((*ish remeinded she needs to do a bio for Elisabeth suddenly*))
Serefina yawned again, it was getting rather late and they did have to make an early start tomorrow. So she was going to retire. She made note to the guard of where Stazi's glasses where and curtsied slightly to Anastazi before turning around and leaving the room. Usually she would love to watch a fight but it seemed to be so outmatched that sleep sounded better at the moment.
Once in her room, she had her maid help her removes her garments which were thankfully not too many, not that she would ever admit how few she had gone downstairs in and slips into her nightrail and then into the bed on top of the heated bricks, settling in quickly not even needing her glass of wine to drift quickly and easily off into dreams of what tomorrow would hold.

VTMarik Nicholai Maxwell *Ippi nods* Alright. Sounds great to me! You take the lead, Theo! Well, i suppose i'll have to, won't I?
He walked with Ippi out of the house and into the street, where a smallish messenger boy was walking around.Theodore Exian? I've got a letter for Theodore Exian! Theodore Ex- That's me! Hey kid, that's me!Oh really. Well, since I can't prove that, i'll just pretend you are. I've been carrying this letter looking for you... "Theodore" for a while now. So here ya go. Ah, thanks. Here.
He handed the boy a couple gold coins, and the boy walked off happily. He looked at the letter and his eyes went wide with surprise.
I don't believe it. It's from Kyle!
He tore the letter open eagerly, but carefully as not to rip it.Theodore, If you're reading this letter than you obviously haven't blown yourself up with your strange experiments. I'm writing to remind you of our original agreement. I am in Kumori now, and i hope to either recieve a reply from you or to see you soon.
Sincerely, Kyle Inoue.Oh, of course i didn't forget Kyle. What do you take me for? Some forgetful... oh. Please don't answer that.
Ack, i'm talking to him but he isn't here.
He smacked himself in the head and looked at Ippi.
I'm wondering if you'd be up to a trip Ippi? My plans have shifted slightly, and I'm going to Kumori to visit a very old friend. I'd like it if you came along...*Ippi thrusts her arms above her head, and jumps for joy* YAY!! A TRIP!!! *Ippi does a happy little dance, while waiting for Theo to fill her in on details*

Nicholai Maxwell *Ippi thrusts her arms above her head, and jumps for joy* YAY!! A TRIP!!! *Ippi does a happy little dance, while waiting for Theo to fill her in on details* Ok that's a yes then. Neat!
Ummm, this is a letter from my old friend Kyle. Haven't seen him in...
He counted on his fingers.
14 years!
Well, here's my plan: I'm gonna go repack up my stuff and hitch a ride to Kumori.
Apparently it's on the way, way other side of Gaia in the east. So it'd take about a week, maybe two to get there by land and/or sea.
Ummm there's a big ol' Temple over there, but I honestly don't know which particular spirit it follows. Do you know anything about it?

He shrugged
Maybe it's some kind of new city? Or maybe they just never wanted their city written about?
Did you know that an entire village went completely unnoticed for thirteen years because it was ringed by mountains that no one could cross?

I wonder how a village could exist where no one could find it. *Goes deep into thought for about .7 seconds* Well, let's go now. No use thinking about it. I don't want to waste any brain cells. *smiles, and beckons for him to lead*

Hang here, i'll be right back.
He dashed two buildings over to the cathouse he had visited thrice now.
Indigo?Yes? Oh, hello Theodore.Theodore walked over and hugged her, then walking out he stopped to say something to her.
Thanks for all of your help, it was most appreciated. I'm going out of town now, but i'll be back eventually...Alright sugah, i'll look forward to that.
She smiled, but the look of surprise from the hug was still evident. A couple of the other girls chuckled at Theodore's innocent honesty.Theodore smiled and ran back to Ippi at the Jackrabbit Inn. Leading her inside, he went to his room and packed his things. He shouldered his crossbow and then looked at Ippi.
Now, to get myself a boat or carriage to go across the known world!
He said that sentence with a bit of mock majesty. But then again, he was going across the world, it may have been genuine.

Well, I guess I will have to show you soon, but we should wait til we are out of town. It might cause a bit of a disturbance. Anyway, I am pretty sure we should get a carriage. The Ships probably won't be able to take us any farther than up the Phoecian River to Laburnum, and we would have to go to the coast to get a good ship, anyway. I am betting there is someone in town who could show us where we could get one. *shrugs*

Theodore chuckled and picked up his bags. He then led Ippi back to the front desk
Sir, where can we charter a carriage to take us east?How far East?Kumori.The innkeeper nodded and pointed out the door.
Down the street, there's a barn-sized building. You can get such a carriage in there. Word has it that the carriages are driven by air spirits.Really? How fast are they.You could probably get to Kumori in two, maybe three days.Wow! That's pretty damn fast! Thanks a bunch sir.
Theodore set down a smallish bag of gold on the table and looked at Ippi.
Let's go.

"Oh, no, no," Clet responded, looking up at the extinguished...erm, distinguished old guy through silver eyes. She gave him a big grin. "I just give them lots of love..." Her arms closed around The Third as he flew up to her chest. She held him there, careful of the gaffs, and stroked his feathers as she spoke. "...and I understand them." Henry flew up to her shoulder, wanting attention. She turned and cooed at him, then gave her attention to Alexander once more. "So, if I ask them to do something, they're glad to help me." William, not to be left out, began pecking at Clet's feet, hoping he would get stroked, too.

"So, if I ask them to do something, they're glad to help me."
Alexander merely stared at the girl as she spoke, seeming to not be pay attention. Yet instead he was merely curious, his right bushy white eyebrow raised up high. Not only did this girl claim the ability to understand chickens but she also claimed to be able to talk to them? It was all Alex could do to keep from shaking his head and calling her insane. Instead he found a new focus to keep himself from commented, looking further down at the girl's feet. His eyes focused upon the chicken who was currently pecking at her feet.
"Well, it seems that chicken feels left out. Haha..."
This was spoken with a tone of amusement as Alex whatched the chicken. Yet his eyes would soon move back up to the girl's face, losing intereast in whatching it. For a moment he would just stare, barely a second, then reached down to move aside the red material of his cloak. There hung a small brown sack, heavy and bulging at the sides. Yet from this would be drawn about seven golden coins. These would be handed down to Clet with a smile upon the elderly man's face.
"I enjoyed what little I saw of your show. Very well trained animals, I assume you are able to train others as well? Or 'give them love' as you say?"

"William always wants attention...he can't stand it when I'm petting everybody else," Clet responded, looking down at the rooster with a sparkle in her eyes. She hadn't noticed anything odd in the way the old man looked at her; everyone looked at her that way. "You hold on, there, you'll get your turn..." she cooed to William.
Clet's grin expanded slowly as her hand closed around the coins. It was nearly as much as she had gotten from all the other passerby. This was such a wonderful day!
"We can perform again for you, if you'd like," she offered. It seemed wrong for him to pay so much when he had only seen the end of the show, when some people hadn't paid at all.
"I'm really best with chickens.." she replied to his query. "I understand them. Other animals listen to me, but I'm not really sure I know what they're going through."
