He doesn't know where to go anymore than you do, but he takes a guess and heads in the direction of the food stalls, basically following his nose. You chat with Jevunlok, and he is quite inquisitive about Elunia. "So you live on islands in the extreme north, and yet you are not buried in ice? Why not?"

"That's a great question. Abrexa protects our land and keeps us thriving. How are you not reduced to ashes in the south?"

Jevunlok smiles. "No, no, you misunderstand, as many northerners do. 'South' does not necessarily mean hot. It seems that way to you because you are from Elunia. But think: for we Vadal, 'north' is synonymous with hot, because north of Vadalia is the arid Sundel lands and the sweltering Tuhlen jungle. Vadalia is cold, windswept plains and lonely snowcapped mountains."

"That's a complicated question. First, I'd say it keeps the non-druids mindful of the druidic orders and our territories. These are our lands, not belonging to ephemeral political entities, such as... this." He gestures around to the edifices of Nirrion.

"Indeed. The hubris of some people believing that they can own the natural world. I have deep respect for your orders. Similarly, sailors believe that they can traverse the seas based on their skill alone. We both know better. You said 'First', what other ways do you serve?"

"Yes, you understand. This is all a lot of nothing." He chuckles as he looks around. "Secondly, I like to come to the towns now and again, to have some human contact after being out among the trees for so long." You sense that by 'human contact' he means being here to sow his wild oats, as it were.

"I hear you. It's good to see the wider world from time to time." I look meaningfully at the nearest attractive woman. "So how familiar are you with the Festival of the Sun?"

[To the DM, is this thread done? Happy to continue the conversation if it makes sense to do so. If not, that's fine too.]

[You guys just walk around the city and chit-chat. We can pick up anything else aboard ship.]
