Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jaeto understood that Calisto did not want to act like a commoner, but... he and she were very close. Not in a romantic way, but, they were indeed good friends. Since Calisto had grown up secluded from interactivity with most people, Jaeto had been, unfortunately, all she had. Jaeto felt very protective of Calisto, even though ineptness sometimes caused this not to seem so.

The guardian knight said nothing in response, but averted his eyes to gaze at Farfarello idly.

((What is your choice of music?))

((Music is an integral part of my soul(s). It is a statement about someone, the kind of music they like. I enjoy Better Than Ezra, Jason Mraz, Matchbox 20, Finger Eleven... lots of rock alternative. Some normal rock. Some country--the good kind of country--not much else.

Caramelldansen tickles my fancy, strangely enough, however. : ))

Port.

Helenne and Remedius, and presumably Elmire, glanced at the very tropical port-city before them. People bustled about, busily exchanging goods or coin, delivering merchandise, whether it be tropical fruits, spices, exotic fish, lumber, ship material--the place was alive with activity. Adobe, wooden and stone houses rose up, and even though the ground was covered with buildings, cobblestone streets, and the water with ports and ships, the real city was above. As soon as one left the immediate port area, the city/town ascended into the trees above. It truly was a city in the trees, more or less, with houses in almost everyone, wooden, and wooden platform-and-rope bridges connecting each. An elaborate pulley system was employed in several areas to allow for the transport of heavier materials up into or down from the trees. To walk on the forest floor, further inland, was dangerous. Native animals and native humans posed a dire threat to this civilized portion of the Korubinos.

Elmire's ship was docked, and the trio stood on the deck, watching as their cargo was unloaded. The bustle of the port provided a voluminous, if not quite unpleasant, ambient sound for the trio.

Raedou laughed.

"The only reward I desire, Your Majesty," he said, smiling, "is the honor of serving you when you are queen."

He looked at Farfarello, who was attempting to boil the egg, and grimaced.

"After your humble servant over there prepares your meal, Your Majesty, we will continue our journey to Eopia." he said, "There, we will get a room at the inn, and discuss what we will do next."

Elmire scoffed and began to walk into the bustling town. He turned to Helenne and... Remedius, his face frozen in a scowling frown.

"My troops are waiting for us near the north side of this village." he said, "We will meet up with them and then seek out the Grand Bishop."
