[Ibakha the Wanderer is, well. A wanderer. No points for guessing that. But it also means, between aetherytes and her own propensity to just aimlessly travel, she can be found almost anywhere.

You may find her in Ul'dah, where she stands outside the walls. There's guards on either side of her, shouting at her for daring to steal some bread... Which, well. The guards are blind to it, but with her anger, aether is starting to swirl around her. There's a very distinct chance the guards might be about to get annihilated. Someone should step in, probably.

You may find her in Coerthas, in the Sea of Clouds, where she's currently ~~in a FATE~~ being dogpiled by a seemingly-endless stream of birds. She seems to be doing fine for herself, but, well. She's seriously outnumbered, and one red mage can only do so much.

You might find her in the Azim Steppe, sitting on the edge of the Dawn Throne, feet hanging down off the side as she looks over the Dotharl lands. If you approach, she'll pat the ground to let you sit beside her, at least?

Or you might find her underwater, in the ocean near Sui-no-Sato. In a rare moment of open excitement, since she believes no one can see her, she's having so much fun with the new blessing to breathe underwater. She's flipping, twisting, generally having a blast playing in the water. You, uh, might not want to approach though. She has dignity to keep.

She might be anywhere, even. Kugane, Doma, Coerthas, Limsa... Any possible location in Hydaelyn is a place she could be, just wandering about. Come talk to her!]

[Look, a woman has needs.]

Are you implying something?

[The look on her face makes it very clear she knows what Ibakha's getting at and she is only mildly unamused. She's worked hard to grow out of her "troublesome kitten" phase that lasted well into adulthood, thank you. Teaching does wonders for that.]

That a responsible teacher might not... Ah, what was it? "Reek of borderline-black magic"?

[SHE'S SO AMUSED

~~look if you have needs ibakha's right here~~]

[Rhel sniffs.]

If they didn't want me to find the texts, they should have burned them. It's not my fault I have the Echo.

[Yes, this is her story and she's sticking to it.

~~She wasn't recently okay.~~]

And how well would that excuse fly if it were one of your students who used it?

[SHE'S SO AMUSED... rip rhel

~~listen they can make up for lost time~~]

You overestimate my students. They're all wonderfully bright, but none of them have the patience for high level thaumaturgy. They buy into the guildmasters too much.

And none would read an ill-advised tome if they so happened to have the power to?

Of course not.

[Rhel grins a little, flashing her fangs.]

They know I'd have their skin.

My point exactly.

[YOU'D HAVE YOUR OWN SKIN FOR THIS]

I'm sure I don't know what you mean.

[She says, brushing her braid from her face.]

Anyway, the docks first and then I think it's my turn to buy dinner and drinks?

[She nods, slowing down...]

It is, unless you expect me to pay in monster meats.

[who carries coins, not this girl]

I mean, Momodi might appreciate it, I don't know. But you could always sell the meat first.

I suppose so...

[she's just gonna look through her pack

yeah it's mostly full of dead monster parts]

[Rhel leans over to peek as well.]

...are you sure you're Wanderer and not Monster-hunter or Hoarder?

Have you found a way to wander without facing monsters?

Hire a marauder.

[Just saying.]

Though even if I didn't, I'd still sell the parts and not haul them around for days.

I can eat these parts, but I cannot eat coin.

...Ibakha, I saw parts that had to be mostly scale and bone.

Powdered bones can make medicine.

I don't think you can do anything with adamantoise bone.

You can use it and the shell to crush herbs for cooking.

Or you can sell them for a lot of gil.

[Some Miqo'te hunt prey. Rhel hunts bargains and gil.]

And by something smaller for grinding up herbs.

It doesn't bother me.

Ibakha, that has to weight a tonne.

This is why you should do more than study thaumaturgy.

[she's just gonna.

Turns around and pick up Rhel before she continues to walk.]

[And Rhel, of course, flails around until giving up and giving Ibakha a Look.]

Why do you do this.
