>>6115507As you cross the threshold, however, you’re immediately treated to something you never thought you’d appreciate:
Conversation. Wagon wheels rattling against stone. Bells being exchanged, cargo being heaved, laughter and wind and <span class="mu-s">LIFE!</span> Holy crap, you’re <span class="mu-s">HERE!</span>
“Get a good whiff,” Announces Tzah-Tzie as she ducks under your legs and out of the sewer, “Because we’ve finally made it, Ant!”
Your nose is treated to a multi-course meal: the smell of livestock and produce fills the air along with smoke from kitchen fires and the rainbow of meals cooking on them: sweet, savory, it’s all there! You’re too busy taking it all in to notice as a caravan nearly flattens you–the driver shouting a gruff ‘<span class="mu-i">GIOURMEWAY!</span>’ as he drives his wagon past!
“Well don’t just stand there, ya’ big tourist~” Snickers TT as she grabs the hem of your robe and tugs you down the rough-patterned street, “Let’s go find your friend before she gets into trouble!”
Before you can go any further, however, you’re both stopped by a pointed cough from Oti. Is he not coming?
“I’ve had more than enough shenanigans for one day, thank you very much…” The Chytree replies in a tone drier than any desert, “But when you’re done sightseeing be sure to call on me. That little flame trick of yours has piqued my interest <span class="mu-i">AND</span> curiosity.”
Right, you nod, you’ll reach out when you can. Oti, as per usual, doesn’t like that response.
“Yes, of course… take all the time in the world!” With a slight bow, the mage departs in the opposite direction leaving you alone with the spunky Spinner…
“Real piece of work, that one…” She remarks as she taps away at her tablet, “But ya’ gotta love mages…”
Yea, you nod, he might have been prickly, but he really came through for you!
“Wha? Oh, yea! Of course!” Nods the Durher as she rummages around in an unseen pocket, “And the guy was absolutely <span class="mu-i">LOADED</span> with potions too! Seriously, ward your pockets! Here, want one? It’s a <span class="mu-b">HEALING POTION,</span> probably!”
What is <span class="mu-s">WRONG</span> with her!?
