NOE
But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Noe preened at the look on Elizabeth’s face at mention of Starfall. As far as she knew, not many people had been, and she was one of the select few. ”It was super neat,” she told Elizabeth. ”Although, I guess you wouldn’t like it much if you don’t like purple,” she added with a laugh. As for something incubating, she pursed her lips. ”Mm, not that I recall,” she said. ”But the island is huge, so I guess there could be something like that somewhere.”
The streets widened and vendors reappeared alongside them, crying their prices and trying their best to get passersby to stop at their booths. A cloth merchant caught Noe’s eye, and the girl slowed momentarily as she looked at a few pretty, patterned silks for sale, but ultimately continued on her way. She was on a mission, after all, and as a tour guide, she had better things to show Elizabeth than the market!
”Yeah, people are important,” Noe agreed. In all honesty, she’d contemplated leaving Stormbreak for Torchline more than once, especially when Jude still lived there. But now all of the people she cared about were here, and she knew she couldn’t leave them.
Heading to the north of Pacifist Plaza, the pair entered into the Silk Houses district. True to its name, silks hung from windows high above, draping across the walkway in a pretty display. Even in the middle of the day, the bars and tap houses were busy, and the brothels even busier - though not so busy that some of their prettier workers couldn’t linger outside doors, enticing passersby into their buildings. Noe largely ignored them. Her and Elizabeth’s destination was a bit further along.

Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
