K'haaliThalen: This is what i hoped we might find
K'ileTwinflame: I said I don't like cold wet places. So they doung hte coldest, wettest place they could.
K'luhaHaaz: It could be worse.
K'haaliThalen grins
K'ileTwinflame gestures to the Efts, "You're right. There could be efts."
K'luhaHaaz: There ARE efts.
K'ileTwinflame: Nooo.
K'luhaHaaz laughs at you.
K'ileTwinflame: Before either of you says it, we aren't living in any caves!
K'ailiaYohko: I agree K'ile
K'luhaHaaz: I don't think any of us were seriously considering that.
K'ileTwinflame: Just making sure.
K'haaliThalen looks quizziclly, having missed the conversation
K'ailiaYohko: Hmm... that way leads ta eastern thanalan.
K'luhaHaaz pulls out her map from her boot again and glances down. "So... it seems we can go east or north from here pretty easily. Which way shouled we go?"
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'ailiaYohko: hmm I got an idea!
K'haaliThalen: The ground here must be host to a huge ant hive; I doubt anywhere within miles of here is habitable
K'ailiaYohko pulls out a single gil and tosses it in the air "Heads we go north, tails we go east"
K'luhaHaaz frowns as she looks to the north. "Wait, the north is all industrialized... "
K'ailiaYohko 's coin lands tails up
K'ileTwinflame: We shouldn't be leaving this to a coin-flip.
K'ailiaYohko laughs.
K'luhaHaaz: East is...
K'luhaHaaz trails off and goes quiet.
K'ailiaYohko: East is Drybone.
K'haaliThalen: I can't see the guardian through this mist...
K'ileTwinflame: Guardian?
K'haaliThalen: Azeyma, the sun!
K'ailiaYohko: Come ta' think o' it, east had a lot' o' open land.
K'ileTwinflame looks up, "Oh. Of course."
K'haaliThalen: She'd show us east from west
K'ileTwinflame: Ask K'ailia's map which way is east.
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'ailiaYohko: that way
K'ileTwinflame: Alright.
((...walking...))
K'ileTwinflame: They've got some crazy rocks around here!
K'ileTwinflame: Damned frogs.
((Killingfrogs at the Unholy Heir))
K'ailiaYohko: frog legs anyone?
K'ailiaYohko bursts out laughing.
K'ileTwinflame: No thanks.
((Theparty zones into Eastern Thanalan, going from cloudy skies to sudden torrential downpour!))
K'luhaHaaz: Gah.
K'luhaHaaz shivers from the sudden change in temperature and going from dry to soaked.
K'haaliThalen shouts over the storm. "I thought you said the mist would clear!"
K'ailiaYohko: eeep!
K'luhaHaaz: Well, I THOUGHT it would!
K'ailiaYohko puts her hood up
K'ileTwinflame lays his ears flat against his head, "Dammit. This is... Kind of nice, but cold."
K'ileTwinflame: Cold and wet.
K'ailiaYohko: an' the town out here be called drybone.
K'ailiaYohko: How did it get its name with this rain?
K'luhaHaaz: Ha.
K'haaliThalen: On the upside, can we really complain about extra water?
K'luhaHaaz: We can find shelter out here somewhere while the storm passes.
K'ileTwinflame: Rain like this in the desert can cause flooding.
K'ailiaYohko: no actually, I kinda like it
K'haaliThalen: If it rains, we can try growing crops
K'ailiaYohko: Aye drybone very close
K'ailiaYohko: we can go ta the inn or the church
K'haaliThalen: Those moles don't look very threatening; but plenty fat
K'ileTwinflame: We don't need shleter. Just listen for any waterwalls or mudslides.

K'ileTwinflame: Now I know I smell carcasses here.
K'luhaHaaz crouches under the oning and shivers. "It's fucking cold."
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'haaliThalen: Reeks of death yet everyone here is acting normally...
K'luhaHaaz: That's because everything that dies in Thanalan comes here to its final resting place.
K'ailiaYohko: I found shelter!
K'ailiaYohko: I found shelter
K'ileTwinflame crosses his arms, looking up at the oning, "We're wasting time."
K'haaliThalen raises an eyebrow at K'ailia declaring the "place where things come to die" as a palce for them to go
K'ailiaYohko: So what shall we do?
K'luhaHaaz gets up, a bit irritated and holds her arms tightly across her chest. "Alright, fine. Get going. I'll follow."
K'ailiaYohko nods to you.
K'ailiaYohko: Well... followin' roads takes us inta settlements.
K'haaliThalen: If K'ile had brought a shirt, he could offer it to you right about now.
K'ailiaYohko: So maybe we should go off road?
K'haaliThalen offers an impish grin
K'ileTwinflame weathers K'luha's irritation briefly, then shakes his head. "You look like a sad, wet old cat." He looks to K'ailia, "We can take shelter for a few minutes. Rain like this can't last too long, right?"
K'haaliThalen: Anywhere that has roads is obviously bleonging to, or clsoe to ul'dar property
K'ailiaYohko: Aye, the inn is over there
K'haaliThalen: it's not like we can see much through the storm.
K'luhaHaaz: Who are you calling old?
K'ailiaYohko points.
K'haaliThalen: I'll be easier to survey by daylight
K'ailiaYohko: Oh an they dun allow chocobos in there.
K'luhaHaaz grumbles irritably and follows anyway.
K'haaliThalen leads K'weh away
![[Image: 2249021.jpg]](http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1561967/pics/original/2249021.jpg)
K'ailiaYohko pulls her hood down and shakes the water everywhere off herself.
K'haaliThalen: I think that was the stables... until they do fried chocobo out here.
K'ileTwinflame: We'll just wait out the storm. Just that.
K'luhaHaaz wrinkles her nose and wrings out her hair. "Smells like dead bodies."
K'haaliThalen: Are you sure this is "that" kind of resting place?
K'ileTwinflame tosses his bow against a wall, rings out his bandana, drops into the seat next to K'luha. "I didn't say you were old. I said you looked like an old cat."
K'ailiaYohko: Well gotta say one thin'
K'luhaHaaz shivered violently next to K'ile before glancing at him a bit darkly. "So I just look old then?"
K'ailiaYohko: We wont want fer water.
K'ailiaYohko: Get some pots, set em outside the tents an' we'd have plenty o water.
K'ailiaYohko laughs.
![[Image: 2249022.jpg]](http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1561967/pics/original/2249022.jpg)
K'ileTwinflame shakes his head at K'luha, and his hair throws drops of water, "Old cats don't look old. They're jsut cats."
K'ailiaYohko delivers a confident smirk.
K'luhaHaaz grumbled irritably and reached over to pinch K'ile's arm. "Are you telling me I look like an old lady or not?"
K'luhaHaaz is annoyed with you.
K'ailiaYohko: K'ile I think yer diggin' yerself a big hole.
K'ailiaYohko: Better ta jes say sowwy an' nod.
K'ailiaYohko nods.
K'haaliThalen dozes off quietly.
K'ileTwinflame glares at K'ailia, "Just leave me to die, okay?" and then to K'luha, "No, I'm not."
K'luhaHaaz: So say it properly then. What are you saying?
K'ailiaYohko falls on the floor laughing and rolling around.
K'haaliThalen dodges the topic by feigning tiredness
K'ileTwinflame crosses his arms, "Well starting now I'm not saying anything."
K'luhaHaaz: Don't be a baby. Tell me properly. And K'ailia, don't be rude.
K'ailiaYohko: I am gonna go out an' see if I can get the elements ta stop drownin' us.
K'ileTwinflame: I'm not being a-... What, do you want me to call you old? I'm older than you are. I was just saying you looked all cold and sad!
K'haaliThalen watches her go
NathalaneeReinhart ducked in out of the rain, grumbling a bit.
K'ileTwinflame glances past K'luha, "And now you chased the girls off by being scary too."
K'luhaHaaz: I don't want you to call me old. You could have just said that in the first place.
K'luhaHaaz sighed and glanced down to the ground, going quiet.
NathalaneeReinhart raised an eyebrow, looking over towards K'ile and K'luha for a moment.
K'ileTwinflame sighs and stands, "you're only as old is you feel. Don't listen to what I say."
K'ailiaYohko waves to K'haali Thalen.
K'haaliThalen looks at K'ailia. "I think the old guys are still going at it in there"
K'luhaHaaz stays quiet, looking somehow mournfully at the ground.
K'ailiaYohko: oi oi.
K'ailiaYohko: Ol' people move slow, an' worry about weird stuff.
K'ailiaYohko nods to K'haali Thalen.
K'ailiaYohko: I am gonna ask around about the surroundin' areas.
NathalaneeReinhart spun around on her heel after a few moments and headed back out, shielding her grimoire under her arm again.
K'haaliThalen looks at a sky made of wet blankets. "I, think it might be clearring up?"
K'haaliThalen: Who'm i kidding...
NathalaneeReinhart: "That was bloody awkward."
K'ileTwinflame tries to come up with something to say but can't manage. After a moment he mutters something incoherent and walks towards the door.
K'luhaHaaz looks to K'ile as he walks off, but says nothing and looking back to the ground sadly.
NathalaneeReinhart moved to stand more or less in the doorway of the armoury, reaching up to wring a bit of water out of her ponytail.
K'ileTwinflame: Hey, Kailia!
K'ailiaYohko: This man at the tavern.
K'ailiaYohko: Said ther-
Youwave to K'ailia Yohko.
K'ailiaYohko: yeah
K'luhaHaaz's eyes brim over with tears.
K'ileTwinflame looks past her at K'haali, then back to K'ailia, "Uh, what's going on?"
K'ailiaYohko: I went an' asked around about the surroundin' area.
![[Image: 2249023.jpg]](http://assets-cloud.enjin.com/users/1561967/pics/original/2249023.jpg)
K'ileTwinflame: Ah. And... There goes your mom. Great.
K'haaliThalen shrugs. "I couldn't say, I've been seeing if I can out-stare the clouds."
K'ailiaYohko: This man at the tavern said there's a spot with a dead Goobbue that has grown a paradise o' plants an stuff.
K'ailiaYohko: Oi! what did ya do?!
K'ileTwinflame: I think I called her old or something. Someone should get after her.
K'ailiaYohko: I will.
K'ileTwinflame: Okay, thank you!
((K'ilewaits a long time. K'haali wanders off, leaving him alone.))
K'ileTwinflame stands alone for a time before muttering. "Damn women." And venturing back out into the rain.
