Got any pointers for how to deal with it if it does show up?”[/color] While they were talking Midna’s ears perked up at overhearing the idea that they might get some gratitude for killing the worm, and then they drooped back down when it became clear that they’d just lost any gratitude and/or clout they’d worked so hard to build up back at Al Mamoon in one fell swoop, and might even be considered enemies of the state. Her head flopped back onto her wolfos’s back as she bemoaned [color=Aquamarine]”Urh, and I was looking forwards to sniffing around that market with a proper treasury to back me up”[/color] the princess just assuming that getting funds was a given, as if there weren't a million and one things that needed funded, let alone the fact that Peach’s money was hers, not the seekers. Then she though a bit beyond herself and briefly worried that [color=Aquamarine]”I hope the people we help freed don't get scorched by the bridge we just burned”[/color] before going right back to herself when she realized, same as Primrose [color=Aquamarine]”argh and no spa too!”[/color] Then she sat up again suddenly, snapping her fingers as she realized that wasn't exactly right [color=Aquamarine]”No. Wait. We’ll have an airship before sunset… and it was up in the clouds… so maybe we can just fly to it? Wherever it is?”[/color] She wasn't the only one thinking about what could be done now that they’d have fast aerial travel at their disposal. The whole desert would open up to them with a flying machine under their command, and so, in lieu of being able to buy better gear, Sectonia suggested they go out and raid some ruins to see if they could scrounge up some ancient artifacts from them. Specifically those that would let them take on red eye without relying on finding a replacement for the railway gun. Failing that, if they could get strong spirits, then combining that with the mimic hat, they could just create their own fancy gear. However [color=Aquamarine]”I’d join you on your treasure hunt, but I’ve got some unfinished business up the mountainside. Did give that tree trapped guy Gemino a promise, even if its a weird one”[/color] she said (referring to the poor man they’d met on their climb’s desire for burning oil) and who knew, maybe she’d get lucky and this monastery she needed to go to would fit the ancient ruin with artifacts in it category, before adding [color=Aquamarine]”But I can get back mountain top side with the warp rock and then just drop back down so I should be good”[/color] and then thinking for a moment [color=Aquamarine]”We have two of those right? We should set the other one up on the ship once we get it, lets us, or at least me, jump back to it once we’re done with whatever splitting up we end up doing”[/color] Once she finished talking she leaned back against her furry backrest, only for the wolfos to shift behind her, the beast perking up its ears at first and then turning to peer off into the distance. [color=Aquamarine]”Huh? What is it, mutt?”[/color] she asked, before sitting up and squinting off in the direction, her sun adverse eyes only managing to pick up some blurry shapes in the distance [color=Aquamarine]”What are those… and where they there earlier”[/color]
