Amairei
Am smiled as she watched the flighty white-winged dragongirl as she sat down with a new pair of shoes. Wagner was adorable. She wanted to reach out and hug her again, but she kept her hands to herself for the moment. Her smile faded when Wagner mentioned looking for her dad.

"Huh? Your dad?"

"My dad! A great dragon knight from my tribe.. town.. whatever." the girl continued on, not knowing what words to describe her old man with.

"He went off on a journey one day a few months ago and never came back. We didn't get any letters, no communication, nothing at all. He just vanished! I know I'm young but I took it upon myself to look for him..." she looked to the ground, frowning. Was he in this city? Was he somewhere else? She didn't have any leads.

Elly's heart was torn by the story. As someone who'd spent considerable time looking for her parents she could relate. But this girl probably had a lot of advantages, like say knowing her father's name.

"Cheer up, I want to help you." Elly said, patting the girl on her shoulder, "If you're looking for someone, you've come to the right city. I bet there's someone here who's heard of him and can point you in the right direction. But first, what's his name?"

Amairei
"Oh, I'm sorry. That's a long time to be missing..." Amairei didn't actually have a dad herself, but she understood the meaning well enough. Now she really wanted to hug Wagner.

Thus, she did. "You're a brave girl Wagner."

"I-I'm not brave, I'm just doing what I think is right!" Wagner stood up, turning away from the two girls. "My dad's name is the same as mine. Wagner Renelia..." the girl sighed, trying to figure out why her father named her that.

Emi followed Alex's line of sight, and there it was. The sign had the owner's excessively long name on it and everything. "Yep, that's it!"

With that, she broke into a run across the wide street, through the direct sunlight, to the shop.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

"The same name as yours..." Am pondered for a moment, then shook her head. "I've never heard of him. I'm sorry."

"Me neither, sorry. If he's a dragon he probably didn't come in by bridge. But there's a chance he reported to the airport. How big a dragon is he?"

Absentmindedly Elly pulled out of her pocket watch, yeah she had a couple of hours before her next commission.

"He's a hybrid just like me." the girl answered Elly with a smile. Thoughts began to whirl in her mind about that strong man, the man who protected her from so much. She couldn't help but feel the need to find him.

"He's a Dragon Knight, tall, white hair just like mine... he lost his wings though..."

"Lost his wings? That must be horrible." Am's tail came around her and she gripped it. She couldn't imagine losing her wings.

"I don't think we'll find him here though.. unless his shoes fell apart too."

Emi hurried into the shop, her skin ceasing to tingle as she entered the covered confines of the building.

The shop was fairly expansive. There was a counter, and then clothes in shelves behind it... actually, there was lots of clothes pretty much everywhere they could be adequately hung. Most of it quite fancy.

The shopkeeper, a young woman, waved to them.

"Alright, see anything you like?" Emi said, turning to Alex.

"Oh, dear. The toad, the monkey, and the dog have all screwed up."

Elly shivered and momentarily held her wings close.

"He lost his wings? Then maybe he came across one of the bridge. We should check, anyway. He might have signed in. Or maybe one of the guards might remember him."

Elly chuckled, "Yeah you're right, he's unlikely to just show up if we don't do anything."

"So what do you guys suggest we do?" Wagner looked to Elly and then to Amarai. She appreciated the help but she was beginning to lose hope fast. She looked in three other towns before this and she didn't have any leads at all. She sighed, relieving some stress.

Alex
Alex entered the shop soon after Emi. She looked around at the clothes. The sheer volume of the shop's inventory taking her off guard.

"I think I might need to take a proper look first." she replied, "How about you?"

Amairei
Amairei considered Wagner's question for a moment. If you were in a town and looking for someone, what would be a good place to start? The guards might be a good idea, but they also see many people. She looked up and smiled.

"The inns! Check the inns. Um, how many are there in this city?"

"Ugh," Elly sighed, "Hundreds. Did he ever mention where he might have stayed on his previous trips?"

Not long after Chandri released the spell the summoning spell completed itself and from a flash of light came the bag's guardian... Which was not a terribly imposing figure. It looked like a small mammal of some sort, long and sleek, with white fur, small ears, a small green crystal embedded on his forehead on top of a dark brown diamond of darker fur. The small creature looked straight at Chandri, little legs flexed as if it were ready to pounce on him.

"You're in a magic circle so calm down," Chandri said, while mentally running through his short list of combat spells in case it got out. He also noted to himself the green crystal as a probable weakspot while brandishing his staff.

Whitebolt. Its iconic white building towering over all else in the city, the academy marked Hercine's center for knowledge and its pursuit. With mages from all walks of life and all fields of study, anyone with a passion for the universe and its inner workings would find themselves here.

Walking down the streets where the secrets of the world were uncovered, Luceid looked over her surroundings with bespectacled eyes. Maybe here is where she'd find what she was looking for. And if not, well, she could at least expand her own knowledge with Whitebolt's resources.

Flustered he couldn't be of further help, El Jabali tried to interject, "Excuse me, but I couldn't help hear that you ladies needed to find an inn, and needed to narrow your search down? I know of some of the more expensive inns in town, being a rather affluent man, after all."

"Actually I don't know much about my father's previous journeys.. I know he's killed large monsters, dragons and stuff but.. where he stays?..." Wagner looked down the ground in utter embarrassment. Her cheeks lit up with a bright red.

"I..I don't know."

Amairei
Am's eyes widened. "Hundreds?" She drooped. Checking so many inns would be impossible. Then, the orc spoke up, speaking of expensive inns. That sounded like a good place to start, but instead, she focused on the words expensive and affluent. That reminded her.

She frowned. "oh...right. I don't have any money."

She looked down at the shoes she'd picked out, and took them off.

"No no no, it's El Jabali's duty to help those less fortunate than me. Here." El Jabali withdrew three silver pieces from his pocket and handed it to her. "Should cover the shoes, right?"

Amairei
Am was surprised by the half-orc's sudden generosity. It hadn't occurred to her that a man might actually be nice to her. Something deep inside told her to avoid them, after all. She accepted the coins sheepishly.

"F-For me? Th-thank you, sir." She smiled and picked the shoes up, going to the shopkeeper to pay for them.
