Mandalay, Cloud Street --> Mandalay, Town Exit
Ting's pace slowed a bit as he heard the question from Fio. Why did he become an adventurer?
"Well, if I'm being honest, it was mostly for the guild. I guess I just wanted a place to call home. Dunescar... isn't a very nice place, and I couldn't see myself living in Wude. The pokemon there seemed too prideful and everything there was about strength or contests. But when I heard about Songstream Hall, it sounded much better than where I was, so I made my way here. And besides, helping people sounds nice. It's much better than the other alternatives I had."Ting's pace picked back up as they progressed, following Fio, his metal feet making tapping sounds as they hit the road.
"It took me a long time to get here, but I'm glad I made it. I don't think I would have survived if I had stayed up north. This place is much nicer."Ting's eyes looked up, spotting the gate out of town. Hopefully Gale would be waiting for them there.
"Hey, look! It's the gate, we're almost there. If Gale is there, hopefully we can start moving out. And maybe he'll tell us about his fortune. I hope is was a good one like yours. Maybe I should get mine told sometime." Ting continued looking up towards the gate as they grew closer before finally arriving.
