Jade hugs Ariadne, "You did it, congratulations !" She has a big smile on her face.

"Everyone we are here !"

Jon steps out of the carriage and smiles up at Ari. "Great job! that was pretty seamless too."

"She is a natural at it. I bet you will be good at it too when you get the chance." She says to Jon. She looks to the driver, "Could you bring us into the city now that we are here or is it customary to walk in ?"

Jon nods to Jade "I hope so." he then gets back into the carriage

"Well, it depends," says Osbert. "Nothing wrong with riding or walking, but riding in this gold-painted chassis is going to get you attention. If you don't mind that, that's fine. If you want to delay getting noticed a little more, then maybe you want to walk, and I could meet you somewhere? Amber has an Embassy here..."

Ariadne smiled and nodded to the driver
"Exactly wyat i was thinking. I'd rather hit the streets as a generic tourist, or at least as generic as we can get.  Meeting at the  Embassy works, though we might need directions to get there"

"Osbert, we may need a hand down, if you don't mind." She smiled to the driver.

Ariadne moved and lept down herself, not wanting to be helped.  She'd been raised with money, but She'd always been annoyed when others tried to pamper her or treat her, ironically, like a Princess.

She looked around, taking stock of her surroundings

"Certainly, your highness." Osbert helps Jade down.



There's no one on the street. It's just a residential--

--Wait, an old woman comes out down the street there-- yes, dressed like a stock street character from out of the Arabian Nights stories-- She has an armful of brooms that she starts setting up near her stoop.

When she sees Ariadne and company, she stops, freezes. Then she calls inside the doorway she just left. Repeats it, urgently.

Four kids come running out-- and when they see the carriage, they come running up. Their ages are maybe 11, 9, 4, and 3.

"Greetings, nobles," bows the oldest. They all bow. "Are you in need of a guide to the city? Someone to take a message? To run an errand? To spy on an enemy?" The 4-year-old holds out his hand as if for payment-- the 9-year-old boy gives him a little smack and he puts his arm back down.

Reminded of trips she'd taken to somewhat similar places, like Mexico and the Middle East, Ariadne put up her hands (well, one hand. the other was ready to grab her coin purse) and shook her head.
"No!  No, we're good . We've been traveling for years, so we'll be fine."

Foom Pah !!! As Jade opens her parasol.

"Wow, this place is very dry." She smiles at the children.

Jon exits the Carriage, grabs his pack and comes to stand next to Jade and Ari. Jon is dressed in a light weight black and gold outfit, fit for the weather, he bracers and boots.

Jade smiles to Jon and tilts her Parasol to offer him some shade as well.
It is clear she is not used to such a dry environment coming from the sea.
