For Amissa, the journey ahead stirred a peculiar sense of unease, the weight of past betrayals lingering in the depths of her heart. Yet, she steeled herself against the tinge of guilt, recognizing this as an opportunity to leave the shadows of her past behind.
When Kirara proposed stowing their belongings first, Amissa nodded in agreement, “Sure thing, sweetheart. But let’s be real, you’ll be lost without me,” Ferox chimed in with a playful smirk, his eyes sparkling with mischief. Ignoring the fact that Kirara’s comment wasn’t directed at him, Ferox couldn’t resist basking in the flattery, offering a cheeky wink over his shoulder. Then he turns towards Ivadriel as he introduces himself. “The pleasure’s all mine, my icy beauty,” Ferox replied with a playful wink, his tone dripping with flirtatious charm.
As they strolled through the bustling streets, Ferox caught Ivadriel’s comment about staying forever. “Ah, you’re always welcome here, darling,” he teased, his grin widening mischievously. “Members of the organization even get the royal treatment, you know, free of charge."
As they made their way towards the harbor, where Ferox’s family tavern awaited, Kirara voiced her concern about timing their arrival with Aevus’. Ferox’s smile widened, a mischievous glint dancing in his eyes. “Oh, my dear, fear not,” he replied, his voice dripping with charm. “I’ve got the arrival and departure times of every ship in these waters locked in my head. As for the ship carrying Aevus, it’ll glide into port just as the sun begins its golden descent. If we’re there to catch that shimmering sunset, we’ll be right on cue.” He explains.
As the salty sea breeze swept towards them, Amissa turned to her companions she suggested, that they explore the city, sharing that she knew a few charming spots but acknowledging that Ferox, might have even more to offer. Yet, she couldn’t help but add a playful warning, indicating that she fully understood if they desired a respite from his endless charms, as he could go on for hours on end.
