A few servants came to greet them, but they had a listless, almost machine-like behavior. Knowing Emilia it wouldn't be hard to guess why, though. Completely different from the lifeless servants that looked after the Puppeteer of Warovia, was a scrawny, one eyed thug that approached Emilia flashing a yellowed smile that missed a few teeth, while rubbing his hands together. Emilia didn't even spared the time to look at the man, before throwing a small bag stuffed of silver coins in his ghastly hands. "Your information was useful." Emilia commented,to which the man replied with a slight bow, before going away chuckling.

The servants can show you the way for any place you wish, but I fear I only posses one free room for your disposition. Fear not, for it has a queen bed." "Now, if you don't have any further business or questions with me, I shall take my leave until the time for dinner." Emilia waited to see if either Jessi or Fei wold say something and then took her leave, after just one more warning. "I advise to avoid the dungeon, though. You'll not like what you'll find there."

Berlina said with a smart smile on her lips, "Of course I knew you were coming and had all the papers ready yesterday. All that's needed is the two of you to sign here, since I'm the legal representative of my daughters, I have already taken the liberty of authorizing their departure." Indeed, one could never underestimate the shrewdness of Berlina Aquarian, she might look all goofy and laid back but there was a really good reason why she got her job.

A mere couple hours later and the twins were already back at the port, ready to ride an airship to Arcadia, displaying signs of their ever present love for adventure. "Ok, all hands aboard! Our next destination is the unmapped ruins at the Northeastern Arcadia. I hope you're ready for trouble!" Sienna yelled from the top of her lungs as she ran inside the transport. "Likewise, Oneesama," Linea said in her usual monotone as she followed her sister, "also, they say those ruins are inhabited by elemental spirits. By the way, make it double." Linea snickered, unable to resist the urge of completing her sister's joke. [hr] [@TheWindel][@Lucius Cypher][@Flamelord][@McFazzer][@BlueAjah][@Awesomoman64]
