Welcome to Gaia! ::

" Hrm it seems Fire is not paying for all of us" Solstis looked over at Fire " I'm only kidding " Solstis laughed. Pulling a small pouch out from under her cloak and placing it on the counter. " I would like one as well please." She slid the pouch across the counter. I'll be great to finaly know what Kujin was talking about when she said 'Retreat' " She curled her tail with excitement and happieness. Searching her pack with haste for leftover cookie to celebrate .

"T-ten thousand?" Zayn stuttered. He was sure his face was stuck in some comic parody of disbelief. "T-that's a ... little expensive, don't you think?"

He was a starving, travelling artist. The few villages he did visit were places that encouraged trade, rather than wasting what precious little gold they ever saw. Where would he get that amount of money from?

"I just - I only need to get to the island," he tried to reason with the travel agent. "I don't need a vacation or a holiday or a resort, and I don't think I need to be there for a whole fortnight ... Is there a seperate price for just the boat trip?"


((*lol* Cause there needed to be a different reaction. And Zayn really is like that.))

((sorry about not beinghere...damn work *kicks it*))

Hatter had followed the group silently and was staring at the woman behing the counter. "There better be a personal slave to follow me around for that price." She dug into a picket and droped the ammount onto the table.

"A good looking personal slave...."

"Well, I- that is - I don't," Zayn began to panic, feeling all eyes on him. It wasn't his fault he was poor! He patted down his pockets again, to see if he hadn't - oh, he had! He'd missed something!

Drawing out the small pouch, Zayn quickly counted the money and handed it over to the agent. "Did I have that when I left?" he wondered to himself. Shaking his head, he dismissed the idea. Thieves stole money - they didn't hand it over to you.

"I guess we're set then?" he said, offering the others a shaky but relieved smile.

She had found the man with the food! The light was showing him to her! Excitedly, Sasha trotted up to him and began nudging him, trying to coax another apple out of him.

Merrick, on the other hand, was rather perplexed. What was he supposed to do now? That man had his wand of light! But how to get them back, without him running off...

Zayn spent an hour alternating between sketching and wandering around the piers and stores. A few small items made their way into his pockets courtesy of a five fingered discount. In his mind, Zayn justified it by telling himself that the store owners weren't taking proper care of such beautiful items.

As the hour drew to a close, Zayn made his way back to the ship the travel agent had pointed out. Humming to himself, he boarded and found himself a good position by the railing to enjoy the trip.

"An hour..." Solstis leaned with her back on the counter and stared at the ceilling. " I'm not sure what to do with an hour either" She said twitching her ears. "I suppose... I'll meander" She stalked out the doorway.

I can spend the whole time taking in the sights. ^^ Starting at on end of the shoping center she dashed up to each window, tail dancing about with wild excitment. occationaly going into a shop or two, 'specialy the ones that sold all kinds of snacks. Spoting Zayn a few times a long the way and that made here wonder where Fire had gotten off to. He had seemed the most excited. Solstis on the other hand wanted to go but wasn't too keen on the whole over water thing. "Well better to be over water than unexpectently in water" She said outloud to herself. She spoted Zayn who had already staked out a place for himself onboard. So, Solstis took it apon herself to meander her way in that general direction as well.
