"The trunk?" Zaya shakes her head at Guy. "Not really. Could see... traces? Bright lines in the sky. Where it should be. Beetle sailors told me it's much too far to really see. No one crazy enough to mount an expedition out there to look."
She pauses. "Not actually true. No one competent enough to come back. Maybe impossible. Doubt it."
---
Zaya then turns to Grok! "Impersonal as in. Very big. No sense of community. I mean. Community as a whole. Plenty of smaller communities in Stemspire, but. City itself is just a city. Doesn't look out for people like Zrucan does. Still. Decent enough. Easy to get books there. I like that part."
---
At Rozenn's note about helping people, Zaya just smiles. "I like the attitude. Can't stab the Dissonance away. But we do what we can for each other. No point otherwise."
---
And finally, to Avag! "Beetleship ports are in... the Nedakean Islands. Landed in Taagan. Passage, though... expensive. Very expensive. Less expensive if you're a Third Song user. Helps for navigating the Branch. ...I don't actually have enough to make it back. Reward from Sir Henri should cover it, though. I think. Worst case, have to earn some money here first."
Zaya stands, grabbing one last pretzel. Delicious. "Getting late. Should go soon. Good talking, everyone."
On the way out, though, she takes notice of a big, ostentatious hat she'd failed to really look much at before! Zaya walks over to Brom. "Oh. Hi. Didn't talk to you yet. Assume you're going with us? Nice hat. Only decorative? Or... portable plant cultivator? Interesting. I'll ask you about it tomorrow. Long evening."
And with that, Zaya gave Brom a chance to respond and then took her leave!
