Well, that was nice. It seemed that Emmaline's ploy had worked well enough for the guards. Jaina was satisfied that she wouldn't need to find another group that didn't want her in chains anytime soon. It would be good to stay around sharp minded people, if only to get out of trouble easily. Running away felt tedious, and she had no coin.
Even as muddled thoughts swam about in her mind, she followed along with the rest of the group, dark eyes taking in their surroundings. She had to admit it was actually not a bad looking place at all, and perhaps it did make sense that the guards would be picky about whom they allowed in; troublemakers did tend to make... trouble. It would be a shame to have something happen here as well from simply being negligent. She'd bet money that they already had their share of miscreants and hardly needed more.
Well... she would bet if she had some money on her. Alas.
"I'll accompany you," Jaina decided after hearing what Raddek had to say. Hopefully they didn't charge for water at the
Ubrico Solidati. In any case, she wanted someplace to sit for a bit and simply listen in on others. If nothing else, she could probably exchange her amulet for food, drink and a place to sleep. Sentimental attachment was something to set aside when you weren't sure where you'd be getting your next meal.
She sighed. She really didn't like being without gold...
Jaina would say she was a well traveled sort, but the fact was that she was well traveled in the desert lands and certainly nowhere like... here. Though her face kept her usual composed expression, her eyes were flitting to and fro as she walked with the group, taking in the beautiful buildings, the canals, actual boats in a city. It almost felt as if people were carefree here... perhaps there would be a chance to find a job where she could be hired as a mercenary?
She followed after Raddek, pausing slightly when the man spoke up. "Sure," she replied, turning to see if she could find a free table. Normally she would have found someplace in the corner, but since this was a new city, she preferred sitting someplace she could actually hear as well as observe. Pulling a chair at an empty table near some of the fancier looking folks, she raised a hand when she saw a maid nearby.
"Just some water for now," she instructed the pretty serving girl, giving her a brief smile before looking away, her eyes training between the men playing cards to the fellows with the weapons.
