Abraxas is glad to see Garu enjoying the music. He is also glad to see the domed building at the end of the street. "My home city is close to the ocean," he says. "Living close to it only makes it more wonderful! I never grew tired of the weather in that place," he says. "It is wonderful to read on the beach. The light is always perfect. But," he says, "Let's see if this is the Order of Skogyr in that building." He starts walking that direction. "The air by the ocean can have the sweetest smells," he says and inhales deeply. He tries not to think about the other odors in the Dock Ward.
As he walks, Abraxas will sort through his shoulder bags until he finds his Order of Thalassa identification.
Harmony sighed a little, listening as Amin apologized and started rambling, giggling when he called her cute. "It's okay. Thank you." she said back to him with a nod and a smile. Then she heard as he has all kinds of artifacts for sale, fascinated by the mechanical bird and surprised by the rabbit foot. But she thought about it and there is no way that these would be what Aisha was talking about, especially since they are being sold and don't seem magical. "These are cool, but not exactly what I was thinking of. I'm looking for very powerful magical artifacts actually, hearing that they are in this city." Harmony had then said back to Amin with an innocent smile.
"They are indeed a group of mages," Abraxas says. "My hope is that they will be able to point us toward the artifacts we seek." He continues toward the building, enjoying the sun on his face, the smell of the ocean, the sound of the wind.
The domed building has no signage anywhere, but the windowed doors provide a view into a sight not unlike the Order of Thalassa in Ruskivek. However, this order seems to lack the firm hand that Mitsi held over her own, as it is nowhere near as tidy. Desks seem to be a better fit for books than shelves here, as books lie open and scattered across the room. The chatter of a dozen conversations fills the air when you open the door, and a ruffled human man with large spectacles sitting atop an even larger nose rushes toward you.
"Oh good, you're here! Great, the Wysto are getting antsy. The doors to Galasir are down the stairs there. The second on the right will take you closest to their village; if you want the scenic route, you should take the first on the left, but you should probably hurry, they don't understand how stretched we are and they're adamant that this is of the gravest importance," he stammers at you.

The first person you see outside of the Nyghtfall Inn is a dwarf woman, wearing a pack on her back that is filled with mining equipment. She stares at you bewildered for a moment before answering your question. "Ye didn't see it on yer way in? How in all the hells did ye get here that ye can't see the water? It's over that way," she says, pointing to the south.

Amin sets his "artifacts" down sullenly. "Oh...oh! That must mean...wow, we don't see many adventurers around anymore. Not that we've ever seen a lot of adventurers, mind you, that's just what I hear. Well, I suppose you'll want to see the Order of Skogyr, then. They're over by the sea on the south end of town, can't miss it," he rambles.
"Oh, wait!" he shouts before you leave. "Remember Amin's Oddities, if you ever need any equipment!"
Aisha gives the dwarf woman a quizzical look to match, not sure what she was looking at her that way but, once the answer is received, she nods appreciatively. This one thanks you. And this one got here by tunneling through the earth! A mile purr day. And this is where she ended up! she said, teasingly, wondering if her story would be bought. After gauging the reactions, with a bright smile from the attention she had received earlier she would elsewise begin to make her way in the aformentioned direction. Pausing only to spin around and say Also, this one thanks you for yourr assistance.
As she made her way in the direction she was told of, she would look around her. Seeing if any buildings caught her eye, shops and the like as she casually strolled, hands lanced behind her head as she did so.
On the off-chance that there is nothing of note on the way to the order, that is where she would go next.
Harmony was hearing Amin, nodding back but feeling a little bad for him now. "Thank you for the help, Amin." she says back to him smiling, deciding to buy the mechanical bird before she leaves. Then she would make her way towards the Order of Skogyr.

AISHA:
Outside of the dwarven residences, the city of Lyrikav proves to be quite scenic. Your route to the coast brings you toward the tall tower that you have seen above the rest of the city's structures, and as you near it, you hear a sound that strikes a chord in you; the music of a flute, interspersed with cheers. A sign hangs above the doorway at the base of this tower that reads: No Man's Lamb.
_____________________________________
HARMONY:
"Oh! Excellent," Amin remarks. "Since you're a first time customer, I'll discount that for you. Just a single gold piece is all, and remember Amin's Oddities for whatever you need to find those magic artifacts!"
You bear the strange looks from passersby on your way toward the coast. Along the way, you pass through the city's temple district, which contains three of the largest structures in town, great temples that each bear a separate insignia carved into their imposing doorways.
Harmony continues to make her way to the Order of Skogyr, smiling and wondering if the others are also on the way to the same place too. She then noticed all the temples, amazed as she saw the three very large temples with the insignia on each of them. Harmony was curious as to what each of the insignia are as she walked, thinking that maybe they are for different religions or something.
Abraxas raises his hand and does his best not to follow Garu. "I'm sorry," he says. "We're here for information, rather than action. Why would you be expecting us?" he says to the man with the large glasses.
At the same time, he leans over and casually closes the nearest open book not one is reading. "It's better for their spines," he whispers to Garu, closing another open book.
Aisha strolled through the town in the same dress as she had before, remaining blissfully unaware of it. Things were looking up.. they had found a much faster way to get here... and perhaps they could use that to make money in the future... say via import/export.... regardless, they were near their objective, and Aisha atleast knew where to go. Thinking to herself.. Ah yes... Aisha should head to the city square so that she can meet with... it was at that moment, she felt a tugging at her chest...
Aisha felt like she needed to check this out, her head swiveling until she identified the source... It seemed every place here was named with a similar mehcanism, making her chuckle as she entered...
"In...information? You're not the ones that took the job for the Wysto," The bookish man realizes. "Damn them! They were supposed to be here a tenday ago. Do you know what this will do to our reputation? People just don't understand! How are you supposed to function as an adventurers' guild if there are no adventurers!"
After a shout of frustration, the man clears his throat and looks around awkwardly for a moment. "Now, then, sorry about that. I am very busy. How can I help you. Are you adventurers? And if so, please tell me you are looking for work."

HARMONY:
You continue on past the temple district toward the edge of the city. There are many citizens - elves, humans, and large panda-like humanoids walking through this section of town, and their wary stares make it even clearer that you are unique here among your kind. You hear music coming from a multi-story pagoda ahead of you, mixed with a smattering of applause, and beyond it lies the sea. You can smell the salt and fish through the breeze that moves through gaps in the city's outer wall.
________________________________
AISHA:
The tower holds an inn inside, as you once again step into a crowded tavern thick with the scent of cheap ale. Outside of the doors, you hear a bard reciting poetry between musings on the flute.
My comrade will return again, though she has traveled far. Matching wit and steel, my friend will walk by stream and star.
Through desert sands we made our way, two lions in pursuit. Toward the fabled cave that day, our quest to snatch some loot.
In darkened lair we dared to tread, soon under siege by beasts. Each sting and painful bite we fled, with laughter we did feast.
With swirling cloak and cheeky grin, a timely gibe to make us smile. Shoots her arrows to fight and win, then stop to ponder life awhile.
Each night with blade I'd walk the town, on paths of change I was borne. With sable robes and eyes of brown, wondering til the break of dawn.
Some months before up on the trail, we drank the brew and sang of war. Fought bandits by the mountain vale, into the woods we searched for more.
In autumn hills one year on, running from giants in the mist. Blizzard soon descends upon, our strange adventures twist.
Perhaps one day we'll go to hell, trashing gates that evil had. I know and I will proudly tell, I'll be there with my comrade.
In this tavern, you blend in more easily with the elves and humans inside, along with a few of this world's Nekomata that share the resemblance with your own kind and a lone Kitsune sitting in the corner, watching the performing bard intently. Following his line of sight, you lock eyes with the bard, and the flute stumbles as he squeaks a few bad notes before halting his play altogether.
In turn, the crowd follows the musician's line of sight back and forth between you and him. There stands before you a familiar Nekomata, his prisoner's garb replaced now by a colorful purple tunic and green beret but his eyes and flute unforgettable: Mro Jus Bir, standing mouth agape.
Aisha stared, a bit dumbfounded that of all places, she would run into Mro here... Thoughts and questiosn filled her mind, as well as the playful curiosity to make a scene... but.. what sort of scene? She stood there pondering for a moment exactly what she wanted to do. The Kitsune forgotten almost immediately as it's presence had been noticed. Aisha thought she recognized part of the poem to be stating what happened on the moon, but a lot of what came after made her confused as she didn't recall any of that.... Finally deciding on plan of action..
Aisha shakily points her finger towards Mro, she wasn't looking 100% as beautiful or attractive as she normally did but she wasn't too far off.. in fact, if anything it would only lend to the ploy she was about to play off... Aisha fell to her knee's as if struck, clutching her chest. It's... it's you... her voice quivering as she falls further, catching her self with her other arm. Eyes locked to his as she tries to force out enough moisture in her eyes to make it look like she's on the verge of tears. This one did nyot know where you .. had went.... after the fighting ended... Aisha couldnyot find you anywhere.... beforre we parrted.... you made such prromises to Aisha... You said you would love me, and start a family with me... it made me .. so happy. That you would accept one such as this one.. despite the fact she will die early... her lips turned to a frown, as they began to quivver harder, makign her words come out in a soft wail as they're spoken.
W-w-wherre did you go? Why did you leave this one alone when her heart only sought forr you? When you brrought a smile to this wretches face... and warmth to herr cold heart. After everrrything..****y to leave Aisha..... in that place....
She let that linger in the air for a moment, letting those words sink in before continuing with her play... looking downcast and at the ground now. ...nevermind, this one forgives you... You must have had yourr rrreasons...Aisha knows you always know what is best... Aisha cannyot brring herself to hate you... Afterall.... Aisha carriers your child....
Harmony immediately hears the music and applause coming from the building ahead of her, excited. Someone must be performing, so glad to have found a place where she could possibly perform. So she quickly makes her way to the building and wanting to go inside.
Garu looks to Abraxas for confirmation, still a tad unsure about everything that's going on, but nods and replies, "Yes - I believe us to be adventurers though we have 2 more with us...they've not yet arrived"

"Lyrikav, we believe, offers rewards for the return, I imagine to you, of magic weapons and artifacts," Abraxas says. "That is the specific type of work we are looking for. Though we may, if it is possible, keep the items in lieu of the finder's fee associated with them." Abraxas watches the man with glasses. Proper light is so important when reading.
A wide range of emotions cross Mro Jus Bir's face in the span of seconds - the shock of familiarity replaced by a wry smile as you begin to twist the tale, then the exaggerated emotion of a storyteller at work.
"My ladies and gentlemen, I..." he pauses for effect, "I apologize for the sudden stoppage of my performance. I fear I cannot go on tonight. You see...this is her...this is my comrade, that I sing of to you this night. She...she has returned to me."
The bard leaps from the stage, running toward you with an effect of delight (and a subtle wink your way).

HARMONY:
Beautiful, light-hearted music washes over you upon entering the Hallowsong. The upscale inn and tavern currently contains at least two dozen elves and a smattering of humans eating their midday meals while an elven trio plays upon a stage. A fiddle, horn and lyre weave an upbeat song that stutters just a bit as they catch sight of your exotic appearance, but they quickly find the beat again and continue playing.

ABRAXAS & GARU:
"Aha!" the bookish man shouts. "You're here for a Turmaether expedition, I knew it. Well of course you can keep whatever you find, but I would ask that you allow us to at least chronicle the items if you don't want payment for them, but I warn you, the last groups that thought they could find their riches there came back with empty hands, and some with no hands at all."
He watches Abraxas closing the books and nods. "If you want something you're more likely to return intact from, I, uh...I still need some hands to assist the Wysto," he says.
Harmony saw the elves playing the upbeat song, smiling as she found an empty seat and listened to them play. Once they are done, she would clap happily before going up to them with a big grin. "That was wonderful! Such a upbeat and light-hearted song, I could easily sing and dance to it." she had said to them, so happy to meet other musicians here.
