(If Cheerwind’s little twirl to show off her spider silk robe is at the right angle, Mneta will see what fairies wear under their robes, but she’ll keep quiet.  Cheerwind remembers that Gnomes like to either live in the woods for the extra protection, or in the middle of town for the interaction.  Two hours from the ranger station and about 6 days walk from the capitol is a good balance, if she asks.  Does Cheerwind mention to Mneta that she feels underdressed?)<br/><br/>“Shyeal,” says Mneta.  “It seems the first thing is to find a money exchange, to find out what I’ve got to work with.  Then that…lamb is a livestock?  We can get some food that tastes better than Airship fare and eat it on the way to the university.  Is that a …trolley?” (she points at one)  “That is so cute.  Does it go to the University?”  (a line does, about every hour to coincide with classes)   “Do you think we’re dressed ok?  Are they the type to make that an issue?  Oh, and our gnome friends.  Please hold off on calling me “The Space Girl”, what if they increase prices or something because of it?”  The gnomes mutter among themselves (“Oh yeah, hadn’t thought of that”) and tone down on the incessant excited babbling since they’d met you.  Soon, Mneta has several pouches of the local money (and a statement of value for about 5 of her largest diamonds), you’ve got bags of full meals you can scarf on the way over (the gnomes paid for the group, “Thanks gnomes”)<br/><br/>Did anyone tell Mneta that the university was class conscious (usually, but anyone who knows suspects not in these circumstances) and they should get new clothes?
