[color=khaki]"Say what you want, girl. The journey ahead is going to be a long one and we will surely reach lands colder than Vasilius, lands covered in snow, and I do not think you would like to know what frost's bite is..."[/color] Gaius had heard of horrid stories where travelers had to sever fingers, toes, and even limbs that had blackened due to the cold. There were even tales where the cold had blackened the limbs to the point they simply fell off. When the time comes for them to gather supplies for the journey, he would ask for a spare set of warm clothes. Gods be damned if he were to let that happen to her just because the girl was too stubborn to ask for warmer clothes.

The voice of the younger man breaks his train of thought. It seemed that he was suggesting the group should plan, or at the very least to decide, where the group should go first. He had suggested they begin their search for answers in Eerum or Kafaara. Kafaara would be their best bet in getting a lead, though in truth he knew little about the city other than that was were the Barbed Church's influence and power was the strongest. He was one of the few individuals in the kingdom that was not a follower of the faith. Opting to believe in a pantheon of gods that each rule an aspect of the world.

It was then the boy interjected his position on the matter. According to him entrance to the city was barred from everyone. Gaius seemed skeptical at the boy's knowledge regarding Kafarra and was about to disregard it but stopped as soon as he revealed the maps from his bag for display. He decided to give the boy a chance. The boy was a cartographer, well at least one in training. Though his suggestion to take paths that lead to strange and unknown locations was rather ludicrous. They were looking for information. Not an adventure. [color=khaki]"Its good to know that you are a cartographer...well one in training at least, but do understand that we cannot risk spending supplies and time on a 'what if.' Unless you have proof that would assure us that your venture will be useful, I cannot agree to your suggestion."[/color]
