Symes sighs as soon as Prang breaks the connection and fades from view.
Sighing, or showing any kind of disapproval would have proven very painful
for Symes indeed if Prang witnessed it.
"But I do so very much curse the day I got involved with you," Symes
sighed, gathering up what will be needed for his assigned task.
Meanwhile, Astra, Jarlath, and Annafrid have gathered in one of the
rented bedrooms and where quietly chatting away.

"I mean....I am interested in this mysterious land you hale from....even
if in an oblique manner by you being from.....an analogous world
of where we met," Annafrid says eagerly, wanting to hear.
"Well, understand that the history of that Aqualaria is

oddly enough.

begins, settling into her story.
