01<@DeathStar> 6* Having located into Rachael and Valen's old hut, the angel sits in Jean's outfit that matchs the villagers - though her top and loin cloth is made from a silk cloth that she got while captured by the church. Faile stands by the door, flipping her knife in her hand, while Mercy serves everyone the food the villagers made, seemingly satisfied
<Seraphna> * Kaelan happily takes her portion, giving Mercy a smile as she does.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The hut is sparce, though flowers, still not dead from their long travels, are set up on a wood table, and there is one bed only in the hut, along with various pretty things that Rachael clearly liked, and a mat for meditation
<Eluere> 6Azhren asks if seconds are available-- Zeal moves around Jean with a sewing needle, squinting in concentration.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Yes, Zeal...?
<Corvin> 6 Rynar smiles weakly as he takes the food and sniffs at it.
<Seraphna> * Seth sits near the Angel, accepting his bowl quietly, looking thoughtful.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am making sure the hems are secure and it fits right.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits by the bed, eating the food.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sits on a wood mat, her hair covered in stylish vines that have it's lengths are various levels, like the other villager's, and flowers in it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy smiles happily, moving to get more fruits and meat
<Eluere> 6Aschae has yet to make her appearance.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Angel, there's something I'd like you to look at."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> It is time to discuss what our direction of choosing will be; I feel a tugging to the east. I am told the capital is there
<Corvin> 6 Rynar eats his share and sets to cleaning and tending his armor.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Ah, after then." *he grins* "Yes... Jean mentioned that before. I say we follow the tug."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Matias is east, yes.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> And it is a port as well
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas adjusts his glasses, peering at his notepad, his arm no longer bandaged
<Xanatos> <Valen> Also correct.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Useful... depending on where the tug takes us after."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Then I suggest we make for there; Rynar can also go his own way once we are in such a place. But I don't know anything about Tareh - going back to Nuege and Navarro is pointless - so what is the next kingdom?
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am a little confused since... we sought refuge here where the church does not encompass our every move. Why leave?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Are they not still looking for us?
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Hiding forever does not suit me.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Exactly why I wouldn't want them finding us here.
<Eluere> 6Zeal jerks on both accounts.
<Corvin> "In these lands, the church always knows.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> On that note-- what does suit you, Angie?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sinai is another continent we could travel too.
<Seraphna> Seth> I don't beleve we've been to Sinai yet, or the Wastes, or the Isles for that matter... the port might be a good start to head for the Islas."
<Eluere> 6Zeal perks a bit at mention of Sinai.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Why the gods lie about destroying the world - why they want me dead - why I am drawn to magic stones and these white gems.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan does too.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I would lov-- wait..." 6She sulks. 1"I should not go there."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> But Zeal, we should go there!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yes, why not go home Zeal? We can see Oas again."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am very known in Sinai-- especially therein around the capital.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> The only other kingdom we haven't been to is the Island Nations and that is where the church is the strongest- but if you want to learn more about the gods, going to Matias would also serve a purpose
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It wouldn't be the first time we disguised someone."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Also, we need to learn about you know who and your orphans would love to see you
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm... access to the libraries is more free here, isn't it?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth walks into the room, having apparantly not been told about the meeting, and sits beside Rynar
<Corvin> 6 Rynar looks u from ploishing his armor. 0 "Are you all crazy?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You know who...?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> It does not change the fact that I am.." 6She doesn't want to say 'famous,' perhaps.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Yes; the new Bishop in Matias is very lax and allows the people much more freedoms in books and study
<Seraphna> Seth> "Crazy? Quite a bit!"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> He's also done a good job of weeding out corrupt officals.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You're just now noticing..?
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I thought all the church higher ups were corrupt.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms quietly.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I do not want to say all-- but it is likely many...
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Even in a barrel of bad apples, there's got to be one or two that's still good."
<Corvin> 6 Rynar shakes his head and lays his armor out so he can start straping it back on. 1 "As far as I am concerend, all the priests can burn."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Bishop Habashi is young
<Corvin> "As far as I am concerend, all the priests can burn."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> If there is any one that we could try to seek aid in the establishment, it would be Habashi
<Seraphna> Seth> "Less time for him to have been corrupted."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> He is a scholar as well as I was. We spoke often
<Eluere> <Zeal> You think he would turn you in?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Wait... so you're thinking of actually approaching him?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> It's a risk I'm willing to take
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I see; alright
<Eluere> <Nephilim> On the plus side, another rich estate to visit." 6She giggles, rubbing her hands.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> We should have a boat ready in case this Bishop attacks and kills Thomas so we are not trapped.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas rubs the back of his head a bit
<Corvin> "I Should go with him."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Maybe you can ask him about this ol' swordhilt I found underground Navarro.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> You are bloodthirsty and would likely strike the Bishop down either way, Rynar
<Xanatos> <Valen> Sword hilt?
<Seraphna> Seth> "Alright, we'll get a boat."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim takes it out, flipping it like Faile does. 1"I didn't find anything out about a 'bladeless sword' in the books there."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at the hilt curiously, having been taking interest in swords with her training
<Corvin> "Better if he has an escort."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over. "Oh, you still have that?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I can assist Thomas. 6He notes as he peers at the hilt.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pauses, wiggling and moving it around like a cat toy when she spots Lenneth eyeing it
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> If you give your word not to jeapordize Thomas and only kill the Bishop if he betrays us
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It could just be part of a sword, maybe we'll run across a blade?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Nephilim oddly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Angel says to Rynar
<Corvin> 6 Rynar nods. 0 "I will try not to kill him."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I dunno. If it were just a part of something I'd have tossed it already. It doesn't seem like it was intended to have a blade. It's why it caught my eye.
<Seraphna> Seth> "There you go, he'll try."
<Eluere> <Zeal> You will not try-- you will not." 6She eyes Rynar sternly.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> No offense to you, V alen - but I do not want you near a church offical until you have proven yourself
<Seraphna> Seth> "Listen to her mate, she's scarey when she gets mad."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Of course.
<Eluere> <Zeal> We are not murderers and thieves--" 6Nephilim chimes in behind her. 1"--*sigh* ...we do not kill on whims."
<Corvin> 6 Rynar snorts. 1 "I will not kill the bishop unless he makes the first move."
<Corvin> "I will not kill the bishop unless he makes the first move."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Thank you - I know you have had bad experiences, Rynar, but Habashi is a good man
<Seraphna> Seth> "At least, mostly we don't kill on whims."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Acceptable.
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks, peering at Seth. 1"What is that supposed to mean?"
<Seraphna> * Seth looks over at her. "Mmm. Mercy killings and all that rubbish. I'm not meant to understand such things, apparently."
<Corvin> 6 Rynar smiles grimly at the memory of the priest he left behind.
<Eluere> <Zeal> You are a hunter and do not understand the mercy of death?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy makes a face at 'Mercy killings' and Zeal might notice her arm looks a bit like it's being careful of pain
<Eluere> 6Zeal looks estranged at Seth. 1"You truly are a weird one."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gets to his feet and dust himself off. 1When do we depart?
<Seraphna> Seth> "I thought I did."
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> I am ready to now - are all of you?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans over to Neph, she pauses and nods to Angel. "I'm ready."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I move when you do, m'lady."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods and moves to get his pack.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Then get our stuff and we will go; once we are underway, I will relinquish control back to Jean
<Corvin> 6 Rynar straps his armor and picks up some gear. Solemnly he nods.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim peers at Kaelan. 1'Yeeees?'
<Seraphna> * Seth elans over, holding out a piece of parchment. "Look at this while you wait?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles to Neph. "Can I take a look at that hilt later? Maybe I can figure something out about it with some close examination."
<Corvin> 6 Rynar takes the parchment from Seth and looks it over.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Why do you 'release' control to Jean, exactly, Angel?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I don't know. Maybe we could trade, though?
<Seraphna> * It was held out to Jean, Seth pauses and pulls it away from Rynar.
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> Because you all enjoy her
<Eluere> <Zeal> What is Lady Al'ryl... to you?
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> A naive child.
<Eluere> <Zeal> Th-That is not what I meant..
<Seraphna> * Seth holds the paper out to the Angel, it's covered in Jean's strange writing, unintelligible to anyone else.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Another being inhabiting the same body. Likely the host. Is that correct?
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel takes the parchment and gets up, movig out of the hut
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Trade?"
01<@DeathStar> <Angel> She is not a host or the owner of the body; I do not know where she came from except that she is an accident, perhaps due to my memory loss upon impact
<Eluere> 6Zeal sighs and follows, deciding she'll not press it.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You know, one for one." 6She gets a smile, peering slowly down at the golden sword
<Seraphna> * Seth frowns and taps his chin. "Must be hard..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fascinating. Perhaps she's some form of the inner workings of your mind. The innocent and less jaded portion, yes?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks. "Oh! You want the sword we found?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> I doubt it." 6She chips in to Valen as they move out, leaning against the hut
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh?
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Valen curiously.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The angel doesn't eye the parchment at all, simply taking a feather with ink from a container and writing something, then rolling it up to put in a sack. Rachael and Mercy move to get sacks
<Eluere> <Aschae> I don't find her any less innocent than the other. Huhuhu.
<Seraphna> * Seth's eyes flick a moment to note the sack and he rises, grabbing up his gear and his bow.
<Eluere> 6Azhren stoops, taking as many of the sacks as he can grip with one hand and drapes them over his shoulder, eyeing Rachael and Mercy
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Well, I'll take it as rent.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I suppose that could very well be true. 6He lets out a slight chuckle.
01<@DeathStar> 6* They pause and both giggle at Azhren, grabbing clothes and tent sacks
01<@DeathStar> 6* Some village girls move over, including Lily; most go to Valen and Rachael. "We will miss you - promise you will come back to us."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "I guess that's fair... what's rent?"
01<@DeathStar> <Lily> It is a shame you are going, Mr. Rynar; are you sure you will not stay?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles and gives a nod to them, saying that it may be a much longer span of time though.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I will miss all of you. 6* Syd hangs nearby, watching Nephilim like a sad pupbark
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Meaning it's enough compensation for you to have the bladeless sword-- for a little while.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma hops on a table with meat, eating away
<Corvin> "I would rather to stay far from the Church" 6 Rynar watchs the group. 0 "But I have a duty."
<Eluere> <Zeal> S-Soma!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Somal ooks up at Zeal, then begins to eat faster
<Eluere> 6Zeal frowns and stomps toward him
01<@DeathStar> <Lily> We do not see the church out here very often; it sometimes years
<Eluere> <Zeal> Where are your manners!?
<Seraphna> * Seth pulls on his cloak, Kaelan grabs her things as she rises. "Oh, well okay. I have a perfectly good sword I just bought anyway." *she unhooks the golden sword from her weapon's belt and holds it out*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma grabs a big piece of peace and hops down, terying to run off with it
<Corvin> 6 Rynar snorts in humor. 0 "You are fortunate. That you do not see them and they do not find you."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pauses, then smiles broadly like a temporarily satisfied cat as she hugs the golden sword, handing Kaelan the odd hilt
<Seraphna> * Seth looks over and whistles to Soma, holding out a hand and winking to him. "C'mere pal."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma runs for the hand
<Seraphna> * Kaelan takes the hilt and smiles, putting it in her things.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lily leans up to kiss Rynar's cheek. "If you ever come back, I will be pleased."
<Seraphna> * Seth catches him up and holds him in his arm. "There's a good lad, get enough to eat?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe by the time we return some of you will have children. 6He muses.
<Eluere> <Zeal> ..." 6She peers at Soma and Seth, then just walks off toward Thomas, chatting with him.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar's face becomes a mask of shock.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen seems amused at himself then motions for everyone to begin moving, turning to walk on, pulling his arms inside the cloak so he looks super cool.
<Eluere> <Aschae> ...Is-- he the leader now or something?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He's the sort that likes to at least think he is. I think it comes with being a noble... but he's right, we should get moving."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Apologies, I fall into habits.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar follows Valen away from the village.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit. "It's alright."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan begins to move.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances to Kaelan slightly and then looks ahead. 1I'm no noble.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Noble." 6She snerks.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I had no idea sir Lankin was nobility. Does that make lady Hilund a duchess?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What was all that finery set up next to Kalo's mansion then? A really well disguised thatch hut?"
<Seraphna> * Her tone for Kalo is about the same one might have for saying multiple curses. Seth pets Soma and falls in line near Valen.
<Xanatos> <Valen> My father was nobility. But I was raised in this village just the same as the others. I turned my back on all of that the moment I left.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...Fair enough."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Well, you don't seem so bad now that you're not trying to get us killed."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Though technically he was just a Knight. Your contempt for nobles is understandable Kaelan but just the Priest in Matias, not all of them are corrupt.
<Xanatos> 6Valen nods to Seth at that. 1At this point I'm outmanned anyhow.
<Xanatos> NRP: just like*
<Eluere> <Zeal> ... ..." 6She practically squirms. 1"Some of the nobility are merely naive like Jean."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It was more about what you exchanged for us, rather then what you were." *she doesn't sound as accusing as she could*
<Seraphna> Seth> "Righto, Valen Lankin is it?"
<Corvin> "I need a new cloak."
<Eluere> <Zeal> They do not know any better. If it were not for the church I would not be any different myself." 6She says oblivious to her initial attitude.
<Xanatos> <Valen> You think I did it for the property? 6He seems amused and then nods a comfirmation to Seth.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You did it for your sister, that's understandable."
<Eluere> 6Zeal blinks at Rynar's random input. 1"Seth is a hunter. If you have him skin something, I could sew you one."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I am unfamiliar with the plants here suitable for weaving.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Doesn't mean I felt entirely thrilled seeing you in a mansion after we got out of prison."
<Eluere> <Azhren> Was it not fun?
<Corvin> "It feels wierd traveling without one."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Jealousy then? I understand. I would likely feel the way if you were the one in a slightly larger than normal home.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Jealousy? No. Injustice, yes."
<Seraphna> Seth> *leans in and whispers something to Valen*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Injustice? 6He mulls over on that word, glancing to Seth.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers at him quietly. Seth then speaks up louder. "That's Seth Vimes, former Navarro City Watch, currently a Hunter in wandering."
<Eluere> 6Aschae peers at them, soaking in information from before she joined the group. Nephilim hums off to the side, not paying mind to old news.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms and nods. 1At any rate, I am partly to blame for some of your hardships, and for that I apologize. But I did what I thought was right. Ultimately I was just a fool but I do not regret my actions.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls a hand out of the cloak and holds it out towards Seth. 1Pleasure.
<Seraphna> * Seth takes it with his free hand and shakes.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers between them a little sulkily, but keeps on moving along.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> How did you survive going POOF, anyway, Val?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh I didn't. 6He says with in a vague wink.
<Seraphna> Seth> "So you are one of those brought back."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You have the light too!?
<Xanatos> <Valen> The light? I have absolutely no idea.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Oh. You suck, Val." 6She sulks.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> If I had the light would that mean I would be suitable to be your husband?
<Xanatos> <Valen> On a side note. The little group has grown quite large.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Going after the pretty songstress, a man after my own heart."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We have picked up quite a few recruits... and lost some..." *her voice lowers as she says the last bit*
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I already asked you to marry me. Now you're curious?" 6She waves a hand dismissingly at Valen
<Xanatos> <Valen> I missed my chance then? That's...unfortunate. 6He glances to Kaelan and nods slightly. 1I heard tales of one of the founding group members.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Harbinger... took control of Dahok, after we got seperated from him. Used him to attack us. We... fought back..." *there's guilt in her voice*
<Seraphna> Seth> "Cutting in a bit, it wasn't Harbinger, but a God-General who acted as him."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You didn't try to save him?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks down. Seth coughs, "More or less my fault, mate. He nearly killed Jean. We went from trying to subdue him to lethal at that point."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Suppose I should consider myself lucky then.
<Seraphna> Seth> "He came back though. In Jean's body."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs a bit, she seems less guilty now, remembering something from that time.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Gave me a righteous punch in the nadgers for that. And yes, Kaelan, forgave you, so stop sulking."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks away.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Strange.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Well, we killed the God General when we took Anima D and the Gem from the nearby ruins. Something happened during the fight, and the Angel said Dahok was destroyed."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms at that then shakes his head. 1The fact he even got in her body is still a smidge out there for me.
<Seraphna> Seth> "She's a gifted lady."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Has to do with the mark." 6She gestures to the runic sigil on her stomach.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan adjusts the cloth hiding one of her eyes at that.
<Xanatos> <Valen> The mark? 6He looks curious. 1I don't remember that.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar flexes his shoulders.
<Seraphna> Seth> "They started appearing after I met these folks, so not surprising. They bind us to the Angel."
<Corvin> "Say what?" 6 Rynar drops all the gear he is carrying.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen peers at Rynar dropping gear as they're moving.
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Rynar. "Come on man, you've practically had these flashed in your face for days now."
<Corvin> 6 Rynar comes to a halt. 0 "I did not know I would be marked."
<Seraphna> Seth> "You're not goin to be, mate."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses to peer between the two.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar arches his brow. 0 "You just said..."
<Seraphna> Seth> "I believe the Angel already said you could go on your own way when we got to Matias. She doesn't at this point intend to keep you around."
<Corvin> "I see. Then I suppose I will help you to your ships then at the very least."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm curious. Why does this 'mark' worry you so?
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's cute to see you worried, but you can only take the mark willingly, boy.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Well, the prophecy does say her followers will be marked, doesn't it?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> The prophecy also notes that she'll bring about the end of all tha tis.
<Corvin> "It's not like I need another reason to be killed."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Then don't ask for it. Simple as that.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Have my theories about that one still."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Technically, Rynar was it? Being witht he Angel's group will get you killed faster than anything else on this plane. Why then, are you even here?
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mutual lack of love for the Church."
<Corvin> "They helped me with one of my errands"
<Eluere> <Aschae> Fate, some might say.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmmm. I suppose. 6He muses, then turns to begin walking again.
<Seraphna> * Seth and Kaelan press on.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar gathers up all the gear he dropped and follows.
<Xanatos> <Valen> This 'mark'. What does it do?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Nothing much, at first.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Awaken your inner strength!! --And the Angel can kind of manipulate you... but give benefits.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm not sure losing one's will could be outweighed by benefits.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> It's not necessarily will...
<Xanatos> <Valen> Unless one of those benefits is flight. 6He says after a moment, getting a hint of a smirk on his face.
<Eluere> <Aschae> If you're strong, you don't need to lose your will.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances between Aschae and Nephilim. 1Oh?
<Eluere> 6Aschae simply smiles, chuckling at Valen's flight comment.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Well... um... ask Kael!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's helped us find her when we get seperated..."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blushes a bit. "We can feel each others emotions too."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Frankly it all depends on how much you, or she, or both, open up.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I find that...a bit distrubing, truly.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> And it varies from person to person the effects and um..
<Eluere> <Aschae> Augmentations-- she performs.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Interesting. So flight is not one of those benefits, is it?
<Corvin> "I have to agree with the nobleman."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Flight remains to be seen. However, Kaelan can jump pretty far."
<Xanatos> <Valen> That is from the use of magic, yes? I remember that much, but it wasn't exactly from any marks.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It came from Jean's power though."
<Eluere> 6Aschae pauses, then smiles, bringing up her hand, conjuring the earth beneath Valen to rise up and ensnare his legs.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and falls over, eyeing his legs, he peers around quickly.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Behave, ravenhair." 6She notes to Rachael. 1"I mean no harm. But for example-- the angel's influence is returning to me the use of my old arts little by little. Without the mark, I would still be stripped of prowess as the church left me imprisoned. You recall those cantrips? It is unlikely you would progress farther.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> It resonated with my own magic of song-- and made me encounter that Light thing.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms. 1And what good does this power do you? 6He shifts to break his feet free.
<Corvin> 6 Rynar frowns at the open use of magic. 0 "Reckless. Dangerous. Unholy."
<Eluere> <Aschae> It shall be quite helpful in killing the neglectful,Taren gods who fear magic in the hands of mortals.
<Eluere> 6Aschae dismisses her hold, the earth falling away from Valen..
<Seraphna> * Seth peers at Rynar. "Calm down lad, we're in a jungle."
<Xanatos> <Valen> And with power comes murder and death. 6He says as if reciting some sort of a passage. He gets to his feet and begins to move again.
<Corvin> "All the same."
<Seraphna> Seth> "Let it be unholy I say, would you rather it was holy?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Things can be holy and remain unafiliated with the gods.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Like the village holy rites!
<Corvin> 6 Rynar sulks at the ribbing of the faith he'd follwed so long.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yes. Infact, the gods are a prime example of how power corrupts. I believe at one time they likely were not as they are now.
<Seraphna> Seth> "...They can? I thought the very definition of Holy required a god."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Holy simple refers to the divine.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Something sacred. Tradition in culture is holy.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Tradition is tradition, there's nothing divine about humans going about the way they always have."
<Xanatos> <Valen> If you believe that then you've never been part of a culture with traditions that are more important than any else.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You're both wrong. It's faith.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim tilts her head, skipping along beside Valen. 1"Tradition is like Seth says, just boring practice of the same ol'. But when people have faith in it-- believe it to be the truth and way of things with their heart-- it becomes holy."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> That's why it's holy with gods. Because they're believed in.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well said. 6He nods. 1Funny, I don't remember you being so insightful. 6He leans towards her slightly.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You never asked." 6She sniffs.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Rather scholar-like answer for an elf.
<Seraphna> Seth> *raises a brow* "At any rate, we know what Rynar meant it to be."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles and messes with her hair.
<Eluere> <Zeal> What is wrong with scholars?!
<Eluere> 6Aschae peers at Zeal, staring.
<Eluere> <Zeal> ...I mean... uh..
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's good to see that you and THomas are a couple by the way Zeal. I forgot to give my congratulations.
<Eluere> 6Zeal jerks and reddens, hiding on the other side of Thomas, murmuring.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> She says 'thanks.'
<Eluere> <Zeal> N-Nephilim!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen looks amused. 1You wouldn't be embarassed if someone congratulated you for our relationship would you Neph?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... huh?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen places an arm around her shoulders. 1Nothing.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim squints at Valen suspiciously.
<Eluere> <Aschae> .. huhuhu.
<Corvin> "If you know me so well."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smirks. 1So tell me what I missed in your life after we were last together.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Y-You two have been together?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Heeer mind's in the gutttter.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lets out a laugh. 1Back then I was but a child.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "O-Oh..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> At least we know that Kaelan's mind is as dirty as her shoes.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "My shoes are dirty...?" *she blinks, checking her boots*
<Corvin> 6 Rynar smirks as the humor turns to that of the troop cook fires.
<Eluere> <Aschae> As absent as them, anyway.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Huh?"
<Seraphna> Seth> "Teasing a blonde, how mean."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Pardon?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen chuckles lightly.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Yes my golden haired siren?"
03* DeathStar is now known as DS[Gone]
<Eluere> 6Nephilim hrmphs, then hums and starts to low sing something-- Seth's arm catches aflame.
<Seraphna> * Seth acks and pats it out. "Way to take a compliment."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Remind me to keep you happy.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim grins and flutters her lashes at Valen
<Xanatos> <Valen> Can I get you anything? Fruit? A back rub, maybe carry you for a bit? 6He chuckles at himself.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> All of the above..!?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen laughs. 1Don't worry, I'll get on that with great haste.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim shifts and springs on Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and flails his arms as he begins to shift to the left and to the right.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I-I can't look imposing with you on me!
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Some of the idea!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You were imposing?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen makes a face at that. 1I've been told I can be.
<Eluere> <Zeal> He can be bothersomely bossy.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Someone had too or else you wouldn't have gotten far from Navarro! 6He reaches up to try and tickle Nephilim.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I technically didn't get far."
<Xanatos> <Valen> You got to the border.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim jerks, then tries to act normal
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Close enough I guess. At least I got better."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and frowns. 1You always could act like the tickling didn't get to you.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> That's 'cause it doesn't!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen scoffs but lowers his hand. 1Says you.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Yep!
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just like how shiney things don't distract you, yes?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> N-Nope.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. Of course. 6He says with a smirk.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Having reached a creek to break out, the group sits to get water. Jean merrily washes her face, humming happily, while Mercy gets some food cooking over a fire - deeretard meat
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks about to see if anyone else is watching, then pulls off her bandanna and joins Jean in washing up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas sits and goes through his notebooks as usual, while Faile goes to the edge of their makeshift break camp to peer into the jungle. Lenneth gets her sword out, going through motions
<Seraphna> * Seth grins a bit and looks over the preparation of the deertard. "I trust the meat is adequate, Ms. Mercy?"
<Eluere> 6Aschae walks past Lenneth further up the stream, she taps Lenneth's rear on the way to straighten her posture.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> Yes, Sir. Seth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth pauses, then shifts to straight as directed, pausing. "Aschae, I was wondering if you could train me with staffs later. I feel I have much I could learn from you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean begins to strip off the silk top and bottom. "Jean sad didn't get say goodbye to nice villagers."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Hm..? Well, I couldn't refuse a pretty face asking.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles and works her own clothing off. "Well, next time we see them just give them a really happy hello to make up for it."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> A pretty face? I am pretty?
<Eluere> <Aschae> Of course, dear.
01<@DeathStar> 6* She seems surprised somewhat, looking thoughtful
<Eluere> 6Aschae chuckles, then treks off.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> You are very pretty, too! 6* She notes, calling out, then goes back to training
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean washes herself in the stream, nakede, humming happily, while Mercy gets the meat cooking, leaving it in Seth's hands, then reluctantly grabs a sword and shield, looking like she's about to do the hardest chore ever, and moves to stand near Kaelan. "I am ready for my training after you are done bathing."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Okay!
01<@DeathStar> 6* she says abut the villagers
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit and starts rinsing off Jean. "Alright Mercy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks at Mercy with a sword and shield, then pouts as her bathing comes to an end, looking at Jean all sad faced like a kid wanting more candy
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Oh, did you want lessons too sis?"
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Lessons?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm teaching Mercy some self defense."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Oh! Valen used to teach me such things!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That he did. Same reason I want to teach her, so she can defend herself if we fail to protect her sometime."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> That good idea! 6* She nods, shifting to get out of the water naked to join Mercy
<Seraphna> * Kaelan catches her about the waist and pulls her back. "Clothes, missy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean sulks but moves to get them and put them on; but be ing wet they get see through fast
<Seraphna> * Kaelan sighs. "Use them to dry up, we'll get you a change." *she grabs the drycloths and works on herself and Jean*
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan squirms as if to get away
03* DeathStar is now known as DS[LayingDown]
Session Time: Sun Sep 12 00:00:00 2010
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Valen is stalked
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses, straitening up from washing his face to peer around slightly.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Jean's face is right there in his. "Valen! You're back!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and lets out a noise, stumbling back and almost falling into the water.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen catches himself and lets out a breath. 1You scared me.
<Sera> * Seth chuckles, peers out from beside a tree.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Jean giggles, her silk top and loin cloth a bit see through from washing. "You're back!" 6* She leaps on him in a hug
<Sera> * Kaelan trails after her, she pauses and watches Jean pounce.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks as he's hugged, hands out wide in surprise. 1You...missed me?
<Sera> Kaelan> "Isn't that clear?" *she giggles*
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Jean> Yes! I thought you were dead, but then you weren't but you were captured by the church, but you're free! 6* She smiles happily
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Jean> Jean is glad Valen is back!
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns a bit, watching Valen to see how he answers now.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hmms and then nods, returning the hug briefly. 1Yes I'm back. But I wasn't captured.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Jean blinks, looking confused, but sits on him, all straddled. "Rachael was really sad you were gone and ... not captured. I'm glad you're back! We both missed you!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen frowns slightly and nods. 1Well I do appreciate being missed, but I betrayed you, I tried to turn you in to save the others, don't you remember?
<Sera> * Kaelan tenses a little, she watches the two carefully.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Jean> ... 6* She looks confused. "You did? Jean not remember much --- had collar on that made her forget things. Do remember how to write now!"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah. I did. 6He rubs his neck slightly. 1I'm sorry I betrayed your trust. If you're angry at me, I understand. 6He pauses for a second. 1But writing is good.
<Sera> * Kaelan frowns at Valen.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Jean> Why did you betray? Valen was always nice to Jean - taught her to defend herself and helped me a lot.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I thought that would be the only way to protect Rachael. But I was mistaken.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Jean> Oh. Jean will protect Rachael. 6* She says seriously
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hopefully I can too.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Jean smiles and nods, getting up and looking cheerful as usual. "Now that Valen is back, we can all be like old times -- almost." 6* She looks distant, then skips off to do something.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits up slightly and arches a brow to watch her, then finally shifts himself around to finish cleaning off.
<Sera> * Kaelan moves to follow after her, Seth steps up and leans down to wash himself.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Mercy peers at Kaelan go off
<Xanatos> <Valen> Amazing that she does not hate him.
<Xanatos> NRP: me*
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Jean begins to gather water for their water sacks, humming.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael kneels by Valen. "I'm not sure she is capable of hate."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> And if there is anyone that can make her feel hate, I don't want her to meet them
<Sera> * Kaelan pauses, looking at Mercy. "Oh right, sorry, got preoccupied, let's get started, shall we?"
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Mercy> We can wait if you wish, my lady
<Sera> Seth> "Mmm, I wonder, haven't we already met the part of her capable of that?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> It seems a bit surreal, being back with the group. I trailed you for quite some time.
<Sera> * Seth raises a brow. "You trailed us?"
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> When was this? 6* It seems to be to them both
<Xanatos> <Valen> A group this big is easy to track. But I only was able to catch up because of your stopping in the village.
<Sera> * Seth raises a brow. "You tracked us through a teleportation?"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> He's being fishy again. I say we stab him.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> We saw him in come in with Carly looking like Neph; maybe Carly mimiced Nephilim's abilities?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles slightly. 1She helped me yes. But as to why, I'm not sure. She is quite angry with all of you.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Not happy the other vampire got offed.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Pretty sure she was upset with you long before that.
<Sera> Seth> "We did technically leave her behind."
<Sera> * Kelan shakes her head and leas her off a little. "Now, show me how you believe a shield and sword should be held."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I still say we stab him.
<Sera> Seth> "I think Neph likes you, Valen."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> I think it's because he ignored her marriage offer
<Xanatos> <Valen> I didn't think she was being serious.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> Valen, propose to narvan Nephilim properly
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* She elbows him, straight faced
<Eluere> <Nephilim> N-Nonsense. It's because he hurt my cie narvan's feelings.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks slightly and ahems. 1Nephilim will you ma-
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael peer at Nephilim, but smiles softly. "I want to put the past in the past. Valen proposed not to do it again and I believe him. I want you to, too, or you'll hurt my feelings."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Mercy properly and submissively leans forward to watch, looking meek
<Eluere> 6Nephilim stabs Valen. In the face. In the eye. With her finger.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> * Rachael holds up a hand to block it
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Don't you dare do that just 'cause she asked!
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> Nephilim, you are impossible sometimes. 6* She sighs, shaking her head, then looks at Valen. "That was my bad; a girl is sensitive about it and I made a joking matter."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods once and glances back to the water. 1I'm sorry Nephilim.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'm an elf, remember? I'll... put magics on the both of you.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Thomas listens to them all thoughtfully
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You know. Like uh. Turn you into Toadibbits or something.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> And I'll spank you later.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael lifts her hand threateningly
<Eluere> 6Nephilim jerks, and scampers away. 1"Not as a toadibbit you won't!"
<Sera> * Kaelan holds her shield outward, blade to the side. "This is a standard block, you can strike around the shield, using it as a barrier.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael begins to chase her with her hand
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> Better do it fast then, elf!
<Sera> Seth> "...Have these two always been so entertaining?" *he looks at Valen*
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Mehh! I'll set your panties on fire!
<Eluere> 6Nephilim leaps for the trees.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Faile speaks as they chase each other around, directed at Valen. "Your sister has talked about fear of going insane; is it true halflings go insane?"
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael flips gracefully, climbing up the trees and moving like an agile elf
<Eluere> 6Aschae leans around Faile. 1"Psst. It's true."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Insane? I'm not sure. I have heard tales of it, but I always paid it little mind.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6 Faile looks at Aschae, then looks at Valen. "I never believed it, but I was wondering if perhaps that is what happened to you for thinking the gods would honor any agreement."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Faile> The gods don't care if a seven year old is raped and thrown in jail for killing her attacker, much less sparing lives
<Eluere> <Aschae> No they don't.
<Eluere> 6Aschae shifts to sit on her knees complacently with her staff against her shoulder. 1"I hear it's due to an imbalance within them, as a being merged of two that never should."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> In fairness, I believe Lenneth intended to honor her agreement completely; she never harmed Rachael or Zeal as promised
<Xanatos> <Valen> I still believe the god I bartered with would hold up their end. But that god is no more. 6He blinks at the example and tilts his head slightly. 1I see.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> *er, not lenneth
01<@DS[LayingDown]> *the god
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> I've done so research on the god in question and found some interesting information
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh? 6He glances to Thomas now. 
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Faile> So it's an imbalance in the mind? Can herbs cure it?
<Sera> * Seth peers over at Thomas.
<Eluere> <Aschae> I heard whispers that elves believe it's the weakness of humans being overwhelmed by the elven ways. Likewise I hear it's the elven weakness succumbing to the gods' influence over human knowledge. No matter whom you listen to, it's about the others' weakness and the halflings get the short end.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Try and strike the shield Mercy."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> Yes; the said god began to show up more in litarture that the church has access to only 1000 years After Judgement. There's next to no records of her before that, except what she was god over
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Mercy swallows and swings the sword so weakly against the shield she stumbles and falls
<Eluere> <Aschae> The only constant is that they go insane. Not even the time or manner is ever the same. The trigger could be anything at any time, though stress is duly noted to cause it to rise up. Halflings are simply referred like walking tickers counting down their own demise.
<Xanatos> <Valen> A relatively newer god then? Less jaded than those in charge?
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Faile> Hm. Unfair.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Some halflings curse the gods themselves for it." 6She smiles. 1"It could very well just be the gods' disfavor, after all."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> I'm wondering so. IF she was around before the 1000 years, and her name is, then she wasn't allowed access to Tareh at first, or choose not to. Her first acts were to aid halfings and elves.
<Sera> * Kaelan nods, reachign out and helping her up. "Okay, first problem is how you plant your feet, only someone ready to run should be like that." *she helps position the girl, legs apart and feet firm* "This way your hips and midden take on the weight of your blow and you don't fall over."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Faile> Maybe Len---god is a halfling?
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* She tosses her knife in hand. "I've never heard of any other god caring."
<Xanatos> <Valen> It may be why the god was willing to deal with ,e
<Xanatos> NRP: me*
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> But all the gods are related; they would all be halflings or elves in that case
<Sera> Seth> "There's Pariah."
<Eluere> <Zeal> Perhaps-- but she seemed fond of myself, if I would be so bold.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Thomas smiles at Zeal. "Well, she is the patron of heroes."
<Eluere> 6Nephilim pauses suddenly in the chase, from something said, then grunts as Rachael runs into her.
<Sera> Seth> "A god devoted to the outcast and misunderstood."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael glomps her
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... Pari..
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Rachael> Pari...? 6* She pauses, looking at Nephilim worriedly
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Nothing.
<Eluere> <Aschae> It's a stretch, but perhaps the gods disfavor halflings because they're like them?
<Sera> Seth> "What... half human and half... whatever makes a god a god?"
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> Yes, the god of the outcast and misunderstood - Pariah. He is rarely seen
<Sera> Seth> "Mayhap because he's an outcast too?"
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> Or, perhaps Aschae, halflings and elves have the power to hurt the gods. Nephilim can use teleporters they cannot.
<Eluere> <Aschae> That is what I meant. Perhaps elven blood has the capacity to oust the very power the gods wield themselves. People are greedy.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> I am beginning to wonder if maybe our litature is wrong and the gods are not related. It would explain their different looks and how they act. There is one thing they all share, supposedly - silver blood. I would like to, uh, cut.... you know who.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Rachael gives Nephilim a sisterly kiss
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Mercy sighs
<Sera> Seth> "Better not to, Thomas."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Patience. With how often this group battles, you will see blood.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Mercy tries to keep her hips and legs spread apart.
<Eluere> 6Aschae peers at them all, then smirks and rises.
<Sera> * Kaelan guides Mercy's arm in a few swings. "Like this, put your back, shoulders and hips into it, not so much your arm itself. You have much more strength in other areas to channel."
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> I am not suggesting a major cut. ... women bleed once a month as well. Perhaps one of you ladies would...not mind...? 6* He goes to mention
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Then reddens and looks down as if he said something lewd
<Xanatos> 6* Valen eyes Thomas for a second then shakes his head slightly. 1Too far. Besides, if that was silver and she saw the others bleeding red, she would be concerned, right?
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Thomas> Yes, that would be concerning.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> <Mercy> Yes, my lady.
<Eluere> 6Aschae walks around the camp, looking for Lenneth where she last saw her practicing.
01<@DS[LayingDown]> 6* Lenneth sits, carving a piece of wood into a ringed staff like Aschae's, apparantly going to attach metal rings to it to facilitate the look
03* DS[LayingDown] is now known as DeathStar
<Sera> Seth> "Mmm, a hurdle we'll come to."
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> So, um...- what is the proper way to propose? 6* He whispers where Zeal cannot hear.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Now, this arch is a sweep, it's not really meant to do damage so much as to get your opponent to back off."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen arches a brow. 1You're thinking of-6He glances to Zeal then Thomas.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas nods, playing with his glasses
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy pays attention with the same meek, submissive look. Soma pops out of Zeal's cleaveage, mewling at Valen
<Eluere> <Zeal> I suppose you have not seem him in some time. Go if you must.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Lenneth darling, I need something from you.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen quietly begins to explain the traditional down on one knee type, but also explains how their villages proposal works, noting the battle between two contenders looking for the same ladies hand.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Though since most marriages are sacred under the gods, perhaps you should just simple...ask?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks up. "What can I do for you?"
<Eluere> <Aschae> I just need a little of your blood for a spell. No worries.
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Perhaps so. 6* Soma begins to lick Zeal's nose and mouth and purrs
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods, holding out her hand
<Xanatos> <Valen> But be sure to present a gift whenever you do. 6He says with a smirk and pats Thomas on the shoulder.
<Sera> Seth> "Some form of jewelry works best I think."
<Sera> * Kaelan moves about in front of her, holding up the shield again. "Alright, give it another go."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy mimics the swing but again hits it weakly
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> What do you think would best suit Zeal?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma hops off and trots over to Valen, sniffing him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shakes his head. 1I'm not sure. You would need to figure that out for yourself I believe. 6He peers to Soma and smiles. 1Well hello little one. 6He reaches into his cloak and then pulls out a cracker. 1Sorry, I'm out of meat.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Come on girl, swing the blade! Your enemy won't wait for the strike to hit!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy jerks and swings the blade again, harder, to appease Kaelan, closing her eyes
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma climbso nto his lap and sniffs the cracker, then takes it and begins to chew on it
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pets him. 1You seem to be the only animal companion that we had left.
<Sera> * Kaelan deflects it, pushing it aside and grabbing Mercy's arm, pulling her close, holding the sword arm firmly by the wrist. "Mmm, we need to overcome this fear of swinging a blade."
01<@DeathStar> <Soma> Mew!! 6* He puffs up his chest proudly
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy looks down shamefully. "I am sorry I have disappointed you, Lady Kaelan...." 6* She says meekly
<Sera> Seth> "He's a tough cat."
<Sera> * Kaelan kisses her cheek. "Hush, everyone's timid at first. Think of it this way. You're learning to battle to better serve your mistress. Your mistress depends on you."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Clearly. To put up with some of the stuff that you've had to go through.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy nods, looking like she just got told she failed to do her duties as a servant, and somehow looks like she feels even more retched. Faile peers over at the two. <Faile> I think Kaelan is torturing your maid, Zeal
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma struts about proudly, then sits and begins to wash between his legs
<Xanatos> <Valen> A true warrior. 6He notes with a chuckle.
<Sera> * Kaelan pauses and peers over her. "That doesn't seem to rest well..."
<Eluere> <Aschae> Oh no, that won't do." 6She smirks, then moves around behind Lenneth
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy takes the sword and redoes the stance
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> You need the blood from somewhere else?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hops back down by Valen. She awws at the blue tigoar. "He remembers you."
<Sera> * Kaelan readies the shield again. "Don't think of it as a remark on your quality, consider it a mantra for motivating yourself. You must strengthen your resolve. I myself tell myself I need to stand firm because I'm a Knight, because it's my duty to protect others. Here you only need to protect yourself. Now swing."
<Eluere> 6Aschae moves behind her and lifts her hair. 1"Something like that. This won't hurt much."
<Sera> Seth> "Quite the ladies man, wouldn't you say? Soma's got the affection of every girl in the camp."
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright. I trust you
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe it's my scent?
<Sera> Seth> "Do you smell of fish and game?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe a bit.
<Eluere> 6Aschae pricks her onces between the shoulder blades. 1"All done. Thank you, Lenneth."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael laughs a bit
<Sera> * Seth reaches out and scritches the tigroar between the ears. "'E's our little buddy."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma purrs happily, distracted
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I'm glad I could help; let me know how the spell goes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy swings again, just as poorly
<Eluere> <Aschae> Yes, yes." 6She shifts around her, but moves her hand through her hair and pinches her ear gently, smiling at her.
<Sera> Kaelan> "Again." *she holds the shield firm* "Eyes open, back straight!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen seems amused and leans over slightly to nudge Rachael with his shoulder.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth squeals in pain and jerks. "O-Ow"
01<@DeathStar> 6* MEercy forces her eyes open and straightens her back, swinging again
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Valen, nudging him back
<Xanatos> <Valen> I missed you. 6He says quietly, clearing his throat slightly since he's too manly to be too emotional.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I missed you more. 6* She says, not keeping the emotion from her voice and face.
<Sera> * Kaelan deflects the blow, smiling. "Better, again."
<Eluere> <Aschae> I'm not tugging that hard, you baby." 6She chuckles.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Sorry, you caught me by surprise it seems. 6* Her ears twitch
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles and reaches his arm out to pull her into a hug.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy stumbles at the deflect and falls down on her maid outfit
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans into his side, sighing happily and closing her eyes. "Everything feels right again, doesn't it?"
<Sera> * Kaelan reaches out a hand to help her up. "Careful, you need to hold your legs firm."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Hmm. It's very close, that's for sure.
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> S-Sorry. 6* She takes the hand and begins to pull herself up, but slips and brings Kaelan down on her
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm just worried about one thing
<Sera> * Kaelan eeps and falls on top of her, bracing with her arms, landing suggestively. She pauses and looks at Mercy, she smiles.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just one?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes. The ocean is bigger between Matias and Sinai, isn't it? ... I hate the rocking...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and lets out a laugh. 1Yes, it would take a while to make the trip. Maybe more than double as long as it took to get to Navarro.
<Eluere> <Aschae> Who'd have thought..?" 6She murmurs, then lets go of Lenneth and moves back toward the others, humming.
01<@DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... * She touches her own head, blinking, as Aschae returns to the others
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... 6* She sulks. "I wonder if Nephilim can use her stone to take us across the ocean."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Does that not drain her or anything?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Probably could." 6She hangs upside-down next to the two from a branch.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> But only where there's stones. We'd have to go back to the one here, from Matias-- even more travel on foot. And then who knows where we'd end up on Sinai.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and slowly reaches up to tickle Nephilim.
<Eluere> <Aschae> And the survey says..." 6She announces, a hand behind her.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses in mid-tickle to glance towards Aschae.
<Eluere> 6Aschae holds up her hand and vial. 1"Red."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Thomas leans forward. "Fascinating; do you think she is a fake god like Harbinger?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Well, the fake one we fought
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy apologizes
<Xanatos> <Valen> Huh. Strange. 6He jerks up now to pull Nephilim down.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> H-Hey! Aiee!
<Eluere> <Aschae> I guess that depends on whether you can prove the gods ever truly had blood of silver.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael laughs at that
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> A good point; we need to injure one to find out now
<Xanatos> 6* Valen shifts to cradle Nephilim. 1Aww look, I think she missed me, look at that face.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim glares, blushing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans in to tickle Nephilim's chin. "Ah, nie narvan looks like cie nervan now."
<Xanatos> <Valen> So these stones. Just how do they work? 6He lets Nephilim get up if she wants.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael grabs Nephilim to cuddle now
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> Interesting -- red blood....
<Sera> Seth> "Perhaps it was just a myth?"
01<@DeathStar> <Thomas> I'm not sure it is; but either way, we will find out sooner or later - the gods will not stop
<Xanatos> <Valen> They will stop. If we all fail.
<Sera> Seth> "Mmm."
03* DeathStar is now known as DS[LayingDown]
03* DS[LayingDown] is now known as DeathStar
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Or if we stop them
<Eluere> <Nephilim> The stones just work. I concentrate on a place-- like searching through a map in your head-- and it transfers anyone touching it or myself to another stone.
<Xanatos> <Valen> That's very resourceful. Maybe we can find a stone closer to the port?
<Sera> Seth> "They seem to turn up all over. We found one right under Navarro."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I wonder what their original purpose was?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Probably not much different from now.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim puts her arms up and reclines on Rachael
<Sera> Seth> "Seems pretty apparent... easy transport between cities. There were ruins by most of the ones found so far."
<Xanatos> <Valen> I guess more my question is who originally used them.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Don't know. Older'n me.
<Sera> Seth> "Well, Neph's an elf and she has this 'Light' in her that activates them."
<Sera> Seth> "Nuege was using elven allies to activate them as well."
<Xanatos> <Valen> So perhaps the elves before the humans spread out like a plague. 6He ahems. 1Maybe plague isn't the best word.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I don't disagree." 6She grins playfully.
<Sera> Seth> "I don't think humans were always... like we are today. I think at one point we were much greater."
<Eluere> 6Zeal deadpans, twitching, then turns her nose up to the side.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I was just referencing that their growth was quick like a disease, not that they were actually a disease. 6He rubs his neck slightly.
<Sera> Seth> "We were probably seen that way by someone or something. Hence the ruins and the glittering."
<Xanatos> <Valen> At any rate, I wonder if a halfling would be able to activate these 'stones'.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I couldn't
<Sera> Seth> "Wasn't it a sort of rare gift?"
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yes, the guy from Nuege said only 1 or 2 elves could do it
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ah, that makes sense. It's likely even rarer in halflings then.
<Sera> * Kaelan shifts to help Mercy up.
03* b12n11w00t (b12n11w00t@c-76-122-228-26.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #Session80
<Eluere> (Aieeee)
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen shifts to his feet now and move over to his pack, pulling his sword up to begin sharpening it.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> So many swords. But only I use knives and daggers." 6She grins.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I use a butterfly kn--
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You call that a knife? It's practically a sword!
<Eluere> 6Zeal puffs her cheeks, scowling off to the side.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Well it gets the job done.
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen shifts to adjust the wrist mounted crossbow. 1Though this is usually unexpected.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You should be more elegant!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's fingers elegantly find Nephilim's butt and pinches
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Elegant? In battle?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Damn strai--aiieee!!
<Eluere> 6Nephilim jumps slightly, flailing.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Ha ha
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I don't believe I'm very elegant in anything.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Look like a girl. That's a start!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's fingers pinch again
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Ow!!
<Eluere> 6Nephilim whirls, eyeing Rachael.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What? 6* She looks innocent
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I'm much too handsome to start looking like a girl.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> If it weren't for the facial hair--
01<@DeathStar> *pinch*
<Sera> Seth> "I believe we go for rugged and dashing in battle."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Confound it, Rach!!
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sorry, your elegant butt is just too much for me
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Just me lucky you don't have a small woodland creature growing on your face.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> W-Woodland creature?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma hops onto Zeal's face
<Eluere> 6Zeal lets out a noise
01<@DeathStar> <Soma> Mew
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> See? Soma is providing my example.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> ... What is it with that kitten and bad male role models
<Sera> Seth> "Clever little guy." *chuckles*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Soma then goes into Zeal's cleaveage, cuddling in
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> He needs a spanking
<Sera> Seth> *watches Soma's movements* "Very clever."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I will consider it.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I'm a bad role model?
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Any person with a penis is a bad role model
<Sera> Seth> "Harsh. I'll remember to tell Azhren that. Poor bugger."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> He tosses people. That's a good role model?
<Sera> Seth> "I was playing upon the preferences of the Lady."
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> Azren is less bad than most males; you are worst than most
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen peers at Faile quietly for a moment before glancing to the others.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> As for my preferences, do not think to know them. 6* A knife ends between Seth's legs, just missing him
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Reeowr. Fft. ftt.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> You're a very angry young woman. 6He notes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile eyes Valen, coldly. "Perhaps if you were in my shoes, you would be angry, too." <Rachael> They met her in prison for unjust reasons.
<Sera> * Seth sighs. "Mmm."
<Sera> * Seth pulls out the knife, putting it away.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> So, uh...Faile---are you staying with us? <Faile> No; once we reach the capital, Azhren and I will go our own ways.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy is helped up
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I imagine that I would very much be angry if I was in your position as well.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Don't like being chased by gods!?
<Sera> <Seth> "Azhren IS going with you then?" *he grins*
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> He has no desires to be with you all; I see no reason he would not leave as well. IF he follows me, I won't stop him
<Sera> <Seth> "Ah, so you haven't spoken to him about it."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> How romantic, two stoics.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> You and Azhren are a couple?
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> A couple? No
01<@DeathStar> 6* Faile runs her fingers along the metal prison chain around her neck. "No...we are not a couple."
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Ah, I apologize for my assumption.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'm sure they don't even know what a couple is.
01<@DeathStar> <Faile> .,.. 6* She eyes Neph, then rises and moves off
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> You upset her even more.
<Sera> Seth> "Mmm... she's allowed the pain of the events in her life to completely damage her. I feel pity."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> What happened to her?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> And if she's allowed it to damage her, why let Azhren go with her? She seems to like him

<Seraphna> Seth> "Her father raped her. She killed him."
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> It was her father? That's terrible.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Far as I understand it. She won't talk about it much."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs, peering down. "Yeah, I can see why she's not very social. I wonder why Azhren is so withdrawn."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> He's only really talked to Mercy and Faile
<Eluere> <Nephilim> The guy hacked his own arm off. Think there's really an explanation?
<Seraphna> Seth> "He is... interesting. Broke his arm so he decided to hack it off rather then get it fixed."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> You have a way of everything sounding so black and white.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy is forced to swing against Kaelan's shield again and again in the background, not looking like she's improving
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> And why couldn't he just let the arm heal?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Might have something to do with the circumstances of fighting and being in the frozen north.
<Seraphna> Seth> "World's a simple place unless you complicate it with shades of gray."
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Don't know, though, maybe Seth's a doctor and I didn't know.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Interesting. Maybe I would have done the same in the situation. I suppose I cannot know for certain.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Azhren is.... intense
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Nice way of putting it.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I'm intense.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Ha ha. Sure you are, Valen
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael giggles and hugs him
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> You...You don't believe me?
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Burn..?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You're. ... Valen. 6* She says with a helpless shrug
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen lets out a dramatic sigh.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Hee. Valen! 6* She returns with water
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Yes jean?
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Valen is Valen. <Rachael> I know! <Jean> Yep
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I...don't know what that means.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The two just smile
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> I'm going to spin that as a good thing. 6He hmms and then gets to his feet again. 1So Jean. Do you remember the defenses that I taught you?
01<@DeathStar> 6* JEan nods quickly and adopts one
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen smirks.1Excellent.
<Eluere> <Nephilim> He taught her to fight? No wonder she fights like a girl--
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen peers at Nephilim. 1That's not very nice.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean pouts at Nephilim. "I can defend myself and my friends with this!"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I'm a girl. Why's that an insult? Bet I could flay you.
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Arrogant.
<Eluere> 6Nephilim slowly eyes Valen
<b12n11w00t> 6* Valen gives her a smile.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean thinks, innocently walks over, does one of Valen's wrist grabbing moves and pulls Neph over her lap, then paddles her butt
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Wh-What the hell!! RAACH!
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> Excellent form Jean. Showing her what for.
<Seraphna> Seth> "Mmm, the wrath of the Jean."
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> Hee. Does Nephilim apologize about Valen's lessons?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael's eyes widen at the scene
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> I--t-this one's all you,Nephilim
<Eluere> <Nephilim> She only learned this sort of thing from you." 6She narrows her eyes.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> .... 6* She looks innocent, then scurries off
<Eluere> <Nephilim> Oh, I'll get you!" 6She flails, whining
01<@DeathStar> 6* Jean stops spanking and rubs her butt now. "You still have not apologized!"
<Eluere> <Nephilim> I didn't say anything warrantin' it!
<b12n11w00t> <Valen> So proud.
01<@DeathStar> <Jean> But I used the move to spank you! So clearly it's a good move!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Mercy pants tiredly as she falls down again
<Seraphna> * Kaelan lets up, helping her up. "Enough for one day. It may not look it, but the repeated practice does help."
01<@DeathStar> <Mercy> I-I will try harder, I promise.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hugs her. "You did EXCELLENT." *she winks* "The first trick to learning to fight is diligence and dedication, you have both."

<Eluere> <Zeal> I have not the faintest idea... We do not even have a proper village. We move continuously with the season and land.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> ... it syas something about looking for something - maybe someone in your village had something; or it was seeking someone in it
<Eluere> <Zeal> I do not know.. I was too young.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe when we meet some others from your village, they'll know?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Ah, now I remember.
01<@DSWithBrokeBack> <Rachael> Remember?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Oh, not what that demon might be looking for-- we called it our Weave.
<Eluere> <Zeal> We did not have a true village, after all. Our community was referred to as a weave.
03* DSWithBrokeBack is now known as DeathStar
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> A weave?
<Eluere> <Zeal> Right. Many of us learn to weave and thatch, since we make homesteads and shelters from weaved grasses and theads and the likes.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> MAybe the demon wanted something weaved?
<Eluere> <Zeal> So I guess.. we just adoped the term out of affection--" 6She pauses, peering at Rachael skeptically.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Sorry, I just can't figure out why a demon would kill a group of people who weave
<Eluere> <Zeal> W-We hunt and other things.. too..!" 6She stammers.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael hugs Zeal to herself. "Shhh. I know. I'm sorry for thinking outloud; I'm just worried about you"
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan approaches the two, looking cleaned up and washed, in a fresh change of clothing and finally not running about with a hand between her legs. Her blonde hair is tied back in a tail, the cloth changed out for a green silk one wrapped over one eye. "Hey... something wrong?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> Not exactly
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Just some narvan talk
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mmm, okay, so what're you two up to?" *she smiles softly*
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan nods. "Oh, alright." *she rubs her head a little* "So... with the exception of demon kidnappings... you have a really nice home here, Rach."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> D-Demon kid---oh. Right. Thanks. 6* She smiles, relaxing, thinking Kaelan overheard something
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks a bit, and tilts her head, "You're welcome... it's certainly nicer then the wastes after all... and I can barely remember Oas, but I think it still might be nicer."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah, I'll miss the quiet life here, but we're family now, so where we go, home is now
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles a bit at that. "It's... a nice thought. And you've got your brother back too."
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. 6* She smiles softly. "I just hope he's being honest - I really, really, really missed him." 6* She pauses, then grabs Zeal in a hug. "But that won't change you being my narvan. Like I said when Valen left, Zeal - you weren't replacing him and he won't replace you now."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan giggles. "Nice big family..." *she says, her voice jovial, but like it's masking something* "Good for you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael peers at Kaelan, then wraps an arm around her. "You're part of her family, too, Kaelan; just because me and Zeal have a connection of narvanians, doesn't mean you and I aren't close. Nephilim looks out for you just as much as Zeal."
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks in surprise. "I-I.... o-oh... s-sorry..." *she blushes a bit*
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Plus Jean adores you.
<Eluere> <Zeal> I still do not understand Nephilim's connection to the three of us. None of us necessarily lived with one another...
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, uh...
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well... you and I lived together, Zeal... even if only for a short time."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "At least... I think we did. We were both in Oas during that monster attack..."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth walks nearbyh in the background, collar on her; the answers sealed away, as if saying 'if you removed it, you could knoooow'
<Eluere> <Zeal> Yet she knows of your father and time in the wasteland, my time in Sinai though I do not recall her-- she says I was a ... cute... child... from the meadows. She knows Rachael from here.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Nephilim---travels a lot
<@Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks. "She... knew you in Oas?" *she rubs the back of her head* "I can't recall much from say, before I was six, but a bit into my sixth year I think, till the attack, I remember a bit of. You were sweet, I always remembered that."
<Eluere> <Zeal> I... see.." 6She sulks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Rachael rubs Zeal's back. "I--- ... I have an, um, idea..."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "You're sad you were a good girl?"
<Eluere> <Zeal> No. That I cannot remember. I was older than you. I should.
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> You..could ask..
<Eluere> <Zeal> Hm?
01<@DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I was thinking - Aschae mentioned that the Angel's mark allows her to feel Jean's will and thoughts - what if now that you are marked, the Angel could use it to look into your blocked memories?"
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> "She probably could."
