Adeya glanced up towards the sky as a drop of water fell square on the center of her head, and then scowled in annoyance as another hit her on the nose. “Of course it would rain,†she mutters under her breath as she pulls her long blue coat closer around herself. Ironically, she normally liked rain, which made her even more cross that it had decided to happen now, as almost despite herself she was curious about what was going to happen here.
Shaking her head, she trudges onward, secretly being glad that she had decided to wear both coat and boots for this endeavor. She almost felt bad for the people gathered up ahead: some of them looked as if they had come for the hot springs rather than a trek out to the La Noscean ruins. With the rain coming down, some of them had to be getting cold…
Wait a minute, why were those people standing there?
“Excuse me,†she calls out as she struggles to make out anything over the heads of hyurs and elezen much taller than herself—then when that doesn’t work the small miqo’te pushes her way to the front of the crowd, ignoring the nasty looks a few people throw her way. It was all worth it in the end after all, as when she got up there she was met with a rather strange sight. A woman staring down what looked like a rather large salamander. That just wasn’t something you saw every day.
“That seems a tad excessive,†she remarks mildly as she takes a few steps forward. Absentmindedly one of her hands drifts down to the spellbook at her side as she studies the creature in front of them. Truth be told, her spells would probably do as much damage to the creature as the woman’s fists, unless she could convince it to chase after a carbuncle or something. And given how content the creature seemed where it was, she didn’t think that was likely.
For a moment she glances back towards the rest of the crowd, to see if anyone else had any ideas.
