"A few hours, no more; their attention wanders easily."

"I would appreciate returning to the town. Perhaps checking with Anya once she returns... something odd is going on here, in general. Although, I think that your missing employee is probably not involved in the general odd occurances I was hoping to find out about - sounds more like she got into a scrape with smugglers or somesuch. I hope you find her well. What do you plan next?"

She glances about the room. "So, tell me... where is your stronghold here located?" She asks, with the air of someone making idle conversation.

"My home? Ahh, in a place inaccessible except via the gates. Lets just say we are no longer in the world as you know it." He smiles warmly. "I like privacy and prefer to keep my people out of harms way. My people know this, and thus my wanting to find mt missing employee. So what next? Return to the home of our reluctant ally and see if there is something he has missed. Finding your friend would also be welcomed. The two do not seem related, but I hate coincedence, and mysterios happenings on the heels of powerful mysterious organisations shipping packages piques my curiosity. I think there is more here than meets the eye!"

Domina raises an eyebrow at Jesper's comment about not 'being in the world as you know it'. Hmm... interesting, that he is in town just now, with all that is happening....

"I agree. There is definately more here than meets the eye," Domina says sedately, quirking a smile as she reflected on the double meaning. "Perhaps another search of... our ally's... home may be in order, indeed." She drains her mug and sets it on a nearby table. "I am ready - whenever you are, of course - I do not mean to show disrespect of your hospitality." She smiles and leans back in the chair. Although I think that a return visit might need to be postponed until I know more about this 'simple trader'.

"A few hours, no more; their attention wanders easily."

"Very well then, I can wait. My name is Fairweather, by the way. I am a servant of nature, human by blood," she says politely, introducing herself.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"I am Osstraon; as you can see, servant of Father Ocean."

 

[Ghostknight]

Standing Jesper smiles at Domina.

"Then let us return to the portal and then to town."

He escorts her out the room and through the gardens. On the way through he quietly picks a rose.

"For you my lady, to remember your visit to my humble home."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"Osstraon, do you know of anything that may make your changed people be more reluctant to attack us? A kind of seaweed, or certain creature perhaps?" Fairweather asks, wracking her brain for anything she might know...

"Were they unchanged, I could give you a dozen ways, some herbal, some sorcerous, some linguistic. Alas, these monstrous creations seem to attack anything that moves, or conceals movement."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

"This may seem harsh, but are they still adverse to hurting themselves? If I take a form that makes them hurt to touch me, would they be more inclined to leave us alone?" Fairweather asks.

 

[Paxus Asclepius]

"I think if the form were painful to approach, they would be unlikely to do so, but I doubt they are rational enough to realize that if the others who struck you suffered pain, they will, too."
