Jancis Milburga: "Sir Aporo."
Koporo Aporo "Miss Jancis."
Jancis Milburga: "I am so happy you came. It is good to have a benevolent presence here."
Koporo Aporo "I spent most o' my life out in the Sagoli...I 'ad no idear Nald'Thal meant so much to th' citizenry."
Jancis Milburga: "Is truly an important part of the Jewel. After the troubles of late it is nice to remember what we trade our pains for."
Jancis Milburga: "Have you been well of late? Lady Meli is sure to need you in these days."
Koporo Aporo "Th'most I were told o' Nald'Thal were a story o' how the Trader took up death t'spare Althyk the burden o' runnin' endless time...."
Koporo Aporo "A cycle, created fer each other's sake."
Jancis Milburga: "Truly? It is amazing to me how powerful it is, that two must share such a burden. Makes you realize how valuable life is."
Koporo Aporo "Someone's got t'run th'world. It ain't an easy job..."
Leanne Delphium stops herself as Vaughn, take off. Slinging her bow-harp to her back, she looks both to Kopo and Jancis. "...Hope my tale was enjoyable to you...I...honestly began to feel overly nervous."
Koporo Aporo "I'll give my offerin's to th'Trader, but my patron will always be th'Keeper, if'n it's all the same t'ya."
Jancis Milburga: "I could not tell. It was beautiful."
Leanne Delphium sighs, smiling faintly. "Sorry if I messed up any part, anyhow...! I gotta admit...crowds are...scary..."
Jancis Milburga: "I have to admit I am a bit breathless right now after all the stories."
Jancis Milburga nods in agreement, nervous, "So many came."
Koporo Aporo "Is it alright if'n I pray in m'native tongue?"
Jancis Milburga: "Of course. Please do."
Koporo Aporo prays solemnly.
Leanne Delphium nods. "How you're holding, Ms. Jancis?" she asks before waving to Edda. "And you, Ms. Edda?"
Edda Eglantine smiles underneath her cowl. "I am well, Leanne. And yourself?"
Leanne Delphium: "Uhm...trying to relax at the moment...crowds are scary...very scary..."
Leanne Delphium smiles sheepishly. Even having the tale committed to memory didn't help."
Edda Eglantine: "I suppose they can be quite unnerving, but this has been rather calming all the same. Please, excuse me for a moment."
Leanne Delphium nods, lifting herself.

Leanne Delphium: "Oh, Mr. Iron...!"
Iron Sea bows courteously to Leanne Delphium.
Leanne Delphium tips her hat. "Hope you enjoyed my tale, and the evening, overall...!" she giggles, grinning widely to the man.
Iron Sea: "Is it a surprise to see me here? "He raised a brow to her. "I did, thank you for sharing such Miss Leanne. "
Leanne Delphium snickers. "More or less. Few strikes me as the religious sort. But as life always proves me, and yet proves me today too...we are full of misconceptions. So, yet! Another misconception broken." she smiles warmly.
Iron Sea: "I am a man of this land now, I'd do well to ensure I remain part of it's workings. Besides, Miss Jancis was present...I would not miss it. "Iron left out the fact he made no prayers himself, though not for the reasons one might presume.
Edda Eglantine: "Your presence here is a great comfort, Iron."
Iron Sea: "Then I have served my purpose well my Lady. "
Iron Sea bows courteously to Edda Eglantine.
Edda Eglantine: "Will you offer no prayers yourself?"
Iron Sea: "......It would not be needed. "He said plainly, trying to find a way to word it that would not draw unwanted attention.
Leanne Delphium grins. "It is what I said to Mr. Iron. The gods don't wish much in return." she bows her head to otto before moving to pray.
Leanne Delphium prays solemnly.
Edda Eglantine stares at the statue in reflection for a long moment, offering a wordless prayer at its feet.
Iron Sea seemed rather prone, eyes closed as he internally processed quite a bit. Â For him, he spoke not a name...not a word at all.
Leanne Delphium bowed her head profusely, hands being held together as she mumbles a little secret prayer of her own. Raising her head, she looks to Iron, deciding to pat his shoulder lightly.

Leanne Delphium: "Hey Aya, Ms. Crofte...!"
Leanne Delphium tips her hat with a big smile.
Aya Foxheart: "Hello Leanne~"
Coatleque Crofte smiles at Leanne Delphium.
Aya Foxheart blinks and looks around for a moment before her eyes focus on Coatleque, "Ser.. Crofte..."
Coatleque Crofte: "Miss Delphium."
Leanne Delphium: "How's the event's being for you two?"
Aya Foxheart: "I didn't recognize you!"
Aya Foxheart: "Much needed, Leanne!"
Coatleque Crofte: "It was quite enjoyable. Â The music, the stories, the poetry. Â Very touching."
Coatleque Crofte: "I look forward to the next pilgrimage."
Leanne Delphium grins happily. "Agreed. After seeing these tales, I noticed I still have a lot to learn before being a master poet...!"
Aya Foxheart: "I didn't know you were a poet, Leanne~"
Leanne Delphium grins and lightly knocks her chest. "Inside this chest, a romantic heart beats Aya!"
Aya Foxheart grins, "I have no doubt about that! I'll have to hear your poetry sometime!"
Leanne Delphium shakes her head, waving her hands embarrassedly. "Naah...I still gotta learn! As I said! Still a young poet!"
Leanne Delphium: "I'd rather...learn more before sharing more poetry...!"
Aya Foxheart looks thoughtful for a moment, "Aww.. Leanne, I hope you will share sometime~" she smiles and nods to Edda, "Thank you, its my pleasure, such a lovely time.
Leanne Delphium: "Someday Aya. When my words are more...skillfully."
Aya Foxheart: "I am sure they are already lovely~"
Leanne Delphium: "Hmm....waaah..."
Leanne Delphium blushes, adjusting her hat. "I don't know....I just shared a tale to a giant crowd...made me see how people are scary...!"
Aya Foxheart smiles and nods, "You just need practice, you'll get over.. I think..."
Aya Foxheart: "There's nothing like a crowd when it cheers, though..."
Leanne Delphium smiles sheepishly. "Would you believe me the thought of them cheering seems even more scarier?"
Aya Foxheart grins and shakes her head, "It might seem that way now, but it won't in that moment."

Kale Aideron realizes Leanne was one of the performers, giving a polite and wide smile, "Oh, ah..." he is conscious of interrupting, "Good job with your performance, that was real nice, that was"
Leanne Delphium blushes and lowers her hat. "...See what I meant Aya..." she takes a deep breath to compose herself, afterwards beaming brightly to Kale. "Thank you sir. I do hope you liked my tale! Even if I might have stumbled a bit at it..."
Kale Aideron lifts his shoulders, smirking gently, "I couldn't tell if you did stumble..." he just smiles; apparently that's all he had to say!
Aya Foxheart smiles nodding, "It was lovely, hmmm? I'm glad you enjoyed too!"
Leanne Delphium smiles anyhow, his words bringing a degree of comfort to her heart. "Anyhow! The event's being lovely!" she chuckles. "Came more people than I would expect. Even those who doesn't believe much in the gods took their prayers."
Kale Aideron turns his smile to Aya, "Ah, 'course...'nyway, think I'm off to Camp Drybone...make use of the tavern there"
Aya Foxheart: "Its a nice spot, for a dusty little town!"
Aya Foxheart: "What about you Leanne, do you have any plans tonight?"
Leanne Delphium smiles sheepishly. "Yes...my usual life scouring the land...plus some overdue leves."
Aya Foxheart: "Work~"
Kale Aideron puts his hands on his hips, gesturing at them both, "You two are more than welcome to come 'long, so I ain't by myself...'nd..." he looks up to invite the stranger Xydane, until he notices who he is speaking to.
Aya Foxheart: "I wouldn't mind a little something in Drybone on the way home."
Kale Aideron nods at Aya with a friendly smile, "All right, that's one..." he then looks to Leanne curiously.
Leanne Delphium: "Hm?"
Leanne Delphium looks back, cocking her head to the right with curiosity.
Kale Aideron: The tavern in Camp Drybone? Fancy it?
Leanne Delphium shakes her head, smiling. "Sorrowfully, can't...work to do..."
Leanne Delphium: "Overdue work, might I add!"
Leanne Delphium chuckles.
Kale Aideron chuckles with her, at her choice of wording in particular, repeating, "...sorrowfully...ah, well, all right..." he looks around for anyone else he could invite, but he was none too familiar with most here.
Leanne Delphium giggles. "Don't worry. Knowing Aya, she might manage to drag a crowd to the bar. Just me that is bound by duty. Oh, well." she sighs. "Ah, by the way...name Leanne! Think you saw me introducing myself, but...!"
Leanne Delphium: "Out of courtesy!"
Leanne Delphium beams brightly.
Kale Aideron looks back down to Leanne when she addresses him, nodding with a friendly smile, "Leanne? I'm Kale for short...lovely to meet 'nd 'ear you"
Kale Aideron bows courteously to Leanne Delphium.
Kale Aideron gives a wry frown at himself, "I 'ssure you I ain't usually this socially awkward..."
Leanne Delphium chuckles. "It's fine! Being awkward or not, still chatting, aren't we?"
Kale Aideron rubs the back of his neck, chuckling a little sheepishly, "Ah, yea'...'nyway, I think I'll be off to the town, then..." he glances over his shoulder to Eskandar.
Leanne Delphium nods before blinking. "Oh! That was the chocobo who hit me! Then..." she looks to Kale before laughing a bit.
Kale Aideron lowers his voice for Leanne, "'e's seen 'is fair share of battle, but 'e's quite docile otherwise..."
Leanne Delphium chuckles. "Well...I didn't suffer much besides being briefly disoriented, so no harm!" she nods. "Well...shall not keep you nor myself anymore. If another chance appears...up for a proper chat, Mr. Kale?"
Kale Aideron looks back to Leanne after making eye contact with Jaques. He is surprised by her friendliness, a little modest, "Oh, sure, works for me...I'm 'round Ul'dah and Thanalan..."
Leanne Delphium grins. "You will recognize me by the fancy hat. Everyone does. So, Mr. Kale! See you later!" she wide and bright grin, she tips her hat. "Aya, I'm going. Have a good evening, you too!"
Kale Aideron bows courteously to Leanne Delphium.
Leanne Delphium bows courteously to Kale Aideron.

Leanne Delphium: "Also, lovely music, Mr. Vaughn. Thanks for the brief lesson."
Vaughn Antain smiles at Leanne Delphium.
Vaughn Antain: "You're playing and your story were lovely as well, Miss."
Leanne Delphium smiles in return, tipping her hat. "I shall not delay my exit any longer." she giggles. "A good evening...!" she waves to everyone before walking off.
