"Here's fine.", Akiol called for the car to stop.
Pulling over to the side of the road the driver allowed his two passengers to disembark. Rue stretched upon leaving the cramped car and inhaled deeply. Fully tasting the air she commented, "The air quality is poor."
"There's no mana to cleanse it. Any waste they produce remains in the air until nature itself slowly sorts it out.", Akiol commented off handedly while thanking the driver.
Watching the car roll off he turned, "In their history humanity had a tendency to produce more waste than nature could handle, so the air is certainly more poor than back home."
"They left it as such?"
"Science comes at a cost, not many are willing to bear that."
"There's always a price.", Rue lamented.
Adjusting his grip on the case Akiol motioned for her to follow, "For now we're staying at a hotel. You can have your own room."
"Hotel?", Rue asked.
"A sort of Inn. Usually far larger."
