Business wasn't as good as it could have been, so Miki packed up a sack of all her best belongings to keep them safe, there weren't many, and highest quality items for selling then made her way to Jack Tar Landing from Hak Etme. When she got there she immediately tried selling her things to a merchant, he rudely told her the quality was shoddy and denied her. This made her angry but she decided with the little money she had left she would buy some alcohol from a vendor tent on the docks to cool down.

She spent three days drinking and trying to sell her wares with no one interested in buying. The thing about Jack Tar is it was always shifting, like a dune. Eventually, if she just waited, someone would show up and take her up on her offer. Else it was a race against time and she would either be riding home as a stowaway having drank all of her money or someone would make her day somehow.

This day was good, it was morning, and Miki wasn't drunk yet. She wore her typical white tunic, brown trousers, black boots, and all of her piercings were in. Having only been reborn for two years her experience of the New World was very small and Jack Tar Landing was a major focus of hers. She had stumbled upon this area by chance early on after her awakening, the sheer number of people entering and exiting the port made it a haven for information and trouble. Two things vital to Miki.

By now she wanted to just throw her bag of shitty nails and tool parts out into the sea. Instead of that she thought she would try selling herself; not for a tryst but as muscle, labor, or at this point even a fisherman. By a For Hire signpost the locals used to post jobs Miki could be seen leaning against a barrel, spade tipped tail swishing behind her impatiently like a metronome. It would almost seem like she was waiting on someone, boring holes into everyone who passed by.

The last time Noah was at the Jack Tar landing was when he helped build the skyport here. Now, he was here to inspect the thing. He walked slowly and took notes in his little book, brows screwing tighter together with every scrupulous look. There seemed to be quite a bit of repairs necessary for it to function at its utmost. Without the frequent use of it, even in just a few seasons, it had dilapidated enough that any larger skyboat that tried to dock here would have a hard time navigating the cracked and warped wood.

Frowning, Noah stuck his book back in his pocket and his hands along with it. Sighing, the Forsaken made his way to the marketplace. This Deepfrost day was crisp, the chilly air swirling around him as he made his way up and down the aisles. He got a few looks, and more whispers turned and hidden behind hands than anything else. But no one gave him much of a fuss other than that, even when he handed over a few coins and was given fish in return, though each of their looks stung as they whispered about Vi's demigod and the light in the Temple from the other night.

"For fuck's sake..."
Muttered Miki as the next person she tried to hail turned her down. She wondered if it was because she was exotic; it wasn't long after her rebirth from stasis she discovered her race, "Ancients" as they were called, were something of a novelty. A cold wind blew, causing her to shiver. Deepfrost had come and although it was still early in the season the wind already had a bite to it. Soon snow would come and she would need to stop getting drunk on the docks, leaving again for Hak Etme, she just paled to think of leaving empty handed. Miki needed a new weapon, her bow suited her well and was faithful but it was time to invest in a sword. She was thinking a saber would compliment her best so had returned back to her roots, Jack Tar Landing. Unfortunately this season was the reason she had moved to the desert in the first place.

A scruffy man approached turning heads as he passed people. Tapping a single finger atop the barrel Miki watched him, making her mark. He seemed in a word, plain-- but also tired. She didn't notice anything particularly remarkable about him and didn't really care why people stared, for all she knew he could be a local freak. This was her last chance before she went to get some more booze. Whoever he was he was clearly overworked, grim lines marked his face as he went about his business.
"Howdy."
She would hail him when he drew near.
"Looking for something on the signpost? Name's Miki. I'm for hire."

Noah wrapped the fish in parchment and dipped his head and murmured his thank you to the merchant, despite the way his workers whispered and stared behind him. Giving them a forced and tight smile, he turned to leave, but was stopped short. Having only strode a few feet from the stand before the ancient called out, Noah still held the fish in his hands.

He lifted his chin slightly, her question drawing his eyes to her sign. ”No.” He said, tone neutral and even but not cruel. ”I just came for the fish, and to check out the skyport’s status.” He admitted, holding the parchment up just a fraction. He let his eyes travel over her for a moment, trying to size up her intentions, though his face remained the impassable glacier it had always been when needed.
