6th Sun
4th Astral Moon
I've been following this Lucas guy around for a bit. I didn't really mean to, at first, but now I think it might be a good idea. He's set on taking this caravan to Gridania. I can't afford it, but I could follow it. They don't travel that fast, anyway. Certainly not as fast as the prey P'ktralan and me used to hunt. If I can follow a drake for four days, I'm pretty sure I can follow something as ungainly as a caravan.
We ended up at the Adventurer's Guild. Maybe he meant to pick up some advice, not sure. He was carrying around a clipboard. A clipboard, of all things. Seems more like a merchant than a traveler or an adventurer.
I roamed a bit--there were sure a lot of people there. I saw two other miqo'te and tried to talk to them, but neither of them paid me any attention. Good thing they are city-bound, cause out where I come from, that level of inattention is likely to get you killed and eaten by something sneakier than you.Â
Luckily I did end up coming across someone who at least knew how to talk. He turned out to be a cleric named Ghalon... Ghalleon? Ghalleon, I think. Yeah, he was nice, and answered my questions. Even invited me and Lucas to sit with him a bit. He EVEN invited me to visit the Ossuary in Ul'dah, where he works or something? I don't know, never been there, but clerics are supposed to be pretty good people, so I might swing by before I leave town.
They have houses for baths, here. Bath houses. Ghalleon and Lucas told me a bit about them, probably because I stink like the road, though at least Ghalleon was polite about it. Lucas looked like his nose would fall clean off his face for scrunching it so much. And come on, it wasn't that bad... Can't help it that there's not exactly many water sources in the freaking desert, or available to the refugees outside Ul'dah. Anyway... I did go to one. Ghalleon fixed it up with his friend who owned the place, a Lalafell woman. She let me sneak a bath in just before closing, for free. It was pretty great, I admit.
