Maea
And I hope that you don't suffer
But take the pain
But take the pain
Maea gave the youth a wry smile. The enthusiasm was ceaseless, but Quanil seemed bent on overestimating her. When had someone called her 'miss' last? She was no seasoned Loreseeker, no great expert on Torchline, or indeed anything at all.
"I know the name of the areas, and general information," she corrected gently. "But I am still learning about this place too, so don't treat my words as law. I might be wrong. It's better if you keep an open mind about everything you see and hear, and try to form opinions of your own."
She followed the line they traced along the map, and nodded agreement. "It sounds like a decent plan. Go where you want though, you don't have to ask anyone for permission. Just... people here are different, as I said. They prefer to trade favors, rather than goods. So be careful about making promises if you don't know what you are agreeing to.
"The locals are hardy and stubborn, just like us, but they are far more prone to looking over their own interests than cooperating. Don't count on anyone to help you... and make sure you look after your possessions. Or they will be stolen." She made a face, remembering the little street urchin that nearly got away with her bag in Haulani.
"Do you have any questions you want to ask?" Maea thought it was better to get it over with sooner rather than later... while she still felt in the mood to answer them.

Hope if everybody runs
You choose to stay
You choose to stay
