To Nabata

[Miley]

"That's soooo cool! I've been everywhere in Elibe except for Nabata and the Western Isles, I have two brothers. My best friend is pregnant and married to my brother so that is like so awkward but kinda funny too because he's so nervous around girls and she's all like strong willed and cool allthough she seems to cry a lot ever since she got pregnant" Miley laughed thinking of the changed Belinda was going through.
"So why do you want to go to Nabata?" Miley asked.

[Marzius]

"sounds like you've lived quite a busy life," commented marzius, trying to stall answering the other question. even though he'd only known miley for a short time, he figured she wouldn't leave the question lie.
"i have a mission i have to complete, and it involves me going to nabata," he explained. "it's difficult to explain, but i know i must travel there."
he chuckled to himself.
"it's a top secret mission. perhaps after we've traveled together longer, i can tell you more."

[Miley]

"Ooh that reminds me do you know a shaman named Brad? I have to track him down and send him back to Ilia, it's part of my important quest" Miley said remembering what Niime had told her at the start of her long journey.

[Marzius]

"brad?" marzius clarified. "i'm sorry, but the name doesn't sound familiar to me at all. i don't suppose he goes by any other names, does he?"
he continued walking, glad at the time they were making. conversation made the going quicker.

[Miley]

"Not that I know of, Niime only said Brad when she told me to find him" Miley replied.

[Marzius]

"well, i'll make sure and keep my ears open for him then. i have quite a few contacts, surely one of them can find this young man for you. i honestly may have met him already and forgotten. i only try and remember the names of the pretty girls i meet, miley, it saves time," he grinned at her, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

[Miley]

"As flattered as I am, I have a boyfriend back home Joey" Miley lied, well sorta Joey was a boy and her friend even if they weren't dating anymore.
She let go of his hand, maybe she was giving him the wrong idea.

[Marzius]

"ah, i understand. well, i owe it to you both to make sure you are someday reunited!" he announced. "i would never do anything to a woman against her will, i assure you. you are in the safest hands you could be in! except for your joey, of course."
the sun had started setting, a sign they'd been walking for a while. marzius stopped walking, and looked around.
"we should probably find a place to camp. bandit activity has been up recently..."

[Miley]

"Maybe we should find a town to stay in for the night, it'll be safer there" Miley suggested.

[Marzius]

"sounds good. i think there's a town around here somewhere..." after saying this, marzius pulled out his map of etruria. he traced his route, trying to figure out where he was. "i think we're pretty close to the border. should be a little village nearby. urielliel or something homey like that."
he rolled up the map and smiled his winning smile at miley.
"that way!" he pointed.
