"Yeah, golems are really interesting and similar to something we have back in our world, but ours are more advanced."

And here he has a crystal pair.

"You'll have to tell us some time. We need to sleep soon for now, though. We can talk some more tomorrow. Or send mail, you got a fairly nice one."

"Will do! Our species doesn't need sleep, I'll probably wander about and catch that airship."

"No sleep, lucky you. Come back and sing with us again some time!"

"We will! Thank you for the day, we had a lovely time!"

She throws him one last grin before darting into one of the lower tunnels that probably lead to homes or sleeping spots.

And he darts back up and gets his clothes back and he has two instruments.

Made mostly of biological matter.

He lets the piano-thing sink into his skin and grows more skin around it. Does the magic prevent him from absorbing it?

It's pretty obvious it's going to decay very slowly and that it's tougher than its materials have a right to be.

But he can absorb it.

Okay good. He does that.

The xylophone-thing...?

Parts of it are inorganic. But these parts are mostly structural - it'll sound a little different if he replaces them with ivroy but it should still work.

Awesome then.

And now he thinks he might try to go find Nils, where might he be...?

His ship was in berth 097.

Which of the many private shipyards it's in now, probably nobody is willing to straight up tell him.

Aww really? Not even if he asks nicely?

Proprietary information, bub.

Shipping companies on Earth have been sued for less.

Well, can he leave one half of a communication crystal here so Nils can contact him if he wants to?

For a small 'tax', sure. Actually small, not mobster-small. They'll even let Nils know about it if he comes in for any reason such as paperwork.

Alright, Sadde will return shortly with one half of a crystal pair.

Certainly.

They're quite efficient about their work, once you've paid up.

Good!

After that he kinda wants to book passage to that city with the cool academy.

The next commercial flight is in the morning.

There are courier companies that advertise overnight delivery, though...

Oh? And what's the catch?

Well, they don't normally take passengers. And it's pricey.

He's not in that much of a hurry, he can wait 'til morning.

Just wandering around the city? A lot of it shuts off at night.

He might just leave the city, actually, and—is there an edge anywhere nearby?
