Blaine smiled a bit when he squeezed her hand back, nodding in agreement. "That sounds like a good idea. And the port is… Which way…?"

Andion inclined his head a little, "This way. I know where we're going, don't worry."

"Good," Blaine breathed, relaxing slightly. "Because I have absolutely no idea."

Andion cracked a hint of a smile, "Now you'll learn."

"Yes, I suppose I will," Blaine agreed, glancing over at him with a matching smile.

They walked for a good couple hours, Andion leading them through the back streets and alleyways. After what felt like eternity, the quiet rush of waves could be heard and the smell of salt became present.

Blaine looked around in wonder. This was all new to her; the sounds, the smells, everything. The port was nothing like where she had grown up.

Andion looked down at her with a soft smile, leading them across the dock and towards a tavern. He'd traveled before so this was nothing new.

“I feel like I look like I don’t get around much… But I suppose that’s nothing new, right? Being a port, there must be a lot of people like me who come through here like this. I would rather blend in, though…” Blaine rambled before biting her lip to stop herself.

"I hope you don't get sea sick," Andion said, looking out over the sea, "It's the worst."

“Do you get sea sick?” Baine asked, turning her attention from the sea to Andion.

"I used too. But I don't anymore." Andion replied, shrugging.

Blaine nodded slowly, humming in response as she looked back at the water.

“If it were under any other circumstance, I’d say it would be fun to go swimming, but we should probably just leave as soon as possible…”

“The ship doesn’t leave for two days, remember? We have a day to just… do nothing so we can go swimming if we wanted.” Andion shrugged.

“Hm, right… I suppose that’s true, huh?” Blaine remembered. “Do you want to?”

“Maybe we should put out things away first.” Andion chuckled.

“Well, yeah,” Blaine chuckled. “I meant after that.”

“Come on then.” Andion les them into the brightly lit tavern. It was fairly empty, a few people sitting by a fire drinking and talking happily and quietly. He led them up to the bar.
“Well ‘ey there. What can I do for ye?” His accent was clearly from somewhere far away.

“We were just wondering if you have any rooms available?” Blaine asked with a polite smile.

The man nodded, “As a matter o’ fact I do,” He knelt down and pulled out a small key, “Up the stairs and it’s the first room on the right.”

“Thank you,” Blaine said with a nod as she took the keys. “How much for two nights?”

“Ten pieces of gold,” The man said and Andion rumaged through his bag and held them out to him, “Thanks lad.”

“You ready to go up, then?” Blaine asked, turning to Andion.

Andion nodded, "Yeah, let's go. Thanks again." The man gave a small nod and set off cleaning the bar while the two walked to the stairs.

"That was surprisingly easy," Blaine said with a small smile as she followed Andion up. "Though, I guess there was no reason for it not to be…"
