With the payment plans decided, and Noe happily content to simply buy next time, the girl scanned the cafe for a place to sit and led them to their table. As Thorn responds to her, his bouncing brows drawing a snort of laughter from the engineer, Noe considers the ways that King's End had surprised her. "Ugh, don't remind me of the ghosts," she said, but there was no real bite to it - just a certain air of amused resignation. "Gods only know how I'm going to find enough folk to build this house I'm working on that close to the Barrows. I guess I could hire out of King's End, though," she added, musing to herself. "Get people who already know the lay of the land, and how to avoid the ghosts."

Then she shifted her attention. "No, I haven't been to the Castaway Exchange yet," she said, tucking away her work plans for later consideration. "I honestly haven't done a ton of traveling. I spent most of my time in Stormbreak before the fall. And then outside of that, I spent a lot of time in Torchline, where my best friend lived, before he disappeared on me..." She trailed off, mood darkening for a beat before she shook it off. "Anyway," she said breezily. "Now I'm getting in all the traveling I should have done before."

Long drive, could end in burning flames or paradise
