Dionysus The city is fullof marvels. The Breastiary is full of wondrous animals. The Hanging Gardens are a miracle to behold. Crystal Lane is lined with art galleries. The Whole has more things than you can imagine, including a huge market. Diamond Palace is lined in gold & jewels & has the biggest market in the world...

Gaja i try to draw some of the more interesting animals (poorly) and look around the market for any fun souvineers. i also ask the shop keepers in the market for some of the favorite local places to eat

Dionysus The Amber Inn, which is the harvest section of town, has the best food.

Gaja if it's not too expensive, that's where i go to eat for lunch

Gaja if it's expensive, then i stop at the most crowded place i saw along the way

Dionysus It's free.

Dionysus A woman called the Feeder feeds anyone who waits in line for food, the best meal they'll ever have, they say

Gaja can't beat the price then!

Dionysus It's an hour & a half wait in line. What's Gaja's favorite meal?

Gaja she doesn't really have a favorite. she always likes to try new things. i'm not sure she could decide on a favite

Dionysus In that case, you're given a stew with aurochs meat in it. It's incredible, & very different.

• Gaja is pleased with the day's adventures.

Gaja she would go back to the inn before it got to late to clean up before the show and warm up a little

Dionysus When you get there, there's a letter for you.

Gaja yay for letters!

Dionysus The innkeeper says, "Came in via the truth temple. Something important?"

Gaja "it's a letter from my mom!" i say with a grin

Dionysus He frowns, "Well well well. That's something."

Dionysus "Ma'am?"

Gaja "yes?"

Dionysus "What /was/ that thing that was after you?"

Gaja "um...i think they said it was a ravener...... but don't worry! one of my friends took care of it so it won't bother us again! i'm sorry for all the trouble!"

Dionysus He shakes his head, "Well, I got the smell out last night, but it took a home priest to do it. You sure that won't happen again?"

Gaja "i hope it won't happen again! that would be too awful!"

Gaja "thank you for cleaning up my room!"

Dionysus He nods, "Well, I had to, what with the smell. I'm sorry it happened to you in my inn, ma'am."

Gaja "i'm sorry it happened in your inn!"

Dionysus He smiles. "Ilook forward to your set tonight, ma'am."

Gaja "thanks! it'll be great!"

Dionysus "I hear Roshadam might be here tonight."

Gaja "who?"

Dionysus "Ahh, you don't know of him? He's the oldest shemir in this part of town. Knows every songever written, they say."

Gaja "neat! i hope he likes our show!"

Dionysus He nods. "Well, it's an honor to just have him visit."
