"Morphing Magic?" Vasin asked a raised eyebrow somewhat curious before shaking his head."Must have been rather the sight, but you probably didn't see it around here did you?" he said with a pause."On second thought, never-mind. If they are a friend of yours I wouldn't want to endanger them." he said not liking the idea of accidentally outing someone to Sunberth."But what were they like? I've heard stories about mages, and people around here don't take kindly to them. Never met one myself, in fact before you, I never met a Kelvic before." he said curiously if the stories were true about the Mages. He had heard about how terrible they were in the past of Sunberth, but never did he get any specifics. In Sunberth mages were bad, end of the story to most. But Vasin wasn't born here and had never been fully introduced to every custom Sunberth had to offer. Mostly street smarts when he was younger, stuff he had let fall dull in favor of a steady income at Goldfinger's.
"Details..." Vasin muttered looking back to the incomplete map."They certainly do matter. I like the idea of a detailed useful map more than an incomplete one. To know all the details about this place. To find the details people missed. Sort of like picking up a puzzle that someone else didn't finish. Picking up the pieces and figuring out where to start and where to end." he said with a small nod."The details are what drove them to circumnavigate these lands." he added liking the idea that details are what matter. Plus, details were not the easy way out. One could scribble some lines and call it a map. A poor map of course, but a detailed map was all the more useful. People were remembered for it, like the explorer in his book.
Vasin looked to Kelski as she had grabbed his arm, and looked to her and studied the words that came from her mouth."Hmm, I suppose? This place would be the last for anyone to look." he said thinking it over for a moment."But still, it would be incredibly dangerous to do so. Any mages here would be very good at hiding. I doubt they would care to meet with some debt collector who lives in the tent city." he said with a somewhat self-deprecating small laugh."It would be interesting to meet one, of course, hear their side and all that. But people here mage or not being paranoid." he added doubting one if they were here would risk meeting with a non-mage.
"For the longest time, yes, living in the now is what I did. I had to get my bearings, go day by day here. Wasn't easy, but now I don't really want to do that anymore. It's why I took up reading by the docks. But you know, I don't think I am ready just yet to go all the way out there." he said liking the idea of exploring, to plan for the future, but he wasn't exactly sure if he was ready or where to start."But... I do think that making maps here in Sunberth, seeing what else the city has to offer... That can be the right step in the direction." he said recalling their earlier conversation.
Vasin said nothing for a moment as if thinking over."Yeah, I think we can be friends." a smile starting to form on his face."Don't have many real friends here ya know? Most people like to keep others at a distance here and all that." he said most of his friends were either missing or from his work. Drinking buddies who found his ideas humorous at times."Friends are good to have, especially here." he added.
