The train ride was a new experience for both the Seafaring Warrior and the Garou, and they found it quite interesting. Thankfully there were no accidents or other incidents along the way delaying them from reaching their destination of Arcadia.
After being dropped off with their luggage at the RTS station, Shy turns to Victor and says, "Na we need to find our way to the cottage which is located on a small island. I am unsure where to go for more information."
"I'm sure they is someone we can ask. They get tourists here often, I should think." He looks around, taking in the color and temperature. "It already feels like summer here." Then a nod towards a building. "That place there seems to say information. That sounds promising."
Glances toward the building he indicates. "Very well. We should try there first." Grabbing up two of her three suitcases (the small and medium ones) asks, "Kj'reste, would you mind carrying my other case?" Ja, he has a bag of his own to haul around. But he is strong.
"Not at all, my heart." Once more he picks up both her large suitcase and his own big bag. Then together they start for the information building. "Our own small island, meaning we'll need our own boat?"
"I should tenke so, ja." Nodding. "I know they have boat tours here, because I recall Aja mentioning such to me a long time ago when I first inquired about Arcadia. Howe'er, if we want to travel back and forth fra the small island, I know we are going to need our own transportation." Just as they reach the door, a man and a woman exit the building, allowing them to gain access without having to put down their suitcases. A pretty smile is flashed to the couple who are departing, and who hold open the door for her and the Garou. "Takk!"
He too sends a polite 'thank you' to the couple that got the door. Inside it is noticeably cooler, with fans doing lazy spins high above them. There is a counter with a couple of fresh-faced young people manning it.
"Welcome to Arcadia!" says the one of the left, a male.
Her smile widens at the congenial greeting. "Tusen takk!" Upon reaching the counter, sets down her luggage before fishing out the blue SEB keychain from her breeks pocket. Dangling from the chain is a gold-coloured key bearing the address and name of the cottage. "We need hjelp in getting to this place."
The young male reads the key, then turns his eyes toward the ceiling. His mouth moves as if he is repeating the address but he makes no sound. Then suddenly he exclaims, "Oh! I know where that is! Yes, you can take the water-taxi to get there."
Victor blinks at the young man, amused in some way by the way he read the key and air above their heads.
Brow furrows, "Water taxi?"
"Yes, miss, the water taxi is a boat with several scheduled stops around the islands. Just go back out the door, follow the building around to the right, then go straight forward until the end of the dock. Or you can stop by the rental boats building which is just around this building to the left."
Re-pockets the key. "Takk for your hjelp." Begins to take up the bags again, then pauses to inquire, "Do you have maps available?"
"Oh yes miss! Here you go." The young man moves over, pulling one from their side of the counter to hand across. "May I also suggest," here the young man pulls out another pamphlet, "the best restaurant in Arcadia?"
The multi-folded paper is taken, and when unfolded reveals a complete area map of Arcadia, including surrounding towns. "Do you also have a map of the towne's business section' Or a list of some sort?"
"On the back is a zoomed in map of downtown with many of our famous local businesses noted."
"Oh?" Flips the map over, then smiles with delight. "Well na, how convenient!" Begins to refold the paper map, then has to stop and start over again because she obviously did not do it correctly the first time. "Uff da." A light blush appears on her cheeks since she is being observed by the two behind the counter. Perhaps Victor can refold it the right way. Hands it to him. "Again, takk for your assistance and patience."
Victor takes the map, carefully folding the map back by using the creases as a guide. "Thank you." He adds.
The young man considers, then gives a small book to her. "These have advertisements for most of the businesses around here, along with a map of where they are. Admittedly, the map is better suited to locals." The book is quickly paged through to get an idea of what is inside. Oh! Discount coupons, too! Dimples and pearly whites evident as she looks at the two behind the counter. "Have a grand dag!" The book is tucked under her arm prior to her picking up her two suitcases and heading toward the door.
Victor picks up the two bags he is in charge of carrying and heads out with Shy. "Left and around for a rental?" He suggests softly as the heat washes over them again.
"Ja, 'tis best we get to the island and settle in before it gets dark." Softly spoken as she follows in Victor's wake.
