HF 036 Rune and Taeral

[12/9/16, 7:51:19 PM] Josh: You guys stand in the sort of stable area, I'd wager.

[12/9/16, 7:51:34 PM] Josh: Taeral shivers.  "A bit cold without undergarments."

[12/9/16, 7:52:09 PM] Rune: Sorry, I usually just wear more robes in the winter.

[12/9/16, 7:52:47 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Autumn's coming early this year.  It's usually not this cold yet."

[12/9/16, 7:52:58 PM] Rune: Well tell me whatever it was you were going to say.

[12/9/16, 7:53:04 PM] Rune: Where are you leaving to?

[12/9/16, 7:53:36 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...I am planning on building a new lab, out of town.  Recollect any of my old affects I can find and set-up where the Guild won't know I exist."

[12/9/16, 7:53:48 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...and I want you to find me when I do."

[12/9/16, 7:54:39 PM] Josh: Taeral: "I've ignored your training and I cannot do that any longer."

[12/9/16, 7:55:05 PM] Rune: Oh, all right. ... I don't think you've ignored it, we've just been busy, that's all.

[12/9/16, 7:55:57 PM] Josh: Taeral: "I won't be telling you where I will set-up.  I want you to practice the mirror spell again.  This time, see if you can find me with it, even outside of the city walls."

[12/9/16, 7:56:15 PM] Josh: Taeral: "When you can, teleport to me, and we can continue from there."

[12/9/16, 7:56:25 PM] Rune: All right.

[12/9/16, 7:56:42 PM] Rune: Leni sniffles, and cries into her handkerchief a little bit.

[12/9/16, 7:57:11 PM] Josh: Taeral hugs her.

[12/9/16, 7:57:18 PM] Josh: Taeral: "This is not goodbye."

[12/9/16, 7:57:45 PM] Rune: Leni bawls on him. "I'm used to having you around ALL THE TIME, so yes it IS."

[12/9/16, 7:58:03 PM] Josh: Taeral: "I wasn't going to live in a staff forever."

[12/9/16, 7:58:33 PM] Rune: I know! And I'm GLAD you're not stuck in there anymore, but I'm not glad you're leaving.

[12/9/16, 7:59:04 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...I know.  I am sorry."

[12/9/16, 7:59:44 PM] Josh: Taeral: "If the guild finds me, after I was already declared dead and my body processed, it will be considered necromancy, and I will, at best, be taken by the Witch Hunters."

[12/9/16, 7:59:55 PM] Josh: Taeral: "If I stay, you could be implicated."

[12/9/16, 8:00:51 PM] Rune: William knows what happened, it's not exactly illicit when the guard knows! Besides, it wasn't YOUR necromancy.

[12/9/16, 8:02:03 PM] Josh: Taeral: "The guard, the guild and the witch hunters aren't the same thing.  I imagine if the Hunters knew half the things William allowed, he'd be killed himself and the guard completely reworked."

[12/9/16, 8:02:15 PM] Josh: Taeral: "But...that's not the only reason."

[12/9/16, 8:02:57 PM] Rune: Leni sniffles.

[12/9/16, 8:03:16 PM] Josh: Taeral: "You turned a simple scrying spell into something capable of transporting yourself through dimensions.  That is so beyond you and the spell...I think there's potential in you.  And I think I can be the best motivation you have to push it."

[12/9/16, 8:03:47 PM] Rune: I didn't do it. And if I did, it was a mistake. A very bad mistake.

[12/9/16, 8:04:12 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Mistakes are successes you didn't know you were capable of."

[12/9/16, 8:04:34 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...that was stupid, but my point is, I think you aren't giving yourself enough credit."

[12/9/16, 8:05:33 PM] Rune: Wizards aren't supposed to make mistakes like that. That's how you end up with extra fire planes that used to be temperate forests dotted with cities.

[12/9/16, 8:06:36 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...a valid point, but still...I think this is a good starting point."

[12/9/16, 8:08:32 PM] Rune: Leni sighs.

[12/9/16, 8:08:38 PM] Rune: Are you sure you have to go?

[12/9/16, 8:09:11 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Yes.  Besides, you and your boyfriend should have some more time alone."

[12/9/16, 8:09:26 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Give yourselves some space."

[12/9/16, 8:10:15 PM] Rune: Leni sniffles.

[12/9/16, 8:10:21 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...is this robe riding up?  I feel like I'm presenting my ass to the world.  And I am definitely showing too much ankle."

[12/9/16, 8:10:30 PM] Rune: I don't want THAT much time alone.

[12/9/16, 8:10:55 PM] Rune: I don't think so. I'm taller than you anyway, I'm surprised.... oh, it's one of those ones.

[12/9/16, 8:11:18 PM] Rune: I couldn't wear that one, it didn't cover enough up.

[12/9/16, 8:11:48 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Nonsense.  You can pull it off."

[12/9/16, 8:12:40 PM] Josh: Taeral: "You don't have a giant ass."

[12/9/16, 8:13:09 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Anyway, once you find me, we shall begin some real work, and trust me, you'll get sick of me right quick."

[12/9/16, 8:13:49 PM] Rune: I don't have a figure at all.

[12/9/16, 8:14:08 PM] Rune: And I can't possibly get sick of you. It's actually impossible. I love you.

[12/9/16, 8:15:07 PM] Josh: Taeral: "I love you to.  You're like the sister I never had.  ...But trust me.  When I'm not in a staff, I am far less sufferable."

[12/9/16, 8:16:53 PM] Rune: That's just a silly thing to say.

[12/9/16, 8:16:57 PM] Rune: Leni hugs him tightly.

[12/9/16, 8:17:18 PM] Josh: He hugs her back.

[12/9/16, 8:17:52 PM] Josh: Taeral: "...you know...if I leave the hood up, I can probably go unnoticed.  How about we spend the day together before the parade?"

[12/9/16, 8:18:21 PM] Rune: Yes, please. I AM glad you're not stuck in there any more.

[12/9/16, 8:18:30 PM] Rune: It would be awfully claustrophobic.

[12/9/16, 8:19:04 PM] Josh: Taeral: "It wasn't, actually.  It does give one a sense of their own fragility and powerlessness, though."

[12/9/16, 8:20:07 PM] Rune: To be fair you were never totally powerless. You had some magic left. ... still awful though.

[12/9/16, 8:20:23 PM] Josh: Taeral: "I was able to light up."

[12/9/16, 8:20:43 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Not exactly what I call magic."

[12/9/16, 8:21:34 PM] Rune: Well, no.

[12/9/16, 8:21:58 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Let's get inside.  I have no shoes and, like I said, I...feel a bit of a draft...up there."

[12/9/16, 8:22:01 PM] Rune: You'd better go and get some new clothes, though. Take however much you need out of the cash drawer.

[12/9/16, 8:22:14 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Yes, I really do."

[12/9/16, 8:22:28 PM] Josh: Taeral: "Thank you."

[12/9/16, 8:22:35 PM] Rune: Gerald might be able to fix you up some slippers at least.

[12/9/16, 8:27:58 PM] Josh: Taeral guides you back inside.  "Maybe.  I shall ask, before I go."

[12/9/16, 8:28:11 PM] Rune: Leni sniffles.
