Sigil: The City of Doors

"Hmm .... well ..." Mysti seems vaguely disappointed. But only vaguely -- as if she knew even before she had said it that a flying mount or some highly exotic ground creature would be asking too much. After all, it would require weeks if not months of training and winning the creature's trust ... a...

" Weeellll" ... Mysti said, dragging out the word much longer than necessary. "I suppose horses will be adequate -- cheapest and easiest. Mmhmm." She thought for just a moment before sitting up excitedly and turning to face Whisper. "But ... I always wanted something like a griffon ... or hippogriff...

"And if we manage to find a tressym -- which I haven't forgotten about, by the way," Mysti gave Whisper a little cheeky grin as she leaned into Whisper's arm. "It might like to ride on a mount rather than fly the whole time. It looks as if they only fly short distances, but I don't know for certain...

Mysti continues lounging, idly petting Hush once in awhile. "Well ... it's been a long time - well over twenty years - since I spent time in the wilderness. I don't think I have much in the line of bedrolls, tents, torches, even the humble messkit -- that and other things we'll have to buy, I'm sure...

"I was just availing myself of a little comfort before we left. Might be awhile before I'll get to relax on an actual couch." Mysti swiveled herself on the furniture so she sat sideways, her legs over the armrest, her back leaning against Whisper's shoulder. "Yeah, I wouldn't give this place up if ...

Mysti chuckled softly as she leaned back into the couch cushions, stretching her legs out in front of her. "So ... it's like being in a faction ... but ... saying you're not in a faction." She gave Whisper a bit of a teasing look, complete with a little grin. "Alright ... I'll buy it. Who knows. The...

Mysti nodded her seeming agreement, still idly petting Hush's fur. "Never made too many friends in Sigil which is one reason why I have no qualms about leaving it. Chasing bounties is a lonely job, and, like I said, almost everyone I interacted with, I either had to kill or drag back to the Harmoniu...

Mysti nodded in understanding, looking slightly relieved. "So uh ... yeah ... well, at least you aren't hunting down people -- which was my first thought. I'm not sure why. I suppose it's because that's what I'm used to seeing." She again stroked Hush's fur but continued, "Too much ... violence. Whi...

"What ... seriously?" Mysti looked up from Hush for a moment, her fingers still buried in his fur but no longer actively petting him. "You actually had to go around harvesting eyeballs and hearts and whatnot? I'm not particularly squeamish ... but that is rather disgusting, you have to admit." She ...

Mysti spent a little bit of time stroking Hush's fur, scratching behind his ears, and the usual things people do when babying a dog. She had to admit that she felt relieved. Mysti wasn't at all certain how Hush would react to her -- well -- undead side. Some animals, including dogs, didn't always re...
