“It’s totally possible. I know in Syliras you had to get water from the wells and stuff, but you don’t have to in Zeltiva,” Aimee explained again. “Fresh water in your home, it’s amazing and mornings are easier because you don’t have to lug around buckets, unless you’re getting a lot from the markets. Of course you still have to heat it up for cooking and bathing, but getting it is no longer a hassle. It’s much easier to take a bath every day without going to a bathhouse too.”

There’re gutters in the road so you can just throw out liquid waste from cooking or whatever down the gutter and it’ll flow on away. I guess that’s another reason why I didn’t stay in Syliras for that long. You’d think they were living years in the past. There’s a reason Zeltiva’s called the City of Knowledge after all, thanks to the University and all the smartminds there.”
