Synthesis looked at Vinsue with admiration. "You're good at languages," She said, "You could make a living as a translator."

She then stepped onto the boat and was amazed by the way it rocked in the air a foot off the ground.  It rose very slowly once they were both on board and began to climb lazily into the sky Synthesis felt her eyes drooping once more and figured that Vinsue could wake her upon their arrival. If she slept now she would be more rested too. She wondered as she drifted whether she could do anything for money in the city to fund raise for her flight home on an airship.

"When you travel like I do you learn the main tongs and a few others rather quick. but being a translator is not for me. to latterly play parrot on two or more tongs are not for me." Vinsue said not really bothering to get comfy for the short ride. She looked over at synthesis. once the small boat stopped she thanked the man and helped the girl out before looking for ports. She quickly found one and pointed to it.

"There is the docks you want to come with me to find a ship over, or you want to rest a wile more?" she said as she looked at some of the various writings ant types on the boats. all stating names or home ports. She smiled as she did see a few that seamed to have English and Spanish writing.

Synthesis stepped out the little boat with Vinsue's help and shook herself awake. No more dozing. No more eyes sliding closed. She would now walk briskly in the high cold air until she was awake enough to function as usual. She needed to work and she didn't want to take forever about it and slow Vinsue down.

"I think we need to raise some money before I can afford to get on an airship. Perhaps I could offer to do odd jobs or cleaning or something. I'm sure a tavern would let me advertise my services for a little while on one of their boards. Then I could check in with them every now and again while I waited for someone to accept. We could sightsee while we wait. Of course you can go on without me now if you are in a hurry. You don't have to wait around. Or I could just work in a tavern and leave it at that. The only problem is I might look a bit young. Have you got any ideas? I know airship travel is quite expensive so I wouldn't dream of letting you pay for the trip, especially as you have essentially funded my travel across the breadth of Parvpora. It would have take me tripple the time to make my way here without your help. So thank you." She continued to muse in her head. Working was so difficult. Even finding a job is was pain, especially for someone of her age.

She looked at the girl as she made two things clear. she was going to work and she was not letting vinsue pay for the voyage. She did look way too young to work on the tavern much less be in or near one. She smiled at the work drive in the girl and the want to earn her way across. "With that pile of scales you could likely make 3 trips and have coin left over. Take a sheet or two of the stuff and trade it in the shop. make sure to get as much out of it as you can and meat me back hear, ok?"

She turned and left towards the ships. she would not leave the girl and she needed to find the better cheaper flight across.

"Oh my goodness! I completely forgot about the skin!" Synthesis cried in amazement and joy, "It looks like I won't have to work so hard after all. Thank you so much! I shall meet you back here."

She turned to pull the skin from where she had been storing it between bulging wings. It shimmered slightly in the light. She turned and ran off, looking for anything that looked like a market. She saw plenty of unofficial stalls but she wasn't going to sell there. She just knew they would try to get her to sell for a ridiculously low price. Soon, she was feeling a little lost and turned to a man in the streets.

"Excuse me," She said shyly, "Could you tell me where the market is?"

"My shop is over there," He said slyly, "What are you looking to buy - or sell." He grinned like the cat that got the cream.

"No," She insisted, "I'm sure your shop is nice but I am looking for the market."

His face dropped into a scowl and he shrugged unhelpfully. She had to ask four more people before a woman actually pointed down a wide street and explained that she should find some stairs that way. They said she should continnue upwards as far as the steps would go. She followed their instructions and soon found herself in a more respectable looking neighbourhood. There were decent looking housing, spacious roads and pretty decorations. When she asked for further directions she was pointed across a wooden bridge between island pieces and then up some more steps. Her heart quickened as she struggled against the temptation to look down. It was strange how an airborn creature such as herself was afraid of falling. She was truly a cowards. Finally, she had to cross another, second wobbly bridge to find herself in the bright market place.

Everywhere was a busstle with life here. The girl had to worm her way through hoards of people in order to get anywhere at all. But eventually she did find a stall which evaluated and bought various things from people. She waited in a very long queue for around a quatre of an hour before she was seen to and presented the skin to the man at the table. He seemed surprised by the amount that she brought and set about testing its validity. He seemed even more surprised to find it was genuine.

"This is good skin," He said, "I am willing to offer you sixty silver for it."

Synthesis was most happy with the number and would have accepted it if it were not for the people murmuring behind her that it must be worth more. She shook her head and said "More." And so the bartering began. It took quite some time and the crowd behind her seemed to get quite exited by the spectable. The keeper was getting more and more annoyed while the girl was getting increasingly nervous and yet she stuck with what the whispers seemed to suggest and over the space of ten minutes or so managed to hitch up the price to one hundred and thirty silver pieces. She felt proud as she walked away with a little pouch jingling.

On her way back to meet Vinsue she was careful to walk quickly and keep her earnings hugged tight to her chest. No pickpockets would be able to get it from her, no matter how skilled. Sh begame lost twice but eventually found her way to where Vinsue and her had parted. At least, she was fairly sure that she was in the right place.

Vinsue walked to one of the ships and quickly started to talk to the various men carrying things on and off of the various ships. She found that the ships where going all over the place and she eventually found one going to pirate haven. she would have taken it but she had a bad reputation there and the girl would be safer not going there. She also did not want to get the girl in trouble by association so she kept looking.

She had found a ship heading to the port at Adeluna. it was not far from her home and not a place that would cause her friend or her harm. it had rules but it would be safe. She had talked to the captain and got a far price for the long journey and he promised to save two bunks for her he also made sure to tell her that they left in an hour with or without her and her friend.

She hurried off to find the girl and sure enough she was standing where she left her. a new glow of accomplishment in her face. she knew the girl had did what needed to be done. "So how much you sell and for what price." he said as she leaned against a light pole.

"One hundred and thirty silver for all of it," Synthesis beamed and held up her giant pouch of treasure, "Which is pretty good, I thought, considering that I only brought as much as I could carry in my wings. He tried to offer me only sixty but I haggled him right up! Oh yes, and I still kept a tiny scrap because… because I don't really know why. I just like to keep pretty or unique things. Which isn't really great for the lifesyle of a nomad but I simply can't help myself. You should see all the pretty stones, strange woods and colourful ores I carry around in my bag with me! What about you? Did you find us an airship?" She asked earnestly.

she was carful not to show surprised looks of disappointment. 130 silver was nothing for the skin but she was not going to tell her that. She also sold all but a small portion. the small peace she would keep or memories sake. that price for a sheet was reasonable but she had more than that. next time she would help the girl with trading. "Glad you got the price up men think cause were women we don't know the value of things or how to haggle." she said carful to keep a happy tone and doing a good job of it.

"I did find an air ship and it will be parting soon it will cost 90 silver coins each witch was cheep saying that's its going to Adeluna. come we must board and pay or get left behind" she turned and started walking once she was sure the girl was coming. "once we get there it is about a days journey to my cave. I would love for you to see it even if it is for a night. I like you love to collect trinkets and things I would love to show you." She said as she approached the ship and quickly found the captain. She than paid for her board and waited for the girl to do the same. 

"Super! Thank you! I did do my best. Let's get going then! Please lead the way," Synthesis replied cheerfully, none the wiser about Vinsue's true opinion on the matter. She linked her arm through the dragons and followed her lead as they began to walk onwards. "Evidently it was a good job that I did haggle, because if I hadn't I wouldn't be able to afford the trip. But anyway… Adeluna is a good place to be. I go there whenever I am passing it. I'm always willing to visit new places too so I would love to visit your home. I'm sure it is beautifully decorated with many shiny things." She grinned.

The two of them had been walking briskly until the port came into view. It was huge, as was the airship. The girl was so busy looking around at everything that she almost walked into several people but dodged just in time. She caught sight of the captain standing outside. They approached him and Synthesis was soon prompted to coint out her ninety coins, which took a little while. The captain then waved at them to get on the ship and turned to see to next people waiting behind him. They hurried to get in and Synthesis breathed a little harder than usual as they finally came to a stop. They had gotten on in time as only two minutes later the ship could be felt lurching as it as untied and then rising steadily into the air. "Phew! We made it," Synthesis laughed, "Where do we go now? Did we get a cabin or is there a room where we should go to sit for the journey? I might do a little reading if I get the chance."

"you have no clue how my hoard shines but I must worn you not all should be touched" She said as they found there way onto the ship. when she asked where to go she smiled. than remembered her sweet gum limbs she picked and stared to dig threw her pack. finding them she pulled the two out and debarked it before handing it to Synthesis than doing the same to the other. "chew. it helps keep the pressure in your head from making your ears hurt." She than started chewing on hers. she than shouldered the pack and looked for a window. finding a large one she smiled.

"first sky ride right? Come. I have a treat for you." she said half pulling the girl to the window. "they like to take these things higher than winged creatures usually fly and it gives an amassing view." She said before taking a steadier stance to keep from falling when the ship changed speed than took hold of the girl to help her keep balanced.
