Westcrown is enormous, and enormously confusing. So many new things! Huge buildings! Strange people! Smells, sounds, sights! Incredible adaptations to city life! It's completely overwhelming, if you don't know what you're looking for.
Feather is looking for wisdom and understanding everyone, but she has to admit that starting at random and working her way up to everyone is probably not a feasible plan this time. The convention will probably last less than a year, and she already knows she won't understand the Outsiders after another year or two of study.
She has to bet on finding existing wisdom, someone who already has a piece of the puzzle that she can learn from. And that means talking to many different people, starting with the ones who seem most unlike the villagers and townsmen she has met over the past two years around the Forest.
So, after she tells the organizers she's there and gets some money and arranges a place to nest at night and casts lay of the land and several commune with birds and spends an hour meditating on the results and trying to wrap her head around the sheer enormous strangeness of this place...
Bright Morning Feather goes outside with Greystripe and looks for strange novel and wise-seeming Outsiders people to talk to.
