She had about two more hours before her train started boarding, so she went into a café and ordered something to eat as well as something hot to drink. Seira carried a flask filled with human blood around and occasionally took a sip to regain strength from the long trip, but fortunately she wouldn’t require much energy once she took the train. After staying at the café for almost two hours she then walked to the train station where she would buy a ticket to Baska. Going from east to west, across the country, was quite the trip, but fortunately the train wasn’t too crowded and Seira was able to relax. Eventually she would run out of blood, but that wasn’t going to be much of a problem. Considering that the train ride was over a few days long, they took several stops in the towns in between where people could go outside and buy themselves meals and other things they needed.
Seira used those opportunities to quietly sneak away and steal blood bags from the local hospitals—always not more than one at a time, which she would either feed directly from or fill it into her flask so she could take a sip whenever needed. While not much happened during the train ride, the Sorceress very much enjoyed having some time to herself during which she could enjoy the scenery and appreciate the beauty of Fiore. Rarely did she travel such far distances at once, but she was curious as to what would await her in Oak and she was willing to find out, for the sake of the experience. Baska was a small merchant town, famous for its flea markets and when they arrived Seira considered staying for the day, waiting until it got dark before she continued her travel. Seira was glad when they finally arrived in Baska and she was able to leave the train after spending nearly 4 days in it.
