Tori
Tori was grateful for Rainer’s permission to head to Arcadia and painted on a smile as Durga, the ever antagonistic Durga, decided to try and pick a fight or something.
“Wow, Durga. You powers of observation are as incredible as ever. Yes I am going off to Arcadia, just like every other time I’ve taken leave and requested permission to go there. How did you ever deduce my destination? Oh, I know! I always go there! If you’re really that worried about me come along. There is literally no way for me to take up an entire airship by myself so maybe if you leave some of your ego behind you’ll fit!” sniffing Tori walks through the window and drops to the ground lightly before walking to the port.
Upon arrival, Tori was actually smiling as she watched the preparations get underway. Turning as she heard the familiar voices of the foxy twins who graciously invited her to accompany them to Aquaria. Smile drooping when they mentioned another guest and even have him join in on her Arcadia expedition... well she supposed a pack mule wouldn’t go amiss. Blankly staring for a moment, Tori sized him up as to whether he would actually be of any help.
"Sure. It's not currently my place do dismiss help from a willing pack mule. Besides, it's their ship. If they want you, then what can I say about it? Although it is odd that you speak of 'heading to Arcadia' as if walking down to the general store. Don't get eaten pack mule." spinning on her heel, Tori walked off.
Despite her misgivings, Tori managed to enjoy her trip in the airship, largely by ignoring everyone else and reading to pass the time. Once she arrived Tori looked somewhat... peaceful looking over the trading capital of the Imperium. Aquaria had a refined and refreshing atmosphere that made her wish to never leave. She had actually applied more than once to be relocated to the Intelligence Division branch in the city, but never heard back from the department in charge. Following the twins, Tori went to pay her respects to their mother.
“They were no bother at all Lady Berlina. Your beautiful girls were gracious enough to allow me to ride with them on the way here” smiling, Tori always enjoyed the company of Berlina Aquarian, she was kind enough to actually put up with Tori’s presence and found that all her stress seemed to wash away in her serene presence. If she could live a relaxing life, working in this library, Tori would be content. Surprised when Berlina brought up Alex, Tori briefly turned around and was shocked to see the pack mule still there.
“You’re still here? I thought you tricked your way here to pawn some gold watch or something. You're an odd one, pack mule.” turning back around, Alex’s presence was immediately dismissed once more and smiled at Berlina.
“Lady Berlina, no need to be modest, you know perfectly well how important your role is and if I may speak on a personal note, how important you were in helping me chose my career. Without you I wouldn’t be where I am today.” bowing politely she raised herself up again
“I don’t wish to impose so after I contact the local Intelligence Division I should have a more accurate timetable of when I can set off for Arcadia. I’m more than willing to let your daughters accompany me if that is your wish, it would simply be an extra two pages to formally add them to my expedition party.”@KoL@TheWindel@Flamelord
