Asha sighed, closed her eyes, and pinched the bridge of her nose lightly. Tala was pretty blatantly hussing it up right now. Well, if she wasn't going to, at least Asha could hold on to the dignity of the Blackstone name and not try to get into the pants of the first man she saw since setting out on the adventure. "My sister and I are not exactly alike. I am not nobility and I do not wish to be. I am merely a cleric, and that is all I aspire to be. My place is tending to the wounded. Nothing more." She shrugged. "And there are five of us. I have two elder sisters and one younger twin sister who are doubtless still residing at the family lands."

She turned to Tala. "I meant to ask. How is Kara doing? I assume well, since I would know had anything bad happened to her, but..." she trailed off. What she had really meant was 'how is her personality?'

Asha also waits.

[Dwarmin]

Tala turned to Asha after a moment, as if remembering where she was.

Her hand dipped to the hilt of her blade, though Tala was not actually cognizant of doing so. It was instinct. Asha probably noticed

"...Kara?

She's...become very motivated lately. I can't say what brought it on. But, she's gotten much more focused in her studies. Much more aggressive-a little scary even. She's alot faster than me right now....

Mother approved, of course. Says she's learned a valuable lesson-that if your enemies are afraid, you can end a fight before even drawing a blade. I said to that "But we're not enemies, we're sisters!"....and, like I said earlier, that's what made her mad enough to challenge me to a real duel. I think she was angry enough that she would have hurt me badly...

Well, when I left, Kara just kept on her training, and didn't even say goodbye to me. I usually don't like to leave open wounds like that, but what could I do..."

Before Rhett can speak, the guard calls out to the group.

"Well, if you wish, the four of you may stay at the Guardhouse until the meeting is over! You don't need to just stand around outside of the gate..."

You check on the progress of the Charging Crystal, but it hasn't gained a significant amount of energy compared to the last time you checked it.

Next, you check on the skeletons. They're doing a very sloppy, and slow job. Your bedroom is filled with large rocks, making it difficult, and possibly dangerous to traverse. But at least they're digging in the right spot.

"I see." Asha ran a hand through her hair. "That does sound just like her. I was hoping she would have calmed herself with age, but I suppose some people just can't change their nature." There was nothing for it. Doubtless if it had been Kara instead of Tala that had come to find her, it actually would have been for a fight. Her younger twin never had realized it took wisdom and compassion as well as strength to rule, and that no matter how well she could wield a blade she would never be chosen as the heir. Asha herself stood a much better chance despite her lack of martial training simply because she lacked ambition or desire to be the heir; she would rule their lands with her people's prosperity in mind rather than her own.

A guard called out to them, and she turned to look at him before focusing on the three with her. "Should we? Or should we, perhaps, head to the southern lands and see what they have to say on the matter?" she asked them quietly.

[Tiruin]

Upon hearing the Guard, followed by Asha, Feleris turned to give Rhett a look that said 'What do you think?' before adding his own suggestion while examining his bowstring. "I'm all in for a query on both sides, just hoping that they aren't as one-sided as most of what I know here. Pertaining to 'shoot-on-sight' if war is truly on the horizon. The feud between North and South has lasted for a longer time than I can remember, but I'd like to hear from the other side, before anything else. If me and Rhett could travel here from Wenevesenama in a fortnight, without stopping, then we can be there and back before the meeting is concluded."

[Dwarmin]

Tala was about to be distracted again when Asha caught her attention.

"Hmm. Sounds good.

And, with me and Asha at your sides, the Southern Elves are apt to have their tempers in check. They probably wouldn't risk harming me or her, and both of you by extension, for fear of bringing in Humans to the conflict. We could most likely get promise of safe passage.

Still, you might want to go cloaked or something, Sir Feleris. From what I've seen, Southern Elves are very different from your kind. They are a bit shorter, and usually prefer closely shaved hair, tattoos and more muscled bodies.

Yes, I notice things like that." She finished cheerily.

[Sinpwn]

A) Go outside with my two skeletons and head north.

[Tiruin]

Feleris

"I'm now pretty happy with the bodyguard role. Usually the stoic and non-talkative type, I guess. It would fit, as they may question my upbringing." Feleris added flatly.

"So are we all decided? South it is to Thelenawo?" he said, keeping his voice down for only the four of them and examining the reaction of each. This was going to be a promising venture, especially with two unique characters such as the two before him, and Rhett.

[Aninimouse]

~~~~~~~~~~Feleris~Valinar~&~Tala~Blackstone~&~Asha~Blackstone~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, we should move quickly then. We may be able to make it back to Wenevesenama before nightfall if we hurry." Rhett says, glancing up at what little sunlight escapes through the tree canopy.

A)Travel to the Southern Elven Lands

A)Begin to Climb the Mountain, traveling North

C)Travel to the South

[Dwarmin]

Tala actually clapped her hands.

"Yes, South it is, Feleris. We should hurry....

...Um, assuming you agree we should go, Asha...?" She asked, distractedly.

A)Travel to the Southern Elven Lands

[Tiruin]

Feleris

((Letting Asha or Tala decide  I'm alright with the A.))

"If you two have anything to buy or such, there is a marketplace just south of our position and near the walkway on the gnarled Oak. Two levels up and to the right. If you do decide to go there, I'll be waiting for you along with Rhett below.

Or we can just start now, walking has never killed anyone," Feleris said.

If Tala or Asha picks B and it doesn't go with travel, I read a book while waiting and twiddle my thumbs. Specifically {100 Varieties of Fungus and Their Uses}. If not, then A.

[Sinpwn]

B)

[Aninimouse]

~~~~~~~~~~Feleris~Valinar~&~Tala~Blackstone~&~Asha~Blackstone~~~~~~~~~~

((I'm guessing that with that last bit, Asha was up for either decision.))

The four of you travel back through the forests and to the Southern Elven Jungle, stopping just outside of the border. The sky is clear, and it's rather late in the day. The intense heat probably won't help you on the last leg of the journey, to Wenevesenama, but hopefully things will cool down once night falls.

The border is guarded, but no more than it was when Feleris first traveled into the Jungle.

You travel to the East, out into the forest again.

A)Travel to the North

[Tiruin]

Feleris

A. "Strange. Either the people here are lax in their duty, or the rumors of war was just a ruse. I'm betting on the latter," Feleris said, in a deeper tone just like what he thought his role to be. "I'm leaving the troubles of crossing the border to both of you."

Switch my {Cloak} to the {Traveller's Pack} and await their decision.

[Dwarmin]

Tala cleared her throat and stepped forward to address the border guards.

"Well met, border defenders. I and my Sister Asha, and two bodyguards are seeking entrance into your lands. As you can tell by my escutcheon, I hail from the Blackstone Noble Family-I have papers to prove as much, if you'd care to check them. On my honor, and the honor of my family, I and my retainers swear to cause no trouble while I am visiting your homeland.

...So, might we pass? It is getting quite late."
