So you resolve to see it through, and in the process expect to learn more about the way the humans of these times manage their troubles and laws.
<span class="mu-s">"Forgive the delay, we're overrun with refugees from Kell Fen. Been more than a year since we had a ship from the east, didn't think anyone was left, so our concerns... ah, your name is..."</span>
<span class="mu-r">"Zafira. And this is about?"</span>
Having to wait for a time within the open doors of a dockside storehouse, that's about the best the humans here can manage. When eventually the dock overseer comes to see you and the lone guard, once again another aggravated mortal is swayed by your beauty. Like the guards though, you notice this mortal bears many scars or even fresh wounds, from whatever conflict they face ongoing. In any case, along with the husband then (his wife and son waiting outside) you simply try to answer what you can to move along from here.
<span class="mu-s">"-and you can assure it's nothing religious, not some cult icon?"</span> the official asks, trying his best to focus on the customary lines of interrogation rather than be distracted by you.
<span class="mu-s">"It's just a family heirloom, given by her mother when we married. Are you familiar with how the Namari are?"</span>
In keeping with the deception, together you can set aside the worries of these locals. Obviously most off all your appearance makes them amicable towards your situation, but so long as you can convince them that you aren't bearing dangerous contraband (including of hostile faith) then they haven't any reason to keep or treat you poorly. Same as checking for the plague, there are measures they try to follow to ensure the doom of the homeland does not follow this new home.
<span class="mu-s">"We won't keep you any longer then, just... when you leave for the encampment, make sure you get a tent inside the walls. Whatever it takes, say whatever you can to seem useful to them."</span>
A cautionary warning from the overseer, his being enamored with you affording favor. Otherwise you're free to leave with your belongings, and the husband is eager to leave with his family as soon as possible, considering the rest of the passengers will have had a head start for finding shelter in the settlement. Though you wonder if you shouldn't take the chance you have with the attention of some guards and an official, to try and learn what you can of things. You're sure if you ask them anything, they will kindly answer.
