Flea hated the eluvians just on their nature. She didn't trust them any more than she did humans, no mater how long they had been around or how many times they had been used. Just the thought of them made her skin crawl. Ships, horses, and her own two feet did just fine, at the end of the day. Several nights and days with her mentor and father suited her just fine. And, it would give her time to confess to him what she would be doing for the elf Ailwin going forwards.
Hopefully he would understand why she made the deal the way she did. And perhaps working with this woman Bajie was taking them to would work for Ailwin too. It would offer him eyes into another operation. All journeys start with a single step. You told me that once. And one must take a thousand to be sure of something. I know the work ahead of us, and look forward to it. I'll make sure we have a bottle of something that is equally as foul as it does burn on the way down, for those nights when sleep will not come.
An old trick in the ring. The worse the rotgut, the faster one could fall asleep. I would never dream about making you go anywhere without snacks, the trip would be intolerable..
