[ A nod. ] They use "gil" or whatever, but you know what to do if there's some... Disagreement. [ Five finger discount. Anyway, who did she want to talk to? Or did she want to wait for Kashuu for when Aki slides back in. Maybe pet a black chocobo. ]

[allomantic]

[she's going to head back to the knight she was talking to before! the one who thanked her.]

Hello.

[disestablishment]

Hello again, young miss. He is one of yours? [ He looks over to Vax and... For some reason, it would seem that when Vin left him, he has become more. Depressed looking, but he's safe. There are other knights looking after him and the rest. ] He appeared in the flurry of the tundra some days ago and went through much questioning. Very ostentatious that one, but I like the energy. We will do what we can to keep him hale. [ Anyway: ] You had questions for me, I imagine?

[allomantic]

[she nods, though when he seems Sadder now that she's left, a frown crosses her face.]

He is... Please make certain he's well taken care of. Don't let him leave while he's still injured.

[her vax..... but she nods.]

Yes. He said that your intention was to fight Nidhogg, correct? Where would we go to do that?

[disestablishment]

[ Sometimes npcs mull over their not-cyoa adventures where their twin brutally dies and it's traumatic. ] Right... I do remember him making attempts at escape before when he got injured the other day. [ Haurchefant strokes his chin, but a stern nod. He's resolute in keeping Vax SAFE. ] Aye, but that is not the objective of my garrison. We here in Falcon's Nest are to hold this front while a special squad will coax Nidhogg out. You would need to speak to the Lord Commander for any details on that. [ ... ] You are here to assist us? [ con... fusion. ]

[allomantic]

[she nods.]

Yes, we're here to help you. I will come back for him [gestures to vax] shortly, but I don't want him more hurt... Where is your Lord Commander?

[disestablishment]

Understood. [ Makes note to make Vax super safe. ] Within Ishgard's walls, most likely in the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly, headquarters to the Temple Knights.

[allomantic]

[she nods.]

Thank you. Can you tell me what the building looks like, so I can find it once we go there?

[disestablishment]

[ A small chuckle. ] What about I do you and yours better? [ He proffers her a map! Instantly, Vin will know where to go in Ishgard. ] Consider it thanks for lending us a hand earlier... And if either of you need aught, tell me. Here in Ishgard, we repay in full and more and I would be delighted to serve. [ ... ] ... I do wish to speak out of line and station. It may come strange, as who would ever deny help during dire times, but this not need be your fight—this war does not need to be yours. You can find succor in Ishgard, mayhap flee to safety elsewhere.

[allomantic]

Oh - thank you!

[map obtained... but she pauses.]

Perhaps. [but she doesn't know what else to do besides that, so.] We can at least speak to him or her and decide what to do from there.

[disestablishment]

[ Politely, he salutes to her. ] Again, aught you need, I'm here. [ Oh, right: ] Remember to attune to the Aetheryte, so you may teleport to Falcon's Nest whenever you find yourself ever far. [ He gestures to the large blue crystal that sits in the village. ]

[allomantic]

Oh - alright.

[she goes to do that before running off with kashuu!! but before she goes:]

It is appreciated.
