[ Getting people drunk and talking is easy here like it is back home. After finding out the finer points of the specter’s haunt from one loose-lipped tavern patron, she’s left bait for the spirit by way of two round smooth white stones left waiting inconspicuously on a windowsill on one of the side streets she’s been told the ghost will drift down.
Ever the burglar, Nami knows how to keep herself out of sight while she waits, able to keep the gasp that threatens caught in the back of her throat when the ghost actually appears, leaving her floored. It’s one thing to wait for a ghost, it’s another thing for that ghost to show up and be a ghost, rather than someone trying to pull a fast one in disguise. She would have believed the latter, but being hit with the former is a whole new level of weirdness, and suddenly the instructions she’s supposed to follow to get those stones back from the ghost and trade them seems a lot more spooky.
Why couldn’t it have been just a random eccentric in a very good costume?
She doesn’t want to, but Nami makes herself follow the ghost, keeping a careful distance through the entrance of the graveyard. The sight of someone else who seems to also be in pursuit of Tykhe is almost as startling as the spirit herself, and though it throws her enough to make her halt in her tracks, briefly letting Tykhe float ahead as she holds a finger to her lips, not daring to disrupt the ghost’s quiet. Instead, she waves the other person over, jerking her head in the direction Tykhe floated off in, in a wordless indication they should follow. Two heads are better than one, and hell - maybe company will make this whole ordeal less creepy. ]
