The dry, hot climate felt almost natural, even if it was so different from the constant damp of Summoning Island. He made certain to ask questions about the nature of the exam to anyone who looked likely to answer, and watched the fights with avid interest.

When he wasn't doing those, Gale wandered where he was allowed, taking in the sights and willing to stop and talk with anyone who showed interest. Part of this was to spread the word of Summoning Island's interest in the outside world, after all, and show their presence to others.
