“Well that’s really a matter of luck, we arrived in Eldiz only this morning on a friends vessel and won tickets for this trip at a giveaway on the market no long thereafter. We were expecting to spend quite some time exploring the city, but it was just too good an opportunity to give up so here we are. You’re right though the chance to explore the unknown does hold a certain appeal...doesn’t it my dear one?” Zaeryn says looking at Valyssa, “So what is a Rowani gentleman such as yourself hoping to see and do on this voyage Diedrik?”
"Me? I'm just here to earn my bread and butter. Spelljamming is what I do for a living, among other things. I applied for a position on the ship, expecting something like this will be paying well, but it seems my pay will be limited to the loot we pick up. Here's hoping the unknown contains plenty of value, as well as interest," he says, a little disappointed at how random the results of the journey could be.[/sblock]

In regard to her reference to him, "It was as you requested Diedrik-san," again with some difficulty, "I shall do so until it is proven otherwise . . . that should not take long as you are on familiar ground and I . . . have not been off the ground until recently," Yuriko explained. The inference in her voice indicated that she expected to be noting Diedrik as a superior soon, not the other way around. "As for myself, I was training at the monastery until recently. I was instructed to come here, that a monk of the Order was requested . . . and here I am. Why a monk was requested . . . I am not entirely certain."
*Yuriko held her arms at her sides casually, though with her open palms in view of Diedrik. She glanced over at the large Tralg only once during their conversation, but her body shifted away from him after she did so . . . though it was only a few inches, and Yuriko did not seem to notice that she did so.*
*Diedrik couldn't help a chuckle.*
"Don't be so quick to put yourself down, my friend. I've always known monks to be quite able on their feet, and I have the feeling you could easily put me to shame on any rocking deck," he replied jovially, "But since you mention it, feel free to refer to me in whatever way you want. I don't wish to make you uncomfortable, after all. This journey is going to take some time, so I'm sure once we get to know one another a little better you'll find it easy enough.
"Hmm, but they didn't give you a reason as to why they wanted you along? Not very helpful of them. I imagine members of your Order have some kind of special knowledge or talents that would be useful on the trip, but I guess it's up to you to figure out which ones they are," Diedrik replied, looking thoughtful.
Poor girl, sent away from home to some faraway place without any word of what she was meant to do.
Diedrik noticed Yuriko react to the Tralg again.
"The Tralg, you haven't seen any of them before?" he asks.[/sblock]
