A ship flies through the skies over Vale. The owner of the Dust shop "From Dust Till Dawn" is hanging a sign declaring its re-opening. As he climbs down from his ladder, he stumbles and falls. Emerald Sustrai appears next to him.

Emerald: *giggling* 'Scuse me, sorry

Emerald: *giggling* 'Scuse me, sorry. I'm not really from around here-She helps him to his feet- Would you mind pointing me in the direction of this shop?- she asked to the shopkeep

Emerald shows a piece of paper with writing on it and the shopkeep looks it over.

Shopkeep: Hmm? Mm-hmm.

Emerald walks away from the shop owner as they both wave goodbye and passes Mercury Black at a corner.

Mercury: I knew you were lost.

Emerald: Mercury, I will seriously pay you to shut up-She produces a wallet with Lien and waves it in Mercury's face-

Mercury: That's not your money.

Emerald: But it can be yours for 5 minutes of silence.

Mercury: Mmmm... no deal.

Emerald: Fine.- Emerald said annoyed as she takes the Lien and tosses the wallet, turning to walk away-

Mercury: Whatever. You want me.-he said with a cocky grin-

More of the city is shown, including a café where two extras sit chatting. Mercury and Emerald are walking through the city.

Mercury: So, how much farther?

Emerald: A few blocks.

Mercury: Ugh... this place is so dull.- he said bored-

Emerald: Eh, I kinda like it. Tall buildings, diverse culture...

Mercury: And nice dopey people who are easy to pickpocket.- he answers with a smirk

Emerald stops.

Emerald: That's every city.- she said with a deadpan face-

Mercury: -plays as a victim- Ooh, Emerald! Master thief! Please don't take my money! I barely have enough to get by!

Emerald glares at him, groaning angrily. She then walks away from him.
