"I'm sorry, but I need that money before me or my men do anything," Magnus says, trying to keep Hjörr from grabbing some candy.
After Celia leaves, Ylrhea exchanges a glance with Sadhana. "Having lunch, eh? Guess I was wrong."
Gwen takes her mother by the hand. "We'll meet you at the stables, whenever you're ready."
"Eager?" Sienna asks her daughter.
Gwen nods.
Sienna shrugs at Ylrhea and the magus. "We'll see you in a few."
She then walks with her daughter to the stables.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Magestreia asks Sadhana.
"Heh, great journeys can start with a simple step." the magus says with a grin.
Ylrhea chuckles. "Are they ready for that journey, though?"
"Only time will tell. You know as well as I do how unpredictable life can be my love." Sadhana says with a smile. "As long as they're both aware and open with each other......and especially with themselves....that would save a lot of anguish." she says with a wry chuckle thinking back.
"Do you want me to come with you?" Magestreia asks Sadhana.
"Yes, unless there was something else you wanted to do. The more familiar you are with Valwick and everyone working to keep it safe, the easier it'll be to find your place and feel like you belong." Sādhanā replies.
"Ooh, that's what I'm afraid of," Ylrhea says.

"I don't know, I have a feeling they'll figure it out if it's to be." the magus says, giving Ylrhea a loving smile. "You really are incredible, you know that?"

"I am?"

"Yes you are, and it's just one of the many reasons I love you." the magus says smiling as they head out of the common house.
"Fair point," Magestreia says, standing up and following the couple out of the Common House.
Ammon was still outside of the Common House, waiting for his former student to come out.
"Fair enough, I'll go talk to him and secure the funds. I'll hand it to you personally. Where should we meet?"
"Meet me at the park," Magnus says. "Hjörr wants to play for a while."
Clara walks into Hadrinn's, brushing past Arista and Cyna. "Oh, hey."
"Good morning." Cyna says with a wave.
"Morning. What brings you two here?" Clara asks. "I just ask because I usually don't see just the two of you together."
"Well...we were just wondering if you'd seen Tesia and Rhadaya anywhere? We needed to ask them about something....but we're having a hard time finding them for some reason." She says as she tries to think where they might possibly be.
Clara shakes her head. "I haven't seen them."
Arista isn't sure where Tesia and Rhadaya could have gone.
She kind of shakes her head and sighs as she twirls a piece of her hair around a finger, "Okay...it's alright. I'm sure we'll eventually run into them. It's just...I was supposed to get back to Jelks after she finished her last class and that was about....forty minutes ago or so...and she said it would be an hour...so I've got roughly twenty minutes to find them and explain stuff and...." She stops herself to take a few breaths and tries to slow down. After a few seconds of breathing she says, "Sorry Clara...I just need to find them. If you see them could you please let them know that we're looking for them? I guess we'll just look...." She looks over at Cyna with an expression of uncertainty, "Do you have any ideas Cyna?" She asks as she starts to sound a little frustrated at herself for not being able to find their friends.
Once they pick out about half a dozen of delicious treats and she gives Yulia the money she thanks her and walks with her love back out into the snow. Taking a deep breath she wraps one arm about her love's waist as she holds onto their box of goodies with the other.
Clara nods as she goes to find a table for her and Celia.
Sienna walks up to Tesia and Rhadaya. "There you are."
Rahdaya breathes in the fresh chill air as they head outside,leaning her head against Tes as they happily stroll through the snowy streets.
Gwen looks at Rhadaya, then turns to her mother. "She seems to be in a daze."
"What, oh Hi, sorry Gwen, Sienna.... I guess we were just a little caught up." Rhadaya says with a chuckle."You were looking for us?"
"Yes, Arista was looking for you, plus we have trouble," Sienna says.
Celia makes it to Hadrinn's, waving to Arista and Cyna who are leaving as she enters.
"Trouble... what's going on?" the sorceress asks holding her wife's hand with a frown. She should have know the day was too perfect so far.
"Just some cultists," Sienna says. "According to Alethiro."
Clara beckons Celia from a table in the back.
She kind of nods as she listens to Sienna. Holding up their box of goodies she asks, "Would it be alright if we just dropped this off at home first?"
Sienna shrugs. "Fine by me. Maybe we'll run into some of the others."
She nods, "Okay, that sounds good. It won't take us long to just put this up and grab our gear anyways. Not like we packed it away or anything." She says with a slight chuckle. Pointing in the direction they were headed she says, "We just live down this way a bit, past the tailor shop. Esia left us her old place when she and my father moved to Lysse and got married." She says as she starts heading back home with the others.
Sienna, Tesia and the others encounter Sadhana, Ylrhea and Magestreia just as Arista and Cyna make their way back from Hadrinn's.

"Wow, that was easy," Sienna says.
She looks around as everyone seems to converge at the same point, "Okay...well now I get the feeling that something else is going on besides what I needed to talk to you about." She says while looking over at Tesia and Rhadaya. Looking around for a moment she notices that there is someone that she hadn't met before with Sadhana and Ylrhea. Trying not to look as tired as she felt she gives them a smile, "I'm sorry, things have been a little more than hectic this morning, but I don't think we've met? So...did you come back with them from the caves?" She asks as she tries to piece together who this new acquaintance could be.
"I will meet you there," Alethiro responded.
The Elf turned and headed back to the Fort, more specifically Lovecraft's office. He knocked.
Smiling Celia makes her way over to the table and sits across for Clara. "Hope you weren't waiting too long."
"Arista, this is Magestreia, she's going to be helping us keep protect the town and aid in our fight. Magestreia I'd lie you to meet Arista, another member of our little family and quite the warrior." Sadhana says with a smile. "Yeah looks like there's a lot going on today."
Rhadaya grins to herself once again noting the bizarre serendipity that affected them.
She kind of sighs, "Okay....nice to meet you. Sorry...it just seems every day around here there's another catastrophe. I was trying to find Tesia to see about going to Priroda with Jelks to build the folks out there some houses....and I'm supposed to meet Jelks now in about twenty minutes.....but....what else is going on? I know Cyna nd Sienna needed to talk to Tesia about trying to get to Lysse before their wedding....sooo....what is the situation this time? I assume there's something going on somewhere or we wouldn't all be looking for each other." She says in between taking breaths.
Tesia kind of shakes her head before chuckling a bit, "Whoa there Arista, just slow down a bit. Take some breaths. Of course I'll give you and Jelks a lift to Priroda. It won't take me that long to get there....but I need to help get an overview of the town to find some cultists that seem to be hiding out here first okay?"
