"Oh, so the people are the reason I have to wear it, that makes sense. Well..it doesn't, but neither does anything else, so I can accept it." Since they were alone in the room, Kaleeth wasted no time in removing the dress and tossing it aside before laying down on the bed. She let out a deep breath and held an uncertain expression on her face. I have always wanted to see the cities. I was told what they were like, how big they were and how many people they had. I was told how you could find all sorts of things here you can't find in the swamp. But, it seems like something is...wrong here. The place we came in at didn't look so bad, but these buildings are about to fall down. The people on the street look so sad, and the ones in there were rude and...angry. Are all cities like this? If so...I don't know if I want to go to any more." 

Meesei gave a light chuckle. "I'm sure it might have been at first, but Stormhold has been settled for a few eras by this point. I think all of the traps have been disarmed, and all the secrets found long ago. Anything scholars could have learned about this place, they likely already have. I think the ruins are mostly just pretty stonework now. Still, it has been a very long time since I have been in an Ayleid ruin, and there might even be some books about what Stormhold used to be. Maybe after we find a courier, we can see if we can find some?" 

Rhazii was, quite predictably, much more content now. At the very least, Ahnasha had so far been quick to handle whatever needs he had. If he cried too much, it might anger the other patrons of the tavern, and they were already not on good terms. It was one reason why she felt nervous about leaving him with anyone else for any length of time, other than the fact that her natural inclination was not to let him out of her sight. If he started crying, whoever was watching him might not be able to stop him, since she was the only one who could feed him. Of course, at that point, it probably would be best to leave Lorag with him. Not many people, no matter how drunk, would willingly pick a fight with him. 

"We might be able to risk leaving him with one of the others. If not, you could go out with Lorag or one of the others and find what we need. I'm sure Lorag would be good for keeping the local thugs off of you, anyway." She suggested.
