New Lands...

[gelenka]

Another place? What do you hope to gain by sending me there? [She does not trust her Mun's choices - and for good reason.] First you intend to send me to a land of fairies and imps. Then you send me to a temple where I am charged with no less than 34,005 years and 9 months of service for my "crimes". Now you send me to a...

City of rubies?

There aren't any rubies around, actually.

[gelenka]

Then how did it earn its name?

[in_loveless_memory]

There's one ruby, it's a giant obelisk.

[gelenka]

So it is merely about the quantity - not that it matters to me. Rubies hold little value for me.

[in_loveless_memory]

It's just a mineral, really. People are the ones who placed such a value on it.

[gelenka]

True enough. But money can buy all sorts of useful items.

[in_loveless_memory]

There isn't money in Ruby City. It's a barter system.

[gelenka]

An even field I can appreciate.

What is your name, child?

[in_loveless_memory]

Oh uh, Ritsuka Aoyagi. You?

[gelenka]

I am Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen.

[in_loveless_memory]

Uh that's... [Quite the name. So what does he call her? Targaryen? That seems safest.] Nice to meet you, Targaryen-san.
