Re: Wasat - The Middle City
On trying to find others to question, Ravnar's search went higher into the tower. They quickly found a young man who would ponder on the whereabout of his colleague, before dismissing the problem and saying he would do it.
In trying to soften him up for more "out there" questions, they find some facts out.
From what they were able to gather, the tower was structured like this. Reception at the bottom, next it was the sorting rooms for making sure they were grouped for sections of the city and groups who worked there. After that, it was the restricted parts of the tower. Presumably the residential areas for the birds in question. It was important as not all birds were indeed owned by Wasat itself, some were owned by other people or originate from different places.
Beyond that, they had to deal with some covcays in the area as transport of some gifts could be stolen from the carrier birds if they were suspected. Thus the near sickly smell of honey on his person.

Outside, we find Syrio waiting for a while. The afternoon sun was merciful with the accompanying caress of the bay breeze. It turned the day into one of quiet beauty, you could take your time today, the breeze seemed to whisper. While Syrio was one for adventure, he could see how some would settle in a place like this.
Not quite his thing of course, this was Syrio we are talking about after all, but he couldn't fault them, not everyone was made to wonder beyond everything they knew to see the new horizon.
He knew some people would take their time to really prepare, but Syrio wasn't surprised. He couldn't help but smirk when he remembered that one time when a merchant's daughter who took an entire day to be ready for meeting him. But that is a story for another time.
It was around this moment that the receptionist was finally ready. Abrisham had sneaked her way out, as she wanted to surprise him, like he surprised her day.
He thought it might have been a trick of the light, but no, her hair was in fact gray. A light, soft gray, like a cloud that was unsure if it wanted to rain or not. But the rest of her was the body of youth. She had gotten an entirely different dress that looked nothing like her simple work robes. It covered her midsection and legs completely in baby blue, with waves of green at the bottom hem and stitchings of silvery clouds and white swirls. But her arms and shoulders were covered by a see-through white shawl.
"So, what do you think?" as she gave a twirl and laughed at herself. She had pulled all the stops (even asking a friend for a few jewelry pieces) to impress, it had to do something, surely. "Have an idea?" she questioned inquisitively.
When asking for more info from them both, especially on the two leads Besean said, be sure to roll +Cha
