"No ships please. They're noisy, smelly, and dirty, full of sick people; in terms of both health and mind. And seasickness."

*Hu Lang recalled her own experience with her way to Salvania. It was not fun, as it was difficult, if not near impossible, to stay hygienic. And while she loved Sirdan, she would be sure she would love him just a little less if he smelled all the time.*

"I thought mercenaries just take jobs for about anyone, no?"

*She recalled the mercenaries she had hired once; they didn't care about who they were fighting, as long as the pay was good. Tian did love the idea of Sirdan always being close by, the pair slinging arrow and spell alike. She tried imagining herself attempting to draw back a war bow; she most likely would sprain her shoulder or back doing so. Mmm, a massage seemed nice at this time.*

"I think it's about time we had that bath, no?"
Jodi
"Agreed." 

*Though Sirdan couldn't think of how living on the road was that much better. But at least taverns exists.* 

"Indeed, mercenaries take job from just about everyone. But if we are going on a warpath together as a couple, we better have some goal as we build up our own party. Gonna be killing for reason beyond gold, or we'll lose ourselves, you know?" 

*Sirdan walked toward the bathroom and then started preparing everything - a mandatory cast of fire spell to heat up the water, taking off of clothes, filling of warm water etc.* 

*He jump into the bath afterward and sit down, grabbing some soap to scrub himself off - scented Castille Soap, made from olive oil grown in southern Salvainia. Quite fragrant.*
Terrance
"Hm. With who though?"

*Choosing party members was going to be risky. Any female mercenary who seemed good enough would end up falling prey to her lover. Though she would worry about that later. For now, they needed to clean up. Taking off her clothes, Hu Lang gently lowers herself in with Sirdan, grabbing a sponge from nearby. She could definitely tell that he had gotten stronger as she ran the soap soaked sponge over his chest.*

"I missed these. A lot."
Jodi
"Not sure. Maybe we'll find some over in Mentia. Not Katherine for sure. I heard she found a new line of business." 

*Sirdan would grab a sponge himself, adding some soap, and then started brushing Hu Lang. Once he was done, he would turn her over to help clean her back and tails.* 

"Ah... This feels good. Haven't had anyone give me this for a while. Think we could live a life of luxury if we go on the war path in Mentia, mph?" 

*He closed his eyes.* 

"We'll have to think about where we go. Mentia is full of conflicts. But I don't see much of a purpose fighting on behalf of petty kings and lords. Not sure if you do." 

"I think..."

"We could side with the South, though I don't see muh of a moral impulse." 

*He let out a sigh. It was hard to get adventuring if they have nothing but money in mind.* 
"You wanna become a noble? I want to become a happy merchant, something short of true nobility."
