"He is better. I think yes." Fiona replies unsure what to make of this new situation.
Jimmy shakes Abstalar's hand and while they wait for Fiona and Gwen he asks the father how things have been and makes general polite conversation
"Yay." Gwenhwyfar grabs her mum's hand and drags her out of the
infirmary. "I got my mum. We can go to the Rusty Dragon and talk over a good meal." she says to Jimmy.
"No worries, I fixed that guy." she says to Abstalar.
"Hello Ma'am." Jimmy says nodding to her, and then excusing himself with Abstalar he follows Gwen
Abstalar looks at Fiona for confirmation. "I'll check on that farmer and you have fun then I guess."
Gwenhwyfar drags Jimmy and her mum out of the temple and through town to the Rusty Dragon. They look for a nice table in the corner and order something to drink.
"Did something happen in Sandpoint while we were away?" Gwenhwyfar asks.
"Nothing out of the ordinary." Fiona replies. "But tell me Jimmy..." she says turning to Jimmy "has my little girl be careful to stay out of trouble and dangers? And did she stay away from company that spoils the character?"
"Uhhhh." Jimmy says trying to think quickly about what has happened
"Gwen hasn't been in any significant danger, really." Jimmy says, as he thinks about it, he can't really recall any times she was even close to being attacked
"We are building an orphanage in Magnimar." Jimmy changes topic
"Mum!" Gwenhwyfar protests.
"That is good to hear. An orphanage you say? That sounds like my sweet little Gwenhwyfar. Always seeking to help others." Fiona replies. "But isn't that expensive?"
"It is indeed. And after we had to spend almost 25.000 gold to get Jimmy back into his own body we are a little short on money at the moment." Gwenhwyfar explains.
"You are kidding me." Fiona says looking her daughter into the eyes.
"No, I'm not. Look into his eyes. The color of his eyes is still not the right color." Gwenhwyfar replies.
"Tell me that she is kidding me. How should one lose his body?" Fiona requests from Jimmy looking into his eyes.
"It is a long story." Jimmy says, hoping that will pacify Fiona
"Well, Jimmy got killed by a trap and woke up in a clone body of Runelord Sorshen. Sorshen was the Runelord of Lust. You should have seen Jimmy. He had bigger boobs than you have." she cheekily says but can't do so without blushing.
"I'm not going to be the only one who gets embarrassed here." she thinks.
"What it means is that now I am Azlanti." Jimmy says
"She is not kidding? You got killed, raised as a woman and blew 25.000 gold to get that fixed?" Fiona asks aghast. "And you dare to tell me Gwenhwyar wasn't in danger? Did she stay at home while you did all of that? I think you're not telling me the truth!" Fiona inquires.
"She was there, but I went first so that your daughter wouldn't be in danger. I don't think that the entire time we have been gone a single thing has done her any harm." Jimmy says backpedaling
"I was always safe three steps behind Jimmy." Gwenhwyfar replies looking as innocent as if she couldn't harm a fly.
"Also I'm a renown Pathfinder. I know what I do."
"Where is my sweet little innocent girl that was afraid to go out of the house alone?" Fiona asks taking Gwenhwyfar's face between her hands.
"I still don't go anywhere alone. I always take Jimmy with me." Gwenhwyfar jokes.
"You run around and simply heal that farmer like it's nothing where I would have to tend to him for days. You're not a little girl any more. Your abilities rival those of Abstalar Zantus." Fiona tells.
"I can do even cooler stuff now. Guess how we came here?" Gwenhwyfar boasts.
"How should I know! You rode a sparkling unicorn over the rainbow?" Fiona asks.
"No. I'm doing that next time." Gwenhwyfar replies giving her mom the 'I can fool myself thank you' look. "I simply spoke the magic words in our house in Magnimar and we appeared directly in our bedroom here in Sandpoint."
Fiona gasps. "I my bedroom? What if I were there and not decent?" She gives Jimmy a glare.
"I didn't know what was happening till we got here." Jimmy replies
"Pfft. I lived with you for how many years? I've never seen you naked in your bedroom in this time."
"Now that I think about it, your undergarments may as well be glued to you. I wouldn't have noticed the difference. Gwenhwyfar replies sticking her tongue out at her mum.
"You sassy child. Don't you dare to appear out of nowhere in my bedroom again." Fiona scolds her. "And stop talking about my undergarments."
"Alright. Then I'll appear in the middle of the temple next time. That's just as good for a familiar place."
"Does that mean I'm also not allowed to do magical scrying on your bedroom anymore?" Gwenhwyfar teases her mum.
Fiona's jaw drops "When did you become so... so, I have no words. Is that you she got that insolent behaviour from?" she asks Jimmy.
"One more word and you are grounded. For two weeks." she tells Gwenhwyfar.
"That would really be a frustrating experience. For you I mean. To find me behind you after you locked me in."
Gwenhwyfar gives her mum a hug. "I'm only joking. I can't do scrying. Yet. You know I love you."
"I know. I love you too. But I'm going to ask Abstalar Zantus if he can ward my house against intrusion from sassy daughters." Fiona replies.
"I may give her some cheek now and then, but this is all her own." Jimmy says with an innocent smile
"You have nothing to complain about. Other parents have sassy kids through the whole teen years." Gwenhwyfar jokes.
Over a tasty meal Gwenhwyfar tells her mum all that has happened in the time she was away. How they found the first shard in the Crow by beating a gang led by were rats. How they fought devils and ended a threat to the city by removing the derros and found the second shard there. ow they saved the children from the Creepers and placed an orphanage in the old temple of Sarenrae.
How they travelled to the Lady's Light and fought a Hydra there. About the boggards and the troglodytes, the glass golem and the Gray Maidens and finally how they found the runelord of lust and how Jimmy ended her in a single blow.
And finally she tells about how they plan to build a new Orphanage and get the temple consecrated again and staffed to be operating again. "How about you come and be our head cleric for the temple?" Gwenhwyfar asks her mum.
Fiona is scared by all the horror stories and the dozens of dead people. But she takes delight in the caring for the orphans. But about the temple she replies "Are you crazy? I can't be the head cleric for a temple! I'm no cleric at all."
"It's a shame. I don't know where to get one." Gwenhwyfar replies.
As she suddenly feel no connection to Gwenhwyfar anymore Destinée uses her commune ability to find out where Gwenhwyfar went. Letting out a long sigh she starts flying the long way to Sandpoint. After five hours straight flight she feels the presence of Gwenhwyfar again and closes in on the position.
As suddenly a happy feeling comes to her mind Gwenhwyfar facepalms herself. "How could I forget her?" she says completely out of context.
"Forget who?" Fiona asks.
A black cat with a white blaze and purple eyes flies over the saloon doors into the Rusty Dragon and lands on the table where Jimmy, Fiona and Gwenhwyfar sit. Walking to Gwenhwyfar she strokes along her arms and purrs. Then she complains "It's not nice to disappear without saying a word."
Fiona's eyes grow wide and her jaw drops.
"What? Your thrush flies and speaks too." Gwenhwyfar replies.
__________________________Meanwhile________________________________________ ______
After two hours of playing with Sam Niamh wishes him and Leruu her farewells and leaves the Captains Club and Dockway, not without admiring the view on the sea that she has from where she is. Through Naos she walks back to the guest house.
As she finds nobody there she packs everything out of her backpack and all her money into it in purpose of buying herself a sack of holding. She clatters her way along to the Meeting House. "Wumbroud Brios?" The halfling looks through the open door. "It's me again. Do you know where I can buy something ... like a back of holding?"
"How about 'Everything Magic' in Lowcleft? It's a small shop led by a green haired gnome. But I was never there myself. You would have to ask for the way in Lowcleft." Wumbrout Brios replies.
"Thank you. I guess I'll find the way." Niamh replies straightfaced even when she could facepalm herself for not thinking about Lini's shop. "Bye then." She walks the way to Lini's shop and enters it. "Hello?"
Lini is busy at her workbench. As her entrance bell chimes a short melody she turns around. "Oh, hello Niamh."
Niamh smiles. "Do you have a back of holding? Can I help you with anything?"
"What for?" Lini asks. She pulls a sack larger than Niamh and herself out of a shelf. "Wanna crawl in to see if it's big enough?"
