Good news guys. I was out doing some training to get ready for the caverns tomorrow. I bonded with a Cascoon a few days ago, and she just evolved into a Dustox! Prickly's definitely moving up in the world!

[There's a whooshing sound rather close to the Warp Band]

[For those who are around when Ezreal makes this post, as he mentions Prickly she huffs and launches a poisoned spine at him, that he casually and habitually moves his head to the left to dodge]

[She looks surprised.]

You're certain?

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Yeah, if you are. I don't mind if you tag along but as you said, it will be somewhat dangerous so you definitely need to be sure you're comfortable with the situation.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

The only way to know is to try and find out.

This Jade, is he affiliated with the university? I do not recognize the name.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

He's with the Survey Corps.

Re: [action]

[ladyofluminosity]

I see.

[Does she look relieved?]

Have you been to the mountains yourself?

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Not yet. I spend most of my time in the Old City.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Oh?

[Tell her more.]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Yeah, I'm with the Delvers. I'd probably be down there now if they weren't closed off and we didn't need more stable iron so badly.

[he makes a sour face]

Of course we've been telling them that for years now.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Years? But you're so young. [He was her age, right?]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

You can get around that if you're good enough.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

I see. Tell me more.

[Sorry Prickly, she may have forgotten about you.]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

What do you want to know?

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

Everything! Anything that you can tell me.

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

[He laughs]

You need to be a bit more specific than that though! I need something to go on, there's a lot to being a Delver.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

What is it like, being a delver? And the Old City? How long have you been a delver?

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

It's pretty cool. The Old City has all sorts of interesting things to find and discover, it's kind of like piecing together a puzzle but that puzzle is our lost past and technology. I've been a Delver officially for about two years, unofficially since I was... seven? Eight? Something like that.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

You were so young!

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Not that young. I mapped a large part of the Old City so they put me on a Delver fast-track program.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

At eight years old? I can hardly remember what I was doing at that age. Lessons in etiquette or needlework perhaps?

[She thinks about this. Camille gives her a look. Should she be saying that?]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Ugh, noble schooling. That must've sucked.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[She stops. Wait, did she just--

She did, didn't she? She got too comfortable! There's a very slight change in her posture and composure, as if she's trying not to sit straight.]

Oh, nothing like that.

[Camille: You are so bad at this.]

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

What they got different names for it now? Noble school's noble school no matter how much you try to hide the fact.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

I am not trying to hide a thing!

[action]

[indy_wannabe]

Well you're doing a pretty bad job of it.

[action]

[ladyofluminosity]

[She pauses, then looks down.]

...Am I really.

[Camille coos and nods. Yes, yes you are.]
