not exactly like envisioned

The journey through Castrum Oriens went without a hitch, mostly forests until then really. Chocobo motion sickness also turnt out to be not-as-bad as ships (air or water). Fin was aware that it had been a region scarred by skirmishing, but the remains of the many battlefields still shocked him.

According to the map, there aren't many stops remaining, though the weather was getting hot enough for Fin to eventually consider temporarily ditching the rather dapper yet pointless sleeveless vests on top of his shirt.

WE LOVE CHOCOBOS

okay, maybe fin loves chocobos. Ser Buncleberry seems to be rather jealous really. But having reached Gridania via airship in the new traveling garments purchased in Limsa, chocobo porters will be their transport of choice going forward.

Let's hope his motion sickness doesn't apply to chocobo.

Next stop: Castrum Oriens

the locals seem nice

and a little dense.

Having made landfall in Limsa Lominsa after a heavy bout of sea sickness, Fin attuned to the aetheryte right away.

However, on his way through town Fin had made the mistake of walking through the tavern and was roped into a friendly argument. Those two locals went through the trouble to introduce Fin to a bitter and hearty local beverage made of some type of fermented grain.

After talking to his new acquaintances for awhile, he excused himself since he felt like there was some rather positive tension that he didn't want to disrupt. When he had said his goodbyes, they did point him in the direction of someone who was handing out samples of a seamstress, who could outfit Fin with, well, with a traveling outfit.

The off onto the airship... and hoping his fear of heights doesn't raise the alarm.
