Dawnguard War Room, Headquarters, Riverrun, Vyon

It's nearly winter, a week or so from the solstice and Xilyra's holy day, two days before King Ambrose's birthday. Riverrun's been decorating with evergreen boughs and blue ribbons in preparation for a celebration of the king's birth. The first snow of the season just fell, dusting the rooftops and trees, but not sticking on the ground for long.

There's been a lot of change and adjustments over the last few days. It's been your first real chance to unwind and deal with things at home, but your home is new... and kind of crowded. You've arranged for Tanjura, your new Majordomo, to hire staff who has filed in and made themselves at home and gotten to work.

You have a floor to yourselves for your individual or paired rooms and the staff rarely comes up there unless it's to clean or because they need someone's attention for something. The staff is cordial and offers greetings and acknowledgments, but mostly keep to themselves and defer to you. Another big change is that Ry and Rukiya have moved into the guildhall as well, instead of attaining another apartment.

Shopping was done, people relaxed, headed to temples or crafting halls, wandered about town. Gunnloda Sent to Eloise and learned that Seir's efforts to transport the Kinetas downtrodden to Bellbury have been continued, although slowly. The people in Kinetas don't exactly trust that when Moonstream guards come to ask for 'volunteers' to get on a boat and go half a country away to farm, they're being forthright. Those that have gone have done well and she thinks Bellbury might be on the road to recovery. Cae and Misha are still going on monthly field trips.

[1:26 PM] DM: She also Sent to Bliss and learned that Valris is working on farms and along with her own kids, she's been watching the few children left in Bellbury while their parents/guardians work.

Rukiya has been at the temple quite a bit doing research, along with Ryleigh and Seir on occasion. Yahya's there, still in training to be an acolyte, while his sister's been working as a laborer on the Riverfront, but she's been thinking about maybe being a guard at one of the adventurer's guilds.

Kendall visited for a couple days, but has since returned to Vatru. Gayle has gone off to tend to some personal business.

Seir has been working with Ry to try to get as close a physical representation of Clemency as possible to attempt a scry on her.

The War Room has been magically enchanted to ensure that no sound can escape the walls so long as the door is closed. It's furnished with a large table and chairs and a wall covered in maps of Vyon and Ascus that were ordered and retrieved by your staff.

After a stop at Donny's to pick up the gear they ordered before the trip to Alderrath, Ry and Rukiya walk into the War Room in matching purple armor- Ry's with silver metal and Rukiya's with dark leather.

[2:22 PM] Urrak: "Lookin' like a right cup an' tea kettle there, Ry. Very nice." Urrak tips a cup of coffee at the two. "I did some shoppin' as well," she motions to the new dagger on her chest. It's wickedly curved and in a red-leather sheath. "Ah, also," she motions to the top of her head, "Finally tamed th' beast." Her hair is cut in a crisp fade.

[2:26 PM] DM: Rukiya sits in a chair around the table. "How are you doing with everything, Urrak?"

[2:27 PM] Urrak: "Better. It's still a bit rough sometimes but I slept through th' night last night so, progress." she shrugs, "Thanks fer askin'. Yerself?"

[2:28 PM] DM: Rukiya: "Better."

[2:29 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh smiles at Urrak's comment, then sits next to Rukiya. She takes her hand when Urrak asks how she's doing.

[2:30 PM] Ryleigh: "The cut looks good," Ry says. "Did you go to Rukiya's place?"

[2:32 PM] Urrak: "Aye, I did. I didn't know there was a little Shetai here. It was really comfortin' t' see those aesthetics again. An' t' go t' a place that knows how t' style our hair." Urrak smiles, "Adhama is a lovely woman, an' very skilled."

[2:33 PM] DM: Rukiya: "She is... she practically took me in when I first came to Riverrun."

[2:36 PM] Seirixori: Seir walks in tugging at her new armor, it looks very similar in style and shape to her new clothes from Nero. "I cannot wait until I don't have to wear this," she grumbles, still a little annoyed by it. She looks up and stops as she looks around, giving a nod to Urrak at the haircut and tilts her head at Ry and Rukiya, "Well that's--" she grins, and it's noticeable that she wants to say something else, "fancy."

[2:37 PM] Ryleigh: Ry rolls her eyes at Seir.

[2:37 PM] DM: Gunnloda: "Y'didn't have t'be in armor for a meetin'."

[2:38 PM] Seirixori: "I figured I needed to get used to it... I still don't like it."

[2:38 PM] Urrak: "Jus' wait till yer sleepin' in it"

[2:39 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia yawns and ambles in. "Are you all dressed for some special occasion? Did I miss the notice?"

[2:40 PM] Urrak: Urrak looks down at herself, "Honestly? Force o' habit, I guess."

[2:41 PM] Ryleigh: "We just wanted to match," Ry says dryly, motioning between her and Rukiya.

[2:44 PM] Brimeia: "Make sure everyone knows you're together?" Brimeia laughs and wiggles her eyebrows teasingly.

[2:46 PM] DM: Rukiya quirks an eyebrow. "Be careful or we'll have to have a guild uniform."

[2:47 PM] Seirixori: Seir looks slightly horrified.

[2:47 PM] Ryleigh: "Guild uniforms... that's a good idea." Ry taps her chin in thought, playing along.

[2:47 PM] Brimeia: "What for?"

[2:48 PM] Seirixori: "Don't put me in more clothes!"

[2:49 PM] DM: Rukiya giggles.

[2:50 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh laughs too, shaking her head. "I'm joking."

[2:50 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia lets out a breath and looks relieved. "Thank goodness."

[2:51 PM] Urrak: "I dunno, I look good in purple," Urrak smirks

[2:51 PM] Ryleigh: "You didn't miss any memo, Brimeia. Rukiya and I just picked up our armor and I wanted to be sure everything fit and worked the way I hoped before we hit the road."

[2:55 PM] Seirixori: Seir pulls out a wooden stick with pearl inlays. "I got the thing I needed for scrying if you wanted to do that." She's excited, more so about the item than the topic.

[2:56 PM] Urrak: Urrak whistles, "Fancy stick ye got there."

[2:57 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh lets out a long breath, and when she speaks, it's to everyone. "I made a comment when we got back that I'd like to find my sister. Assuming she's still alive." Ry worries her lip.

[2:58 PM] Ryleigh: "Seirixori can possibly find her using the same spell we used to locate Malica."

[2:58 PM] Urrak: "Do ye have somethin' of hers?" Urrak asks

[2:59 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia's about to comment on the stick when she hears Ry speak up. "Possibly?"

[3:00 PM] Ryleigh: "Sort of," Ry answers Urrak, looking uncomfortable.

[3:00 PM] Seirixori: "There's a chance it doesn't work. Or something blocks it," Seir shrugs. "I don't know her. But I do know what she looks like now, as best as I could get anyway. And that helps too."

[3:02 PM] Urrak: Urrak nods, "Here's hopin'."

[3:03 PM] DM: Rukiya squeezes Ry's hand.

[3:04 PM] Brimeia: "Well, won't know until we give it a go, right?"

[3:07 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh reaches into the bag of holding. She pulls out a small box. When she opens it there's a silver band bracelet inside, along with a large deep blue sweater. But she moves her hand around the box and pulls out a piece of paper that looks like it's been read a million times and is damn near falling apart. She carefully hands the paper over to Seir. "This is all I have from her."

[3:09 PM] Seirixori: Seir takes it gently. She then tilts her head and steps closer to whisper something to her.

[3:12 PM] Ryleigh: Her eyes widen, like 'duh', and she reaches into her armor to withdraw a handkerchief. She hands that over to Seir too.

[3:17 PM] Seirixori: Seir quickly gives Ry a kiss to the cheek before she sits down. She sets the stick on the table. She starts to put the items next to it as well but stops and holds on to them. "Donny told me this was safe, but just in case..." When she activates the stick it pops open and is now in the shape of an 'X'. "...this is going to take a few minutes," she mutters as she starts the spell.

[3:18 PM] DM: Your spell DC?

[3:19 PM] Seirixori: ((16))

[3:21 PM] DM: Purple flames flare up over the stick, but extinguish themselves almost immediately.

[3:21 PM] Ryleigh: Ry's brows furrow, and she's frowning.

[3:23 PM] Urrak: "Well, we can always go back t' th' temple, right?" Urrak offers

[3:25 PM] Seirixori: Seir huffs, annoyed, "I can try again tomorrow." Her eyes stare at the stick a moment before she sets Clemency's things aside and closes her eyes, starting the spell again. She looks determined but is also very clearly nervous this time around.

[3:27 PM] DM: The fire flares up again, but this time stays in place.

[3:31 PM] Seirixori: Seir clears her throat once the fire fades, a little teary eyed, but not upset. "S-sorry I, uh, I figured I might as well try my Mama too."

[3:32 PM] Ryleigh: "Yeah, of course," Ry says absentmindedly.

[3:33 PM] Ryleigh: "I'd rather we not waste the funds to go to the temple. What's one more day?"

[3:34 PM] DM: Rukiya squeezes her hand again. "In the meantime--"

She's interrupted by a knock at the door.

[3:35 PM] Seirixori: ((is the door locked? lmao))

[3:35 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia turns to look curiously at the door.

[3:36 PM] DM: It is not, but it is typically standard for War Room doors to not be opened by the staff in case there's sensitive information being discussed or visible.

[3:38 PM] Seirixori: Seir stifles a laugh and her hand comes briefly off the table. After a brief pause she sighs she drops it and instead says, "...It's open...?"

[3:38 PM] DM: Nobody outside can hear anything inside if the door is shut.

[3:39 PM] Seirixori: Seir waits and then jumps up, "Oh, I forgot." She moves to open the door.

[3:40 PM] DM: Tanjura's standing on the other side of it with a human in Ebedine wizard's robes. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to interrupt, but this young man would like to discuss membership with you."

[3:41 PM] DM: Those of you who would remember such things might recognize him as one of the kids you met on the Spine a couple months ago.

[3:42 PM] Seirixori: "Oh Hey, you're one of the- the... did you guys have a name?"

[3:42 PM] Ryleigh: Ry smiles when she sees him.

[3:43 PM] DM: He grins. "Forest Dragons. Not a great name, admittedly."

[3:43 PM] Ryleigh: "You made it Riverrun. Where are your friends?" Ry asks, getting up and walking towards the door.

[3:44 PM] Seirixori: "It's a great name!" She moves aside to let him in and enthusiastically thanks and greets Tanjura.

[3:45 PM] DM: Tanjura nods and excuses herself while the kid steps inside. "They're around. They don't exactly approve of me coming here for anything but a social call."

[3:46 PM] Ryleigh: "Why's that?" Ry asks. "We said if you came to Riverrun and needed something to ask for the Dawnguard."

[3:50 PM] DM: He shrugs. "We're not really... cut out for the bureaucracy of being a guild. I wanted to see if we could join someone else's and do the adventuring while they handle the other stuff... but Alviva thinks it's not The Right Way and Tori doesn't like the idea of being beholden to someone else."

[3:52 PM] Urrak: "'Beholden's' quite th' strong word. Ye'd be no more 'beholden' t' us than a shopkeep is t' th' business owner," Urrak quirks an eyebrow

[3:52 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia makes a confused frown.

[3:53 PM] DM: "I mean... it's not my feelings."

[3:56 PM] Brimeia: "The right way to do what?"

[3:56 PM] DM: "She thinks it's cheating."

[3:56 PM] Ryleigh: "Ah," Ry says, nodding her head. "I'm not sure we did things the 'right' way." She puts her hand on his shoulder. "Being a part of a guild is about friendship, and family. Yes, it's also a job, and it's a dangerous one. We didn't set off for adventure, or glory. We all sort of... found ourselves together in a situation that required we work together. Over time we've forged friendships, and have a found family. If that's something you and the others want... then would you like one of us to come talk to them?"

[3:56 PM] Seirixori: "...Cheating to-to ask for help?"

[3:58 PM] Seirixori: Seir snorts a little at Ry's words, "More like randomly teleported into and forced at first."

[3:58 PM] DM: You can see he kind of relaxes when Ry speaks. "That would be awesome... I mean, assuming that it'd be ok if we joined you. Dawnguard is a way cooler name than Forest Dragons."

[3:59 PM] Brimeia: Brimeia laughs. "Yeah, most of us probably wouldn't have chosen to be together at first, but we've weathered a lot together. And the more the merrier!"

[4:00 PM] Seirixori: Seir briefly raises her hand, "I still like Forest Dragons."

[4:02 PM] DM: "Do-do you want me to have them gather at our place or tell them to come here or somewhere else?"

[4:03 PM] Seirixori: "I don't see why they couldn't come here? Might be better so they can see it. And there is so much room."

[4:04 PM] Urrak: "Aye, send 'em over."

[4:05 PM] DM: He grins again. "I'll go find them. Thank you! Bear is so much cooler than Wolf."

[4:06 PM] Seirixori: "I know what he means, but I still want to say no," Seir whispers to Gunnloda.

[4:07 PM] Brimeia: "Hmm, should we be, I dunno, preparing something?" Brimeia scratches at her chin.

[4:07 PM] Ryleigh: "Why don't we go chat with Tanjura before you rush off to grab your friends - okay?"

[4:07 PM] DM: "Ok."

[4:09 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh blows a kiss to Rukiya, and walks out with the boy.

## Ry, Ivo, and Tanjura

4:14 PM] DM: Tanjura's in the main common room, looking through some paperwork.

[4:15 PM] Ryleigh: "I'm sorry to interrupt Tanjura, but can I have a few minutes of your time?"

[4:16 PM] DM: "Of course. Has Mr. Pekham made his case successfully?" she smiles.

[4:19 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh smiles too. "We met him and his friends along the Spine when we traveled to Ascus to find the moonborn. I told him that if they made it to Riverrun to stop by Dawnguard, so here he is. I was wondering if we had need for more adventurers? I think he and his friends would be a good fit for our guild. They're young, and eager to learn, but don't have to prowess to start their own guild."

[4:23 PM] DM: "We still have room if we would like to expand. It's actually quite common for larger guilds to take on smaller, less accomplished ones. It opens you up for more contract diversity and offers more monetary inflow. If it's something you'd like to do, I can absolutely get them started."

[4:28 PM] Ryleigh: "Considering many of the missions we take aren't missions we get paid for it might be something we need to do. We have people who are depending on us now more than ever."

[4:31 PM] DM: Tanjura: "I'll get the paperwork ready."

[4:33 PM] Ryleigh: "Thanks so much," Ry says to Tanjura, then she holds her hand out to the boy. "I'm Ryleigh. Why don't you go grab your friends, and I'll be more than happy to talk with them about all of this."

[4:34 PM] DM: "Ivo. Ivo Pekham, if I-- I didn't say that before, did I? I'll be back as soon as I can."

[4:35 PM] Ryleigh: "See you soon, Ivo." Ry watches him leave, then head back to the war room.

[4:36 PM] DM: He leaves!

## Back to Group

[4:16 PM] DM: Rukiya: "Is there anything that needs to be added to my list of research topics in the meantime?"

[4:17 PM] DM: Rukiya: "I have some new information, but it might be better to wait to discuss it until Ry's back."

[4:18 PM] Seirixori: Seir laughs, "Only if you can actually find out anything about someone who I think is in Ardabeh. Though I think I might have mentioned that already?" Seir says, slightly distracted, doodling in one of her books.

[4:18 PM] Brimeia: "I haven't got anything. Although.. Well, that should probably wait until Ryleigh's back too. And when we don't have guests."

[4:19 PM] DM: Rukiya: "This room's enchanted so nothing we say in here can be heard by anyone else. Having guests shouldn't be an issue unless they're in here with us."

[4:20 PM] Brimeia: "Right. Ok, when Ryleigh's back in here then."

[4:27 PM] Seirixori: Seir takes off Gunnloda's crest and sets it next to her book, studying it and then glancing at Gunnloda's holy symbol. She mumbles something about hammers or no hammers. After a moment of scratching something out she looks up, "Hey do we... do we have like a- a symbol? For us? ...Maybe I can start with that. 'Start small' he says, pff." Even though she asked the question aloud, she's still mostly talking to herself.

[4:30 PM] Brimeia: "Ooo you gonna draw us one? What're gonna put in it?"

[4:33 PM] DM: Rukiya stands and looks at a wall near the maps where several pieces of paper have been pinned, some with pieces of string that connect each other.

[4:33 PM] Seirixori: "Hm?" Seir finishes something and looks up, "I-I don't know? That's why I asked."

[4:34 PM] DM: Rukiya: "Seirixori, you said you were checking on your mom? Any news?"

[4:36 PM] Seirixori: She shakes her head, "No. I- well, I have a feeling every time I look in on her it won't be her." she sighs. "She was working, I think. But... she's-she looks to be okay at least."

[4:38 PM] Ryleigh: Ryleigh opens the door to the war room. "Sorry, I guess I could have just sent for Tanjura." She scratches her neck.

[4:39 PM] Brimeia: "It's alright. It's all still new for everyone."

[4:39 PM] DM: Rukiya sticks a new piece of paper up and ties a string, then turns and smiles. "I think Brimeia was going to share news."

[4:40 PM] Urrak: "News?" Urrak perks up

[4:41 PM] Brimeia: "It's probably nothing, but I haven't been hearing as much from my voice in my head. And when she does, it's not as.. angry and frantic like she'd been."

[4:41 PM] Brimeia: "Just thought I should let you all know."

[4:42 PM] Urrak: "Considerin' th' last time really heard about her headmate was her carving her name into yer face, it's a bit more than nothin'. I'd be real cautious. She might be tryin' t' get ye back on her side." Urrak folds her arms.

[4:44 PM] Seirixori: Seir frowns, "I don't think that's... I doubt she'd do that. She doesn't need to..."

[4:45 PM] Seirixori: "Get Brimeia on her side that is, she already owns Brimeia. I'm glad she isn't telling you to do things but..."

[4:45 PM] Ryleigh: "Her silence is worrisome," Ry finishes for Seir.

[4:47 PM] DM: Rukiya frowns and thinks for a minute.

[4:47 PM] Brimeia: "Yeah, I know I should be glad to have a break, but ... I'm nervous."

[4:47 PM] Ryleigh: "What is it?" Ry asks Rukiya, tilting her head.

[4:48 PM] Brimeia: "She was really intense about threatening me with all the terrible things she'd do to everyone if I didn't .. 'feed' her or whatever."

[4:49 PM] DM: Rukiya: "Just trying to figure out what it means. Possibly that she's too busy to check in, but it'd have to be something that she can't use Brimeia for."

[4:52 PM] Ryleigh: "Maybe. Whatever it is... it worries me. Has there been any word on deciphering the contract?"

[4:58 PM] DM: Rukiya: "They're getting closer to understanding the full extent, but for now, what I've got is... not much more than what we had. There's a way to void the contract, but to do so would require the devil who made the deal, an archdevil, or the other original signer to... destroy the original contract, which is not the one we have."

[4:59 PM] Ryleigh: Ry sighs. "I'm not looking forward to going back to the hells."

[5:00 PM] Urrak: "Nor am I t' goin' fer th' first time." Urrak frowns, "Fuckin' contracts..."

[5:02 PM] Seirixori: "We've been invited to a thing by a King, now we have to go to the hells. Next we'll be traveling to wherever the gods are because hey, why not at this point."

[5:03 PM] Brimeia: "Why not," Brimeia agrees with a chuckle, appreciating the humor.

[5:04 PM] Urrak: "Might as well cross another plane of existence off th' bucket list." Urrak smiles and shakes her head

[5:04 PM] DM: "Funny you should say that," Rukiya says quietly. "What I was going to mention earlier is that I may have another lead on... god things. Or more accurately, a connection between two previously unrelated things."

[5:05 PM] Brimeia: "Should I, uh, cover my ears or something?"

[5:06 PM] Brimeia: "Or step outside the room, I guess."

[5:06 PM] Seirixori: Seir snorts and chuckles at Rukiya's words, "Of course."

[5:08 PM] Seirixori: "Does not hearing things from outside also include crazy devil's in head spaces?"

[5:08 PM] DM: Rukiya: "No, and it doesn't stop scrying."

[5:08 PM] Ryleigh: "I think it'd be best if you did, Brimeia," Ry says, a small frown on her face.

[5:09 PM] Brimeia: "I'll... go to the rooms or something, just to be extra safe." She gives a small smile and leaves.

[5:11 PM] DM: Rukiya: "We know that places on the Material Plane are affected when gods are killed, like Aella in the Misty Wilds, and the elf god whose name has been forgotten in the Fytulk..."

[5:14 PM] DM: "But the Fytulk was also subject to the Decimation and I think there might be a connection between those two things. When the people of Ascus were at war with the elves, I think that they tried to make a new elf god... and it went wrong. I'm still missing some pieces of the puzzle, so I'm not entirely sure what happened or why, but it might not be something I can finish researching here."

[5:14 PM] Seirixori: "...would you have to go there?"

[5:15 PM] Ryleigh: "The Fytulk is massive though... where would we even start?"

[5:16 PM] DM: "If I'm right, the Walkers might be an option, assuming we can get them to talk to us. The scholars at Arolis could have history that goes back that far, but I'm sure it would be hard to access."

[5:17 PM] DM: She looks at Ryleigh. "The Walkers have been looking for their missing homeland in the Fytulk for thousands of years. Either the Fytulk is actively hiding it or it's not there, but we won't find it wandering around."

[5:17 PM] Seirixori: "Uh... Takara did tell me that Moki is there, currently."

[5:18 PM] DM: "Did she say why?"

[5:20 PM] Ryleigh: "We could ask Cae unless she's unwilling to tell us... or I might still have an ally we can ask."

[5:21 PM] Seirixori: "Something about the Shadowfell seeping into this plane."

[5:24 PM] Urrak: "That sounds...less than ideal," Urrak frowns

[5:25 PM] DM: Rukiya's brows pull together. "That... could be an issue. The Fytulk is already dangerous as it is. It doesn't really need shadow creatures to be added to it."

[5:26 PM] DM: "Wait, isn't that where your revenant was made, Ry? Maybe that's why it was so... weird."

[5:27 PM] Seirixori: "The," Seir says something in druidic because she still can't remember the common word for the tree things, "weren't normal either."

[5:29 PM] DM: "I was thinking that we were going to have reason to head south for Clemency and this extra research could be something we did while we were there.... but if we don't know Clemency's status, that's now less certain."

[5:31 PM] Seirixori: "Is there any problem in heading there anyway? It will take us time and I can try every day until I get something."

[5:31 PM] Ryleigh: Ry nods when Rukiya asks about the revenant.

[5:32 PM] Seirixori: "Unless someone else has anything else that won't take long before we do that?" Her hand automatically goes to where her mark is, but she removes it quickly.

[5:32 PM] Urrak: Urrak shakes her head

[5:34 PM] DM: Gunnloda rests her hand on Seir's thigh.

[5:37 PM] Ryleigh: Catching the movement of Seir's hand, Ry says, "If you're unsuccessful in finding Clemency tomorrow... I suppose we could do that instead..."

[5:39 PM] Seirixori: "I-it would take at least four days to do and--" she stops, mostly to stop from talking herself out of it.

[5:42 PM] Ryleigh: "Why would it take so long?" Ry asks. "Removing your mark should be simple for Mielikki."

[5:44 PM] Seirixori: Seir shifts, gripping Gunnloda's hand, "B-because I want to go get Mama."

[5:46 PM] Ryleigh: "How are you planning to do that?"

[5:47 PM] Ryleigh: As Ry asks, she gets up and pokes her head out of the war room to ask one of the staff to go get Bri.

[5:50 PM] Seirixori: Seir starts to chew on her lip, "I-I wanted to either ask Aria to help or send you- whoever wanted to go, to-to Shasem and wait. Then I'd go ask Mielikki to remove it and have Gunnloda send to Mama to meet you guys- or Aria- somewhere and then-and then I'd meet you guys and we-we could come back the next day." she pauses, "Oh... no, it'd be a whole week."

[5:51 PM] Brimeia: Bri re-enters shortly after.

[5:52 PM] Brimeia: "Shasem? I know my way around," she offers with a shrug.

[5:52 PM] Brimeia: "You mounting a rescue or something?"

[5:55 PM] Ryleigh: "Seirixori... I know you're scared because you thought you lost her once before, but you more than anyone here knows how capable she is. What is it that's stopping you from having Mielikki remove the mark, then sending to her. Her memory returning isn't going to put her in anymore danger than when we suddenly showed up in Shasem."

[6:00 PM] Seirixori: "Because I need to see her!" Seir nearly shouts. "I want her here. I need to- I need to make sure she'll be- that I can- that I won't be worried every single second that I won't see her again because she isn't under someone's control anymore!"

[6:01 PM] Brimeia: Bri gives Seir a sympathetic look.

[6:02 PM] Urrak: Urrak rubs a hand along her own bicep, "We'll get her back, Seirixori."

[6:05 PM] Ryleigh: "I understand," Ry says softly. "But what's best for her? Your mom is an assassin, homashoc. She's capable and cunning and deadly. At least if her memory of you returns she can choose when and how to get away."

[6:10 PM] Seirixori: Seir crosses her arms and grits her teeth, unsure of how to answer.

[6:16 PM] Urrak: "Well, what is it we can do t'day t' help move either of yer plans forward?" Urrak offers

[6:19 PM] Ryleigh: “There’s nothing more we can do until we have some idea where Clemency is... or if she’s alive.” Ry stands from the table, her face full of empathy as she collects the handkerchief and crumbled piece of paper. She tucks the paper away in the box and the handkerchief into her armor.

[6:21 PM] Urrak: "An' yer sure about not utilizin' th' temple?"
