"There's good and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"
"The good news is that I was able to secure a willing airship to take us to the Boundary though he only agreed to do so after I told him that he wouldn't have to reach the Boundary."
"What's the cost?"
"Ten gold coins per day. He initially said thirty but I was able to beat it down."
"How long would it take from here to the Boundary?" Ana asked with Ulysses replying.
