What do you do?

Listen to her

You've not talked to anyone since you boarded the wagon. Maybe out of politeness, maybe out of boredom, or maybe out of interest, you decide to listen to the woman.

"And if you go up halfway up the path to Goldwin's castle, you'll find this great little cafe- ah, that's not an advertisement, I don't work there, I just like the place." she's a fairly talkative person and you're not sure how she managed to keep quite the whole ride so far... though, to be fair, she might have been asleep, you didn't check. "Ah, but there's this bunch of pickpockets who operate near there, so be careful and keep a tight hold on your wallet!"

From what you've learnt over the few minutes she's been talking, her name is Dalli Threska and she's a bar-maid in a tavern called the Dancing Drillgon. She's got red hair partly hidden by a baggy cap, and wears a dull-looking cloak that hides her features well. She seems to know how to avoid standing out while travelling, which fits with all the random advice she gives you of nice places to check out in town, followed by the dangers near by, and to be honest, you don't know if the town is extremely dangerous, or if she's just blowing things out of proportion?

Either way, the mostly one sided 'conversation' is soon brought to an end as the wagon finally passes the semi-wall that protects Kynsworth.
There's a lot more colour than you're used to, with banners of all sorts seemingly set up to welcome people into the city... well, with things like "Hailsburry Carls, the best cake shop in town!", "Life is an adventure, why not make it a big one by coming to the adventurer's guild!", it seemed more like the businesses were welcoming you, but it was still exciting to see!

About a minute later, the wagon comes to a stop and you and Dalli get off, along with most of the other passengers.
"It's quite a sight, isn't it?" she asks, giggling. "I've lived in this town most my life and it never gets old... well, I guess this is where we separate, come by the Dancing Drillgon later, I'm sure you'll have a great time! Ah, that was an advertisement, I do work there, hehe."

And she turns to leave, walking away for a few steps before she turns back to look at you. "Ah right... what was your name? I'm sorry, I forgot to ask."
She asks now?
You reply that your name is Eleanore.
"Ah, that's a cute name! I'll call you Elie, alright? We're friends now, after all~" she says, smiling at you, before turning and walking away again.

Well... that was sudden, which would be a good way to describe her in general.
But you're finally here! You're finally in the Capital of Adventure!

Now, what's your first destination?
