[forward-dated to July 6th]

[soudacan]

[ Every man has to have a perilous journey once in their life. For this teenager in particular, he has spent the greater part of the month on horseback with a particularly ornery horse and a map gained through the trading of wares and little else. Souda knows nothing of surviving in the wild-- his nights were spent in bug-filled tents and his days were spent navigating and sometimes getting turned around because he just couldn't control his horse. He's lost several days getting away from Caer Scima, and frankly, he never wants to do this again. ]

[ Fast forward several hours, particularly to July 6th. He's finally made it to the station. He's a complete mess, struggling, hungry, and bitching the whole way through. He ties up his horse wherever it's supposed to go, with a quote of "If someone steals ya, I won't complain even a li'l!"

A fairy stops him. He tells it he just got done with the worst month of travel in his entire life and he wants nothin' to do with nobody until he's got fresh clothes and contact solution.

He's then told about the new feature. On the maps. The fairy rings. There's now a way to travel with much greater ease.

The look on Souda's face is priceless. ]
