Floriad was walking side by side with Silas, deciding to keep herself a reasonable size for the duration of the trip. It was true that they had a mount, but sometimes even hardy Vival deserved a break from being a beast of burden. That said, the cave drake was laden with bedrolls and various other things, and it kept at a steady pace behind the duo.<br/><br/>When Kaya voiced her grievances, it was all Floriad could do to not roll her eyes. She lacked the general understanding of what Kaya had gone through, but knew that the Epona didn’t like the city much. Floriad was indifferent. In fact, she had never been. But walls meant a large city, a large city meant a nice inn, and a nice inn meant nice beer, so she thought that there was little to complain about.<br/><br/>“Well, technically,” Floriad started slowly, facetiously. “You don’t have to come inside. I’m sure we can find you a nice stall in the local stable that you can wait in.”<br/><br/>That earned her a hard swat on the head from Silas, and her hat was knocked clean off her head. She scrambled to get it back securely on her head. “Don’t do that,” Silas hissed under his breath. He wondered if Kaya could hear him, but he still needed to get the message out. As they progressed onwards, Floriad had less and less of a filter, and if Silas’ hair wasn’t white, it would’ve gone it, what with him worrying about her insensitive remarks.<br/><br/>“Horrible screeching, you say?” said Silas, faintly amused. “Well, if that’s the case, I might just stay outside with you.” He paused, placing a hand on his chin thoughtfully. “Though, Kaya. It will be fine. You have us.” With that said, he placed a hand confidently on his mace and gave her a triumphant look, to which Floriad rolled her eyes.<br/><br/>Just as Floriad reached an arm out to lean on Silas, the Dokkalfr suddenly fell forward, taking her with him. She made an uncomfortable ‘Oof!’ sound and slowly got to her feet, trying to shake the dust off of her nice green dress. She held a hand out for Silas to take, and a gloved hand met hers and he was up in a matter of seconds.<br/><br/>Floriad, Silas, and Vival looked towards the column of light that had descended from the sky. Floriad whistled while Silas gaped, and Vival sniffed uncomfortably.<br/><br/>“So’s that what you’re looking for, or…?” Floriad trailed, halfhearted pointing at gleaming pillar.
