For fear of heretics and Dravanian espionage. Little time did we have to facilitate tourism, what with the war effort... 'Twould not do Ishgard good to welcome guests during the war against the dragons. Unfortunately, the decree allowed nationalism's demons to fester. Prejudice, intolerance, and the like.
And now your dragon [ DRAGON ] problem is sorted, you have more time to take baths and get people to come and visit, take baths and maybe decide to buy property and stick around?
Unfortunately, Ishgard is far too young in her years as a republic for me to yet set down the mantle. There's still much work to be done and another battlefield waiting for us.

Nary a topic for the hot spring, is it... My apologies.
We never actually had hot springs where I was from. Not sure you really need a lot of hot springs when you're a port city, most people just swing by to visit the ocean, you know?
There were a lot of things in Jurai that I lost, and some things I tried to change because of it. That... didn't work out in the way that I planned, and now I'm where I am now. It won't be permanent, but while I'm there I'll do what I can.
Or, that was the plan at least. Before I got dragged here.

... Eh, the hot spring is a place for any topic. Imagine being hit with a rough topic here, you'd be too relaxed to freak out about it.
no subject
It would only be fair to let you choose the next.

[ So. He gets it? ]
Is that what waits for you?
no subject
No, nothing like that. Jurai's not really my home anymore. I hadn't been back in years until recently. Probably won't go back there again either.
no subject
Then you've found elsewhere, I imagine. Or in other people.

However, I can say that I hope you'll be at ease when you meet journey's end.

Who knows. Maybe. It might be time for a rest, when it comes to that.

I also know a few similar... They need another to watch over them.
