FFXIV Write Day 2: Bark

Kugane was a barrage on the senses.

The trip, long and miserable, hadn't prepared Mint for what it would be like to see another continent at all.

The streets bustled with people and traders from all over, and it was almost impossible to resist exploring the markets. They *did* have things to do, leads to chase, but. They could take just a moment right? Mint could... buy something from a street stall. A small snack.

The snack was tasty and thankfully light on her stomach, and provided great cover to people watching. (This was, technically, on task. If anyone asked her later, she was just making sure to... blend in. Obviously.)

Across the street was a dog, well fed and clearly happy. Smartly, it pawed at the counter of a shop, like it was trying to order.

Mint hid a laugh in her snack, and with her free hand, pulled out her journal. Maybe she'd draw this.
