After the little situation at the river, it's time for them to continue forward with their day.

Kalim says, "Okay, let's swing by my house before we get down to sightseeing!"

"Is your place far?" Grim asks, "I'm all worn out and hot. It better not be hours away!"

"Nah, it doesn't take long to get there. You can see my house from here," Kalim says.

"Good to know," Trey replies, "So how long of a walk is it?"

"Hm? Oh, that would take, uh...three or four hours, I think," Kalim answers.

Everyone is surprised.

Cater is the first to express it, "Whaaat? But you just said we could see it from here. How could it take that long?"

"Which one's your house, Kalim?" Trey asks.

"Yeah. Where is your house?" Briar asks.

"It's the one on that hill back there," Kalim says and points to a specific direction.

Everyone soon looks where Kalim is looking and are very surprised to see a house from far away, and it's not a normal house.

Trey, Cater, Grim, Tanzanite, and Jasper exclaim in shock, "That one?!"

Cater expresses it as well, "Whoa! You can clearly see it even this far away! How big IS that place?"

"That's less of a "house," and more like a theme park castle," Trey says.

"Yes. It kind of reminds me of one of the Seven Wonders back at home," Briar says.

"The Asim estate is a well-known fixture in Silk City," Jamil says, "If you told a taxi driver to take you there, they'd know exactly where to go."

"People come to admire it all the time. Tour buses drive by too," Kalim says.

"So what you're saying is, it's a literal tourist attraction..." Trey asks, surprised.

"Say Briar, what are the Seven Wonders?" Kalim asks.

"Well, the Seven Wonders are basically the seven ancient structures that've been known for centuries, and sometimes still talk about. Your home reminds me of the pictures of the Taj Mahal I've studied at school," Briar explains

"That's neat," Jasper says.

"Sounds astonishing," Tanzanite says.

Then Malleus asks, "How will we get over there, though? I wouldn't mind flying, of course..."

"Don't worry, I've called a car for us," Jamil says.

Kalim soon notices the car driving over, "And there it is! All aboard, everybody."

That's when the car arrives. However, the car is more like a very long limo.

"...What's with this huge car?!" Cater asks, shocked.

"I didn't even know they MADE cars this long! What's the specs on it?" Trey adds, just as shocked.

Jamil then answers, "It's 15 meters long, custom-made, and comes fully equipped with refrigerators and massage chairs. We use it when picking up VIP guests."

"Mom and Dad arranged it when I told them I was bringing some school friends to visit. After all, who's more important than your friends?" Kalim says with a big smile.

"This might be all right for Malleus since he's royalty. But it could also be because of Briar, word of her true identity as the last of her fae kind and part of the royal family spread like wildfire, but it feels a bit much for the rest of us," Trey says and turns to Cater, "Don't you think, Cater?"

Cater then says, "C'mon, Trey, lighten up! We're gonna ride in style! I may never get a chance to be chauffeured like a celebrity again. Gotta take experiences where you can!" And soon begins typing on his phone, "Here we go! Hashtag #StartingOffRight #CelebVibes #Shiny #ScaldingSands ...Yeah, that'll do! I'll post that later."

"Why not now?" Trey asks.

"Well, we're outside of school, and Kalim, Malleus, and Briar are with us," Cater answers, "Prolly best to avoid broadcasting our exact location. I'd hate to wind up on Jamil's bad side if Kalim got kidnapped because of info I posted."

"Oh, so it's a safety thing. Smart. I hadn't even thought of that. I'll have to be more careful," Trey says.

"But hey, that just means I'll have plenty of time to play around with filters. I'll be sure to post some nice pics of you too, Trey," Cater says.

"I'm good, really. I don't need the other guys in the dorm teasing me again," Trey says.

Then Kalim says, "All right, and away we go! We'll be at my house in no time."

With that, everyone climbs inside the limo and once inside, makes it's way to Kalim's home.
