Mariam nodded, as they slipped into the crowd, heading towards The Lusty Sow. She wasn't happy about the name, it inferred women were pigs, or that pigs felt lust, and neither of those things, she felt, were true in the slightest, but far be it from her to critique someone's place of business name. She knew Gabe was somewhere already in the city, so she was already more at ease with things being back in the same place as he. They had spent too long apart due to Mariam's distrust of the eluvians, and her absolute inability to sit still in a carriage. So boat it was.
She had caught Lyric's looks, and started to point out things that she herself had never seen. The night market was a place where anything went, especially in Antiva, but some of these items that were being hawked looked... suspiciously like things that would get someone landed in jail elsewhere. So Mariam did her best to avoid those vendors, no sense in getting themselves into trouble before they themselves were the cause of trouble.

You said you'd never been to Antiva before, right?Not that Mariam made it a habit to be back in the place. She liked to avoid it as much as possible but there were only so many places someone could go before one had to go to places one disliked.
