[Sounds like a challenge, stealing this notebook, everyone needs hobbies --]
Theasthai is wonderful. It's definitely the best place in this world. Definitely, definitely. [Kevin doesn't quite shoot a beeeeeeeeeam out through the whole restaurant, nor is he outright glowing, but he does brighten considerably. As if, you know, he's just been waiting for Reim to give him an opening, here.] It wasn't the first of the other cities that we learned about! That was Shaarnath. And Shaarnath was really great, because they were the first batch of other survivors we found, but given that they live in a dangerous desert they're all about discipline down there, doing your part and meditating and this and that. They're all aligned to Thras down there, so I suppose it's no surprise really.
[Seeing Kevin cheerfully prattle on like this -- it'll be familiar, for sure. Break did it from time to time. But it was rare, over those fifteen years. For the first several that he spent at Rainsworth as a young man, he had to be actively pried out of his shell, and when he realized he was coming out of it he'd often get shy and scuttle right back into it. He'd clam up, if you will. And in later years, given how Break hated discussing the past, the subject matter was usually a book he was enjoying or something funny he'd seen in the square after having snuck out for the day. Small, harmless things.
Once this Kevin gets started, he just goes.]
Theasthai belongs to Daimonia, so they're downright hedonistic in that place at times. Well, they're as focused on balance as everyone else, so while they respect grief very much they're not about to let you wallow in it. Most everyone you meet is a performer of some sort, so there are a great many eateries that put on shows for you, or make it a point to make their food really cute. After spending all my time thinking of swinging a sword around for so many years, being around such harmless, peaceful things is really refreshing! And this fellow who's assigned us this task has definitely never been there for any great length of time, definitely, definitely, because if he had you'd know there's not a single place in Theasthai that isn't romantic if you go about it properly. You can buy street food and eat it on a boat, and that can be romantic. You needn't even go on a boat. The streets are made of beautiful glass cobblestones in all pinks and purples and people will pop out of nowhere to sing or dance or juggle for you. For what he's hoping to accomplish, Theasthai is entirely useless! And they've a bartering system rather than currency on top of that, so he'll be paying us a flat rate no matter how much we enjoy ourselves. Ha! What a silly git. This is what he gets for refusing to do his own research.
