Setting
The Bald Stretch
The land transitions from the Luxlands into rocky hills that crawl slowly upwards. Dirt mountains and dry pitches claim many wary travelers simply searching for the cities hidden on the eastern shores.
The beaches on this side of the continent are less than desirable. Curies don't wash up over here so much as debris does. Aslund proves to be a filthy eastern neighbor.
There aren't nearly as many animals on this side of the continent, reflecting the apparent lack of vegetation. Despite the warm hues of the rocks, the Bald Stretch is no different climatically than any other northern continent's shoreline. For three months a year, snow and ice turn this already harsh landscape into a livable Hell.

The Bald Stretch
A barren stretch of harsh geography, spanning the full eastern shore of Therrier-Paix. This piece of land is considerably less green, though just as interesting and tough to navigate. Most of the cliffs drop suddenly, night time wanderers be warned.

Finn Harra woke up and quietly laid in bed when he realized Carmen was in the shower. He closed his eyes again and daydreamed about riding on a yacht across a glassy sea.
He pretended to wake up when Carmen seemed like she was done getting ready and immediately put his shoes on. He splashed his face with water, ran wet hands through his hair, and went to return the key to the front desk. Carmen got a nod as he passed, but not much else.
It wasn't an easy sleep. The nagging feeling that what he was doing was wrong started building when they left the Luxlands. Now it was all but a siren in the back of his head.

Carmen Dellevon followed Finn out after a moment. It was a silent morning and she didn't mind it, but it was a little strange. Finn seemed a little strange.
She wandered into the enchanted orchard and waited for Finn to be done returning the room keys. There were all sorts of fruits- even strawberries, she noticed over there on the ground. She picked a few, then realized they'd stain and she had nowhere to put them. Ah, well. One by one Carmen popped the small strawberries in her mouth. They were perfectly ripe, and wonderfully sweet. A little small in size, but maybe that was a sacrifice for a perfect strawberry.

Finn Harra found Carmen in the central garden and watched her for a moment. There was no love, no hate, nothing in his gaze but cool observation. What was she really up to?
As she finished the last one he came up behind her and cleared his throat. It was time for them to go. They should reach their destination by nightfall.
