After she left, Drago picked up his talking sword, and headed to the back. Taking a cross-legged sitting position, he held out the blade in front of him and focused.
The blade began floating in mid-air, "Um, what are you doing?"
"I think it's time we get a better feel for each other." Closing his eyes, Drago began meditating.
Celine wakes up a little on the way home, but she soon falls back asleep after daddy had tucked her and Honey in the bed. Snuggled up to her puppy she smiles as she falls into a deep restful sleep.
"I've suffered through worse. But I didn't come to discuss the weather, it's time for me to leave. I've fulfilled my sacred quest, but I feel I must return to Cassym."
"Alright, I appreciate your help and the knowledge of using a shield. Do you need anything before you depart?" the magus asks, brushing off the slightly abrasive nature of the response. Person interaction was definitely not one of Ammon's strengths.
"Just the promise that you won't get yourself killed before growing old. I'd feel like a bad teacher if you did."
Clasping her arm, he said, "Farewell Sādhanā, may your shield never falter."
"I'll do my best." Sādhanā says with a smile, clasping his hand in a warrior's farewell. "Safe travels."
With a respectful bow, Ammon turned and headed for the Docks.
"So now what?" Ylrhea asks Sadhana.
"Well we have a bit of time before we head to the caves. Perhaps check in on Minerva." the magus replies.
Ylrhea nods. "She should be around here somewhere."
"Okay, I'll see if Atalanta knows where she might be." Sādhanā replies.
The proprietress looks up as Sādhanā approaches. "Yes?"
"Would you happen to know where I might find Minerva?" she asks, following up with a description.
"She's in her room," Atlana says, pointing to a door to the right.
"Thank you." she says , smiling at Atlana as she heads to the door and knocks gently.
Minerva opens the door. "Oh, hello."
"Hi," Sādhanā replies. "Just wanted to see how you were doing, have you been able to settle in a bit?"
Minerva nods. "Yeah, it's been okay."
"Are you feeling alright?" Ylrhea asks.
"Things seem...normal with the pregnancy so far," Minerva answers.
"We just wanted you to know that we haven't forgotten about you," Ylrhea says.
"Thank you," Minerva says. "It means a lot. Mr. Jericho and Miss Atlana know about my situation, so they've been very accommodating. It's been stressful to think about."

"I can imagine. We'll find an answer for you, just keep hope." Sādhanā says comfortingly.
"I am trying," Minerva says.
"When are you due?" Sādhanā asks.
"Around the end of Wandering," Minerva answers, thinking for a moment.
"We'll definitely have this figured out before then." the magus says with a smile.

"I would hope so," Ylrhea says. "Though...would a Wish work?"

Sādhanā pauses for a moment, running the magical formulae through her head as she contemplates.
"Yes, I believe it would actually." she says, her expression filling with excitement as she realizes the potential solution.

"But before we do that...maybe we should talk to Konstantyná," Ylrhea says, in an attempt to curb Sadhana's enthusiasm.
"Of course, she is the expert in these matters." Sādhanā answers with a smile.
"We'll talk to Konstantyná, Minerva, and we'll get back to you," Ylrhea says.
"Okay, thanks," Minerva says before going back into her room.
"Well you're a wealth of amazing ideas today love." Sādhanā says taking Ylrhea's hand.
"I dunno," Ylrhea says with a smile. "I was just thinking aloud, I guess."
"So guess we'll need to speak with Konstantyná at some point to determine if it would be safe." Is there anything specific we needed to do before heading out later at this point?
Ylrhea nods. "We can talk to her after we get back from Allira's."
Toni knocks on Drago's door. "Anyone home?"
Humming happily to herself, Celia heads back to Jericho's, radiant from her lunch with Clara. She wore her armor and equipment, looking forward to visiting the enclave again and seeing her parents.
"How was lunch?" Ylrhea asks Celia as she walks in.
"Nice....enjoyable." Celia responds smiling, as she thinks of sitting across the table from Clara looking into her eyes. "I've got a stupid grin on my face don't I?" she asks with a wry grin.

"I wouldn't call it 'stupid'. Dopey, maybe," Ylrhea says with a laugh.
Sadhana chuckles to herself, having predicted Celia and Clara connecting.
Magestreia walks in, the Anizari family behind her. "We're here."
Smiling, Sādhanā stands up. "Excellent. We'll head down to the beach and then teleport from there."
Magestreia walks beside Sadhana as they head to the beach. "Do you think they'll figure out what I used to be?"
"I doubt the majority will, though I'm almost positive that Allira will, however I trust her judgement and discretion." the magus answers. "You are who you are now, a combination of who you were and the body you wear. You get to choose what defines you now." she says supportively. "Trust me, I know firsthand what you're going through."
Once the group reaches the beach, Sādhanā picks a spot just short of the water's edge. "Okay, so I can only take so many people at a time, but the magic is more based upon mass that just how many people come with me." She says to everyone awaiting.
Looking at the anizari family she smiles. "I'll take you all with Celia as our first trip. Though I'm picking a point a bit before the caves so as not to alarm anyone, if any patrols are in the area where we appear, Celia being from there will diffuse any questions should anything come up while I'm back here getting the others."
