[Talia is glad that his mind has drifted to other topics, his entire demeanor a good deal more relaxed than he had been when she joined him at the ship side. She has a pleasant buzz going, his question bringing so many things to mind so that she sighs softly.]
Beyond the magic, you mean? Political .. intrigue .. nothing nearly close to how the historical texts would have a little believe. Velgarth is a small country, so far as many go outside its borders. Many of the townships are those of farming communities and masons .. things of old, as they would say. [She smiles a bit wryly at the thought.]
We have harvest festivals and celebrations to ring in the changing of seasons and yule. Stone masons and metal smiths .. bakers with shops open to the street. Vendors selling their goods on the streets ..
Smaller villages along the border are more removed still .. [Now there's a topic she shouldn't have stumbled into .. her memories were not fond of the Border and her own Hold. Absently she rubs her thumb over the burn scar on her left palm.]

[She nods once as he addresses magic, lips pursed slightly in thought. She didn't doubt in the least that there were magics she didn't understand on board this ship. His statement, however, made her curious as to if true natures were being with-held (not quite as badly as her own, but neither here nor there at the moment).
It's almost just as well he doesn't comment about her hand, as it's a whole lot of depressing and would just be a downer. She'd much rather keep things light and keep Marco's mind off the things that made him all mopey and disconsolate.]
You were lucky to have moved past it, I think .. Haven knows what Valdemar would be like centuries from now. Quite possibly much more like your own world than might be expected.

[Talia looks a bit confused and then realizes where the confusion might lay, nodding once.]
I suppose it would be rather like saying 'Heavens' or similar such phrases like those said here? Although you are correct..we hold it in the utmost of respect.

[Talia nods in turn, offering him a gentle smile.]
Indeed it is so .. I would find it strange to be any other way in regards to my capital city. Perhaps had I never seen it, or been taught within its walls this might not be the case?

Mm...I guess so.
*He falls silent, though his mood stays on the same even keel it was at before. Perhaps a bit happier, since at the moment he's savouring the buzz the alcohol has given him.*

[Talia is pretty relaxed, the warmth of alcohol moving through her system combined with a good companion. She gets much of the same off of Marco, although it's undeniable that a good portion of his is alcohol induced. All the same, he seems to be doing better.
There is a companionable silence between the two that settles and Talia looks from Marco to out over the water.]

*Or it did in games, and it didn't seem to work the same for everyone here.
He listens to her description, but isn't actually watching her so misses her rubbing at the scar. Possibly for the best, since he'd ask about it.*
Parts of my world were kind of like that, centuries ago. I don't know much about it, though.

...what's 'Haven,' anyway?

Hmm? Haven? Haven is Valdemar's capital city .. the royal palace and Collegiums sit at its heart.

I guess that makes sense. A lot of people have a lot of respect in their home countries or towns.
