Heno rowed the boat with a happy look on his face... He wasn't terribly good at it, but he sure as hell didn't tire from it. "... So does anyone actually know rowing song here?"

Calibeth City

The barkeeper shrugged. "It's the island to the north, where the Vesh'Rah came form. I don't know much about the place, either." he replied.

Desert

Topaz would see that the animals were a pride of lions, the adults around the size of a car, and the younger ones much smaller. They were lying in the sun, but looked up as Topaz circled overhead.

Farms

Timea, not being blindfolded, would see that the farmhands were Vesh'Rah, both resembling grey wolves. Timea would, thus, be able to smell wolves, as well as a variety of other animals she might expect to find in a desert, though none would seem to be that close by. The one Sibylla was not speaking to looked up, and sighed. "Yes, ma'am?" he asked. Timea would notice both had metal collars around their necks.

Timea had seen the Vesh'Rah on her approach, and didn't pay much attention to their scents. Noting the lack of scents fitting traditional farm animals, Timea stopped sniffing for scents, finding the scents she caught belonged to wild animals roaming the land, rather then life stock.

"I have some questions about the land, both this general area, and the desert beyond", she began. Then, knowing of the fact that Vesh'Rah are held as slaves, and expecting a slave not working as hard as they could would have ramifications for them, added, "But I suspect it would be better if I went to ask someone else, so no one gets the idea to punish you for taking the time to answer them. So, if you could point me to someone, I'll be on my way."

At Heno's request for a song, Aqua began softly humming. If she didn't get interrupted, she would gradually get louder and start to sing
Although it wouldn't be apparent from her normal voice when speaking, she had a beautiful singing voice and hit every note perfectly and on time.

The barkeeper nodded, and gave Yeager directions to the library, which was down near the base of the crater.

"I don't know anyone who would know about that, ma'am. I just got here recently." the Vesh'Rah replied. "All I can say is to try in the city."

Yeager thanked the barkeep and headed to the library. Unless anything stopped or interrupted him he would try to look for general knowledge books on the Vesh.

Heno stayed silent as Aqua began to sing. He looked a little uneasy. "... So... Uh... I like your singing and all... But aren't rowing songs supposed to be... You know... Motivating... And Light-hearted."

Robin started to applaud Aqua's singing voice, but petered out when Heno spoke up. "Let her sing what she wants, I say."

Aqua looked away and her cheeks turned a deeper blue when Heno commented on her singing. [color=66CCFF]"I didn't know that. I've never been rowing before, and I was just making that up as I went. Sorry."[/color]

You quietly enjoy Aqua's singing, though you find the lyrics odd. Winter, or weather in general, has never been much of a concern for you. After she has finished singing, you decide to ask what they mean.

"I see. I'll go do that, then. Take care.", Timea answered, giving the Vesh'Rah a nod. Turning away, Timea walked off. As she walked, Timea thought on her surprise that the Vesh'Rah could speak a human language, having half expected their vocal chords to disallow that when she first saw them.


When she neared the farm hand Sibylla was talking to, Timea stopped and waited for their conversation to finish. As she waited, Timea looked the Vesh'Rah over, looking over the condition they were in; judging their health based on their posture, weight, lustre of their fur, and state of their teeth, in the moments Timea could see these as the Vesh'Rah talked.

They Vesh'Rah might pick up on that Timea's scent wasn't human, or even mammalian. It was a musky scent, closer to reptilians.

Since apparently progress was the only thing that mattered, Cybil remained quiet as she rowed, so as to facilitate the speedy passage of time.

Sibylla thanked the man for his time and left, relaying the information she received to Timea.

[color=66CCFF]"Is there any other way to sing?"[/color] Aqua asked Robin, no sarcasm in her voice. [color=66CCFF]"But the lyrics didn't even make sense. I'm just out of practice. But I could try for something more motivational, as Heno suggested."[/color]

Yeager would be able to find a few books about Vesh. One contained images of the different races of Vesh'Rah. All of them were humanoid, with animal traits. Some resembled wolves, while others seemed more cat-like. Yeager would learn that the island nation had a mountain at the centre, and had large areas of forests. The territory itself was separated by different tribes, each one controlling generally a few settlements.
The books also stated that the Vesh'Rah were unable to use magic on their own, and required sky-metal to do so. However, a note stated that this was, in fact, incorrect, as some Vesh'Rah had proven themselves capable of using magic without any sky-metal.

Farms

Timea would see that the Vesh'Rah were relatively healthy, though their fur was clearly not well-kept. However, overall, they would be in about as good a condition as some poorer humans would be.
Neither of the Vesh'Rah noticed Timea's reptilian scent, partially due to them never having smelled reptiles before, and partly due to Calibethans themselves having a different scent from humans on Earth.

"I honestly don't know that much with singing. Where I am from most music is typically instrumental. I only got told about rowing song, and shanty from westerner."
