Rae's Day in the Big City

Rae wakes up in Daring Heights with their first day off in the past three weeks. Things have been moving very quickly for them recently, since arriving in Kantas they have been to every major settlement they can find adventuring work, meeting plenty of new people and doing things they'd never imagined they would do. And so, on this one day they get for themselves, they head into town to get themselves some lunch from a food stall, inquiring with much enthusiasm about where the vendor learnt to make this dish and what ingredients were involved. They then take their food and head West towards the Stone Gate, and look up at the wall surrounding the city. When the moment is right, they clamber up the wall and perch up there to get a good view of the rest of the city below. The winds are cold as the seasons are changing, but warmed by the meal they procured, Rae produces a journal they keep on their person at all times and starts writing. They write about the people that they've met, all of different races and abilities and skills. The things they have seen, the foul Catoblepas, a Headless Horseman, and even a Shadow Dragon! They make sketches, write notes about what these creatures were capable of and what their weaknesses were. They also write about their personal achievements, the ways they successfully employed their magic to great benefit, feeling a sense of pride in what they were able to do, as well as what they tried that didn't work so well, what they could have done to avoid certain pitfalls. They sit, take a breath, and look at the vastness of the city from their vantage point, and smile. They then hop down from the wall and head onwards to their next destination. Their next chance to learn.
