The largest port of Delaam is located on the southwestern shore of Delaam. Before the Delaam joined the Alliance, this was the nation's sole contact with the rest of the world. In peace times, you'd see ships from nearly every seagoing country docked here, but now, for the most part, the port is filled with Rah Shah trading and Zil trading ships, Delaami transport vessels, and the North Fleet of the Rebellion.
The port's city stretches about a mile inland, fanning out from the wide bay that opens into the Straits of Cinder Water. Despite the martial law declared on Gyoshi, it remains a busy city, never resting with the constant flow of trade, information, and war.

Haruka slipped through the thinning crowds, keeping her cap covered head down as she sidestepped drunks and tired shopkeepers with wares. She finally stopped around a corner into an alley, letting out a soft breath of relief.

Blank's body rushed through the cround as he began to hover over them looking about. "No! I can't lost her!" He said and began to fly at high speed down through the crowd. Comming to a sudden stop he turned and looked at the alley. Zooming back up he went in. Comming to another stop he began to wheeze. "Are...are you...are you Haruka?" He asked with deep long breaths.

Haruka had a blade hidden in one hand, curious, but still cautious. Her side was to him, as she tilted her head.
"I am, what can I do for you sir?"

The small pixie sighed before falling onto the girls shoulder. "It took me forever to find you! But I just want to let you know that I'm here to look out for you from now on. Don't know if you know Ziril but he sent me to help you out and guard you." The poor little pixie wheezed again before flalling deeper into Haruka's shoulder. "I'm...Blank...by the...way..."

Haruka sheathed her blade, looking curiously at the Pixie, slightly confused.
"Ziril? Would you be so kind to explain why you were sent to me, Blank?"
Haruka took another moment of observation, then unhooked her small canteen from her belt.
"Need a drink of water, as well?"

Blank shook his head before lifting himself up. No, I drink Flower Dust." He said and sat on Haruka's shoulder. "I cvan't really tell you who he is, but he's one of the good guys and well, he kinda needs you too as much as you're going to need him later on." Blank almost fell off her shoulder as he tottered back and forth. "Do you know where there's a field of flowers? Of even a few flowers, I'm getting a little dizzy."

Haruka gently drew him off ehr shoudler, to cradle him the crook of her arm.
"Hold on then."
Haruka jogged, smoothly, to a small park, tucked into a nearly forgotten niche of the city. There were a dozen wildflowers, all around a tiny statue. It was more of a garden then anything else.

Blank totted again and flew off to the first of the flowers. Sitting on one of the petels he lifted his hand and a small amount of golden dust sprang from the whole flower. It gathered in his tiny hands before he began to breath the golden power into his lungs. He did this a few times with each flower before flying back to Haruka. Now that he'd had his fill he hand a nice glow around his small frame. "Alright, thanks." He said and fly up to the girls head and let his feet hang over. "So where ya off to now?"

"Gang war settlement. I'm standing witness, and they'd agree compensation."
Haruka doublechecked her blades, crakcing her neck.
"Looking much better, by the way."

Blank nodded. "Thank you. So shall we be off? After all, I have to be with you all the time now." Blank smiled and hopped down and began to hover around Haruka. "Got a spare pocket i can make home in?"

Haruka hesistated, then nodded,
"Either the bag, it has room, or a pants pocket. I'm not letting you into any others."
The others were her shirt, and that would make her distnctly uncomfortble.
"I'll have to explain you to my contact, or there'll be trouble."

Blank nodded. "Alright tell it to me on the way." With that he flew down to one of the pant pockets and slipped in. for a moment he was out of sight but then his small head came back out and rested on the left side along with his tiny hands. "Ok, ready, you can go now."

Haruka walked, speaking just loudly enough for Blank to hear her.
"They're making a settlement, due to strain relations, and the fact that the heirs of each sides ruling ran off with each other. I'm damage control, the third party so to speak. I'm to prevent the two heads from killing each other. If all is well, they've agreed to spare effort to help me out. There will be fighting, because officials are probably going to crash the party."
Haruka turned onto a obscure street, then walked quickly, zigzagging allies and corners, back tracking and confusing. She slipped into a wide empty alley, two windows overhead on the east building
"We're here."

Blank smiled. "Ok, well I'm not the best fighter but I can give you a hand." He said and dove back into the pocket for a bit before poking his head out again. "so what are they going to help you with?" He asked.
