(Finally I have a moment to relax. Airship rides continue to be a pleasure.)

(The Archaeology Mission previously discussed turned out to be an enlistment for an Ionan Priest's pathfinding.)

(Although I am no bodyguard, the priest's offer was quite fair. He's funding my research for the trip.)

(It's good to get out of the flying city, although we're heading back there now.)

(As I suspected, It was Merric who sold my contract.)

(Lum is with us as well, and continues to hate me still, although she seems distracted by another Lagre we met.)

(It will hopefully keep her off my back.)

(The priest - Sky was his name, I believe - has helped the others to rest, but I rejected his offer.)

(I can go a few days without sleep. I am used to it by now.)

(I shall spend the rest of the night continuing my materials research.)

Hn.

Cannot sleep, Fennic?
