Oh, it's so pretty! I've never been to a market like this.

[wasaredherring]

[......How have you not. You. You live here.

Yeah even a few people in the market are giving you a look.]

[purpleprosebud]

[I AM A SHELTERED AND DELICATE NOBLE MAIDEN. Obliviously prancing through the market, admiring the craftsmanship and art of everything]

[wasaredherring]

[there's sure quality art here! Because at least one of us has taste]

[purpleprosebud]

[stops at the frilliest of the quality art.] Oh, it's lovely! Like the shine of the purest white rose amongst a roomful of lilies.

[wasaredherring]

[...welp. you've just made one of the merchants wander away]

[purpleprosebud]

[hopefully it's not the one in charge of the stall, because...] Excuse me? I'd like to get this?

[wasaredherring]

[He seems to almost cringe, but then he comes over and dutifully sell his art to the clearly tasteless aristocracy, possibly hating his life in the process.

Meanwhile, a white raven seems to be watching this all from nearby, calmly munching on a bit of bread.]

[purpleprosebud]

[will treasure the frilliest art of your heart forevermore]

Oh, what a beautiful and noble raven! [attempting to buy some brioche to feed it]

[wasaredherring]

[ ...:>

He eats it, hopping up adorably and putting out his feathers in the cutest way]

[purpleprosebud]

[d'aww, bonding with beautiful animals! Totally continuing to buy him all the best treats from the local stalls]

[wasaredherring]

[You are my favorite ;>

And he hops onto Ferdinand's shoulder and whispers into his ear]

"go east."

[and then he's gone, flying up and away]

[purpleprosebud]

[awestruck]

It's a portent! [totally going east like the bird says. ....assuming that Ferdinand can tell cardinal directions...]

[wasaredherring]

[East goes towards the dull, imposing wall...]

[purpleprosebud]

[...But it's not pretty :(

Goes anyway, because how could a bird telling him to do something ever go wrong]

[wasaredherring]

[it seems to be just fine preening on your shoulder, only repeating the command if you start to hesitate.

A checkpoint shows up in the distance, small against the vast slap of concrete that's the rest of the wall.]
