[center]Location: Oars Rest Docks, walking towards the Square[/center]

The shouting of sailors overhead brought her out of her reading. Had they arrived in Oars Rest already? Not entirely out of her realm of expectations, but she wasn't entirely prepared for arriving so soon. The Sanando Sanguinis didn't easily give up it secrets, and reading the ancient, almost faded text was nearly impossible sometimes. Of course, if she was any better at reading this ancient language it would certainly help her a great deal, but she had no idea what language the book was even written in. She had as of yet found anyone to help in that regard as well. It seemed like it was ancient and very obscure. She had made some headway, but not nearly enough as she would have liked.

Well, trying to read any more would likely give her a headache. With a sigh, she closed the book and wrapped its faded leather seal around its pages and secured it on her belt. She stood, grabbing her sword and shield that was laying on what had been her bed for the extent of the journey before heading upstairs to the deck. She was greeted with the unpleasantly humid air and a breeze, though it was nothing her training hadn't put her through.

[b]"Oi, Miss Valencia."[/b] A voice called out to her as she arrived on deck. [b]"Pleasant trip I hope?"[/b] The man addressing her was the captain of the ship. 

[color=ed145b]"Ah, captain...I should be thanking you for a smooth journey.. It was quite the enjoyable experience, your crew is very good at what they do."[/color] She replied with a small bow. She may have formally been a princess, but showing your thanks to those who deserve it wasn't in anyway harmful or shameful. Just as she said that, however, a commotion on a vessel not too far from their own was heard. Sailors shouted, some were tossed into the water as a Aahari burst from the ships interior. A brave sailor tried to stop him, but was immediately put down by the large reptilian creature.

Her brow furrowed in distaste at the individual actions. The captain sighed, glad his passengers were at least a little better behaved than that. 

[color=ed145b]"At any rate, I do not wish to trouble you further. Good day captain, and smooth sailing in the future."[/color] She began to leave, stepping onto the plank that led to the docks. She didn't want to linger here for any longer than she absolutely must.

[b]"Aye, miss. If ye ever need a ship to sail you back to Ailon, don't mind givin' me a holler. Make constant trips between Edea and Baumn I do."[/b] With that, he held a pipe to his mouth, a puff of smoke leaving the end of it as he waved bye to her. She gave him a friendly smile, but otherwise didn't reply further.

She only had one goal for now. Get as far away from here and the Baumn Empire as she possibly could. She prayed to Nesenth news of her hadn't reached the soldiers here yet. Otherwise, this would make her life a whole lot harder. As she made her way to the dock, ignoring the large lizard man, she headed in the direction opposite of the Buamn Barracks. She wasn't going anywhere near any place that might be able to identify her. Some place in the Cadedril Embassy would probably be able to give her information about what laid further inland....
