"Very good, very good Betty." Suzume said absent mindedly at the hawk, scratching at his head. "
Gogrin moved closer to Telula, coming up behind her and tickling her neck with his beard as he laughed I could hold it for you, if you'd like then?
After giving her a kiss on the cheek, he returned to his own book, the one on the Llieldasine that Telula had been reading yesterday These Llieldasine are no joke- it appears they are able to form to every environment imaginable. I just can't find anything quite yet on where they'd be in a place as large and vast and cold as Terra Nix.
The Saber Cat raised a clawed out paw and reared back lips in a small roar after Vasu in its irritation. It was clear the Saber Cat was not going to give up the deer without a fight.
The Warden grinned at Lady Lynyna's cover Am I... Boring? Do you know who you are talking to? I am the Warden of 42- I own the prison- perhaps you've heard of it?
No?
The Warden pressed up against Rosa, obvious and clear that he was interested in impressing her without a doubt Would you like me to show you something that isn't... boring?
As Suzume smiled to himself at the sound of Benny/ Betty doing push ups in the cold snow with his bare hands, Rita sighed heavily as she stared at the now useless top half of a somewhat "ok" katana in her hand
Oi, you're craft takes a lot of skill. Nah, it ain't even skill! It's time! You gotta roll it, gently tap it, fold it, heat it, cool it, heat it, fold it- your smiths musta taken years to come up with this! It's simply brilliant, ain't it boys?
The others nodded in agreement while the one Suzume knew as "Julian" approached him with a bright eyed look as Benny continued his push ups- Suzume could have sworn he heard his body hit the snow after fifteen was yelled out loud So- when do we get to fight again?
His voice was deeper than most other humans, and he looked more than willing to suffer Suzume's punishment at the hands of his sheathed blade once more.
She looks at him still with a board look but a little less so.
"Prison that don't sound interesting to me, sounds like a wet cold place full of more boring drunks."
Then like a thought just hit her.
"Hay you got any real mean criminals there, you know like cold dead killers and such or you know that witch mother everyone's been talking about, they say she is like real evil, killed her own followers and stuff. They where talking about it down the market. She sounds a real nut case."
Now she seems interested with that thought
”Elyse, you are doing your people a disservice by not acknowledging their presence or even seeing what is bothering them. You are too detached from your people. As a Mother, or even a Consort, you must know who your people are. Pull your head out of the clouds and face the facts around you. Your people are as important as your animals.”
As the man spoke to her, Sealith nodded her head in acknowledgement. ”I am looking for tools to skin and part a carcass out. This is for a companion who is hunting out of the walls. She has none.”
’I do use my claws. These are not for me. I won’t give up on someone just because they are as hard headed as a Samuraian.’
Idly she wondered if the Note made it to Suzume.
Feeling his arms around her, Telula cheeks flushed again. It felt so right to her and she didn't know how to respond, but she didn't want it to end all that quickly either.
The Majar's cheeks grew brighter after he kissed her, but it also gave her a little focus, "No, no, I think I can handle it Gogrin."
As the Dwarf returned to the book she was reading yesterday, she managed to get the book to the couch, open it, and started reading. At Gogrin's comment, she looked up and responded, "I concur, it's going to take a lot to even begin to discern a location."
Turning back to the Bardic Tome, she added, "My, there's a lot spells at Mathias' disposal aren't there?"
The Warden sat down across from Rosa with a grin as he made a wave for a few drinks There may be- but first, you tell me more about yourself, Miss-? Warden Franklin looked up and down the girl You seem to have quite a... sinister aura about you. I like that. Not like these other idiots here in the North East.
Failing a bluff won't blow your cover, based on your age etc. and the level of sense motive, he'll find it cute and dismissive.
The Mother, slightly offended, scoffed at Sealith I sacrificed nearly every day of my life to feed them and keep them warm- in that way I was their Mother, and they in the womb. Now that they are born... Now that the womb is broken...
Interacting with them in a specific way is going to take time, Sealith. And based on the Angel-Oak nearly killing me, along with Matthias, I think I've earned some time with my babies, isn't that right? Yesh it is! The Mother ended her sentence going back to kissing at Chelya and Binsk.
Kareem allowed The Mother to finish before ignoring it completely and hauling out a large backpack that had Hunter's Choice engraved in it in neat letters. He pulled from it an animal call whistle, a series of chains and meat hooks, and a large pack of an assortment of knives that he whistled at as he rolled them out They are durable enough to cut into the hide of a buffalo, but precise and thin enough to only remove the skin and preserve the meat! Do you know what type of animal your friend prefers?
Gogrin sighed as he tossed a seed in the air, laughing to himself as Archimedes caught it. Myrrdin turned its head in seeming jealousy at the act before clacking its claws back to Telula Unfortunately, yes. And he is definitely aware of his power. I have heard tales that he even ran into the Frost Giant King, and did not lose. You are not aware of him, but... The Frost Giant King is not to be trifled with. Archimedes is constantly telling me a storm is coming- I hope that it has nothing to do with him.
Telula looked up at Myrddin, a thought occurred to her. "Do you happen to have any preserved meats available?"

"Me, my name is Lilly Word, I'm impotent me, you must of heard of the Words. I'm here running trade negotiations. Cuz my family's got sheep, lot and lots of sheep and servants and a big manner house in the village. Granddad took over a lot of others forms, he says he owns the whole village. He says we'er noble farmers now."
Sealith turned back to Kareem as he rolled out the tools. Looking them over with a critical eye she would look back to him.
"What ever game that can be found outside these walls. I do not know what that could be. Most likely it would be game she could drag. Like deer and such." She made sure not to touch the fine tools.

Suzume scratched at his head, raising his eyebrows as he realizes something was in his feathers. "I should really get a trim." He unrolled the scroll and began reading.
"Aye, swordsmithing is a great point of pride in my continent, not just among my people. These things are expensive, too. Ya realize how long I had to milk yaks for that sword there?"
He saw the man coming, and heard Bennie fall into the snow. "Persistance Barny, persistance!"
He turned to Julian. "Right now if ya want, as long as yer ready."
Gogrin scratched his chin Preserved meats.... preserved meats... Let me check the kitchen.
Gogrin rose and left for the kitchen leaving Telula to the sound of turning pages and thrown open cabinets. Gogrin returned about ten minutes later holding several diced up pieces of salted meats- based on the coloration it was deer.
Gogrin handed the plate of meats to Telula with a smile A treat for him? Careful- Archimedes will get jealous! Ha ha!
The Warden gave a dark and mysterious chuckle You're a silly girl, aren't you? That's alright- it takes a lot to lie to someone who will soon be the most powerful in 42. I like that- The Warden leans in for a whisper You've got more stones than most in here. But don't worry- the prison will be far from boring, my dear Lilly.
A noble farmer, ha! You'll have to get better at your stories, Lilly. But for now, I must leave. Please- meet me here again tomorrow night. I will show you something that I think you will like....
The Warden is clearly referencing more than just quick wit sexual innuendos of what he believes to be his new chew toy- it appears he is going to make a move for more power in 42 in a dastardly and dark way.
The Warden bid the group a goodnight, much to their dismay and "aw" of the entire bar, before making his way back out to the dark town and, presumably, to the Prison of 42.
Kareem nodded Well, these will take care of a vast majority of things outside the walls, but I'll ensure this kit is perfect for the deer out there- it's a good game and can make some fine gold inside the walls on such hides. I used to have a hut out there all to myself, you know? Well, until Gogrin, er, I mean, the Father, funded my business to be fully inside the walls! Now, it'll be 25 GP for this kit, then. Course you can always buy the deluxe for 35 ha ha!
Suzume read over the note to see that it was a message from Sealith, but signed by the Mother requesting his attendance at the broken section of the Eastern Wall.
As suzume tucked the note away, Julian nodded as he took out a dueling sword I'll try not to hit you. He said in a way that exuded over confidence in his abilities.
Telula smiled, "He seems happy now. Alright then, back to reading." Looking back down at the pages, the Arcanist absentmindedly hummed as she read.
Looking over each very carefully she would point to the deluxe. "You say 35, is it possible we can go down to 30 gold. You see I only have small trade bars and they aren't the easiest to cut in half."

Still annoyed with the idea of the confrontation turning violent, Vasu decided upon her next best idea: demoralizing the beast. Carefully, she splayed her feathers as she hovered above the cat, narrowed her great yellow eyes into the smallest of slits, and opened her beak. From it escaped an ear-splitting screech.
When the cat responded with a fearsome roar nigh overpowering her own, Vasu nearly yeeped and drew her rapier. There really was no other choice at this point. With another half-hearted screech, Vasu dived for the saber-toothed cat, rapier fully extended.
There was a multitude of silence followed by Myrrdin and Archimedes squabbling playfully over the remaining pieces of preserved meat. Maxwell arrived with a replenish of supplies, staying quite as he set them on the study room's desk and dismissed himself in peace.
As soon as he closed the door Gogrin stood to his feet, clapped the book closed, and kissed Telula unannounced right on the lips before moving to her neck and back up again- he was excited beyond belief.
My beautiful wonder- we know where the Llieldasine are! Or rather, I know who knows where they are! Come! We must send off our birds to let the others know for sure, and then we must be off immediately!
Gogrin grabbed all the supplies Maxwell had just brought and gave Telula yet another kiss as he threw open the study room doors We must prepare- rations, armor, kits- my dear Telula... WE are going to see the Frozen Giant King of Terra Nix, in Novo Terra!
Julian was knocked back to the ground in such a way that he nearly rammed his head into an anvil behind him. Rita broke out in laughter, cursing as she quickly cooled the blade again- most likely so she didn't break it once more.
For several hours Suzume and the others continued taking turns at sparring, practicing the build of Suzume's blade, and, from what it felt like- growing. It would appear either blacksmiths made good students, or Suzume was an excellent and skilled teacher- perhaps even both.
Trade... bars? Ah! Aha! A joke! A funny joke then! Well... Alright. I suppose, but! Don't let the word get out that I'm a softie on the price, right? I'll go out of business and never be able to pay Gogrin back!
The Mother giggled Oh Kareem I'd never let you go out of business! You were funded for a reason!
Kareem packed the entire kit into a nice rosewood box and put it back into it's backpack that he then passed on to Sealith I hope your friend enjoys the kit! I know I did when I was outside these walls. Never a dull moment, that's for sure!
The overgrown cat gave one final hiss before fleeing the scene of the animal in a scattered pattern- it was most likely not going to be making its way to Vasu again anytime soon.

"This is truly excelent progress in such a short span of time. I must congratulate you, but alas, I also must leave you for the night. I have a meeting with someone." He glances at the crumpled up note in his pocket.
"Remember the drills I instructed, and try to get in twenty push ups before and after bedtime, after each of them, drink milk, it's rich in protein." He droned on, picking up his blade. "Farewell for now. Might see ya in the pub later."
"Not a word will be spoken." The seriousness she said with it told him she meant it. Reaching into a sack that looked to be made out of some creatures hide she delicately plucked the small trade bars out of the sack and tossed them to Kareem with a speed that was surprising. The exact amount in gold landing in his hands as he caught them.
"Is it possible to get this delivered to Vasu right now? Since we are going to head to the healers?"
Suzume made his way to the South-Eastern quadrant as the sun began to rise high up into the air, and then slowly fall, just ticking past noon.
As you approached the broken wall with a whistle, a red haired man you'd recently heard called out to as "McAllistar" ran up to you as he held his folded cap over to his head, the cold wind blowing around his red hair in several directions Woah woah woah woah! Hey, mister! Woah- you're uh, not from around here, are you? What are you doing so close to the wall???
Kareem folded his arms with a long exhale So, you negotiate a bargain, then ask for delivery service after, eh? You brought me quite a scrupulous one, Mother!
The Mother tucked her arms together with a gentle wiggle of her body as she batted her eyes jokingly at Kareem Oh PLEASE Kareem? The one you are delivering it too has a certain... disposition problem. We are hoping this helps!
Kareem sighed with a laugh You ladies will be the death of my business, I swear! Alright, name, location, and how to find this friend of yours and I'll be on my way right away. I've got my horse around nearby for days I wanna take my cart farther north or south anyways. AND, well, ha ha, this IS the biggest deal I've had in weeks Miss Sealith.
After informing Kareem of Vasu's description, name, and appearance, Sealith and Elyse finally made their way just a few hours more to find a multi-colored smoke emitting hut that had the High Priest and clerics written all over it.
From the appearance of it, it was a small healing outfit. Several people inside were clearly sick, weezing, and some injured from one craft or another. Deeper into the room of moaning and napping sickly and elderly could be seen the High Priest of the Angel Oak himself observing a nasty flesh would that appeared to be some sort of burn on an older man Ah, yes, yes smithing can indeed be a dangerous trade, sir. B-b-but no need to worry, I've been healing for quite some time! Ah, yes.
After casting a quick spell on the area, the High Priest turned to see Elyse and Sealith Ah! The Slayer and the Mother return! I-I heard of your embarrassing Warden Franklin just yesterday, was it? Oh yes. Quite a show. What can I aid you with, then, if I may ask?
Sealith nodded to Kareem and would inform him.
Once at the healers she looked around at the work and would focus on the High Priest after he addressed them.
"Greetings, we came to ask for help on the wall. Specifically, to heal the Angel Oak's roots that were eaten by acid and is slowly helping kill the tree. We will need the help of more healers than just ourselves."
She looked a bit down cast he had seen past her lies
The perked up as he talked of bigger things.
She says nothing but looks around then nods once at him.
she looks to the world like a girl on the make with a powerful man who could offer her just wants she wants. A better life.
she waits till hes gone then makes her way back to her digs.
Tapping her shoulder, Myrddin flew down and landed there. "My, you're a clever one aren't you." Telula said as she reached for the last scrap of meat and gave it to him.
The High Priest of the Angel Oak nodded Ah, y-yes, yes of course! I am- the High Priest began to slowly walk back towards the exit of the clinic, pointing to a few healers that were near the entrance I am sorry about... the council, Mother. Truly a tragedy, truly. I am very glad to see you out and about again!
The Mother nodded solemnly Sealith and I have been talking- I was wondering if there were any other people whose confidence in Gogrin and I waivered? I'm not in control of the Angel-Oak anymore.... Times are changing, hardships are already being felt without its magic- perhaps there is a way I could make them all.... feel better? Become more... in touch?
The High Priest continued his nod as he waved over three healers, a man and two women, who had been giggling only moments before Yes yes, Mother Elyse, but, one-one step at a... time. Ah. Here they are- this one is Maxine, he is Gregory, and this final beauty of a lilly is Regina. She w-was training with Alexis, but-
Regina cut in, twirling her curly brown hair on a finger as she bit her lip in embarrassment at being called out He, the, he he, the Paladin's life was not for me. But it's divine magic, so beautiful. I absolutely love healing things! Ah, makes me tear up with joy every time!
The High Priest gave a nod and a tired smile Yes, well, I must really return to my duties. These three are yours, no trouble Mother Elyse, Sealith. Mother- The High Priest put his hands on Elyse's shoulder in a seemingly fatherly / lovingly way I have known you all your life, Elyse. If you thought what you did was the right way to go about things, then it most likely was. Do not worry yourself- one step here, another two there, and the people will warm up to you. Ha ha, especially with Sealith here at your side. She seems the honorable type.
With that, the High Priest of the Angel-Oak returned to his burn victim, and the three Clerics followed Sealith and Elyse back to the Eastern Wall.
It was there that-
Sealith saw Trish getting bothered with Suzume- he had come and it looked like he brought four smiths with him as well.
Trish, a chubby, black haired, green eyed fire ball of a woman was yelling one one of Suzume's women who appeared just as firey Oi! You can't be near the wall without proper clearance, bird man! And you! I don't care what your name is, "Rita", it doesn't clear! What are you, anyways? A maid?
Rita took out a hammer to swing at Trish, but Suzume stopped her as she yelled back Oi I'll be crossin' this hammer right bout ya skull like I make my metal sing, ya! Come on boys! This is what we were trained for, innit! Get her!
It was then that Suzume turned to see Sealith with an awkward look about him of ".....Hi?" as he attempted to keep the two hot heads from killing one another.
As Vasu trudged about the city looking for a butcher, an older man came running up to her in a much too comfortable fashion yelling in Common-
Vasu! VASU! Wait, wait!
As Vasu prepared to gut the worthless worm for all he was, he quickly opened a case and wrapping that revealed knives and tracking devices for deer and the like H-here! Here!
The man set it on the ground before Vasu before bowing out and running away, much to the amusement of several others who were watching Vasu carry a large deer as another form of entertainment.
Based on the look of it, it appeared Vasu would indeed have her buthery tools needed and all accounted for before her.
Gogrin nodded Ah, yes, of course. I got... a little excited there, didn't I? I apologize. I haven't had need of an expedition in so long! Alright, we will leave after the feast. We must tell the others, and I will have to tell Aram.
He is the only one I trust to keep this city in order as Warden Franklin goes about throwing fits over "outsiders" this and "outsiders" that. Would you care to help me in writing the letters to our friends, then?
As Gogrin spoke he got closer and closer to Telula with a laugh with a look of intimacy that did not match what he was saying- it was clear that Telula made him feel just about as loopy and light on the feet as he made her feel as well.
Upon the next morning, Old Rosa woke up to the sound of the market just outside the inn and at the knocking of Ethan on her door Miss Rosa! Miss Rosa! If you have furs to trade, now would most likely be the time to rise and sell them! The market is extraordinarily busy today!
Sealith looked at the fight as it started and took a deep breath and roared.
"ENOUGH! You two shut up right this instant and sit down."
Walking up she eyed both with an intimidating glare that would make them feel like young children.
"McAllistar, this is Suzume and the first of his recruits I would take it. He has been tasked by the council to train people to be the warriors of this city. I asked them here because the troops are going to need strength and endurance training. Also, you will need able bodies to move things. Part of a soldier's job is to the know their cities defenses is it not Suzume?" She turned to look at Suzume. Looking to see if he got upset with her stepping in.
Carefully, Vasu cut off the deer's head and set to work.
She dresses as Lilly, and gos to the door, opening it, she says to Ethan.
"Mums all-ready out Ethan, she was up early see, she ant-back till tomorrow. Come in a moment Ethan I need to ask-s ya something."
She closes the door, checking the hall well, then when hes in points to the bed, now in a stern voice she says.
"Sit Ethan, I need to get this to you know who"
She hands him the letter.
"Also I need some eyes to tack me tonight."
Made contact with subject. Subject possible has action plan, Most likely a move on power. when and where unknown. know more tonight. Have action team ready to react form today. recommend more eyes need on subjects base of operation.
"I'm going out to see what the word in the street is, look around the prison. You go get that where it needs to be pronto."
|
|
"Aye, calm down, the lot of you. I will not hesitate to wantonly kick all of your asses if I see any more arguments." Suzume said, though the way Sealith put it was enough to intimidate even him.
"Hello there, Sealith-San. I trust you've been doing well."
"Aye, that is integral. But I am new here, so someone's gonna hafta show me the ropes first." He rubbed his hands together. "This is good, really good. More aid in the fight. I look forward to working with you McAllister-San." He stroked the chin of his beak. "You wouldn't have anything to teach my students, would you Sealith-San?"
Roy nodded as he pushed Trish gently to the side and shook Suzume's hand It Roy, Roy McAllistar! I see you already know Sealith, then? Ah! Rita, you said it was? Roy reached out and shook Rita's hand as well Next to Alexis' Metallurgy, you give us the best supplies! Even then, fast, too. We got your shipment from the shop this mornin'!
Rita gave a bewildered look as she shook Roy's hand, flattered Oh, um... thank ye'. We been workin' our asses off with this here Suzume. From the rumors, you lot are the only two of the whole outsider group who killed a Son of Terrak, ain't chya?
Rita gave a downcast look at Trish with a mumble Oi, er, sorry bout... well... you know. She gave another look to Suzume with a hard nudge to the three guys behind her, at once they all gave a slight bow to Suzume and apologized Sorry, Master Suzume!
Vasu took several hours of cleaning, cutting, and preparing the venison of the deer. With nearly one hundred pounds of meat, it was clear not only could Vasu feed a good team for a day or three, but could still sell the furs and other pieces of the deer for a good share of profits- though she would most likely need a translator.
At first the people in the crowds passing Vasu looked on with disgust, but as they saw her methods of preparation some came by and hackled her, and a few offering gold in exchange for a few pieces.
After selling off the fur and the pieces, remaining, Vasu wrapped up the remains inside the backpack and took off to find Sealith near the eastern wall.
As Vasu took flight in the air she could see down below a pleasant sight of Sealith leading a group, and then, an unpleasant site
The crow span is there??? She hissed to herself as she set course to land.
Ethan read the note and, instantly, embarrassment fell over him as he stuttered Oh, shit! he whispered I had no idea, miss. I'm so sorry- I apologize for charging you I had NO idea you were working with Master Aram.... I will ensure everything is ready to go by tonight, they will meet you near the prison at your general instruction. Aram, as I'm sure you know, has to be delicate with how close he is to the matter.
Is there anything else I can do for you?
Gogrin grinned as he put a hand to Telula's forehead and shooed off Archimedes and Myrrdin Perhaps.... the letters can wait.... Gogrin pressed into Telula a little more as he got closer After all we do have that feast in a few days... and we won't leave until after then.... They don't need to know right now.... do they?
Gogrin's nose touched Telula's as he pushed her ever so gently back into the feinting couch with a wide smile, his strong hands upon both her arms as he did so, never losing eye contact.
"I have been doing well as has Vasu. She hunted deer yesterday. I sent her a hunting package to help her in her endeavors. Indeed I would have something to teach your students. That is discipline. They are just learning to fight, but even then discipline is key. An army that falls apart because to many people are trying to be hero, or can't follows orders is a poor army indeed."
Looking at the different people there she eyes them before turning to Rita.
"I believe that is the truth. I was not there with Suzume, so I can not speak on that. Suzume, do you wish me to teach them more than just discipline? They are your students."
Gogrin moved to start slowly taking off Telula's clothes as he picked her up, gently, bit by bit, from the feinting couch as he spoke with a heavy breathed whisper You know.... Now that I'm.... Father... the people will need a....new....Mother
It was quite clear to Telula that perhaps Gogrin wanted to make her his- there was a heavy handed passion in his voice and in his actions as he returned her touch with his own intimate hands and looks while he continued to kiss her, slowly, safely, assuredly.
If there was one thing Gogrin was not lacking in, it was confidence. If there were a second, of course, that was magic, and if there were a third it was obvious at this point as he now shared the feinting couch with Telula, still holding his gaze into her eyes to see how she would respond to his movements.
Vasu alighted on the ground near Sealith and looked around at the group before her. Unsure as to what to say to the group, she simply pulled several large slabs of uncooked deer meat from her bags and held them out for the party to see.
After the brief statement, she flopped down on the ground, laying her sore back upon a soft layer of snow. While it was slightly cold, Vasu's feathers protected her from the bulk of the chill. She sighed.
As Vasu landed the human's eyes grew wide with terror, that is, if they had not just been wide with terror from Sealith recently yelling at them.
As Suzume and Sealith acted and re-acted normally, Trish, Rita, Julian, Benny, and Marco all moved directly behind Sealith or Suzume as soon as Vasu outstretched a hand with meet and spoke in a language they didn't understand.
Benny looked back and forth from Sealith and Vasu, Sealith then Vasu, before jumping behind Suzume and pointing at them both while nervously asking [b]Master Suzume.... just what the f*&! is going on???
"Everyone, these are the three healers that the High Priest has given us. Gregory, Regina, and Maxine. They will be working with us also on the wall."
Vasu landed and showed the meat Sealith smiled and nodded.
She looked over the choicest bits and licked her lips.
Looking up she would notice how people moved behind herself or Suzume. Then, she spotted Benny pointing to them and asking his question. Her eyes just stared at him.
"This individual is Vasu, a third member of our group. She has been hunting outside your walls to bring in game."
"Keep your voice down, don't be silly Ethan, you treat me like any other customer. So well now you know, now before we move on, tell me what you know about this prison warden, his crime gang in the inn, and anything more hes been up to"
"so out and do as I ask, be smart, don't be followed or court, hold off till I've gone out in a moment."
she opens the door and says loudly.
"Mum wants them new sheets Ethan, says them here are flee magnets, she ant pay silver for mucky sheets, have em changed for new uns and wants em by tonight"
she lets him pass her as she clocks the door and heads out on to the streets to scout around and see whats going on.
Ethan tells Lady that he doesn't no much, only that he knows the Warden has been growing more and more discontent over the past few years, and that he has brought several of the impoverished people in the North East to riches through hiring them at his Prison, or, in the most popular of rumors, making deals with criminals and running the prison like a bank of humans instead of a place to keep people out of society.
Ethan attempted to return back to normal as Lilly left to meet her new "mystery man" at Logan's Flood.
Walking outside Lilly could see several different assorted markets of fur, weapons, potions, and much, much more all being traded amongst masses of peoples. Their carts were colorful and a majority of the people smiling- those who weren't were haggling away at one another.
The Prison, should you ask around or make a local knowledge roll for it, is about 4 hours from where you are now, 3 hours from Logan's Flood. How you proceed is of course up to you, just continue to inform me so I can create the world around you properly as well as your direction
Rita, Trish, Roy, and the multitudes of other workers, including the Healers, all dug into the meet at a rate that was slightly uncomfortable for Vasu to behold- so many humans all at once were all digging into her backpack and preparing to cook the meat Vasu had brought.
Rita instantly got to work starting a survivor as Roy gave a foreman like whistle to bring the other new laborer crews about. As they began to eat and the sun slowly fell, Roy began to coordinate with the Healers on where and what they would be needed for and how, and in how they could help one another in repairing the wall.
Roy turned to Sealith as he bit into a nice piece of venison with a grin, and Trish to nod in affirmation We keep up at this pace, and keep getting fed like this, that wall will be built WAY ahead of schedule boss!
Everyone was sure to nod and say thank you in common over and over to Vasu, who could only see a series of humans smiling and nodding at her in what she could only guess was them paying some sort of tribute for her offering of food to the group.
As this experience was all new to her, the Majar just let her body react naturally to the Dwarf's touch. And as he started to remove her clothes, Telula worked on removing his.
F$##...the...people....
That was the last thing the Majar had heard for nearly an hour aside from the sounds and moments of explosive, and technically, magical passion she and the Ruler of 42 shared.
He rose from her with a kiss as he helped her up with his hand, followed by yet another kiss as he whispered with that bearded smile of hisWill you share my bed, if it pleases you, my Majar, my Telula?
Sitting up and looking down at the stain that had appeared on the couch, she spoke a short mystical phrase while waving her hand over it. Almost instantaneously, the stain disappeared.
At Gogrin's offer, Telula smiled and lovingly looked into his eyes, "It would be a pleasure and an honor, my one and only."

"Sealith is right. Soldiers and warriors are not heroes, they are employees. You get your orders and you carry them out."
"Aye, they are my students, but I'm no egomaniac. They may learn from anyone as long as it is not in the form of tainted western sword techniques."
Suzume waved at Vasu as she arrived. "Hello again. Keeping yourself entertained I assume."
Almost everyone in the same place, Suzume had to wonder about Telula. I wonder what it is that she is up to. Something of the upmost importance to this city and it's people. She does not seem the kind of person to hesitate to get down and dirty for the greater good. He thought.
He hummed at the sound of hunting game. "I could eat some mutton. You know, there's this island that makes the most delicious wraps with this sort of cucumber sauce. Granted, this is off topic."
Beside the nagging craving for mutton, he thoroughly enjoyed his mutton. "Next time you folk want any food, I'd be happy to cook it myself. Just no poultry."
Gogrin lifted Telula up effortlessly he barged himself through the study door, knocking it open. As he saw Telula blush at the thought of Maxwell seeing her Gogrin laughed as he kissed her in his arms No need to worry- Maxwell was sent home a bit early my love.
He barged through his own bedroom door as he did the study before gently lowering the Majar into his multi-fur covered, king size bed. The blankets were of what appeared to be the finest silk, and instead of candles surrounding the room it was , which Gogrin silenced immediately and replaced with a low-light instead.
He kissed Telula on her forehead before pointing to each fireplace that sat on either side of the room Go on, love- turn them both on. A snap of your fingers and a fire will be roaring inside each one, and then we can write those pesky letters.
There was a growl to his voice as he spoke now- he was much more confident with her- sure of himself, yet still gentle, just enough.
Rita, after a moment of eating around one of the fires the laborers had built, began to laugh hysterically as she pointed to Vasu while whispering loudly to Suzume Um, is she ok? Ha ha ha!
Benny grabbed one of the pieces of meat just done and ripe from the fire and approached the laying down Syrinx with hesitation, edging closer and closer until he was in the way of the fire and there was nowhere to keep his frame from out of the fearsome looking, giant owl's eyes.
He spoke in common, slightly quivering between the owl and the dragon woman that was near it named "Sealith" Um....would you.... would you like a piece?
Benny held the piece out and over the laying Syrinx, looking as if he was inbetween hold a very hard laugh and running for his life at the single unexpected movement.
