Kelaris leads the way, though she very nearly stumbles and falls, when Amara says that she's a virgin. "That's... quite the story," she says, recovering from her stumble fairly quickly, but now picking up the pace, and keeping one eye on Amara, to make sure she doesn't slip away. Or get kidnapped.<br/><br/>"The city?" She smiles. "It's a beautiful place, full of beautiful people," she says, wistfully. "This is where everyone important lives, on the islands. The Queen and her guards keep the peace, so it's one of the safest places you can be, and everyone works for one of the masters or mistresses who rule the islands."<br/><br/>They reach the gate, moments later, and Kelaris pulls out a small gemstone on a leather cord, holding it up to show the guards. "She's with me," she says, gesturing to Amara. The guards inspect the gem for a moment, then wave the pair on through, up the well-maintained bridge towards the large island that holds the city. "Where are you from?" she asks.
