_____The trip to neutral grounds was uneventful, and that was perfect for Melody who got to spend the entire time looking out the window and admiring the landscape and tossing around some ideas from her story when she had time to spare. Thankfully she was given a day to prepare for her work as a rune knight and was enjoying the last likely day of having a fully open schedule. Well for the post part open, back in her village she still had to do the whole patrol thing and 'fake' reports back to HQ.

"Next stop Neutral grounds, estimated time of arrival five minutes. Next stop Neutral grounds, estimated time of arrival five minutes."

_____The dull voice of the train conductor was a welcome tone any day in Melody's book as she gathered her small travel bag and stashed away her notes into a neat pile before adding them into the hallowed out spell book she kept them in to hide it from others. Sure a spell book often held more interest to people and thieves but it was also something of a double protect nature to Melody who absolutely refused to allow anyone to so much as touch the books in her bag.

_____Making her way towards the nearest exit spot of the train as she looked at the wall for tourist maps. She loved that convenience of a city transportation vehicle, Taking one and moving aside so others who had more busy schedule would be able to get out first as she looked over the map and drew out her route in her mind where she would need to go from the station to reach the factory where she could get the Ilac.

_____As the breaks screeched to a halt Melody was still reading the map while others exited and once she was clear t do so she followed suit folding the map and looking around. 'most technology advanced city in fiore' was no joke or false claim from the tour map guide as the village girl shuffled around the crowd holding her bag close to her side while making her way to the needed location. She only had so long before the next train that would take her to Hargeon town would depart and if she missed it another would come by in a few hours so she was not entirely worried.

_____Sure she would prefer to get home sooner rather then later, and with a storm report in the area she was very much wishing to get out of the area should it pan out to be true and not a false report like she was told was sometimes the case by other rune knights she got to speak with. Finding the factor was not exactly hard, seeing the big sign advertising the Ilac, and the line of people waiting made it easy.

_____Getting herself a spot and deciding to take the time she was waiting to open the map of the city to search for the Rune knight HQ in the area. While not her job she figured maybe she could help out and take and reports or the sort they had to HQ with her when she was heading back, feeling someone push her forward caused a slight tense of her muscles as she moved her bag away from that area and looked over her shoulder.

_____The person jerking his head forward and with a quick glance noticed the line had moved. Mumbling there was a better way to go about such a thing Melody moved forward and then resumed her reading. It was annoying, to say the least that the person seemed intent to keep pushing her forward each time the line moved so much as an inch and got to the point Melody folded her tour guide map and pulled her jacket off to reveal her Rune knight symbol before speaking.

"I do request you stop pushing me forward... There are better ways to get me moving, and less disrespectful."

_____While it was not another shove, the pointing to move was far from an improvement but with a sigh Melody just assumed it was a bad day for the person and chose to keep her focus on moving to stop dealing with them. A few missed moments, a few points and another push forward before Melody made it to the person handing out the ILacs and requested a simple white one. Taking the user manual and stepping aside so she could read it while walking back to the train station. Two task down, and one left with the better part of the afternoon to finish it and get home.
