The sun was only setting when Kurt returned to his room at the Mizzenmast. He was immediately greeted by the barking of Apple, the puppy he owns. She was ecstatic that her human was back and ran circles around him as he moved toward his desk in the room. Contrary to most days he returned Kurt was not armored head to toe but rather carrying a bowl of food with him. He wouldn't dare neglect to feed his dog and he's been away from her for too long. He couldn't bring her along because the jobs were just getting more dangerous with each passing day. Setting the bowl down on the floor for Apple to dig into, which was filled with choice cuts of lamb, Kurt turned his attention to his small and cheap journal and began writing down what had happened recently.

I had already resigned myself to a life that involved moving between nations and doing whatever job that needed doing no matter how mundane it would be. The pay was good after all and we didn't have to live out in the streets of Lominsa anymore. We had enough that won't be hungry and still had some leftovers which goes straight to my equipment.

Recently I've been finding myself sent to Uldah more frequently. So much so that I even have my own room in the Hourglass courtesy of Momodi now. Well lets just say that after a very nasty contract in the copperbell mines working to reinforce a Flames squad sent to clean up the mine, I found myself sharing a drink with one of their officers. Of course, the officer in question didn't know my part in the recent Copperbell stint and why would he? I'm just another statistic anyway. 

The officer in question went by the name Nako'li. At least I think this was how the name is spelled. In any case, he was interested in opening up a trading company in Uldah. Now I've seen my fair share of trading companies come and go in Uldah and this particular miqote wanted to enlist my services. I voiced my concern and he voiced his reassurances. Sure there'd be money but it won't last long in the cutthroat Uldah. 

Except that in the end, I ended up being under his employ anyway. He had dangled bait in front of me and I was happy enough to bite it and get hooked. Nako'li would teach me how to harness my own aetherical energies and translate them into world around me. I would be akin to thaumaturges that incinerate entire fields of opponents. I also believe that it will work well in tandem with my axe. A swing here, an ice spell there. I'm looking forward to my training. Another thing is that I still get to work for Adventurer's Guild that in itself probably doubles the amount of gil I'd be getting. Maybe I'll own that house in the Mist after all or maybe an empty plot of land to call my own. I sure hope so. 

And who knows, maybe this Nako'li character might just become a business kingpin in Uldah. Well I've already thrown my lot in with him. Now the next question is just how usefull I'll be to him.
