The party gradually makes its way across Initia. Initia, of course, is one of the biggest cities in Generia, and it takes a fair bit of time to get to where Milly has parked her wagon.

Initia, of course, has several terminals where wagons are parked for adventurers, merchants and other assorted travellers. The Northern Initia Terminal, where Milly's wagon was parked, is a giant stone building, built in the same style as the Initia Palace; it was one of the first buildings built in the new city plans for Initia, built the same time as the palace, used to take in travelers from the north of Begnin, whether heading in on the large Crosswind Road winding westwards throughout the countryside of Initia, passing through the towns of Exsten and Chilcenne, with intersections linking other settlements such as Morcia, Govitz and Vitterine through minor roads, before crossing into the city of Primero in the north and then subsequently eastwards towards the Bastapa Gate linking the Crosswind Road to the Fireheart Road, the major road connecting settlements in Bastapa.

The Northern Terminal is a bustling hall divided into two halves, one half being the entrance hall and the other being the wagon terminal. The entrance hall contains stalls of all sorts; stalls buying passage to various areas in Begnin, stalls hawking monster parts of variable authenticity, various street vendors selling heated peanuts, grilled meats on sticks and other foods for a quick bite, and other merchants selling assorted knick-knacks, souvenirs and delicacies. The northern half is filled with the sounds of horses and pegasi neighing and wheels turning, wagons pulling in and out. As you walk past, an irritated Revivian curses in what the Revivians recognise as Japanese at another adventurer for dropping what appears to be a box full of posters of some random fictional girl, Milly leading the way to her wagon.

"W-we're here!"

The wagon Milly has stopped at is.....far greater and better looking than someone of her apparent income should have. The wagon resembles more a metal box, strips of metal formed into a box and riveted in, the back entrance made of strong oak and the wheels reinforced with metal. The horses at the front -what an equestrian-inclined Revivian might recognise as a Shire horse, what a Generian recognises as a Bastapan Farrier breed- are eating out of a trough of hay, and several metal-rimmed windows peer into the wagon, opaque from the outside.

"I-it's bigger on the inside, b-before you ask. I-I sprung for a Size Expansion Charm; I-I was planning to start a business turning this into a m-mobile shop before the Annas cleaned me out of business. I think we should all fit in here; there's some camping supplies and we should have enough space in here, but i-it'll be a little cozy."

"Nice. Looks like we can travel in style; I was expecting to hoof it everywhere."

Keith stepped up to one of the horses and gave it a friendly pat on the neck.

"Well, might as well wave goodbye to Initia. The place was fun while it lasted."

The wrestled cupped his hands around his mouth.

"Later, losers! We're off to bigger and better fights in Bestapa!"

"That'll rile them up."

Keilee looks pretty excited about the wagon itself, pointing as she talks happily.
"Oh, this reminds me of when I was little! The guards used to use wagons just like this to move us around, though there weren't any windows on it, and the doors were chained up usually. Also it definitely wasn't bigger on the inside. It wasn't roomy, but it was very safe!"

"Uh....I...I don't think Milly's wagon's anything like those."
This girl.....this girl needs help.

"...I guess you were always a slave, huh."

Keith scratched his head. He had no idea what to say to that.

Lilian couldn't help but see all the bustling business around and feel a bit at home... though she knew hers probably couldn't be plied here. Probably anyway, her homeland seemed to be the only place Dream Brothels were common sight anyway. She heard the little merchant girl's woes, she knew a thing or two about such business purchases. "I don't think there's anything wrong with such a purchase, transportation is important after all~ Maybe not so... fancy but that has paid off for us now. Perhaps it wasn't great at the time, but it has paid off now! I think it was a wonderful investment as a result~"

Lilian was ever the positive one, her sister knowing that well. She was the type that believed what she was saying as well, she was probably one of the most genuine people out there. She never truly had the capacity to say anything other than what her heart or mind felt. It was both genuinely charming and useful... but also a problem time and again. "At least you're business acumen will be useful to us as well sweetie~ Not like I've learned much useful to us from running a dream brothel." she said as if that was a normal business just anyone would run.

Keilee nods cheerily at Keith's statement.
"Ever since I could remember. Apparently I followed the wagons around until they just took me with them. Or at least that's what my brother said."

"I see. I guess, as long as you like your work...?"

Something else occurred to Keith.

"What have you been eating, anyway, now that I think about it? Vlad and I can just magic up blood but I had to be feeding you something... not sure where the money for feeding someone came from, let alone buying them..."

Keilee shrugs.
"Oh, I just eat whatever I can get my hands on. Forage some berries here, find some bread in the trash there... one time someone offered to trade me food some helping him with something but you and Vlad scared him off I guess."

"I'd imagine y-you used to make a lot of easy money running a dream brothel, so it's not like you needed to do much, right?"

Keilee shrugs.

"Damn, reminds me of that time two years ago when me and Gil were homeless. Holy crap."

"Hmmm, well Stardust is apparently one of the most famous clubs, but my customer base was pretty small." Lilian said thinking back to a typical day went with her business. It was pretty true honestly, if her club was one of the most famous she didn't have droves of people visiting. Was the market for such things truly that huge? Though... she did gets loads of money in the forms of gifts and from single jobs. She supposed it was a pretty cushy life she lead. "I suppose I do have a lot of money but that doesn't mean I don't work hard~ It's my dream after all... I've always wanted to! I just don't think the skills translate much to adventuring." she said a little embarrassed. She was seemingly capable of the feeling at least.

"H-huh? B-back when I still had a shop, there was a club right next to my shop and....i-it always had so many people coming in and out of it. What happened?"
