Oh, the pilgrims seem normal enough; exchanging stories, laughing, asking her questions. But her companions seem, for the most part, a silent bunch. Particularly Saku and Jabin who both declined to speak with her when she approached the two over the last day. In the end, she simply shrugs it off as a dedication to their positions as protectors of this wagon train. Most likely, they are in earnest and do not want to be caught unawares with idle talk. Perhaps I should be more serious too. Azure sets her face in what she thinks is a serious expression for a few moments before breaking out into laughter, unaware and unconcerned of what others might think. That simply isn't me. Ah well, I shall be my best, regardless.**The solid voice of Pharos interrupts her musings, and she looks up at him with a grateful smile at the unexpected interruption.*"Ah well, Pharos, I probably could have. But, you see," here she grows excited, turning her body towards the cleric and letting her hands animate along with her explanation, "I simply have to see more than the insides of taverns and inns, more than the marketplace, more than what is inside a city. I've lived for years in a quiet village. I'd sing and play along with my father for travelers who had lived great stories of their own to tell. But all I could do was tell the stories of others. I wish to live my own great stories and to forge them into song. As my mother had hers. Andeluvay is certainly a step up in the way of providing new experiences, but I would most likely still spend my time on the platform of an inn." *She suddenly halts, gives Pharos a quizzical look, "I suppose this all sounds silly to you. No doubt you've had great adventures already. Well, don't worry, I talk as if it's all a fantastical dream, but I know the reality needs to be taken seriously. And I do."*At a break in her monologue, and before she can continue, she is surprised by Saku's presence. He asks Pharos to spar with him and Azure can't stop the mischievous smile on her lips, He speaks! I knew he could!**Nodding to Pharos, she gives her permission, "Please go ahead. I don't mind." She sits there, looking between the two, wondering just how often men feel the need to play at battle.*</blockquote>
