## Summary

Flint gives one more joke to Jojo before the party arrives in New Gatless. Lhark wonders where everyone wants to go as Jojo wants to go to the drinking competition. Olwen Edgeworth asks Sybl Indrax to talk on the rooftop. Meanwhile Althena and Lhark head for the canal district with most of the group joining them. Xaillen wants to talk to Adrian Tanlaial after he finishes a personal errand, so he goes for the cheese race. Flint goes for the sweet and sour competition while Hoshimi wants to go to the dance off and any clothier stalls. Seven is overwhelmed by the city so Hoshimi lets her go with Xaillen.

Olwen asks Sybl how he's been since the mountain pass. Sybl says he's better but he's still looking for his place. He does mention that he feels like something is missing and he doesn't feel whole. Olwen wants to help Sybl but isn't ready to admit it to the others. She talks about why she wanted to become a police officer and how Rienhardt and his wife Julia protected her. She then talked about her breaking point and how Mitchell Jura nearly cut her tail off. She felt exactly how Sybl felt when she was in the hospital but promises to be there for Sybl. Sybl is surprised Olwen had that happen to her and understands why she holds back in front of the others. They hug each other with Olwen saying that this will be one of the best days ever.

Adrian heads for the cemetery and visits the graves of his father and grandmother. He talks with them how he met Michael Cienza and Alex and how they're looking for new jobs. He mentions his traveling party and about Feronia. He also brings up how he almost died again and that he feels like he can't seek any more knowledge. He grieves for a bit before placing a marker on the headstones and leaves. He bumps into a blonde-haired woman, and she takes a tumble. She wakes up like she was just out of a trance and mentions she's here to visit people too. She looks around so Adrian decides to check on her. She speaks in a language unfamiliar to him, and a translucent hooded figure comes rises from the ground. She talks with it and puts a hand on its shoulder before it vanishes. Adrian reveals himself and notices her ability to communicate with spirits. He notices a lot of magic coming from her, so he mentions he had a friend who was looking for spirits. Before he leaves, the woman threatens that Adrian shouldn't talk about what he saw. Adrian asks for her name, and she says it's Trixie. She walks off as Adrian quickly leaves.

Seven and Xaillen arrive at the area for the cheese race and the tightrope walk. A dwarf asks what Xaillen is betting and Xaillen bets one gold. The dwarf asks everyone to match his bet. Everyone takes their positions at the starting lines as large cheese wheels are summoned. Seven sees them as delicious but Xaillen pushes her out of the way and gets rolled over by the cheese. Seven is determined to win and outruns the competitors and the cheese wheels to win. Seven is asked to pick the charity to donate to or to play double or nothing. Xaillen ends up explaining to her along with how betting works. Seven tries to say she wants to help.
