Snippet #2694349

Alexia just sighed a little bit, wandering easily through the market, able to just walk around and through the crowd with ease now. She had hoped that it would have been simple to stalk the crusader's for a while before being found out, but looking around now, she has screwed up badly already, and now owed Sam greatly for his assistance.

As they walked though to try and get away, it became clear that the crusader's, or at least one faction of them, the 6th Order had set up a direct set of trade shops within the Navus's main camp, no doubt hoping that their bold move would let them recruit some people that normally avoided the Crusader Trade Camps. In this situation, it was thankfully one of the smallest factions who now mostly moved through the camp, a few with powerful scrying magics now trying to find Alexia as well as she hissed a bit at the trouble that was brewing.

While the 6th Order was one of the smallest Orders however, and this meant that the total number of magical scryer's would be smaller then a larger Order, it did have one unique issue however. The 6th Order were not above recruiting for other Orders as well. While there were a large number of crusaders to avoid, the 6th Order would also likely share their discovery as soon as they found it and given who Alexia was, even if she could avoid being named the goddess herself for a while, she had more then once almost been forcibly named as the Goddess's personal emissary by some groups that she had to kill to keep them from spreading word of her.

On any other given day, Sam's words would have meant a little more to her, but for now, she just lightly wrapped her tail around his hand to pull him along as though he were her body guard, making it look like he was leading her, when she was really leading him to hopefully keep more eyes on him since he was noticeably bigger then her.

Alexia knew her exit strategy though, she had at least done some level of planning before even coming out, and now made her way out to the eastern exit of the trade camp, to the gravity train station. Sam was quick to catch on to where she was heading, and while he was clearly a little confused about it, he let Alexia lead though given that she clearly had a plan.

Even as she approached, she pulled out exactly enough trade gem stones to purchase to tickets for the train as she moved up to a window. “Two for the Benthoria Helix East line, rear car.” She stated as the vendor nodded. Although most of the gravity trains were built and operated by the crusaders, only those that strictly went to crusader camps were screened so to speak. General travel with the major lines throughout the worlds and into some of the chasms couldn't care less for men, but also didn't do anything to hinder or dissuade them. As a result, the gravity trains had become one of four major methods of travel in the worlds.

What made the rear car so easy for Alexia to use to her advantage though was that the rear car, although usually a cheap ride, having shared rooms and only a smaller service cart for the car, did have access to the balcony like platform on the very end of the train for those who wanted to see the travel with a better view. This made it easy for Alexia to just jump off at her leisure should the need arise, while also limiting the number of people around to watch. As a general rule, those in the rear car as well usually took the rear car for the cheap, but mostly private ride, those in the rear car generally having the decency of not bothering others.

As she paid for both her's and Sam's tickets though, she also made sure to look up to see how many seats were left on the rear car, only 6 left, which meant that every boarding right now would share the last room on the car. This meant that anyone else boarding the rear car would be forced to take a spot in the room with them while they waited for the train to disembark, and would make anyone following stand out. If they were truly following them, Alexia would have time to study them for a few as well as generally limit the number of people there. While they were in station after all, no one with brains even if they needed to would make a move against her, not with the sheer number of Navus resting as guardians all over the station. The Navus were great at detecting people with intent to harm, meaning that anyone who was following her with the intent to cause harm would be singled out and collected, asked to leave before even having the chance to board the gravity train.

For now though, they did have a small wait ahead of them, and while people were allowed and encouraged to board, it would still be about 10 minutes before the train left on its ways, Alexia moving with Sam into the last room of the rear car to wait now, merely opening up some soda and chocolate, mostly just to try and help Alexia keep calm.
