[Nola, Marstra, Alex]
"Here's yer portion, Miss Nola." A burly man handed a sum of gil as well as a small sack to the healer. The contents of the pouch jostled lightly but made no further noise. "Thanks fer all yer help keepin' us patched up while we culled the weeds in the arboretum. We knew it'd get hairy but gods help us if we hadn't sent fer a healer."
Nola open the pouch gingerly, checking that the contents hadn't been ruined in the time it spent in the pockets of the swordsman. One hand holding the pouch securely, she held her hand over the opening, protecting her spoils from being tainted by the drizzle of rain that had begun. Belladonna bud petals, fragile pink fragments of the beginnings of a floral menace. A smile graced her features as she closed up the pouch once more and stowed it away at her waist. "A pleasure, gentlemen." She replied before turning away and entering through the gates of Idyllshire.
She was tired, the condition of the arboretum was far beyond what she was told and her supply of ethers had long been exhausted, with the exception of one. Taking her time, she walked towards the hard place in search of refuge from the rain, a bed, a chair, a table, she'd even take someone's lap at this point. Well, maybe not. She still had her pride.
Marstra had travelled to Idyllshire from Limsa she had gotten a call from her two most dearest companions to meet there as she was slightly weary from the trek walking besides her trusted friend Anivia her loving chocobo she patted the birds side since she had gotten her most of the way-.. "You've earned a good amount of treats dear~.. krakka roots and greens for days for you~" -the chocobo chirped happily as they two walked side by side once she entered the shire she left her at the stables for rest the bird dearly needed as she walked her way to the tavern and now stepping inside she shook the rain off her cloak before unwrapping it and hanging it on a hook so it could dry as she now looked around for her friends-.. -d-
Alex smiled. She was traveling with A'vette to the boom town Idyllshire. A'vette was researching the ancient Nym, and they had journeyed here, hoping to learn more of the great Gubal library. Alex Smiled as A'vettes fairy hung around her, as if keeping watch over her while she napped in her chair. Poor thing was tuckered out after the journey, as they had taken chocoback, since neither had attuned to the Aetheryte until about an hour ago. Alex new Marstra was supposed to meet them here, and spied her walking into the door. "Mars, me Emereld!" Alex approached her and pulled her arm into a sort of half hug." Goods to see ya! I Dinna' wants to tackle teh Gubal library without ya i dinna'! heard tey was all sorts of beasties and such inside!" Alex spoke loudly and happily. She noticed the healer walking next to Mars. She had nearly bumped into her in her eagerness to greet her dear friend. "OI! Sorry lass! I dinna' mean to almost >> ram into ya!" Alex apologized rubbing the back of her head after greeting Mars. "Say, mayaps ya could 'elp us!Ya be from around 'ere? Know ya anything of the Gubal Library?" Classic Alex! Her bombastic personality got ahead of her and she was already talking to strangers! -d-
Though Nola stood with her back straight and shoulders back, the slightest tap probably could have toppled her ungracefully to the establishment floor. So when a highly energetic girl run past her, she held her breath that she would, by the will of the gods, not embarrass herself this day. And as luck would have it, Azeyma smiled on her unfortunate follower and gave Nola a clearance of a few ilms. She turned to nod in acceptance of the apology and was met with even further interaction. Her legs weren't going to support her for much longer at this rate.
"The Great Gubal Library?" She nodded along, "Yes, I've heard about it."
"Easy Alex.. " -she chuckled softly as she patted the girl and embraced her in a hug then giving her a kiss on the lips-.. "It's nice to see you. and nice to see you two adventuring without me.. as for the Gubal library? Why are you two trying to get in there.?" -she looked at her then the dozing ave in a chair then turning to the woman clad in purple that alex nearly toppled over she could see a worn person when she saw one as she walked over offering her an arm-.. "before you answer any of my Dear alex's questions lets.. just get you sat down yeah? You look rather drained.." -d-
Alex realized in her eagerness that she'd neglected to noctice the poor woman was about keel over. "Aye, Have a seat at our table! It be over ther with sleepin' beauty and the little fairy! i'll get us some warm drinks and 'ave some warm food sent over." Alex shot both Mars and the newcomer a bombastic, fantastic smile. She walked over to the bar and tunred back. >>
"What kinda food ya likes? The both of ya! My treat! I gots some extra from a recent job!" Alex grinned, awaiting a response. Funny, she'd still not gotten the newcomers name, btu taht was Alex. Friendly as ever. -d-
Nola reached for the kindly offered arm, grateful before something inside her stung. Her pride. She dropped her hand, shaking her head. "Thank you, I'll be alright soon enough." She replied, feeling the weight of her last ether on her belt heavier than ever.
The beauty and the fairy... Nola thankfully didn't have to scan for long as the fairy's glow had been drawing her eye since she opened the doors. Carefully, she stepped gingerly towards the table, placing a hand on it to steady herself before letting her knees buckle and she plopped into her godsent chair. As for food? She shook her head. "Anything that suits your fancy will do." She replied, reaching for the experimental ether and placing it on the table in front of her. -d-
Marstra smirked softly at the other miqo'te's stubbornness as she simply stepped out of her way letting her move under her own will as she followed behind ready to catch her but once she made it she walked over to the sleeping ave planting a kiss on her forehead and gently patting eos-.. "hey eos. how are you?" -she smiled at the fairy as it booped marstra on the nose-.. "even when summoned by someone else you'll do that to me huh,? " -she chuckled before sitting down-.. "Anything meaty is fine with me alex." -she replied as she stretched in the chair grunting a bit as her own legs were slightly weary-.. -d-
Alex nodded on acknowledgement and ordered a full course meal consisting of boar and stew. She gathered three warm pints full of warm tea. Normally she'd suggest alcohol for a first meeting, but opted for a more...relaxed liquid to quench the thirst of her and her compatriots. She sat at the table, passin the two women that weren't asleep pints of warm Rolan bery tea. A tad sweet, but just the thing to sooth a weary spirit. ALso, as a cook, Alex knew it would complement the upcoming food. >> ALex looked to the newcomer and finally introduced herself. "Hello Lass! Sorry 'bout before! Me name's Alexis. Alexis McCallister! This sleepin' beauty be A'vette, me Ruby, and this 'ere be me lovely friend Marstra Cousland!" Alex smiled from ear to ear, happy to make a new friend. She then tunred to Mars. "Sorry Mars, Vette know's the particulars, but she be wanting summat out of the library. I dinna' know what exactly. Mayhaps once she wakes up sh can tel us!" -d-
Nola nodded her thanks, warming her hands on the mug she was given before bring it up to her lips and taking a long satisfying sip. Rolanberry Tea. Sweet to the taste but not cloyingly so, bright on the tongue and smooth going down. She had never thought to order it from this place, typically choosing whatever floral tea was in supply when she visited. But it would seem that she'd found a new favorite to add to her list. She nodded at each introduction, taking the time to try and learn the faces of her tablemates. "My name is Nola Raknea." She introduced herself simply, still drained but feeling the strength slowly return to her. "She needs somethingfrom the Gubal Library? The guardians placed by the Sharlayans most certainly will not take kindly to that." She warned, working the cork out of her ether slowly.
Marstra: "Shes right.. from what ive read on the place the library is old. and left with many guardians that are still active. like the ruins near bronze lake. " -she would sigh softly as she now picked up a peice of boar and chewed on a few peices-.. "And im guessing its safe to assume your a mage of some kind with a staff as ornate as that.."
Alex smiled as she wsa told the newcomers name. Very pretty. She chose to partake of the stew taht was delivered along with the boar first. She listend as Nola warned of the guardians and Mars mentioned the ruins near camp bronze lake. "Aye, I imagine the guradians won't take kindly at all, but Vette seems to think that they may be a book or two in there 'bout the secrets of summat caled Nim? I dinna' know. I think she also be wantin' to find out more about hem fairys she summons. too." -d-
Nola looked that fairy thoughtfully, placing the now removed cork on the table in front of her. "The secrets of Nym...?" Her tone went upwards in intrigue. Though she had spent years learning and studying the healing arts, there was so little known about Nym readily available. What an opportunity. She glanced back to Marstra as she questioned her staff, placing the staff over her lap and studying its intricacies. "Ah yes, I am skilled in the healing arts. Though, perhaps this cane must be given its due credit for my effectiveness on the fields of battle." She looked back to Alex, "Do you think yourselves capable of weathering the guardians?"
