CLOSE ACQUAINTANCE
Hirai Ignicia
"He was kind enough to find me a place where i can try to make a living."Sky thought of Hirai as his own family, but he never explicitly spoken about it and mostly keep it to himself, since he always look like he has trouble of his own. They were in the same party a few times during the a murder case of an alchemist and the other time is when they're going on a sea sailing.
Rusu
"Sometimes i can't tell what's on his mind, but he's kind to me and Sir Hirai."They were close after Sky finished his sea expedition, they often talk about problems considering the guild or what would happen in the near future, also consider him as a good drinking buddy when Sky is in the mood.
Tamar Tar
"..... His way of thinking is concerning sometimes, or i just don't understand how a merchant mind works."They first met before the sea expedition started, a fellow party member that somehow bonded after the bizzare storm and mysterious occurance happened. Later Tamar usually shares his findings with Sky.... Which Sky consider his way of giving a token of friendship?
Whisker
"He's awfully nice, it makes me feel bad at times.... What's a kid like him doing in a place full of blood and iron?"His opinion about Whisker doesn't stray too far from looking at him as a handful little brother, sometimes he wakes the inner maternal side of Sky due to his behavior, the second he consider in familial relationship after Hirai.
OTHER MEMBERS
Soo-Yeon Hikaru
He doesn't know him that well aside from having a sparring session with him that ends up making Sky unconscious. But personally, he thought he's a dumbass.Sunshine
Concerning, that's the only thing he has in his mind when trying to give an opinion about that particular Aasimar. Sky knows he's not hostile but the way they behave already gives Sky plenty of headache.Badogg
Despite how they rarely met, Sky looks at him as a dependable person, almost very leader like. He just respects him in general, compared to Asto, his opinion on him is the opposite.Balvar
They rarely meet anymore after the first quest, but Sky thought he still have some debt to be repayed since he saved his life from meeting his beloved one too early.Asto
He was the one that approved Sky's entry so he also owe him. Aside from that he also taught him a few spellcasting trick that gives Sky a chance to learn more. Sometimes concerned about his well being but mostly keep it to himself.

Dream Of Fish and Scorpions
Sky was somewhere on the docs, it was quiet.... Very uncanny for Halseamer's harbour. Eventually as he decided to fish admist the environment, suddenly his vision got blurred by the mist surrounding the area. He can't help but to feel something weird is going on yet.... He also feel it as a sense of familiarity.
When he looked to the side, a walkaway that wasn't supposed to be there suddenly appeared. The curiosity has gotten to the cat, and so shall he walk to the unknown road.
As he walked, a projection of people dear to him suddenly appeared one by one, the first
being a project of Minato, his beloved.... Sky tried to reach for it but he knows it's just an illusion and he might just end up diving into the ocean if he so inclided to chase him.
Later the projections varies from the members of golden guilds, people close to him.... Hirai, Rusu... Sunshine... And the final one being Tamar, yet his illusion was fading so quickly or glitching, but Sky doesn't know those terms yet.
At the last step, the bottle he drifted to the sea was seen floating near his feet.
Is he trapped inside someone's illusion? yet there's no malice to the intention. Sky doesn't feel dread, and only curiosity fills the cat.
He then saw, a man.
He was dressed in a ragged cloak, the bottom part looked like it was torn apart. He looks old for his appearance and he wears something similar to a crown on his head. At glance, he looked like he was already sitting quite a while, with the buckets filled with small fishes. At glance, he looked like a king for Sky.
Sky doesn't know what to do and thus just approach the man from behind, greeting him. The old man replied gently as he ask Sky if he wants to fish with him. To which Sky replied with a nod and sitting besides him, preparing to cast the line.
As they were introducing each other, Sky learned that the man was named Gunner.
The Cat stole a peek at the inside of his coat and saw something unfamiliar, it looks like a weapon... Yet he's not sure. But contrary to keeping it quiet, Sky just immediately ask what is that on his coat.
The old man laughed, he took out the heavy looking weapon, the man explained that the weapon goes by many names, and Sky can call it whatever he wants. To the people reading this, of course, it's what you've known to be a gun, and Sky was handed the Revolver, a type of handgun, with a scorpion logo on the handle.
As Sky was holding it, he can feel tremendous excitement and wanted to try. Yet his heart was beating so fast, thinking that this thing is more lethal compared to other weapons he have used before.
He almost pull the trigger, fortunately he knows it's dangerous if he pushed it so he returned the revolver back to Gunner. After a while Gunner told a story of how he once had a cat, who was always besides him and grew together with him, he wasn't sure if it was a cat as they grew bigger and bigger than normal cat.
While he was distracted in awe while listening to the story, the fishing pole Sky already casted suddenly caught up, with quick wit, Sky immediately took the rod and try to reel it back in. Yet he was not strong enough, after that, Gunner took his weapon and shoot the fish with a loud sound and blinding light. That took Sky by surprise, yet the fish doesn't move anymore.
To his surprise, it was actually a 2 meter tuna fish. and as Sky inspected closer, the eyes are holed from the shooting weapon Gunner have used. Sky thanked him for helping him catching something that should have been impossible and yet the man just laugh, telling Sky it was all his hard work.
Sky retorted by saying Gunner also helped plenty, so they decided it was time to cut the fish in half after a long discussion and Sky being all pushy.
The old man then told him a story of how the fish catch could also be read as a fortune telling. If what Sky caught was something huge, then it could mean that Sky will receive something huge in the future, yet he should always lower his head and try not to get ahead of himself once he received something like that. It was a wisdom from the man, and Sky just felt nostalgic since it's been a while since he heard something similar like that.
After they shared the fish, the old man said it was his time to go. Once again he reach out to Sky for a handshake. And Sky accepted that.
The air that was warm before, suddenly turned cold.
Before the man forgot, however.... He put off the necklace he has been wearing. It was in the symbol of a scorpion. The man told him he could sell it, keep it..... But he also told Sky to consider it as a key.
Sky didn't know what he meant by that but then just accept the outcome of it, he wore it immediately and the man just bid his farewell to Sky, also thanking him for his kindness by sharing the fish, he hope one day that action helps Sky in a way.
When Sky looked to Gunner's back who already walked far, suddenly a silhouette of a puma bowed down to Sky and followed Gunner together. And they vanished within the mist.
Sky who was still there, suddenly blacked out and once again awaken, he is now in the familiar Halseamer dock that where he was supposed to fish. The sliced tuna wasn't there, but....
The necklace, was there with him.
A Sky Colored in Greys
It's been two weeks since i've arrived here, living here has been great, it was peaceful. I didn't expect the life in Sinkey will be more calming than the one i had in Halseamer.
The grandfather priest who accepted me after i did some delivery service was kind too. Even if the temple was small, i do not mind. I keep seeing childrens and other believer walking around, even if i had different beliefs with them, they still accept me.
Well, until the last week, i finally saw sir Rusu again! And.... sir Solaru with another new recruits? i never saw her before. But she looks small, ah, but i can't really judge her like that, i'm sure she's strong and tough.
"Sky! It's been so long, how are you farring, my dear?"
"Ah, it's fine, life in Sinkey is great" i simply replied.
They were here to ask for some information regarding that owl-marked coins again, ask me if i can decipher them entirely now. Before that, i asked the priest to excuse myself to talk with them, he was nice, greeted us while wishing for save travels.
Once we've found a place, we're in this secluded narrow space with house of bricks.
Ah... I saw a familiar face again approaching us. Sir Tamar is here? really? I thought he would change even in the span of two weeks but well, miracles don't happen as often as my magic spells.
And it pissed me of when i know he actually sold a pict of me in those maid dress?! Had i not enough when sir Oscar dress me up as a manequin?! Goddamn, i swear, the decency. Out of frustration i kicked him with sir Solaru together because we had the same trains of thoughts (surprisingly).
Anyway, on that note, sir Rusu asked me to dechyper another code... Hopefully this time it translate to something, let's see....
"This is for The-All-Seeing Owl."
What does that mean? from my guess it's a language only those kinds of bandits have known. It's a special thieves can't.
And another one was from the dagger.
"This is The Handle of The Wolves."
That's what it said on the other handle, because i held my blade backwards compared to shoving it right into their face. The language translates to a place, probably about a big treasure.
But we're not looking for that, we don't know what's there and who knows what other enemies will show up, it might not just be the bandit. Fortunately the group agreed and we have to focus on dealing with the bandits and finding their bigger location first.
In the meantime, we split up for information searching. I accompanied miss Naon while sir Rusu handle the red light district, sir Tamar and sir Solaru returned to the tavern i used to work with before. Well, i had bitter memories working there because my face are not that friendly.
I saw kids running around the streets.
They asked if we wanted to play but we offered to buy them some breads instead for them to eat, i pity this children.....
It reminds me of that time.
If i wasn't so lucky and miss Estrella hadn't picked me up or even meet me at that place, maybe..... I would end up the same. But that's another story to tell, I don't really like remembering the time i was but a child.
Well, maybe i still am.
I had a hard time with children because i'm never good with them, but miss Naon reassured me and she gave me a push. Well, i get what she's trying to do even without her telling me, and i'm glad for that.
The children's said i smiled genuinely, did i? i didn't noticed it.
But they become more welcoming now and asked if we can stay.
While we were busy snacking on breads and chattering among the street childrens, they gave us an information on how the temples around Sinkey have so many beliefs, and the one i was staying in.... Apparently had another branch of belief. I believe the temple i stayed in was called temple of Perchta. So there's a different one?
On another note, the kids also said something about the guards and the priest keeping close together, saying how the priest always treat them once in a while. I can assure it's just a money to shut them up. I didn't expect to see that in real life to happen.... Are they related to Guild of Magus....? but i can't downright say that now can i?
In any case, we move forward.
So we have gathered many information together, sir Solaru being our Navigator and sir Rusu handle the bribing for information. All good, we got a location for this other sect we should inspect.
---
After that, daylight comes.
We decided to split up, as agreed, sir Tamar, sir Rusu and miss Naon can be the frontline and disguise themselves as a newcoming follower. Meanwhile me and sir Solaru handle the infiltration from the outside, hopefully that can gather us some time for us to get huge amount of information.
While we were sneaking around... Well, i didn't expect it would go smoothly, sir Tamar has his ways but i don't trust the way that person handle things, despite it being working.
"Are you sure it's there? Nothing looks odd for now..." sir Solaru asked when i was still at the front.
"hmm.... Let's search somewhere else, maybe the back entrance."
We did go there and there was nothing.
We walked almost circling the entire place, and then we saw miss Naon payed too much attention to sir Tamar that she missed that there was a conversation that might be useful, me and sir Solaru tried hard to call her from outside the window, hopefully she noticed (she didn't, but good attempt regardless.)
we thought the church had a symmetrical outline but there was this one room that's different, there wasn't one on the other side of the building, i asked that we should investigate the case, well, we got distracted for a little bit looking at the side of the window and saw...
Looked like sir Tamar and sir Rusu getting married? atleast that's what sir Solaru said, that's stupid.
..... I miss my dear now, but that's not the time.
"......... Sir Solaru, i suggest we pick up the pace and move upwards."
"Yeah, after that we should make a report of two guildmembers getting married."
What the hell are you suggesting?
Anyway! Sir Solaru used his.... Device? it looked like a shortbow being modified using a rope and metal, that's so cool, never had one of those before. Looks expensive as well, it can grapple the rooftop of the room real quick too, that's amazing!
..... Moving on, sorry for the small rant.
I didn't use it so i just jumped swiftly and catapulted myself upwards, we were now on the roof, taking out our tools so we can snuck inside from the roof without making quite a sound, it worked and we are in!
..... This is.... An archives room? there's so many scrolls and big.... Map?
Huh, a map of Sinkey?
That, that shouldn't exist though, right....?
If i'm not mistaken, it's taboo for them making a map of the city, probably from their religious views and such, but it exist... Here? and it's huge, why does the church own this map?
Sir Solaru pointed out something that the map indicated places near the tavern where Sky used to work and places around the temple where i... stayed? what is this.... Are they targeting me?
I swiftly asked sir Solaru to memorize the map and drawn them from memory later, while scouring for another things that might be a clue, i found another two of those owl coin.
"Three black tabaxi."
........
I had my doubts, but now it's even more clear now.
It's nothing but bad feelings as i try to dechyper it, i know i was not a person with good karma, i had my wrong doings... bad deeds, i had to think of what was actually happening. I remember we do have other tabaxi besides me in the tavern, is it them? it could be anyone, the world is huge.
Time's up, we had to go real fast.
sir Solaru pulled me using his grappling device so we can make our escape, we made it on time despite the hurdles... I was scared that i wasn't light enough to carry actually, but it happened anyway so there's that.
And to that, we scrammed, spread ourselves around Sinkey so we don't look suspicious to the guards later once we grouped. There are so many informations we need to share and honestly.....
..... I don't think it's wise for me to stay here much longer.
I wanted to find a place where i belong but why is it so hard? It's not here, if i were to stay here permanently, i might just endanger the priest and other childrens and followers back at the temple. I don't want that, their safety is my priority and i cannot risk it.
Don't let it happen again, Sky.
As we grouped again, we share stuff we found and gotten from that shady cathedral, i shared mine a lot and the rest follows.... There was another dagger found and i, once again, trying to translate it with my half-baked Thieves language.
"...Ashen's Fang..."
Now this is a name i never heard of, who the heck is this? Is it the name of another organisation? an alias? so many possibilities running inside my mind.
Yeah, even sir Rusu asked me if i want to go back to Halseamer after all just happened, without a doubt... I nodded. That's for the best, it's not my time yet.
I remember what my dear said to me, i cannot rush things, a journey takes a lifetime to experience.
And so, we go back. It was almost dawn anyway so might as well. Before we got into the wagon, sir Rusu... I guess he noticed my face looking all wary and anxious. He shattered my nervousness.
"Oh, right, Sky, my dear... I have something for you."
"Hm?"
As he scurried inside his robe, he.... Gave me a charm?
"I wanted to give this to you but since you were in Sinkey, i could not... So now is the time, it's from Hirai, by the way! A charm of sort." He simply smiled.
..... I, I thought sir Hirai might have forgotten about me, turns out he hasn't. Even going as far as giving me this? honestly. I worried too much about finding a place where i belong, but look at them, giving me this much space to accept me.
After that, sir Rusu just gently pat my head, he's really good at reading emotions, huh?
With that said, the wagon ride arrives and we make our way to Halseamer again after i left the place for two weeks. I already said my goodbyes to the priest who offered me a place though, he welcomed me.... Telling me if i come back, i can stay there, it's odd.
Hahah, but i can't help but to smile at the thought.
As the sun sinked deep into the horizon, i finally returned, my journey to find a place.... Has just started.
A Small Conversation Over Some Drink.
Waktu itu, Sky sedang duduk di tavern Sinkey sendirian dan tiba-tiba seseorang yang familiar datang menghampirinya, duduk didepannya.
Walau baru kemarin, Sky kaget kenapa Bajogg bisa ada disini, lalu dia menceritakan bahwa ada sesuatu yang harus dia lakukan di Sinkey kali ini, walaupun dia memang sudah biasa bolak-balik, namun kali ini kasusnya spesial. Bajogg awalnya bertanya tentang gimana perasaan Sky sampai disini, sambil menceritakan soal misi dia kemarin, dan ada hubungannya dengan Reilitch dan Calling. Karena Sky berasal dari sana juga.
Sky menanyakan kabar anak-anak Aasimar apa kabarnya, dan Bajogg menyampaikan bahwa mereka baik-baik saja. Sky sebenarnya masih kesal sih kenapa dia masih belum bisa samperin mereka, namun Sky tidak keberatan jika memang situasinya penting.
Lalu setelah itu Bajogg membawa-bawa soal surat rekomendasi, akhirnya Sky mengetahui bahawa dirinya direkomendasikan masuk Golden Hoof, Golden Ear atau Golden Bone. Dan dijelaskan satu-satu, saat Sky mendengar soal Golden Bone, dia sedikit khawatir apa ini ada kaitannya dengan apa yang Arthur bilang, namun Bajogg meyakinkan Sky itu bukan yang dia pikirkan. (mengembalikan kekasihnya yang sudah meninggal.)
Sky bahkan sampai terbatuk dan Bajogg memberikan air ke dia.
Setelah itu Bajogg ngobrol lagi bagaimana dia sebelumnya anggota Golden Hoof dan menjelaskan kerjaannya disana, terus Bajogg berbisik ke Sky kalau dia bosan kerja disana. Dia lebih betah di Golden Wool. (sampai dikasih funfact soal Million Archipelago karena Sky sudah kesana.), Bajogg pokoknya ngegibah soal berbagai cabang golden guild yang dia tau sih.
Sambilnya itu, dia juga ajak Sky ngobrol tentang kenapa jadinya dia di Sinkey. Sky menjelaskan bahwa dia merasa dia harus bepergian lebih jauh, explore some stuff. Dia tidak merasa Golden Wool tempat yang buruk namun Sky merasa dia harus membuka wawasannya lebih jauh. Selain karena ingin bertemu Hirai, Sky juga sambil menggaruk kepala menjelaskan kefrustrasiannya tentang member Golden Wool, tentang mereka tidak buruk, namun Sky hanya tidak bisa keep up dengan kerusuhan mereka, sampai Bajogg tertawa mengingat-ngingat laporan soal Sky selama misi.
Saat Bajogg menceritakan lagi soal dia ghibahin guild, Sky sempat tertawa kecil, dia kaget dan jarang ngeliat Sky begitu. Sky ngerasa gak cocok aja sih tapi kalau Bajogg mengatakan begitu, Sky teringat lagi tentang kekasihnya pasti tidak mau Sky selalu murung, jadi dia pelan-pelan mencoba lebih terbuka sedikit, disaat yang sama dia juga bilang Bajogg terlihat terlalu intimidating, namun Sky lega dia bisa mengobrol lebih santai dengan Bajogg, apalagi maid shenanigans kemaren dia keingat lagi. (Bajogg malah gak keberatan pakai bajunya tapi Sky menyarankan tidak usah, karena meresahkan).
Dan terakhir dirinya sebelum lupa, menitipkan barang pemberian Rusu ke Bajogg, karena Sky akhirnya paham dia tidak bisa mengganggu gugat apapun yang terjadi dengan para Aasimar. Sky menjelaskan tentang Rusu sepertinya ingin ke Sinkey namun menahan diri, sampai Bajogg salah paham apa dia terlalu keras kepada Rusu saat latihan (that sounds wrong by the way--)
Selain itu, Sky hanya ingin perasaan Rusu tersampaikan ke Hirai, walaupun jarak mereka jauh. Entah kenapa Sky hanya merasa itu bagian sentimentalnya saja yang berharap mereka baik-baik selalu dan semoga bisa bertemu lagi.
Setelahnya Sky dibelikan minuman oleh Bajogg dan mereka berdua kanpai bareng. Setelahnya Bajogg entah kenapa bertanya soal mawar kepada Sky dan dia menjelaskan saja kalau mawar merah artinya simbol cinta yang membara (Sky sampe malu ngejelasinnya.)
Dan percakaoan diakhiri dengan Sky menanyakan rekomendasi penginapan dan tempat yang bisa dia kunjungi, selain itu Sky ditawarkan friendly hug sama Bajogg. (which he was confused but take it anyway) dan mereka pun part their ways setelahnya.
