jin made it to the docks, his eyes adjusted to the sun breaking the clouds. "Hello? Mikh'a are you there? I could really use that satchel back." but still Jin was met with silence. "Looks like it's small clothes for the day," he said with a sigh as he made his way the ferry-skipper.
Â
"Excuseme my good man, would this boat be heading towards Limsa?" Jin asked to the back side of an old midlander loading a boat.
Â
"Sureis and ifin ya looking fora ride, ya can help me wit these here boxes." the man said is a pleasant enough tone.
Â
"Perfect,"Jin said happily as he began to load the rest of the cargo into the small boat.
Â
"I'maglad ya needed a ride son, these bo-" the man was cut off as he saw the almost naked miqo'te that was loading cargo. "Son.....were're ya clothes?" his tone flat and confused.
Â
"Lostthem in a bet I'm afraid, save for my coat here that is." Jin said with a laugh.Â
Â
Theold man let out a hardy laugh, "Gwahahaha! I see yer mates pulled one on ya eh? Well hop in and I'll see ya git to town."
Â
Jinlied back and rested in the sun, trying to dry off while mulling over the events that happened. He wondered if any of the other Wings ran into trouble and maybe that's why he wasn't having any luck reaching them. Maybe a syndicate member got information on what was being transported and wanted it for his own. Could it have been a setup from someone inside the Wings? Why didn't he just leave his bag on the bridge and come back for it instead of giving it to Mikh'a to hold on to.
Â
"Quityer day dreamin', were here." The old man said as he pulled the boat up to the pier next to the fisherman's guild.
Â
"Thanksfor the ride pops," Jin said with a smile as he hoped off the boat and headed up the dock. "This is Jin calling out to any Red Wings in Limsa," Jin said quietly into his link pearl. "I'm heading towards the Drowning Wench; if there's anyone here I ask that you meet me there." It was a nice day to not have a decent set of clothes, there was a slight breeze and the sun was shining brightly now.Â
Â
Jinmade his way towards the upper decks of Limsa, all the while maintaining a confident stride. It wasn't the first time he found himself walking through the streets of a major city in his small clothes. He attracted several glances and stares as he went through Hawker's Ally. "Ladies," he said with a smirk and a bow to a group of roegadyn ladies passing him by, his ears twitched as they giggled.
Â
Jinmade his way to a table in the Drowned Wench and sat down as he looked over a menu. "Be with you in a second!" said miqo'te gal that was working at a table behind him.Â
Â
"Hellosir wha-" she cut herself off as she saw her new customer.
Â
"Yesyes, a man in his small clothes," Jin said nonchalantly, "Please my dear, would you be ever so kind as to get me a warm cup of tea and a pair of pants?"
Â
"I-I'llsee what I can do," she said flusteredly.
Â
"Thankyou my dear," Jin said with a smile as he leaned back in his chair. He stared at the ceiling and waited for his tea, a nice dry pair of pants, and hopefully some answers as to what happened at the bridge.
