Captain Lockheart:
*smokes pipe some more*
"ha, the years still haven't changed the situation we are all in, and we HAD no honour then, we HAD to survive, like i say that situation hasn't changed..."

*looks at pocketwatch*

"bartender, i would like that drink before me and wazulu head off"

Wazulu :
*To Lock*
Everybody tries to survive- that's life, ain't it? I'd say people operated out of desperation before, but now I think it's greed. Call me old, but all this political upset is only going to escalate. We'll see hostile ships in the skies of Anvala before long, mark my words. Speaking of which, drink up, and lets get the hell out of here.

Captain Lockheart:
"ill drink to that"

*looks around*

"you know what, i like this place, its hospitable unlike to rest of the shitholes ive been to..., id be happy to lay down my life for ale THIS good.. especially with these spanking new weapons, heck, i could fit out a armada!"

*pulls out a handfull of brass coins and puts them on the bar*

"hold that last drink for me would you"

*grabs sword off of the counter and puts it half way in its scabbard before withdrawing it again and walking towards the door while doing a few practice swings*
*turns to face wazulu*

"are you coming?"

Wazulu :
As long as you don't do that with people I know watching. You embarrassing buffoon. I'll see ya round Yiski, keep this place open for us!

*Lockheart and Wazulu leave the Burning Skies*

Yiski:
--City Center--

*Roland and Ny-Lee were still sitting at the fountain. Neither said a word and Ny-Lee was leaning against Roland with her arms wrapped around his left and her head resting on his shoulder.*

*Roland shifted a little which caused Ny-Lee to break the embrace. Roland then stood up and stretched.*

"I think I have done enough introspection for the day."

*He reaches down and gestures for Ny-Lee to take his hand.*

"Since we here and I let you sit around doing nothing, I thought I would reward you with a nice dinner."

"Oh... where did you have in mind?"

"Well, it is not as fancy as our first date, but I hear they have a Frost Berry pudding dessert."

*Ny-Lee smiled and took Roland's hand and got up and started walking down toward Cafe Frostbite. When the two arrived, there were a fair number of people, but Roland could spy a few open tables and nobody waiting. A waitress approached them.*

"Is this a party of two?"

"Yes."

"Alright, please follow me."

*Roland and Ny-Lee were seated at a table inside, but overlooked a window into the City Center. After a look at the menus, Roland ordered the Anvalan special which comprised of steak imported from Aleston and a variety of vegetables grown only in the Crown Mountains. Ny-Lee ordered fish imported from the Chill Sea and a few sides with Yeshan origin.*

*As dinner went on, the two started discussing their future plans.*

"Darling, when we get married, are we going to stay here in Anvala, or move to Chang-ning?"

"I'm not sure. If we move back to Chang-ning, I'd probably find a military related job. How about you?"

"Well, before I found myself working full-time for Yiski, I did do some accounting for a few small businesses. I am certain I could get a job whether we stay here or not."

*The two kept talking as they ate dinner. Eventually, Roland ordered the two the Frost Berry pudding for dessert. When it arrived, it was pale blue and sparkled. The two took a spoonful of it and it was complete delicious bliss.*
