[Zoluren Royal Mews, Training Field] (170012)
Another practice area opens up, with the scent of fresh grass and the smell of horses in sharp contrast to the fragrant roses planted against a nearby brick wall. Wooden barrels and fences provide the perfect opportunity for practicing jumps and turns.
You also see an oak tree strung with garlands of thistle and amber-hued gaethzen orbs.
Also here: Enelne's Daughter Laureh, Enelne's Daughter Azume and Enelne's Son Hondashi.
Obvious paths: northeast, southwest.

Hondashi gazes intently into his sanowret crystal, and scintillating sparks of light dance across its surface.
Sukidesu seems to glow with an inner light, trailing rutilant sparks with every movement.
You sit down near an oak tree.
You ponder.
Sukidesu takes a seat near you.
Sukidesu gazes at you and rubs his chin in compassionate contemplation.
Laureh howls melodiously, serenading the black moon.
You quietly say in a Rakash accent, Zehira might c-come try to hurt you.
You grimace.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Yeah, probably.
Sukidesu grins at you, his dimples flashing into view.
Sukidesu leans on you.

You make a grunting noise.
You frown.
Sukidesu cocks his head at you.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, Hmm?
You say in a Rakash accent, I got what I n-needed from her. She'll grow b-bored quickly when I don't t-taunt her into it. But you...
You glance at Sukidesu, a male Kaldar.
You say in a Rakash accent, She'll k-keep hurting you. Because it b-bothers me. And gets me to fight.
You ponder.
Sukidesu looks at you and shrugs.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Doesn't mean I plan on running away.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Hmm...are there mana regen items? I know there are vitality ones...
You say in a Rakash accent, There are.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, If she comes...just let her do it. Don't give her the satisfaction. I won't.
You say in a Rakash accent, I can't d-do that.
You ponder.
Sukidesu gazes at you.
You say in a Rakash accent, Maybe I'll just... Ask her to d-direct it at me. If she feels you, um... n-need to die. She can c-come to me, instead.
Sukidesu leans on you.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, We're both stubborn.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
You lean on Sukidesu.
You nod in agreement.
It has been 457 years, 12 days since the Victory of Lanival the Redeemer.
It is the 1st month of Akroeg the Ram in the year of the Golden Panther.
It is currently winter and it is sunset.
You're positive it's 11 roisaen before the Anlas of Meraud's Cloak.
You glance up at the sky.
Katamba is unobscured by clouds.
Xibar is below the horizon.
Yavash is unobscured by clouds.
You howl melodiously, serenading the black moon.
You say in a Rakash accent, I.... want to hunt.
You quietly say in a Rakash accent, D-dioe.
Sukidesu glances at you.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, You want to hunt Dioe?
Sukidesu grins crookedly.
You nod in agreement.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Well, I mean I can't stop you...but I'm afraid of what he might do since he knows all your words.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
You gaze at Sukidesu.
Sukidesu gazes at you.
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, I p-promised myself. When I c-could kill Zehira, I'd go after D-Dioe.
Sukidesu nods to you.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Understandable...but he can stop you with a mere whispered word.
You lean on Sukidesu.
Sukidesu gazes up at the sky.
You hear your mental voice echo to Ollythander, H'lo, Olly.
[Personal][Ollythander] <to you> how are you today!
Sukidesu hums to himself.
You hear your mental voice echo to Ollythander, Eh. It's... complicated. I... sh-should be tracking down D-Dioe right now. But I can't... seem to s-start.
[Personal][Ollythander] <to you> What are you tracking down Dioe for?
You hear your mental voice echo to Ollythander, He killed S-Siendra. A while ago. I t-told him I'd come for him.
You hear your mental voice echo to Ollythander, And... and I s-suppose, for.. for me.
[Personal][Ollythander] <to you> ok that's fair...I'd advise against it, given the whole word situation, but I trust your judgement...just be careful. I'd offer to help, but I'd do little more than get in the way.
Sukidesu whispers, OOC: okay think the water's boiling, brb again
You nod to Sukidesu.
[Personal][Ollythander] <to you> I've got something for you if you're in the Crossing area though
You hear your mental voice echo to Ollythander, I am, I'm at my t-trees.
[Personal][Ollythander] <to you> I'm on my way
Radiant Aegis Ollythander just arrived.
You whisper to Ollythander, OOC: The posse is afk for a few, making dinner
You smile at Ollythander.
Ollythander whispers, OOC: understood!
Ollythander waves to you.
You hug Ollythander who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of apples clings to his skin.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, I've got the thing, just gimme a moment.
Ollythander smiles.
You grin.
You nod.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, If I'd stop backfiring...
Ollythander puts his lance in his axe harness.
You pat Ollythander on the back.

You take a bite of the apple. Yum! Sweet with a slightly tart finish!
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Saw that one and knew I had to save it for you.
You take a bite of the apple.
You grin.
You nod in agreement.
You take a bite of the apple.
Ollythander stretches his arms.
You say to Ollythander in a Rakash accent, I'd love t-to go sailing with you and S-Suki soon. Maybe even fishing.
You ponder.

Ollythander exclaims in a polished accent, Should be really fun!
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, You have a boat of your own.
You nod.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, What's it called?
Ollythander smiles.
You say in a Rakash accent, The Slo'Heke Mary.
Ollythander smiles.
You say in a Rakash accent, Means, umm...
You ponder.
You ask in a Rakash accent, Blood vessel. In S'Kra?
Ollythander ponders.
Ollythander laughs!
You grin.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, The bloody mary?
You grin.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander grins.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Clever.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, You need anything repaired?
You ponder.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I've been training near non-stop lately.
You move a Katamba-black diamond-hide shield with decorative butterfly-shaped studding to your right hand.

Ollythander exclaims in a polished accent, Of course!
You slide your left arm through the straps on your diamond-hide shield and flex, gaining a feel for the shield's weight.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, A lot of my repairs are just community service, but ones like this...are just something I'm glad I can do for friends.
You smile at Ollythander.
Ollythander hums cheerfully to himself.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Oh, I still haven't found anything afoul in the Keep, or the Therengian area.
You nod to Ollythander.
You nibble on your lip.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Buncha spiders.
You say in a Rakash accent, Feels like good n-news.. right? No signs is good.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I'll keep looking while I'm patrolling up there. I spoke with Aaiyaah about it, and I've got others looking for trouble too.
Ollythander nods to you.
You quietly say in a Rakash accent, Or really extra b-bad.
You nod.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I feel like if there was something impending, it'd have revealed itself to one of us at this point.
Ollythander shrugs.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Evil is subtle though, no hurt in continuing to patrol it.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Just wanted to check in about that since other things took priority.
You say in a Rakash accent, Thank you. It is always on my mind.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I thought it might be.
Ollythander stretches his arms.
Ollythander falls over.
You chuckle at Ollythander.
Ollythander laughs!

Sukidesu waves to Ollythander.
Ollythander waves to Sukidesu.
Ollythander puts his lance in his axe harness.
You ask in a Rakash accent, Where did all the s-snow go?
Sukidesu stands up.
You mutter to yourself.
Ollythander glances up at the sky.
Ollythander ponders.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Must have passed for now.
You say in a Rakash accent, Was looking f-forward to snow on my fur. Whole w-world smells... sharp.
Ollythander ponders.
Hondashi nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Sharp?
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Oh hey I've meant to ask about something.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, And if it's not a story you want to tell, that's alright too.
You glance at Ollythander, a male Halfling.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, You have some abyss colored stuff about your hair and skin.
You lean on Sukidesu.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, You don't take your mask of often, but I've noticed it when you have.
You give a slight nod.
You remove your warrior's mask, revealing your features once again.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, It had me curious.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Less noticable with the moonskin, but still there.
You say in a Rakash accent, I... It's how I c-came back. From meeting my Goddess.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Enelne?
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander ponders.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Interesting.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, I've always wondered why though...but I suppose that's unknowable.
You say in a Rakash accent, The eyes, the black s-streaks, the veins...
Ollythander nods to you.
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, I think... I think maybe...
Sukidesu gazes at you.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Does it hurt?
You shake your head.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Well that's good at least.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Not that I really could have done anything to help if it did, but I felt the need to ask.
Sukidesu ponders.
You say in a Rakash accent, That place. Where Sh-she was. It was... It b-bordered the... Void. I looked for a l-long while, at that tree, at Her light, at the dark. Maybe its... I don't know.
You ponder.
Sukidesu ponders.
Ollythander ponders.
You say in a Rakash accent, Maybe it s-stayed with me.
You rub your neck.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Those kinds of things stick with ya, yea.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, How did you come to meet her?
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, Oh. The... the whole story? It...
You ponder.
Sukidesu grins at you, his dimples flashing into view.
You say in a Rakash accent, Maybe a small p-part of the story.
Ollythander nods.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Just the parts you want to talk about.
Ollythander smiles.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Wild magic was in full swing.
Sukidesu nods.
You say in a Rakash accent, This all happened sh-shortly after Saragos and I tried to free our f-friends who had been kidnapped by the Heralds. We f-failed, and in recompense, the Heralds encased Knife Clan. We... We thought it was destroyed.
You grimace.
Murrula's Flames (OM)
You say in a Rakash accent, My Gods, Enelne, Mrod, and Coshivi, they...
You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.
Ollythander nods.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I had heard about that, not much more than they encased Knife Clan and the Rakash Gods intervened.
You say in a Rakash accent, They expressed their d-displeasure with me. Over creating a Godling. No m-matter my reasons, it is an afront.
Ollythander ponders.
You wince.
You say in a Rakash accent, See, it's a... a long story..
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, A Godling?
Ollythander nods to you.
(Nawain huffs a bit and gazes up at the stars.)
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, It was a very public ritual...everyone there saw the godling.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Pretty much anything involving the Heralds is a longer story.
You nod to Sukidesu.
Laureh roots around the area for a moment.
You say in a Rakash accent, I.. needed a d-divine entity, to leash mana to. To carry the p-power I'd wrapped around Arhat's to the... Um. The wall, between our Plane and... where the Null P-Prison was.
You say in a Rakash accent, So I made a Godling. And I t-trained it. And fed it.
Ollythander asks you in a polished accent, You can just do that?
Ollythander ponders.
You grimace.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Well...no.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, It didn't work.
You gaze up at the sky.
A pained expression crosses Sukidesu's face.
You say in a Rakash accent, It... It gained too much autonomy. Or always had it. I d-don't know.
Ollythander ponders.
You say in a Rakash accent, I'd fed it so much, when it was unleashed, Sihmiauri...
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, Well, everyone could see it. It eclipsed mountains.
You duck your head.
Sukidesu nods at you, obviously agreeing with your views.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, That's a big Godling.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says to Sukidesu in a polished accent, Sounds like it worked to me.
You say in a Rakash accent, It wouldn't carry to power through the p-planes like it was supposed to, to open the way.
You say in a Rakash accent, It devoured, and grew, and... d-disappeared.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, What did it devour?
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, All of the mana woven in the ritual I'd presume.
You nod.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, So it's still out there?
You say in a Rakash accent, And what I'd packed into the mortar of the Tower. And what c-came directly from me. It was... massive.
You ponder.
Hondashi gestures.
You say in a Rakash accent, I... I don't think it is.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Probably went back to wherever it came from to be honest.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, And your Gods were upset about it?
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Did they say why?
You say in a Rakash accent, It is an insult to them, anathema. An abomination.
Ollythander ponders.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Did you know that to start with?
You say in a Rakash accent, It is the only way Rakash can attune our s-souls to our Gods, though.
You ponder.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, By creating Godlings?
You say in a Rakash accent, I didn't think they cared. Not our Gods. Maybe the T-Temple, but not ours.
Ollythander nods to you.
You ask in a Rakash accent, Yeah. A Godling.. Hmm. Our devotion, wh-which usually goes to our Gods, goes to the Godling, instead?
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Admittedly, I don't even know what a Godling is, but I didn't know that about the Rakash.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Was this a remanant from what happened with Lyras?
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, I mean it's true for the Prydaen too, although they can only do the Triquetra, not the individuals.
Ollythander ponders.
You say in a Rakash accent, I think so. We never had to use s-sorceries to attune our souls to our Gods in the West.
Hondashi scarcely lets each note fade as he begins the next, drawing them out to linger upon the air and endow a flowing quality to his song.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I wonder if, now that she's been uh...sent down the Red Spiral that couldn't be fixed...
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I mean the Thirteen kinda owe the Rakash and Prydaen Gods.
Ollythander shrugs.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I say, confident in the two I follow, would likely be pretty amenable to helping if they could...
You say in a Rakash accent, We're going back West. We'll s-see what is left, and strengthen our c-connection to Our Gods, and Them to us. As soon as I... Hrrr. Get my h-head back on straight.
Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, If I can help when you do, let me know.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander exclaims in a polished accent, Doubt there's much I can offer but moral support, but I've got that in spades!
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
With gentle dexterity, Hondashi reprises the chorus of his enchante in a low tone, allowing the music to build, then fade.
You say in a Rakash accent, Anyways, the, uh... Actually meeting Enelne, it happened... a bit after. A week or so. I... I built a table, to set up a place to m-memorialize those caught in the Heralds spirals.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander leaps to his feet!
You say in a Rakash accent, I'd barely begun my s-speech when golden b-butterflies came. She told me I was H-Hers, and I was... In a field.
Ollythander smiles at you.
You say in a Rakash accent, She said....
You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.
Ollythander cocks his head.
You say in a Rakash accent, She s-said hat I... mocked Them. That I dared to c-call myself Their... equal.
Ollythander ponders.
(Nawain's shoulders hunch a tiny bit, and she sighs.)
Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.
You say in a Rakash accent, She... reminded me. That They alone l-love us. All of us. They protect us. They g-guard.
Ollythander cocks his head.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I don't like the verbage, but I think I understand the meaning.
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, The words are... important. And I won't f-forget them. Can't.
Ollythander nods to you.
You say in a Rakash accent, She said... Hmm.
(Nawain straightens, voice clearer, persistent stammer notably absent.)
Sukidesu gazes at you.
You say in a Rakash accent, Remember your place. Remember how We have watched over you, protected you and lent you Our grace. We are all, We are the true guardians, We are the true protectors, We nurture and We alone.
Ollythander ponders.
You say in a Rakash accent, We alone care for you, for all of you.
You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.
You say in a Rakash accent, I... groveled. As was appropriate.
You duck your head.
Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I could imagine.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Any of us would say we'd do something different, and we'd all be lying.
You nod.
You say in a Rakash accent, She.. Saw into me. Knew what I wanted to s-say, but... Wanted me to say it, anyways.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, For all my bravery, defiance, and general adherance to individualism and a more personal and healthy relationship with the Gods....they are still immense, important, and daunting.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Someone told me recently, they can see our deeds and actions, but not in our hearts....speaking our truths are still important to them.
You say in a Rakash accent, I'd argue that. They can s-see in our hearts.
(Nawain rubs at her chest idly, gaze distant.)
Ollythander ponders.
Sukidesu snuggles companionably beside you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I couldn't say for certain myself....I missed my chance to meet Glythtide and Albreda while I still live to ask them myself.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Maybe I'll have a tree moment of my own, Gods know my mouth will get me into trouble someday.
You grin at Ollythander.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
You say in a Rakash accent, Enelne showed me to the T-Tree. Said that I had... Struck a hard b-blow against those who would destroy the G-Gods. And told me there was more to be d-done.
(Nawain's voice drops to a near whisper, Always more to be done.)
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Always is.
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander falls over.
Sukidesu gives Ollythander a playful poke in the ribs.
You observe Ollythander with fascination.
Ollythander stretches every limb of his body from where he lies, ending with an expression of extreme contentment.
Sukidesu gazes at Ollythander and rubs his chin in compassionate contemplation.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, The Immortals, invaders, world ending crisis, even just the general populace....there's always something that needs doing.
You nod in agreement.
Sukidesu nods emphatically.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, And I always feel like there isnt' enough of me to go around....but I can't rush into the grave.
You nod at Ollythander, in complete agreement with his views.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, So I take it one crisis at a time, Heralds, to helping that one older lady get bread...I still am only me, so I try not to get overwhelmed.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, The other crisis will still be there when I'm done with the previous one.
You smile at Ollythander.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, I don't think you were trying to be their equal for the record. I think you were trying to help and while you may have over reached, it wasn't for ill intent.
Ollythander shrugs.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I'm no Enelne though.
You nod in agreement.
Sukidesu leans on you.
You say in a Rakash accent, I never once th-thought I was trying to be more than I was. Just n-needed the right tool for the job.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Thoughts a moment.
Sukidesu hums to himself.
You wear your warrior's mask, hiding your features from view.
You ask Sukidesu in a Rakash accent, Did I tell you about my... my memory books?
Sukidesu ponders.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, I think we discussed it...when I suggested the meditation. But you know, my memory is not so great right now either?
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
You chuckle.
You nod.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Back.
You say in a Rakash accent, Feels like it's w-working. Slowly. There's... it's getting less b-busy.
Sukidesu nods to you.
Sukidesu hugs you, and you wrap your arms around him with a warm smile.
You hug Sukidesu who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of fresh herbs clings to his skin.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
Ollythander sits up.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Memory books sound like a good idea.
You nod to Ollythander.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Definitely need to get on the ship and do some meditating around smells and stuff.
Sukidesu nods.
Ollythander nods.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Absolutely.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Anything else you've been doing help?
Ollythander smiles.
You ponder.
You say in a Rakash accent, Meditating. Being with many p-people.
Sukidesu gazes at you.
You ponder.
Ollythander nods to you.
Sukidesu gazes at you.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, At the same time, being with groups of people is dangerous... hence the entourage of Rosepaws here.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
Hondashi waves.
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Rosepaws.
Ollythander ponders.
Hondashi grins at Ollythander.
Hondashi gently says in a Siksrajan accent, Hondashi Rosepaw, at your service.
Hondashi winks at Ollythander.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Well, I recommend meeting around the Glythtide or Albreda Shrine...both have a calming affect on people.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, AND no necromancers can stand to be there for extended periods.
Ollythander bows to Hondashi.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, Is it foragable?
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Forgable?
Sukidesu shakes his head.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Forage.
Ollythander ponders.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Plants and junk.
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, Maybe?
Ollythander exclaims in a polished accent, I've never tried!
Sukidesu laughs!
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Someone here likes to do alchemy.
Sukidesu points at you.
You grin.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
Hondashi's ears wiggle with joy.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I'd imagine the Glythtide one is.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Should I be told you want to gather up before hand though, I can make any room a safe place.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, At least for a while.
You say in a Rakash accent, Oh.
You ask in a Rakash accent, How long?
You gaze at Ollythander.
Ollythander ponders.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, What ability is that, by the way?
Ollythander asks in a polished accent, About two anlas?
Ollythander says in a polished accent, If I'm really focused on keeping it going.
Ollythander says to Sukidesu in a polished accent, Banner of Truce.
Sukidesu nods to Ollythander.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Each cast lasts about thirty roisans.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, It has diminishing returns but I can get about four or five casts before I notice.
You say in a Rakash accent, I... Sir Davrion and I, we... we agreed on a date. For... For him to b-bring Cambin.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I've managed to hold my tongue with him for that reason.
You give a slight nod.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I pass him in the basement of the abbey.
You nod to Valmaria.
Valmaria grins at you.
Valmaria's ears flip forward, giving you a Rakash greeting.
Both your ears quickly flip forward, in the traditional Rakash greeting.
Valmaria notices your greeting.
Laureh notices your greeting.
Azume notices your greeting.
Hondashi notices your greeting.
You ask Ollythander in a Rakash accent, Does he, uh... Say anything to you?
Ollythander shakes his head.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, He wouldn't dare.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I don't believe he wants a confrontation with me anymore than I want one with him.
(Nawain observes Ollythander for a long moment.)
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, I wouldn't bet on that.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, It's not just about your situation.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I still haven't forgiven him for killing Saph.
You say in a Rakash accent, Saph, right? C-cambin has mentioned her.
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I'm SURE he did.
Ollythander says something in Olvi.
You say in a Rakash accent, I think he's more interested in a c-confrontation than you think.
You whisper to Ollythander, OOC: HAHAH
Sukidesu cocks his head.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I AM mouthy.
Ollythander shrugs.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, And I haven't been quiet about my opinion of him.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, NOR my curiosity why he's even allowed to enter town.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, He assaulted it twice.
Hondashi inhales sharply. Though there is no apparent physical change to him, he seems suddenly tranquil.
You ask in a Rakash accent, The town?
Ollythander nods.
You nod.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, What, Haven?
You say in a Rakash accent, I really don't understand that.... hobby.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Seems odd that you can burn the place down, then just kind of relax like you didn't.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Because he lacks conviction and hides behind the skirt of Dioe's opinions.
Ollythander inhales a great swallow of air.
You grimace.
Ollythander slowly empties his lungs.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Sorry.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, And yet I can't go up north because of something I did in Siksraja.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, That was inappropriate.
Sukidesu mumbles something under his breath.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, He brings out the worst in me, and I should be better about it.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Same.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
(Nawain grimaces under her mask and sighs.)
You say in a Rakash accent, He d-does seem to particularly d-dislike the both of you.
Ollythander ponders.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Because he knows we know the truth.
Sukidesu nods.
Sukidesu pats you on the back.
You quietly say in a Rakash accent, Because I listen to you.
You nod.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I have a paper from him...praising Saph and speaking of her Honor.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I keep all papers people send me about her.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, When he killed her, and crossed swords....I made sure to make him read it...his own words.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, "I did not do this privately...I let me irritation get the better of me."
Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, "He could very well be a good person, he just chooses not to be."
Ollythander says in a polished accent, "That's what bothers me."
Ollythander says in a polished accent, "He wasn't a bad person."
Ollythander says in a polished accent, "He's hurt, and lonely, and damaged."
Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, "Hanging out with a necromancer isn't helping any."
Ollythander says in a polished accent, "Inflicting those feelings on others, isn't the way."
Ollythander says to Nawain in a polished accent, "I don't think he's beyond redemption, but I don't think he wants to seek it."
Ollythander says to Nawain in a polished accent, "And for you, it's poison."
Sukidesu says in a Shardian accent, "A very bitter poison."
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, He and I will come to blows. I think that's unavoidable. I will do my best to not kill him. Despite everything, I don't want his blood. I want him to be better.
You nod to Ollythander.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, His first step for that though, is releasing you from whatever this all is.
You gaze at Ollythander.
(Nawain's eyes hold a world of uncertainty. But.. the lesson. Releasing me early is... isn't...)
You nibble on your lip.
Ollythander smiles at you.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Dear, I keep telling you, there is no lesson.
Ollythander shakes his head.
You slowly and deliberately empty your filled lungs.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, There is, just not the lesson he meant to teach.
Sukidesu cocks his head at you.
Ollythander calmly says to you in a polished accent, What lessons could a man without his own convictions teach someone who stood in front of her Gods. Who spoke to them. Who is their chosen Champion, by their words.
Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.
You gaze at Ollythander.
Ollythander smiles at you.
Sukidesu leans on you.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, If you want to be around him AFTER you have full control of your mind, that is your choice to make, but I want it to BE your choice.
Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Exactly.
(Nawain slowly snakes her arms around her middle, shoulders creeping upwards as she fights with herself, but she does give a single, quick nod.)
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Enelne's Champion Nawain, he has so much to learn from you...and it won't take some Words of power and some torture to teach it.
You glance at Ollythander, a male Halfling.
You quietly say in a Rakash accent, He does listen.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Then why does he need the Words.
You say in a Rakash accent, He doesn't. D-Dioe does.
Sukidesu gazes at you.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Yet he uses them.
You grimace.
Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.
You say in a Rakash accent, Yes.... He does.
You rub your neck.
Ollythander nods to you.
You mutter to yourself.
Sukidesu rubs you gently, massaging your sore muscles.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
Hondashi roots around the area for a moment.
Ollythander ponders.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, He can be better.
You nod in agreement.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, And you deserve better.
You say in a Rakash accent, I know he can.
You sigh.
Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, He has to want to though.
You say in a Rakash accent, Maybe I d-do.
You nod to Sukidesu.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Until he does, he's Cambin...he can EARN Vrali status.
Ollythander fixes you with an incredulous stare.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Nawain, you definitely deserve better. No maybe about it.
You nod to Ollythander.
You say in a Rakash accent, If... if he wants to.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, As an orphan, I know more than a lot that we choose our families...but they still have to earn it. Every day.
You gaze at Ollythander.
You nod in agreement.
Sukidesu nods at Ollythander, obviously agreeing with his views.
Ollythander adjusts his half plate into place.
Sukidesu reassuringly asks in a Shardian accent, Did I ever tell you Nawain, why Hondashi is my brother?
Hondashi leans on Sukidesu.
You shake your head at Sukidesu.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Well...we're both around the same age...my father was part of a group of Kaldars who were... well migrating, just like the Rakash and Prydaen but for a different reason. He ended up going in a different direction and met up with Hondashi and Teavira's group. We were extremely young.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Seems weird to think about now.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
You chuckle.
Ollythander shows Sukidesu his lance.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, At first, Hondashi and I couldn't speak to each other, having different languages and not nearly enough Common.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
You nod to Sukidesu.
Hondashi grins at Sukidesu.
Ollythander puts his lance in his axe harness.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, We basically renamed each other. I'll have to tell that story sometime.
Sukidesu grins crookedly.
Ollythander grins.
You grin.
Hondashi gently says in a Siksrajan accent, I don't even remember what my name used to be.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, I've got to get back to patrols and training....
Sukidesu nods to Ollythander.
Ollythander grins at Hondashi.
You hug Ollythander who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of apples clings to his skin.
Sukidesu hugs Ollythander, who wraps his arms around Sukidesu with a warm smile.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, On my Honor, my Soul, and my Peace and Joy....I will never seek to learn those Words, and should they fall into my ears, I will never intentionally use them on you.
You gaze at Ollythander.
You nod to Ollythander.
Sukidesu pulls you to him in a tight hug.
Ollythander stands up.
Ollythander places a hand on his chest and bows his head to you.
You say to Ollythander in a Rakash accent, Thank you.
You hug Sukidesu who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of fresh herbs clings to his skin.
Ollythander nods to you.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, And if he were half the man I am, he would do the same.
You wince.
You give a slight nod.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, We were guildmates, I hold him to a higher standard.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Everyone please enjoy the rest of your night.
Ollythander bows.
You say to Ollythander in a Rakash accent, He can be g-good again.
You nod.
Ollythander nods to you.
Sukidesu nods to Ollythander.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, I may have to knock some holes in him to get to the good parts...
You chuckle.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, But I don't think he's past redemption.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, Even if he riles a fury in me I've never felt before.
Ollythander shrugs.
You nod in agreement.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, I relate.
Sukidesu nods to Ollythander.
Ollythander says to you in a polished accent, Part of my Code is to leave things better than I find it, and he TESTS that in me.
Ollythander stretches his arms.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, But that's a me problem.
Sukidesu grins at Ollythander, his dimples flashing into view.
Ollythander says in a polished accent, You all enjoy your evening. Glythtide bless.
Sukidesu snaps to attention and hails Ollythander with a crisp hand salute.
You say in a Rakash accent, Enelne bless.
You smile.
Ollythander smiles.
Ollythander raises his hand in a quick salute.
Radiant Aegis Ollythander strolls southwest.
Sukidesu glances up at the sky.
Sukidesu leans on you.
You say in a Rakash accent, I don't th-think I've seen him so... upset.
Sukidesu nods to you.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Cambin has that affect on ...both of us, really.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, Effect.
Sukidesu coughs.
You nod in agreement.
(Sukidesu wraps his arms around Nawain's shoulders as he hugs her.)
You hug Sukidesu who wraps his arms around you with a warm smile. A faint scent of fresh herbs clings to his skin.
Sukidesu smiles at you, revealing the dimples in his cheeks.
Sukidesu reassuringly says in a Shardian accent, No Zehira tonight. Small miracles.
Sukidesu grins, revealing his dimples.
You say in a Rakash accent, Thank goodness.
