With some consideration towards their location, Ludo ultimately decides that they will still pass through Gilvgal on their way to see the sage, stopping at the knights’ barracks to meet with his captain. Once the injuries have been seen to and Noel stops asking questions about the lack of royalty, they get moving towards the nearby town.
As you travel, you realize that you have been hearing music this entire time. Softly, carried by the wind, and it hasn’t stopped at any point. As present as the wind and sky, the song follows your path through the grassy fields. Caelum is, quite truly, beautiful; the endless sky stretches out all around you, the wisps of the cloud layer curling around the edges of the island. In the distance, that tree trunk is visible now, and you can see a mass of crystal sprouting from within it. The lands around you though are pastoral and calm, with the occasional livestock corralled near a farmhouse, or a field of grain switching the green swaths to gold.
It doesn’t take too long to reach the village of Gilvgal, tiny as it is. Ludo brings the group to the knights’ barracks, visibly growing less sure of himself upon their arrival.
“Um… so… Thou art still strangers here, so I ask thee to be prudent and patient.” He goes to knock on the door, and then remembers he fucking works here and walks in, motioning for you all to follow.
:pffthank:
he said “thou art” lmao. “thee”? …discreetly.
Honestly, he can still hardly believe he’s here. But maybe after they’ve settled a bit and had a meal… Ezekiel wonders about what the food is like here, actually.
He wordlessly salutes Ludo and then enters the barracks once instructed and waits for him to do the honours. The music doesn’t go unnoticed, but right now that’s not what he’s most curious about at the moment. Also now we’re starting to really think alike, Ezekiel…
:clueless:
When have we not?
