[6:52 PM] DM: ------------------

## 17 Ropamont 3Y20

[7:08 PM] DM: After the chat with Jansaadi and Wonder died down, everyone got some rest at the el-Mustafa. It's now morning after a long rest. Gunnloda summoned one more heap of food for breakfast for Jansaadi and the rest of you, and will be leaving anything left for Ceren to hand out before the end of the day.

[7:13 PM] Seirixori: Seir is quiet, poking at the food, but she does eat.

[7:15 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia eats heartily for a minute before glancing over at Seirixori. "You ok?"

[7:16 PM] Seirixori: "Yeah."

[7:18 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "You should eat something, *homashoc*," Ryleigh says, coming in from outside and walking over to them.

[7:19 PM] Seirixori: "I am, I am," she says with a roll of her eyes.

[7:20 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: She grins at Seir and presses a quick kiss to the top of her head. "Sorry, I just worry."

[7:23 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "So... what's our plan?" Ryleigh asks, again keeping things vague.

[7:25 PM] Seirixori: "Going to head south for part of the day."

[7:30 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Looking around the inn, and seeing no one other than Ceren, Ryleigh says, "Right, but why? What's got you leading us south?"

[7:34 PM] Seirixori: "The crystals. Or rather the source of the issue." She sighs and gathers her stuff, "Looks like we actually are going to Murias."

[7:35 PM] Brimeia: "Someplace you know from before?"

[7:39 PM] Seirixori: "I don't know anything about the place, other than it's been behind a barrier this whole time." She says to Brimeia.

[7:37 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "That's our best bet. *You know who* didn't have any other advice except 'go look for a magic cauldron that might not exist'?" Ryleigh looks slightly irritated at the admission.

[7:40 PM] Seirixori: "I spoke with Unastine, nothing about a cauldron was mentioned. When I told her what I found she told me to go there."

[7:38 PM] Gayle Silbando: “What kind of people will we run into there?”

[7:41 PM] Seirixori: Seir looks at Gayle, "None that I know of. Something happened to it a long time ago and I think it was destroyed... or something to that effect."

[7:42 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia pauses her eating for a few moments in shock before resuming. "So probably some bad magic stuff then?"

[7:45 PM] Seirixori: "I guess."

[7:45 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Saadi was the one who mentioned a story about a magical cauldron at the city of Murias... and now Unastine is telling you to go there... I don't like it." Ryleigh crosses her arms. "That woman has done nothing but-" She stops herself, taking a breath. "I trust your judgement... and if you think this is the best way to help these people, then okay."

[7:46 PM] Brimeia: Bri looks back and forth between Seir and Ryleigh. "Do... we not trust those?"

[7:50 PM] Seirixori: Seir gives Ryleigh's arm a squeeze, "She may not be my favorite person but she has no reason to lie to me about this." She mutters a few words to herself before continuing, "She said her magic can't fix the surrounding area, that we had to treat the cause... which is in Murias."

[7:59 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh unfolds her arms when Seir touches her, but it's clear she's still tense.

[7:56 PM] Gayle Silbando: “I guess it’s worth a shot. We all have each other’s backs just in case things go south. And if they do go south, at least we went down trying to help these folks,” she shrugs.

[7:57 PM] Brimeia: "Yeah, the sooner we go, the sooner we can figure this out, hopefully."

[8:00 PM] Gayle Silbando: “I just wish we knew more what to expect, but if everyone knew, then that would be too easy and we like a challenge,” she gives everyone a small smile trying to lighten the mood.

[8:02 PM] Urrak: "We should know by now t' expect th' worst an' hope fer th' best. Either way, might as well get on with it."

[8:06 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh stands and offers her hand to Seir. "If you're ready, we can leave."

[8:07 PM] Seirixori: Seir scoffs, "I can't know more because they wouldn't tell me. 'You'll find out when you get there.'" She says in a mocking voice. "Thanks." She grumbles to herself and nods to Ry.

[8:07 PM] Seirixori: She takes Ry's hand.

[8:12 PM] DM: So you head out and Seir leads you south. The change from the forest to this.... dead land is stark. There is no grass. No shrubbery. Anything smaller than a tree is gone, withered and turned to dust. Fields lie dead, the rows still in place. Few animals remain, mostly only those on farms, but they're thin, shrunken, bones visible through skin. As you leave the town and its surrounding areas, into what would be forest, the animal presence drops. There are no birds, no insects, no critters. It's quiet but the breeze and the sound of twigs clattering together.

[8:16 PM] Seirixori: A shudder runs through Seir as they walk, "How did this get so bad?" She whispers, feeling even that is too loud.

[8:16 PM] Brimeia: "Wow... I didn't realize it was so bad. It's pretty creepy."

[8:17 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I think we're gonna need t'use my magic t'eat out here."

[8:19 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh runs her hand down Seir's arm, and gives her an apologetic look.

[8:19 PM] Brimeia: "We're lucky to have you, Gunnloda."

[8:19 PM] Seirixori: "I think you're right. I can get us berries tomorrow if you want to save it."

[8:20 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "We'll see what else happens. I'll try t'keep one in reserve, but..."

[8:20 PM] Brimeia: "So... who's Unastine, and why don't we like her?"

[8:21 PM] Seirixori: She let's out a heavy sigh, "She's Mielikki's champion. She... was never mean to me like everyone else, but she also never helped when anything happened."

[8:23 PM] Seirixori: Seir squeezes Gunnloda's hand, "Do what you have to." Seir looks up at the sky, "We have to head east mid-day."

[8:25 PM] Urrak: "Some champion." Urrak says, mostly to herself. She crosses her arms, "Ugh, this place gives me th' creeps..."

[8:27 PM] Brimeia: Bri frowns at Seir's answer but just huffs to herself.

[8:27 PM] Seirixori: "She's a gnome," Seir says, like it explains everything.

[8:28 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Does it pay well to be a champion? I’ll take over her job.”

[8:30 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia laughs. "I don't think it works that way. And I doubt they get paid in coin."

[8:31 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Champions are chosen by their god to represent them," Ryleigh says to Gayle.

[8:32 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Huh, interesting choice then.”

[8:34 PM] DM: Is there anything else you'd like to do in this first half of the day?

[8:37 PM] DM: The sun rises high in the sky. There's little shade to block the rays and the breeze is slight, but when it does pick up, it blows dust and dirt around, choking the air and obscuring vision until it dies down.

[8:38 PM] DM: After half a day, Seir redirects your travel.

[8:40 PM] Seirixori: "Time to find a dried up river bed." Seir says quietly, covering her mouth from the dust.

[8:42 PM] Brimeia: "Ugh. Right." Brimeia sputters and tries to pull up the collar of her coat.

[8:43 PM] DM: You travel several more miles and nothing really changes. Lots of dead trees.

[8:44 PM] DM: Let me get some perception checks.

8:45 PM] Urrak: ((10))

[8:45 PM] Seirixori: ((18))

[8:45 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: ((15))

[8:48 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((20))

[8:48 PM] Brimeia: ((16))

[8:50 PM] DM: Gayle and Seir both spot a shift in the color of the ground ahead, an indentation in the ground that is dozens of feet across where the trees are significantly thinner.

[8:51 PM] Seirixori: Seir moves ahead, bending down to touch the ground, checking that it's what she's looking for.

[8:53 PM] DM: It could be the river bed. If it is, it's probably been ages since the river last flowed. There are trees that grew from the dirt, large enough to be hundreds of years old, and while the severity of the indentation and the ground leading to and from it have eroded over years, it is still a significant difference in the surrounding terrain.

[8:54 PM] Brimeia: "This that dry river you were looking for?" Brimeia asks when she catches up.

[8:57 PM] Seirixori: "I think so, let me... I'll be right back." She shifts into a giant eagle and flies up to get a better look at the area.

[8:58 PM] DM: The difference in color looks like a scar cutting through the deadlands, and the way trees have grown around it, but not usually in it is even more apparent from above.

Give me a perception check while you're up there.

[8:59 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((Is the sky still pink around here?))

[8:59 PM] DM: No.

[8:59 PM] Seirixori: ((20)

[9:02 PM] Seirixori: She flies back down and nods to everyone screeching as she uses a giant wing to point to where they need to go.

[9:05 PM] Brimeia: "Guess we're following Bird Seirixori."

[9:05 PM] Urrak: "What could possibly go wrong?" Urrak follows Eagle Seir

[9:07 PM] Seirixori: She does a few little awkward hops before she decides to fly low with the group.

[9:08 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh puts on the hat, sings the magic word, and then follows Seir.

[9:09 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Don’t fly too close to the sun there, Icarus,” Gayle laughs to Seirixori while casting message to her.

[9:11 PM] Seirixori: Seir looks down and tilts her head to look at Gayle, *"I don't think that's possible."*

[9:14 PM] DM: You continue traveling for a while longer, following the riverbed. More perception checks pls.

[9:14 PM] Urrak: ((19))

[9:14 PM] Brimeia: ((5))

[9:14 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: ((18))

[9:14 PM] Seirixori: ((13))

[9:15 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((13))

[9:17 PM] Urrak: "Stop. D'ye hear that?" Urrak stops in her tracks

[9:17 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh stops walking and holds her hand up for everyone to stop. "There's a moaning coming from that way," she says quietly.

[9:18 PM] Brimeia: "That's never good..." Brimeia murmurs, getting her axe ready, just in case.

[9:18 PM] Seirixori: Seir circles above.

[9:29 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Let's just be aware there's something that way, but I think we should press on. Unless there's any objections."

[9:29 PM] Gayle Silbando: Gayle shakes her head.

[9:30 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((Is the path back this way pretty easy to navigate alongside the dirt?))

[9:30 PM] DM: There isn't really a path but there's not a lot of stuff blocking the view, so travel is pretty easy.

[9:31 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia nods. "Let's go check it out."

[9:31 PM] Seirixori: Seir lets out a high-pitched whistle as she circles above, wondering why they've stopped.

[9:32 PM] DM: As you've stopped, you can all hear it now, it's low, and it sounds like something in pain or dying.

[9:33 PM] Brimeia: "Really doesn't sound good..." Brimeia whispers, axe still ready.

[9:34 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((Does it sound distant? Like carried by the wind or pretty close?))

[9:34 PM] DM: Fairly close.

[9:36 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Is it okay if I go check it out? I can be invisible,” she says a little quieter.

[9:36 PM] Seirixori: ((can Seir scan again because everyone stopped and isn't saying anything to her lol))

[9:37 PM] DM: Sure.

[9:37 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Or maybe it’s a trick and we should keep going...like a siren call or something.”

[9:38 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I already suggested we keep moving... and yet... here we are," Ryleigh says quietly.

[9:40 PM] Brimeia: "Oh, misunderstood you. Let's go on then."

[9:41 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh keeps walking in the direction they were walking in.

[9:38 PM] Seirixori: ((20))

[9:39 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Sorry, onward we go,” she motions to keep going. She casts message again to Seir and says, “Sorry for the delay, it sounded like someone was hurt over there.”

[9:41 PM] Seirixori: Seir starts to head down, towards the sound. *"Yeah, I can see that now. It's a wolf."* She lands a little away from it, shifting back to Seir as she does.

[9:42 PM] DM: Before you get too close, you notice there's something different about this wolf.

[9:42 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Seirixori says it’s a wolf,” Gayle says frowning. “I hope they’re okay.”

[9:42 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Seeing Seir land, Ryleigh stops and withdraws Dawnbringer.

[9:43 PM] Seirixori: Seir, seeing the difference, keeps her distance. Hands twisting around her staff as she tries to get a better look.

[9:43 PM] DM: It's lying on its side, its breathing is labored, and there are several spots where it looks like it's bleeding, but most obviously, she can see clusters of crystals that have grown out of the wolf's body and face, including its eyes. The crystals shimmer in multiple colors and cause a dim light to glow around it, swirling in different hues.

[9:44 PM] DM: When Seir landed, the moaning shifted to more of a whine.

[9:44 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh walks over to Seir.

[9:45 PM] Gayle Silbando: Gayle approaches with caution but keeps a safe distance to not overcrowd the animal.

[9:47 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "It's in pain," Ryleigh says to Seir. "Should we put it out of its misery?"

[9:48 PM] Gayle Silbando: Gayle casts mage hand to try and gently pet the wolf and comfort it.

[9:48 PM] Urrak: "Seir would kill you." Urrak mumbles

[9:50 PM] Seirixori: Seir closes her eyes and mutters something quietly. With a heavy sigh she walks to it, nodding at Ry's question. She uses speak with animals first, speaking in druidic as she speaks to it. *"I'm sorry, I can end your pain, but can you tell me what happened?"*

[9:49 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Maybe I can try and remove the crystals? If it’s not...too late.”

[9:52 PM] DM: The wolf whines in response.

[9:53 PM] Seirixori: Seir kneels down, whispering to it.

[9:53 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh moves closer to Seir and keeps looking around them, while Seir does her thing.

[9:54 PM] Urrak: "Gods, poor thing..."

[9:55 PM] Brimeia: "Wonder if it ate the crystals on accident.."

[9:56 PM] Seirixori: Seir stands and looks up at the sky for a few seconds then with a deep breath she grips her staff and slams it down as hard as she can onto the wolf's head.

[9:58 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia's eyes go wide at the sudden action. She watches Seir uncertainly, not sure how to respond.

[9:58 PM] DM: I won't make you roll for it. However, I need everyone who has come within 30' of the wolf to make a CON save.

[9:58 PM] Urrak: ((so...everyone? lol))

[9:59 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: ((13))

[9:59 PM] Urrak: ((22))

[10:00 PM] Seirixori: ((23))

[10:00 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((12))

[10:02 PM] DM: The space erupts into bright blinding light as the crystals growing from the wolf shatter, bouncing off of you all harmlessly. When the light fades and you blink away the spots, the wolf lies dead at Seir's feet, the crystals jagged and short.

[10:03 PM] Urrak: Urrak instinctively throws up her hands and closes her eyes, but opens them quickly after the light fades, "What the fuck was that?"

[10:03 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh walks over to Seir and opens her arms, letting Seir decide if she needs a hug or not.

[10:04 PM] Seirixori: Seir blinks in surprise at the light, "Okay... maybe that wasn't the way to go."

[10:04 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Were they able to tell you anything or were they in too much pain?”

[10:04 PM] Seirixori: She smiles sadly at Ry and shakes her head, "I'm alright, Ry. But uh, I'm a bit worried about Wonder now."

[10:04 PM] Brimeia: ((22))

[10:05 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Saadi is going to take care of them," Ryleigh says, squeezing Seir's arm lightly.

[10:06 PM] Gayle Silbando: “These crystals are a weapon,” she says with anger and sadness in her voice.

[10:06 PM] Seirixori: "They were hunting... tried to bite...I guess another animal with the crystals..." She waves her hand at the wolf. "Looks like it spreads."

[10:07 PM] Urrak: "Like some kind o' virus?" Urrak furrows her brow, "This keeps gettin' worse."

[10:08 PM] Gayle Silbando: “Time to put on some gloves if you have any. Not like they’ll help much but who knows.”

[10:09 PM] Urrak: "Haven't worn gloves in years, hard t' fight in 'em," Urrak shifts her weight, feeling more and more uneasy, "We should keep goin'."

[10:12 PM] Brimeia: "Don't touch the scary magical rocks. Got it."

[10:12 PM] Seirixori: Seir kneels again, she reaches out and kind of pets the air around the wolf and mutters a few words. She stands again, "Yeah." She starts heading toward their destination again.

[10:15 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh walks just behind her.

[10:15 PM] DM: Give me perception checks real quick.

[10:15 PM] Urrak: ((6))

[10:15 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((20))

[10:16 PM] Brimeia: ((2))

[10:16 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: ((12))

[10:17 PM] Seirixori: ((Nat 1-8))

[10:19 PM] Gayle Silbando: "Looks like wolfy came from south and made its way over here. I wonder how far they walked," she points.

10:22 PM] Urrak: "Poor thing was probably lookin' fer water or somethin', anythin' t' help th' pain," Urrak sighs, "What a rough way t' go."

[10:27 PM] Seirixori: "They were hungry." Seir says as she continues to walk

[10:29 PM] Urrak: "Well they aren't sufferin' anymore, that's what matters." Urrak says softly. "Rotten work, that."

[10:31 PM] DM: So you're continuing back to the river and further?

[10:31 PM] Gayle Silbando: ((yes))

[10:31 PM] Seirixori: ((ya))

[10:33 PM] DM: You travel for a while longer, still no change in the plant life or the lack of animals in the area. As it starts to get towards dark, you spot something ahead- a dim light that shines over the branches and through the trunks, shimmering and swirling in various colors.

[10:34 PM] Brimeia: "Is all this from that magic storm?"

[10:38 PM] Seirixori: Seir stops and stares at the light, "No." She pauses, "We aren't near it and this... feels different."

[10:39 PM] Seirixori: "And... there's more crystals."

[10:39 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Bad different or good different?"

[10:40 PM] Seirixori: She shrugs, "Probably bad... I don't think we should go in there tonight."

[10:41 PM] Urrak: "Agreed, I don't trust anythin' out here."

[10:41 PM] Brimeia: "Fine by me," Brimeia mumbles in agreement, eyeing the shimmering light apprehensively.

[10:42 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Why don't we set up camp and we'll tackle it tomorrow."

[10:44 PM] Seirixori: "Gonna have to set it up ourselves." Seir says as she continues staring up at the light.

[10:47 PM] Urrak: "Firewood's easy enough t' come by. Nice an' dry," Urrak walks off to start collecting

[10:47 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia helps set up the tents.

[10:47 PM] DM: Gunnloda casts her food spell again and we'll stop here for squish before the next session.

## Devil's Food

[11:18 AM] DM: After the food's all summoned, Gunnloda makes her way to Seir's side. "Y'ok, darlin'?"

[11:31 AM] Seirixori: It takes Seir a moment to respond. She tilts her head and with a small smile says, "Eventually."

[11:36 AM] DM: There's worry in her eyes as her brows pull together, but all she says is, "I'm here if y'need anythin'." She pauses, then reaches out and puts her hand on Seir's. "You're not alone here. Y'don't need t'be."

[11:54 AM] Seirixori: Seir threads their fingers together and pulls Gunnloda closer. "I feel... I feel like it sometimes. Even with all of you here."

[12:13 PM] DM: Gunnloda squeezes her hand. "Let me know how t'help. Let us help."

[12:22 PM] Seirixori: She chuckles, "Can you make everything stop?" Seir sighs and lifts Gunnloda's hand to her lips, "I wish I knew. It does help that you are here, but... I don't know what I need."

[12:44 PM] DM: Gunnloda thinks for a second. "What needs t'stop?"

[1:02 PM] Seirixori: She smiles sadly, "My mind? Losing people?" Seir shakes her head, "I feel like I'm repeating myself a lot, but there's been so much happening and it feels like we haven't stopped. Even the boat ride was..." She laughs again, "I'm tired of feeling sad all the time."

[1:21 PM] DM: Gunnloda sighs and leans into Seir. "I know that feelin'. Only thing I know how t'do with it is bury it, but... well."

[1:31 PM] DM: She's quiet for a bit longer then says, "Jansaadi seems nice."

[1:32 PM] Seirixori: Seir wraps her arm around Gunnloda, "She was... is."

[1:33 PM] Seirixori: "I never expected to see her again...and now I wonder if this was the last time."

[1:35 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Why?"

[1:37 PM] Seirixori: "She's going to keep going into the storm... I don't know how many more times she can go in before she doesn't come back out."

[1:47 PM] DM: "Maybe she'll surprise you."

[1:50 PM] Seirixori: "I hope so," she whisper, hiding her face briefly. "I just found her again... It'd be nice to have a different reason to visit."

[1:55 PM] DM: "Wonder too," she chuckles.

[2:02 PM] Seirixori: "Yes, Wonder too." She gives Gunnloda a kiss. "And Findarris."

[2:16 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I bury my grief and sadness... you cling to it. Maybe there's a middle we can find. Acknowledgin' the pain, but takin' the chance t'be happy when it comes too."

[2:23 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods. "Sounds good. ... I'm sorry for what I said...or how I said it."

[2:56 PM] DM: Gunnloda doesn't say anything for a while, like she's not sure how, then she says quietly, "I know y'were speakin' through your own pain... y'know I don't want t'die.... an' while Ryleigh prob'ly would give her life for her brother's, I don't think she wants t'die either. That seems t'be a problem for only one of the three of us."

[5:25 PM] Seirixori: She chews on her lip as she thinks of how to respond, "I-- I know that's what I said and how it sounded at least but... but drowning yourself in something and," she just kind of waves towards Ryleigh instead of saying anything, "is kind of the same thing." She shakes her head after she says it, "But I know we're all working on it, I do."

[5:32 PM] DM: "We all got traumas in our pasts we're tryin' t'get through... and they may not be the healthiest, but... they're not personal attacks on you, even if they feel like it sometimes." She sighs again. "Drinkin' was about me, not you... same for Ryleigh's..." she gestures like Seir did. "And we can use your help t'find healthier ways t'deal, but when we fail, it's not 'cause we don't love you. It's not 'cause we're tryin' t'hurt you."

[5:43 PM] Seirixori: Seir presses her face into Gunnloda again, just breathing and taking comfort, "I know, I'm sorry, sometimes it's frustrating and a lot of it is because I don't know what to do and instead of asking or just sitting there I end up saying something... pretty unhelpful."

[6:11 PM] DM: She chuckles a bit. "I know that feelin' too. I think... we just need t'talk about it, 'stead of around it. None of us knows what we're doin' or how t'help... all I know how t'do is ask how I can help and be ready t'do it when y'let me."

[6:20 PM] Seirixori: "Talking to people is a lot different than talking to animals." Seir says with a small laugh.

[6:27 PM] Seirixori: She frowns, "Talking to Mielikki is harder."

[6:27 PM] DM: "D'you wanna talk about it?"

[6:36 PM] Seirixori: "I don't know how to ask the right questions. Or how to word them? I think I'm missing something with what she said to me. and not just that, she didn't mention this whole mess to me... but then again I didn't ask if there was anything wrong, just if she wanted something from me." She frowns, "I don't think she even really answered that."

[6:41 PM] DM: "I... d'you want t'walk me through it or are y'just thinkin' aloud?"

[6:59 PM] Seirixori: "Bit of both." She stares at Gunnloda for several moments, a soft smile on her face. Her expression changes to neutral when she starts to speak, "After a misunderstanding, I asked her if she knew how I could help Mama, how I could get her back... she asked why would I want that?" Seir frowns, "Then when I told her why-- which I really shouldn't have been confused about the need to explain-- She said I was stronger than I was and if this is what I wanted... she was going to remove the mark, but," she rolls her eyes, "I was so confused and that's when I asked what she meant, that I was going to ask her what she wanted."

[7:04 PM] Seirixori: "That's when she said the mark protects me. And-- and that--" Seir starts to chew on her lip again, "Mama's an agent of the dark fey queen and it prevents me from being known to her forces and protects me from who killed everyone..." Then she finishes with, "Then it went onto the mark and what else it did, and champion stuff." She waves her hand, like the last bit isn't really important.

[7:14 PM] DM: "Your mark protects you... from her forces? Who killed everyone? I thought it was bandits? What else does it do?"

[7:30 PM] Seirixori: "They are, or... I thought they were? They might still be, just fly under her flag." She groans. "And... I don't know if it does anything else... when I asked if it did she asked if I expected anything else. I told her I thought it meant I owed her something, then she told me I was a gift, why would I?"

[7:37 PM] DM: "Why's it sound like you're disappointed by that?"

[7:39 PM] Seirixori: "It just seems like a weird thing to mark someone just for protection."

[7:45 PM] DM: Gunnloda's silent for a moment, thinking. "Is it? If it's magic... it'd need t'be an effect embedded in an object. And there's no promise you'd wear a necklace or bracers or somethin' else all the time. Especially without tellin' you why. Makin' you the object means it's permanent."

[7:49 PM] Seirixori: "I suppose so..." She picks at her bracers, "It just makes these a little weird. That they were a gift" she laughs, "especially when it seems her general idea of a gift is babies."

[7:50 PM] DM: Gunnloda chuckles. "Maybe she knew you were too young back then."

[7:58 PM] Seirixori: "Well that's lucky." Seir cups Gunnloda's face and kisses her slowly. When she finally pulls away she says, "Do you want me to feed us tomorrow? ...not that I would really count a berry as food."

[8:05 PM] DM: "I always have the spell prepared... just in case. And what we don't eat tonight will last through the morning. We'll see who's got the power by the end of the night."

[8:31 PM] Seirixori: "Mmkay. So long as I don't decide to feed the forest animals instead." She scrunches her nose and grins at her own joke.

[8:31 PM] DM: "If y'can find any *to* feed, I might not argue with you."

[8:51 PM] Seirixori: "Yeah... I don't understand how it got this bad." She tilts her head, "Depending on what happens with what we find, do you think everyone will be okay if we stay a few days to get everything growing again?"

[9:27 PM] DM: "I told y'once that if you asked, the rest of them would do just about anythin' for you. It's still true."

[9:32 PM] Seirixori: She scrunches her nose again, "Yeah."

[9:43 PM] DM: "Y'don't believe me?" She squeezes Seir again. "It took us a while t'get here, but they always asked your permission first, didn't they? They checked with you t'make sure it'd be ok."

[9:49 PM] Seirixori: "It feels weird."

[9:50 PM] DM: "You're the glue that holds this team t'gether." She grins. "Accept it. We all love you."

[9:56 PM] Seirixori: Her face flushes, "If say so."

[9:57 PM] DM: She chuckles and kisses Seir. "*Ko'dadir*."

[10:04 PM] Seirixori: Seir's face reddens even more, and she nearly stutters as she says, "Ryleigh's practically begging for me to save her but I think she can wait a minute longer."

[10:09 PM] DM: "Guess we better make the best use of that minute, then." She chuckles and pulls Seir in for another kiss.

## Urryleigh

3:15 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: After camp is set up and the fire is built, Ryleigh does a short walk around the nearby forest then settles near the fire by Urrak. "Can we... talk? Are you up for that?"

[3:16 PM] Urrak: Urrak turns to look at Ryleigh, a curious expression on her face. She's quiet a moment.  "Sure, Ryleigh. What's on yer mind?"

[3:27 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Yesterday at the inn, I was a bit short with you," Ryleigh says matter of factly. With her eyes trained on the fire she continues with, "I think you deserve to know why. If you're ready to really listen to what I have to say."

[3:30 PM] Urrak: Urrak sucks her teeth, "Alright. Go ahead,"

[3:41 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh looks away from the fire and at Urrak with a raised eyebrow. "That's not exactly the answer I was looking for..." She sighs and looks around camp.

[3:46 PM] Urrak: "An' what did ye expect, Ryleigh? We haven't been on the best terms for quite sometime. I'm constantly worried about sayin' th' wrong thing, doin' th' wrong thing. When I say I'm tryin' t' put my best for forward I'm met with suspicion. I'm all fer hearin' ye out Ryleigh. I'm jus' bracin' myself."

[3:49 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Of course you're met with suspicion, because all you do is talk. Words prove who someone wants to be, but actions prove who someone is. Your actions are in stark difference from your words - so what exactly did you expect from us?"

[3:54 PM] Urrak: "I don't expect anythin' anymore, Ryleigh. I'm just hoping fer more chances t' prove my words true." She folds herself inward, grasping her knees and locking her arms.

[4:08 PM] Urrak: "I'm not tryin' t' fight with ye. This isn't about me.  Clearly this is upsettin' ye, or ye'd be with Seirixori right now. Or anyone else, probably. So, please, what's troubling ye about that night? "

[4:33 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh closes her eyes as she grips Dawnbringer's handle. The tension in her shoulders starts to fade and eventually Ryleigh looks as close to relaxed as she usually does on a mission. "Look," she starts, then sighs and opens her eyes, "I've chosen to love Seirixori, and to care for all of you, more than I've let myself in years. You don't understand why that's so difficult for me, and I'm not sure I want to tell you why either.... because I'm afraid you'll hurt me with it. Just like you did with the easy affection that used to be between us."

[4:37 PM] Urrak: "I can't ask fer yer trust, Ry, I know that," she starts to reach over to her, but stops herself, "And even if I tell ye I won't, it's still just words. But if ye find th' strength, let me show ye I'm not that kind o'person."

5:17 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Only time will tell me if your words are nothing but empty promises." Ryleigh looks back at the fire, her eyes looking past the flames instead of at them. "I hope you manage it - for you, and for us."

[5:22 PM] Urrak: "I hope so too. Jus' as much I hope whatever demons are still eatin' away at ye will disappear." Urrak sighs and rests her head on her arms. "Y' don't have t' hang around. I'm sure Seir needs yer time more than I do right now. '

[5:31 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh groans in frustration, standing abruptly and throwing her hands up in the process. She rounds on Urrak and shouts, "Stop talking and listen for a minute!" Ryleigh takes a deep breath, trying to calm down, but her next words are said with just as much fire, "I'm trying to get you to ask me why loving you is hard for me and you're so stuck in your ways that you can't. I'm so tired of talking in circles with you. If you really want to save whatever friendship we have left, stop pitying yourself and ask me why, Urrak."

[5:38 PM] Urrak: "Why then?" She matches Ry's intensity, "Why."

[6:23 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "The people I love..." Ryleigh stops, then starts again, "Bad things happen to the people I care for..." She looks upset "...and it's always  because of me. So, I isolate myself. I learned the hard way that the price of loving something or someone is high. Despite that, I've decided to love again, and it isn't easy, it's really hard." Ryleigh sits back down, looking into the fire once more. "It's hard because there's a voice whispering in the back of my head that if I truly cared, I'd leave... because at least you'd all be safe." She bites her lip, worry clearly showing on her face, but her voice is so much softer now. "That voice is constantly there... putting me down and making me feel small. It fuels my anger and ignites in a rage that makes me want to hurt others - to make them suffer. Sometimes... it wins, which is why there's a creature tracking me down right now... and every day is a struggle against those toxic thoughts, but I fight it anyway - even if it's a losing battle - because I want to be more than my demons." She sighs and looks at Urrak. "I'm harsh on you because I understand what it's like to feel like there's something ugly inside of you, but you blame your behavior on it instead of trying to overcome it. I get angry with you because caring for you is hard for me and it feels like you're so ready and willing to throw it away just because I said something you didn't like. It's hard enough for me to love someone, I don't need your help too."

[7:09 PM] Urrak: Urrak is quiet for a moment, taking in everything Ryleigh said. She worries the strap of her bracer as she figures out just how to respond. "Yer right, I do blame it, because it seems impossible t' overcome. When it looks ye in th' eye everyday, when it's the first thing people see, it feels like there nothing ye can do t' change it...I guess I figured, at this point, I might as well jus' accept it. T' prove people right. Th' outside world wants me t' be this gruff, ruthless orc, an' th' Stronghold, well, they just want me t' be a child bearer, or not be at all. But I'm none of those things, I never have been. My Pa, " she pauses, swallows, "My Pa always told me how things were where he grew up. That people there could be whatever they wanted t' be. Love whoever they wanted t' love. He taught me softness, simplicity. An' I never wanted anything more." She unfolds, sits up straight and cross-legged, " I thought maybe I wanted family from ye. But what I've known of family is jus'... Broken. Th' pain is too strong. But..." Her eyes get glassy, and she blinks a couple times to keep the tears in, "I just want us; you, me, everyone, t'be friends. T'have that kind of love. An' t' do that I need to remember that softness this world has tried t' take from me. From all of us, really." She sighs, her eyes going back to the fire. "D'ye know why I always sit here? Why I always offer t' make th' fire when Seirixori can't summon her sprites?"

[7:21 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Because you can't stay away from anything hot?" Ryleigh says, a small amount of humor in her eyes.

[7:33 PM] Urrak: "Har har," Urrak smiles and rolls her eyes, "In an orc stronghold, there's always a fire burnin'. It's called th' War Hearth, an' it's never t' go out. It's th' beatin' heart of the tribe." She picks up a nearby stick and tosses it into the flames. "When I was little, when I was scared or anxious or worried...I would look at th' Hearth and know I was safe. Even if everyone around me hated my guts, even after my father was killed...that fire was there, it was strong, an' it would keep me an' my Ma safe. This group, as cheesy as it sounds, is  my own Hearth. Ye've all become jus' as constant. As long as we're able t' light th' fire, t' gather th' wood, I know we'll be ok. No matter what insanity we encounter next. An' I hope that I can be th' same fer ye as well." She holds out a hand, "Thank ye fer telling me all that, Ryleigh. I know it wasn't easy. I hope I can make ye proud, someday. That I can make carin' fer me a bit easier."

[8:06 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh hesitates to take Urrak's hand, eventually she does, but she let's go after a quick shake. Then her hand immediately goes to Dawnbringer's handle. "You might be half-orc, but you shouldn't forget thatyou're half human too. Maybe you should let that side dictate your actions more often..." Ryleigh frowns then half chuckles "...maybe not, humans are arguably more terrible than orcs."

[8:16 PM] Urrak: Urrak grins widely, "I think both 'em have their strengths and weaknesses... But mostly weaknesses." She leans back on her hands, looking into the flames, "Thanks, Ry. Fer everythin'."

[8:26 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: After a long silence of saying nothing, Ryleigh finally asks, "Why were you pushing for me to go to Seirixori earlier?"

[8:35 PM] Urrak: Urrak's face falls, "This trip is going t' hurt her, Ryleigh. More than anyone here can imagine. She needs ye. Gunnloda too." She takes a deep breath, "I  worry about her. All this stuff with her mama an' her goddess mother, with this Fey queen an' th' famine... Ever since I saw what she did t' th' Bandit King... I dunno, what it is exactly, but I'm worried about her. Her mind, her heart. She's goin' t' get hurt, an' she needs th' two o' ye t' make sure that hurt doesn't fester int'a somethin' worse. "

[8:55 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh's eyes narrow. "Seirixori's strong. She doesn't need our worry... she needs our support. She also needs people to stop talking for her."

[9:07 PM] Urrak: "I know, I need t' stop doin' that...and I know she's strong. There's no doubtin' it. I jus'... It only takes someone bein' pushed that extra bit t' go over th' edge... T'do somethin' ye can't take back. I'm here fer her, however I can be, but you an' Gunnloda are her people. I jus' get this feelin' in my gut that she's gonna need ye more than ever. That's all."

[9:36 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Looking over to where Seir is, Ryleigh frowns. "We are her people, but she has plenty of room in her heart for more friends... if only you'd stop doing everything she asks you to not."

[9:40 PM] Urrak: Urrak smiles wistfully, "I know, trust me...I'm a work in progress, Ryleigh."

[10:13 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Again, Ryleigh looks at where Seir is with Gunnloda. Her eyes stay there until she sees them kiss, then she sighs and looks back to the fire. "Just keep progressing..."

[10:16 PM] Urrak: "That's th' plan," she chuckles, "Now go on before she thinks I'm holdin' ye captive."

[10:32 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh rolls her eyes. "She's busy," she says.

[10:36 PM] Urrak: "Busy with the wife? Understandable." There's a stretch of silence, "How's Rukiya?"

[10:40 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "She's worried."

[10:41 PM] Urrak: "About you an' this... Thing?"

[10:44 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Yes." Ryleigh's grip on Dawnbringer tightens, and she looks uncomfortable. "She's worried there won't be a way to stop it before... before it stops me."

[10:49 PM] Urrak: "She loves ye, Ryleigh, she'll do everythin' she can t' make sure that won't happen. An' th' rest of us are here t' keep it at bay, " she places a hand on the dagger on her chest, "Try t' take comfort in that love. We'll get ye through this."

[10:54 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh's eyes glance to Urrak's hand over her dagger. "We'll find her, Urrak."

[10:58 PM] Urrak: Urrak's hand quickly moves away from her chest, "I-I'm sure we will... It's more so... I-It's not important. Not compared t' what yer goin' through."

[10:58 PM] Seirixori: Seir finally does walk over and stands next to Ry, but doesn't sit down. She doesn't say anything just places a comforting hand on Ry's shoulder.

[11:13 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh's hand immediately goes to Seir's, and she relaxes into the touch. "It is important, because it's likely that where we're doing next. Assuming... you still want to find her."

[11:15 PM] Urrak: "I do want to... I just wonder if I want t' because I still care fer her, or because Mal... Ugh this is... Odd t'talk about, honestly. "

[11:19 PM] DM: Gunnloda wanders over after Seir and takes a seat. "Well, we can talk 'bout that, or  about what y'said t'me a while back about not wantin' t'come back..."

[11:22 PM] Urrak: "Both are equally awkward... But one is less so, I guess," she rubs the back of her neck, "I...personally would rather pass on should I fall, than be brought back through magic. It seems...wrong t' me."

[11:26 PM] Seirixori: Seir frowns, her whole face practically frowns, but she continues to stay silent and sits behind Gunnloda, wrapping her arms around her as usual.

[11:26 PM] DM: Gunnloda frowns. "Considerin' the very real possibility of that comin' t'pass, d'you think maybe we should talk about that b'fore the day I'm spreadin' diamonds on you?"

[11:29 PM] Urrak: "I'm sorry I haven't said anythin', never really knew how t'bring it up. I don't care what ye do fer others, or what others want ye t'do. It's jus' when I think about it...I dunno, it's just not something that's done where I'm from. Fer as little faith as I put in th' gods..."

[11:34 PM] Urrak: She looks around at her companions, "But uh... Who knows, I might change my mind, when the time comes, eh?" She lets out a sigh, "I should've jus' talked about my relationship troubles..."

[11:34 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "If y'do, make sure y'tell me before it's too late?"

[11:35 PM] Urrak: "I will, Gunnloda. I promise ye that."

[11:37 PM] Seirixori: "Usually 'when the time comes' it doesn't really give much actual time to change your mind."

[11:43 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "We all deal with death differently. Some people see it as a rest after the burden of life. Others cling to life out of fear of death. None of them are wrong."

[11:40 PM] Urrak: "Suppose that's true.  I'll...do some more thinkin'... Alright?" She looks at Seirixori apologetically.

[11:40 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "Good. Now back to what's going on with Ancy and Malica and this thing between you and them."

[11:41 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods to Urrak.

[11:46 PM] Urrak: "Can't catch a break t'night, uh, ok. Ok." She takes a deep breath and lets it out slowly. "Over the past few weeks, I've been seein' how Seirixori and Gunnloda, and you an' Rukiya act t'gether, and how ye talk about one another... An' guess it's made me come t' terms with what I've known fer a long time about...Malica and m'self."

[11:52 PM] Urrak: She picks at the dirt beneath her, "Deep down, I've always known Malica doesn't love me. She can't. It's jus'... Not in her nature. An' there's nothin' I can say or do t' change that." She starts to dig a small hole with her fingertip, "Our entire relationship has been transactional. Both of us usin' each other fer some kind of small comfort. A distraction."

[11:55 PM] Urrak: "It's been more than welcome but...I don't know how much longer I can be with her and not feel...hollow. Or worse, like some kind of... Well y'know." She waves her hand about in the air and goes back to digging. "I miss th' kind of...intention th' four of ye have. It's hard t' put into words..."

[11:57 PM] Seirixori: "Is it something you know or is it something you're saying for someone else again?" There's no malice from Seir, just a genuine question.

[11:59 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh leans over and asks Seir in a quiet voice, "what does Urrak mean by 'some kind of y'know'?"

[12:03 AM] Seirixori: Seir shrugs at Ry's question.

[12:00 AM] Urrak: "It's somethin' she's told me, in more eloquent words. She's always said that I'll have her as long as I want her, but whenever I would talk of a future together... It was an impossibility."

[12:03 AM] Seirixori: "Why?"

[12:04 AM] Urrak: "She doesn't feel deservin' of love. And she's scared of havin' a family. Too much... trauma."

12:07 AM] Seirixori: Seir now actually looks confused, "...Okay? So how does that... I don't understand how that translates to making it impossible?"

[12:19 AM] Urrak: "It's... I don't know what it is. Could be as simple as two people with different life goals. But she can't even be sure who she is. She's been so many different people. I guess she feels like she isn't meant t'have what ye'd call a 'normal' life. If I insist, she'll deflect, distract me with sex or her music, anythin'. " She takes about deep breath, "An' as fer myself, I don't know if I love her fer who I think she is, or if I'm jus'... Horribly lonely. "

[12:22 AM] Seirixori: Seir's quiet for a moment and then says, "There's only so much someone can deflect before you force yourself to ignore the distractions... unless you really don't want to hear the answer."

[12:26 AM] Urrak: "It's about as easy t' get a straight answer outta her than t' catch a frog with yer bare hands... I get th' feelin' that even if I did ignore all those things, she'd never tell me how she really feels."

[12:31 AM] Seirixori: "And if she has but you don't want to believe it because you don't think you deserve it?"

[12:36 AM] Urrak: "I appreciate th' help, truly, but I know I'd hear her tell me she loved me, even if I felt undeservin' of that love. Which..well, undeservin' isn't really th' word I'd use." She makes a small circle in the dirt, "My feelin's fer Ancy are strong, but they're also complicated."

[12:42 AM] Seirixori: "So then why mention what she's going through, when it sounds more like an issue with your feelings?"

[12:49 AM] Urrak: "Because I don't know that it is. It's not a question of who will I be with at th' end o' this. There's a little voice inside o' me that tells me Ancy an' can't be together again... Which makes it a question if do I really want t' be with Malica because of love, or am I jus' runnin' away from th' pain of losing my wife? An' if it's the former, how can I be with someone who could possibly never feel those kind of things for me?" She taps the center of her circle "This... Really seems silly compared t' th' problem we're facin' right now... "

[12:55 AM] Seirixori: "...yeah that still sounds like a you thing." Seir says completely ignoring Urrak's last few words.

[12:58 AM] Seirixori: She threads her hands through Gunnloda's, "I grew up around people who love multiple people, romantically, and I had to have some things explained to me because I didn't understand why there were people who thought that was wrong. No love is the same, whatever you and Malica have it will never be what you and Ancy had. Love is different for everyone, if you want it to work you have to... you have to listen and watch, not just... assume, presume, all those other things."

[12:58 AM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh continues to watch the conversation, but doesn’t speak.

[1:02 AM] Urrak: Urrak is quiet for a moment. "That's--That's Really helpful actually...Thank you, Seirixori."

[1:04 AM] Seirixori: Seir looks surprised, having expected a bit more pushback. "Um... you're welcome?"

[1:08 AM] Urrak: Urrak sits in the awkward silence for what feels like an eternity. "Weeeelp," she drums her fingers on the ground "uh... Is there anythin'...else ye all wanted t'...talk about?"

[1:13 AM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh grins and shrugs.

[1:16 AM] Seirixori: "Might have to stay a few days more if whatever we find here fixes stuff, but other than that, no."

[1:18 AM] Urrak: "Hopefully it does," Urrak smiles a little, "I'll stay as long as it takes."

[1:24 AM] Seirixori: Seir nods her thanks.

[6:09 PM] Seirixori: Seir purses her lips and starts to get agitated. She shifts uncomfortably for a good minute before she groans and says, "Urrak-- I can't believe I'm going to say this-- don't listen to what I just said. I mean listen to it, but in this situation... don't."

[6:11 PM] Urrak: "Sorry...Which, uh, situation is that, Seirixori? "

[6:24 PM] Seirixori: "Yours... with Malica. You-- you were right." She almost looks pained to say it.

[6:36 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh rests her hand on Seir's leg, just as a reminder she's not alone.

[6:36 PM] Urrak: "I didn't think I'd ever hear ye say those words," Urrak chuckles

[6:37 PM] Urrak: "Though...I do wonder about th' sudden change o' thought."

[6:53 PM] DM: Gunnloda waits a second to see if Seir will continue then says, "It's good advice in general but..." She sighs. "Malica is tryin', bless her heart, and maybe she'll figure it out one day, but the way she talks... I'm not sure she knows what she wants, but I'm doubtful it's what you want."

[6:58 PM] Seirixori: Seir sighs in relief at the explanation, much less wordier than what she was thinking, and less confusing. "Yes, exactly."

[7:02 PM] Urrak: "Aye," she sighs, "That's definitely th' truth of it, Gunnloda. Suppose we'll need t' have quite th' long conversation about all that once we get back t' Riverrun." She's quiet a moment, her hand idly fidgeting with the dagger, " I still appreciate ye tryin' t' help, Seirixori, truly."

[7:18 PM] Seirixori: "It's not just that..." Seir hesitates, but eventually continues, "I said--I said all that because I wanted you to focus on you not her. Because it does seem like you're just... using her." She frowns at the word. "I don't know how else to say that."

[7:22 PM] Urrak: "There's no other way t' say it, unfortunately."

[7:24 PM] Seirixori: "Sorry," Seir mutters, fidgeting with Ryleigh's hand.

[7:25 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "There's mutual using," Ryleigh adds, running her thumb over the back of Seir's hand.

[7:26 PM] Urrak: "An' it ain't like it's yer fault," she runs a hand through her hair, "No need t' apologize."

[7:51 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Just... be gentle. Gods know she's been through enough. I don't want her thinkin' she's gotta be out on the streets or somethin'. We're still friends--" She pauses and looks at the others. "Right?"

[7:54 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I don't live at the guildhall, but... she's welcome to stay - whatever her relationship status with Urrak is. Besides, she does give Danai someone to chat with while we're away."

[7:56 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods, "and Stool."

[7:57 PM] Urrak: "I'd never kick her out of th' hall," Urrak blurts out, "That'd jus' be cruel. She does a lot for us while we're away, not that her stay needs t' be validated. And she's helped me a great deal... Probably could still help me with all this... vampire business. "

[7:59 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I wasn't suggesting you would kick her out," Ryleigh says simply, not saying anything more.

[8:02 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "No, I just don't want her t'feel unwelcome. She and I get along all right, but I wasn't sure I wasn't the only one."

[8:04 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "I'm not sure I could trust her as far as I can throw her, but that's not as important when you're just talkin' friends."

[8:05 PM] Seirixori: Seir snickers, "I think you could throw her pretty far, *tor beag*."

[8:15 PM] DM: Gunnloda squeezes Seir's hands. "Maybe, but trust is important when it comes t'relationships like that, or this. And like she said, I'm not sure Malica even knows what's real or right most times. It'd be hard to build a partnership on that."

[8:16 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh continues to remain quiet.

[8:18 PM] Urrak: "It's somethin' wholly new t' her, trust. Maybe... Endin' what we have, an' startin' something less... intense might help her get used t' th' idea."

[8:26 PM] Seirixori: Seir nods, "Better now than," she motions to the dagger.

[8:28 PM] Urrak: Urrak looks down at the dagger in her hand. She slides it partially out of its sheath with her thumb and clicks it back in quickly, "Aye...Very much so."

[8:43 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Standing up, Ryleigh presses a kiss to the top of Seir's head. "I'm going to do a perimeter check before first watch starts."

[8:47 PM] Urrak: Urrak looks up as Ryleigh stands, "D'ye want company or are ye alright?"

[8:56 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: "I'll be okay," she says to Urrak.

8:55 PM] Seirixori: "Don't go touching anything and tell Rukiya I said hello."

[8:57 PM] Ryleigh Alastair: Ryleigh rolls her eyes at Seirixori's comment. "Alright, and you know I will." She walks into the forest
