Sam pause just long enough to search the sea of people around the enterance to the Quicksand. No hooded miqo'te so Sam quickly rush through the crowd, touching the aethernet crystal and teleported up to the enterance to the airship deck. He didn't even wait to reorient himself, throwing himself in a stumble up the stairs. He caught himself against the wall as his bad leg try to go out on him.
"Did a miqo'te in robs pass by here?" he asked. Seeing the sworn nod. "I need to get up there now. He's trying to go awol."
"Of course sir. But it's been a few minutes since he went up the elevator."
He understood what the sworn wasn't saying. That Sam may be too late to catch John. 'Yet,' he thought, diving into the elevator, 'that the ship hasn't left.' He didn't wait for the door to open fully, stumbling out just as he hear the ship pulling away. "No, no, no," he whisper. Still he might be able to catch him on the next airship. He rush up the short hall, mind trying to puzzle out why the attendant was staring into a corner. It was only when he came into the main area that he realize why the attendant was staring at and for that moment, Captain Samuel Robinton allow himself to collapse in relief.

Several minutes earlier
John stood for a second, allowing himself to reorient himself, and search his small pouch for the gil he would need for the airship. He ignore the burn in his eyes as new tears threaten to fall. 'It better this way...' he thought to himself, trying to push away the needy ache in his soul, to forget the way Howl's lips had felt on his own. 'I can't help anyone...and I can't allow myself to be a threat to them...' He ran up to the Sworn guarding the gate to the airships, pulling the hood down farther over his face. "I need to get to the airship, now," he said, glad that his voice was at least holding steady even if it still sounded heartbroken.
Stepping out of the elevator, he rush up to the counter. "I need a ticket to Grindania..." he said, voice quiet. It would be a moment later that he realize the pro and cons of hooded robs. Yes, the hood hided his face but it also block his side vision as well. So as he waited for the attendant to let him through the gate, he didn't realize that the Arbiter was already there, waiting on him.
