Not just on the airship (though that had been [i]painfully[/i] long to Asuka), but for a chapter of her life. And now a brand new chapter was underway. The young hunter had stayed below deck for the majority of the journey on the airship, either reading or consulting with a Felyne she'd taken a shine to that knew about this new continent. But what she was most interested in were the monsters. How the ecosystems worked. How humans and Wyverians interacted with the ecosystems in their day-to-day lives. Eventually the poor Felyne had taken off, tired of the young woman's questions. "No more questions, nya!" he'd shouted. "You get answers when we make it to [i]gǎng[/i]! That means 'port'!" Asuka had been called up as soon as New Dundorma was in sight. She wasn't disappointed. The city was much larger than she'd anticipated. As they got closer, Asuka became more excited, and ran back below deck to grab her belongings: a bag of books and journals (most of the latter were blank), a few miscellaneous odds and ends (including a blanket), and of course her personal weapon: a Gunlance, forged from stone and metal. It had been a gift from her father before leaving Bherna, and she planned on putting it to good use. Asuka came back up as the airship was docking. Of the people on board, only a few wore the telltale armor of a hunter. Four other people, by the look of it, two men and two women. She recognized two sets of armor, but not the others. She would have to talk to them to find out where they were from. Frankly, she wasn't looking forward to it. The group of hunters was greeted by an elderly Wyverian. As most old Wyverians were, he was of short stature, maybe coming up to Asuka's waist. Despite his appearance, he seemed to have quite a bit of energy, enthusiastically greeting the five of them. Asuka offered a smile.
