After the meeting with Seira, Joan felt a sort of closure, as if she was ready to leave Baska. Town. After all, she had finished her business with Mattoro and the Cold Colliers. She knew that there was not much vampyre action going on in Baska Town, so she would have to go to another town to find out more. That, and she needed money. So she decided to go to Magnolia Town first, since it was the hubbub of good mages. She wanted to see if anything out of the ordinary was going on there, before she headed to Dahlia where she decided to contact Aadrian for more work. She remembered doing a job for him once and she figured he probably had more.

Back at the inn, the vampyress collected her things and tossed them into her travel bag. She was going to check out in the morning, but she wanted to be prepared for the trip. She wished she had someone to do the packing and the boring things like that for her, but since she had no one, she had to do it herself. The king had also gotten rid of slavery so she was not allowed to have servants, although she was very tempted to see what would happen if she tried to do it secretly. Though that was not going to end well, probably. She heard the rumors that Arthurias had some kind of a bodyguard who would kill anyone who disobeyed the king.

The vampyress pulled out all the clothes she had in the wardrobe and folded them neatly so that she would not have to deal with a mess later. Having lived this long, she had come to learn a thing or two. One of those things was that if you make a mess, you will have to clean it up later, so it was better to avoid making a mess in the first place. She shoved them into the same travel bag, pushing them in so that she had more space for other things. Afterwards she had planned to have dinner before she rested. That way she would be full on energy for the trip. It was going to take her about at least six hours.

Joan would have to go from Baska Town to Magnolia Town by train, since both towns had stations. However, since Dahlia Town did not have one, she would have to walk from Magnolia Town to there. She remembered doing this before, but it was reversed. The last time, she traveled from somewhere around Magnolia Town back to Oak Town. And she remembered that she had to use the Magnolia Station as well as the Baskan Railways. This was just the same situation reversed. She was going to be quite far from her guild, but she would be back after she was done with what she was doing right now. She needed to appeal to Adelaide. That was basically the reason she was traveling right now.

So after she finished packing, the vampyress put on a hoodie and jeans before heading out. On her way out, she stopped at the reception to tell the innkeeper that she was going to leave the next morning. The innkeeper nodded and even asked her where she was headed to. Joan saw no harm in sharing this information with the innkeeper, so she told him that she was leaving for Magnolia Town. He then asked what for, to which she answered by saying that she just had some business to take care of. The innkeeper nodded and then Joan left.

Joan went straight for the woods where she would find her snack. In this darkness, no one would be able to see. The full moon had passed, and it was pretty damn dark outside. After having her snack, she would rest up for her travel the next morning by train.
