The caravan into Gridiana was quiet, as a young Au Ra rested her eyes. Wearing only a loose white dress - standing out against her heavily blackened Xaela scales - she let out a soft sigh, as the Twelveswood passed her by. By her side was nobody - though it seemed caravanners or merchants would take this trip, the one she'd seen had decided to wait. (Or so she wagered.) Across from her, however, were two twins - Elezen? The two were children - one resting as the other looked determindly to the path ahead.

It was the determined one - the boy - who spoke up. "Pray tell me, have you been to Gridiana before?" His voice - well, it sounded close to dropping, though it hadn't already. The other one - the girl - remained quiet, letting out a soft snore.

"...I have not," the Au Ra said, before shifting so she wasn't quite on her tail. "Have you, ser...?"

"Alphinaud. And I have - it has quite the interesting history. Did you know the Moogles aren't native to here? They descended from the clouds in the old times, but slowly forgot their origins. And so, the Moogles down here have grown a lot smaller.

--What's your name?"

The Au Ra gave a small grunt, her expression a little awkward. She'd heard of Moogle, yes. But... how big was one? "...Bolormaa, of the Sagahl."

As her name slipped from her lips, Bolormaa seemed to shift a little more, sitting slightly forward to the two Elezen - and the sleeping girl looked to her, slightly tilting her head. But before she could talk, Alphinaud began again. "And why are you coming to Gridiana, Bolormaa? Aren't your kind from... across the sea?"

"..."

Alphinaud continued, with Bolormaa quietly looking away. "And you don't have a weapon. Are you planning on making a life as a merchant, or--"

"--I plan to learn to fight. For the good of Eorzea."

A bump in the road shook the three, with the three letting out different grunts - the second of the twins finally sitting up, rubbing her head - lingering on one of her ears. And then, she spoke - looking between Alphinaud and Bolormaa.

"Do you have room for another adventurer, Bolormaa?"

Alphinaud put a hand to her, as the female Elezen sat forward, to continue. "My name is Alisaie-- I want to adventure though Eorzea."

Bolormaa looked her over, hands shifting in her lap, as the Gates of Gridiana became visible in the distance. "...Are you sure, Alisaie? You seem to have a fine brother..."

At that, Alisaie chuckled. "Alphinaud? He's taking the first airship out of here to Ul'Dah. We were going to take a caravan there, but he happened to end up--"

"Alisaie!" Alphinaud looked about as red as Alisaies' hair tie - as she laughed a little, a laugh worthy of a noble. But then, if she were noble - Bolormaa couldn't help but wonder why. Perhaps, if she had a chance to get to know her...

...she would learn more. Giving the smallest of nods, Bolormaa smiled. "I'd enjoy your company, Alisaie."
