PHOENIX: Three Wanderers #14. The Wonderful Tunes of Louis Bry!
--- Alqarf Min-alhazi: The Coastal Town ---
Dalia~ Where the hell do we even start? Which part is even south of this city!? Hey! Short Staff you got a clue?
Mahaz~ Shush women I'm thinking! Wait, what the hell did you call me!?
Dalia~ Short Staff. Rolls off the tongue.
Mahaz~ I'm going to ignore you again now... Let's start asking around. Louis Bry seems to be a big name, someone got to know where to find Anna.
Dalia~ Everyone looks so unwelcoming and busy! I'm getting anxious
She begins to aggressively pet Amyr in her arms.
Cain~ Well... I'm going to go look for some new clothes... or get these clean. Don't know if I'll find a place that sells Yakutas here. I'm not a pants-a-shirt guy either.
Dalia~ No way I'm letting you go about town alone! The last time I did that we ended up hanging out with this dude and beating up a bunch of bad people. I'm coming with you... Short Staff, meet us back here in 2hrs.
Mahaz~ alrighty.... STOP WITH THE SHORT STAFF
Dalia, Amyr, and Cain saunter to the streets of the large coastal town, still pretty much in awe of the staggering amount of people in shops. They checked a few stores here and there but nothing caught his attention. Dalia ended up spending a few dir(cash) on things for herself and Amyr. They ended up at a tailor's shop, who offered to clean and repair Cain's attire for a generous tourist discount.... 75 dir! The tailor asks Cain to strip and wait in the next room. Cain, now clad in his underwear, with Dalia and Amyr sat in a small waiting room that looked more like a comforting sofa room
Dalia~ You know... I should be comfortable with you in your underwear and all but we pretty much grew up together so I'm not impressed.
Cain~ Wow... thanks for the confidence boost. I'm sure if this was the other way around I would feel the same.
Dalia~ I'd stab you before you got those words out of your mouth... I'm more uncomfortable by the fact everyone in this town looks at us like a bag of money and ignorant tourists!
Cain~ Well you have a giant bag of things you just bought in your hand. So, I mean, are they wrong?
Dalia~ SHUT IT!
As the two bicker, they suddenly hear a tune from behind a paper wall door. It was a very welcoming tune that sounded twangy, as long notes were played. Cain and Dalia glanced at each other. There was someone else here. The sound continued and the only thing in Dalia's mind was "Oh good lord What is this person naked to!?" Cain shrugs and stands up, he moves the paper door over much to the dismay of Dalia. They see a lean-cut, average-height older man with dark brown skin and blue eyes with oval glasses. He has a long grey goatee that is braided and reaches his stomach and grey-swept short hair. In his hands was a large red Sitar that he continued to strum and enjoy. Dalia couldn't believe it.... The man was in his underwear as well!
Dalia~ AND THIS IS MY CUE TO LEAVE. SEE YOU OUTSIDE CAIN!
She grabs, amyr and her stuff and saunters out of the room! The man stools playing and finally notices Cain. Seeing a fellow naked guy, he smiled
Sitar guy~ Hello young one! Care to hear some more tunes?
Meanwhile, Mahaz finally got some information on Anna Bry! After extensive research at some fish shops and a bar, He heard that she tends to be at the beach near the shoreline this time of day. He finally gets there and sees a mob of people screaming and yelling. Huh, that's gotta be something right?
