[Silthuri]

Ayleth lingers behind, staring at the ruins. With an annoyed sigh she follows the others, but she keeps her distance from Ness.

[Nerjin]

"It'll stop Ness. Though I honestly can't see what the issue is. It really is an appealing place. But for now we'll leave. Back to the boat for days on end."

[Flying Dice]

Beolas says nothing, following the others silently with occasional glances over his shoulder.

[Dwarmin]

Relic seems a bit hesitant to add, but eventually her own emotions compel her to.

"Don't worry, Nest. Fear is behind us...it's not going anywhere. We can sail away from the horizon and...dream it away."

She pauses and looks back, only once.

"I'm coming back one day, though...I'll make an end to it. One day, I'll be stronger and braver and...I'll do something about it..." she says quietly.

[Nerjin]

"Sure. In the mean-time you should work on saying Ness properly."

[Dwarmin]

"Sure. In the mean-time you should work on saying Ness properly."

"I am saying it properly." She replies, confused.

[Nerjin]

"No. You're saying Nest. It's Ness. S. S-s-s. Not St. S. Not St. Ness. Ness. Ness. Not Nest."

[Dwarmin]

Relic seems truly puzzled.

"Ne-s-s-s-t. Neeees...t.

N-e-e-e-s...t

I don't understand the difference." It seems, by unconscious inflection, Relic will always make a sort of T sound when she rolls her s's...

[Nerjin]

"I... Good job. You got it right that last time. Just... Let's get off this island. No point sticking around here."

[Rolepgeek]

Darwyn attempted a comforting pat on the bard's shoulder.

"We'll get the voices to stop Ness, don't you worry. If distance from this place won't do it, then surely magic will silence them." A thought struck him. "Or maybe...Ness, haven't you been talking about becoming a knight, like in the old stories?"

"W-what about it? D-do you think that might h-help?"

[Sirus]

"Well, I'm thinking that maybe, some day, you'll come back as a knight and won't be afraid of it anymore. In fact, maybe the place will be afraid of you."

[Tawa]

---Back at the Ship---

It is perhaps half between noon and dusk. None of you can actually feel the influence of the ruins anymore, but the way you felt about it seems to have had a permanent effect on your thoughts about the island. Otherwise, everything is as calm as when you came.

The wind blows southeast.

[Flying Dice]

With the wind. Get some sleep.

[Nerjin]

With the wind. Get some sleep.
