The next day was rather dull for Ihawxd. He had decided to leave the own in the morning, but his plans were slightly delayed by the same man he had met last night. The man, who introduced himself as Fishfam, wanted IHawxd to take him far away to some kingdom Ihawxd had never heard pf before, as Ihawxd had a horse and he didn't.

"There's only room for one on a horse, you know." Ihawxd objected.

"Don't worry about it, I have his cart that I can ride in." Fishfam persisted.

"Okay, fine, I'll take you, and you don't have to pay me, but you do have to buy the supplies for me and my horse. Sound good?"

Fishfam proceeded to list a number of reasons why Ihawxd's proposition was wholly riddiculous, after which he stated that unless Ihawxd would take him to where he wanted to go he would just kill him and steal Alderaan. Fishfam then stood, staring up at Ihawxd, beaming as sardonically as ever.

"You do realise that I have a sword and you don't have any weapons whatsoever, right?" Ihawxd replied. Fishfam's eyes widened.

"Oh, yeah. I was just joking. You thought I was serious?" Fishfam erupted into laughter, which made Ihawxd very uncomfortable. When he had completed his chortling, Fishfam left to allegedly buy Ihawxd some supplies.

He did, in fact, return with many bags filled with assorted materials. After the two men strapped them to Alderaan, Fishfam showed where, on Ihawxd's map, the kingdom he wanted to go to was. Ihawxd marked it off, and the two set out soon after.

The journey took four days, which was much longer than Ihawxd had hoped it would be. The four days were spent riding across endless plains, Ihawxd silently listening to Fishfam's constant impartation of useless information. Multiple times, Ihawxd told Fishfam that he did not wish to have this information imparted upon him, but Fishfam insisted that he truly could not care less about other people's opinions.

On the fourth day, however, Ihawxd was delievered from the incessant rattling of Fishfam. Not long after they set out in the morning, the two arrived at the outskirts of their destination. For the next few hours, they road through hills and rivers filled with farmland. The farmland transitioned into extremely poor villages filled with dirt-covered beggars begging other beggars for food. As the two rode on, however, the villages they passed steadily grew wealthier. Eventually, they reached the richest part of the kingdom. The houses at this point were large and extravagent. Although they were crowded together, the road was wide enough to keep the visiters from feeling closed in. It was when they reached these houses that Fishfam and Ihawxd parted. Before they did so, however, Ihawxd asked Fishfam something he had been wondering the whole journey.

"Why did you want to leave that village you were at? It seemed fine to me."

"Oh, that village? It's full of escaped convicts, basically. You can only find work there if you can get hired by someone to perform a crime, so I figured I'd have better chances of finding a job here."

The two then seperated, and never again met.
