The journey to Sailor's Rest was pleasant, though slower than Lassim's usual pace. He matched Marissa's stride, respecting her speed as a Spirit Growth Warrior.
They walked through the dense jungle, the sounds of wildlife filling the air around them. The path gradually shifted from sand to thick foliage and back to sandy terrain at different spots along the coast that they traveled East along.
As they walked, Lassim took the opportunity to ask Marissa about the friend they were going to meet. "You mentioned your friend is a bit unique. What did you mean by that?"
Marissa turned her head, a playful smile on her lips. "You'll see when we get there. I don't want to spoil the surprise."
