"Can you imagine how many different worlds must connect here? Just look at this place! It's even more diverse than Wing City! I've seen a lot since I moved to the mainland, but nothing like this."

Amidst the crowds, a young blonde man was walking alongside a tall armoured woman. Cináed wore simple clothes that one might have expected from any average teenager of Terra, an amusing contrast to the elegantly decorated black-and-gold armour of his companion. His face wore, as ever, an incredibly broad smile, and his amber eyes were alight with wonder.

"Hah! Youngling, you've hardly seen the start of it!" the impressively imposing warrior replied, her voice booming heartily over the general hubbub of the street. "I've spent many a day drinking at the fine establishments of this city, and trust me, there is far more to be seen here than even that old haunt in Wing City had!" Anria waved a hand out across the area, where in their field of view alone there must have been a dozen different species represented.

"I wish we could stay longer," Cináed said, sighing plaintively, "There hasn't been any need for me at the temple yet. This is the most exciting thing I've done all fortnight."

Anria patted the boy on the back, grinning, "The life of a hero isn't all glory and excitement, youngling, but you'll have your time. Nothing's ever quiet on Terra for long!"

The pair passed close to where Kaden was sitting, pausing outside a tavern just across the street. "I shan't be long, Cináed, I need only collect my wager from that damned elf and then we'll be on our way. Keep an eye out here in case he's plotted to backstab me with a gaggle of goons, not that I think he has the initiative!"

With that said, the armoured woman disappeared inside, leaving Cináed to lean onto the wall of the building with a bored flick of his hair.
