When Felix reveals he is a priest rather than an arcanist, Caramip is visibly surprised.

"Well then, goodness gracious me, I never suspected. What temple did you learn at?" she asks.

She also seems intensely interested when Felix called Roxanne on showing her summoned weapon.

"It does sound fascinating dearie, and you can't expect a couple of blatent intellectuals to just ignore some potiential new knowledge, can you?"

Roxanne's brow furrows and a frown flashes across her face before dissapearing as she speaks. "Unfortunately, your curiosity will have to wait. And even if I did show you, I would be unable to teach you the spell. It is a family tradition, passed down from parents to children only and I am honor bound not to share it with any others. My apologies." Roxanne says with a look of sadness in her eyes.

Frak! They just couldn't let it go. And I was enjoying having a real conversation with other people too. You silly girl, haven't you realised yet that such simple things aren't a part of your life anymore? Now get the hell outta here before things go any further and you end up in a cell!

Rising to her feet, Roxanne leaves the uneaten starfruit laying on the table. Holding her half eaten pear in her left hand, she lays a hand on Jenna's shoulder as she speaks, "Well, the day is getting on rapidly and I must be on my way. Many miles to cover before the day is through and all that. Thanks to you all for the interesting conversation though. It was very nice to meet all of you, especially you Jenna. I enjoyed the morning a great deal more than I expected when I woke up. Farewell to all of you." Stepping away from the table, Roxanne turns to leave with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Caramip looks startled by the young woman's sudden move to depart.

"Roxanne, child, there's no need to get defensive. If your secrets are so sacred to you, then I suppose you won't tell us, and that's that for now. We just wanted to see something unique in action, and you can't blame us for that, now can you?" she says reasonably. Quork grabs Limbo and hops over to Roxanne's shoulder, offering her the slice of starfruit as a gift.

Jenna reaches up as Roxanne turns to leave and grabs her forearm. Not with enough strength to really restrain her if she wants to pull away, but with enough pressure to assure her that she doesn’t want her to leave.

“You don’t have to leave Roxanne. I’m certain that everyone here is gracious enough to respect that you would like privacy on that subject. If that isn’t the case, then we can find another table to have breakfast,” her tone of voice is calm, yet bristling.

She looks to Felix and smiles, “But I’m sure that is the case. People who are kind enough to offer a table to two ladies who need a place to sit are also considerate enough to let this little matter drop, I’m certain.”

She releases Roxanne’s arm and looks up at her, “You don’t really have to run off just yet, do you? You haven’t even tried the starfruit. Quork just ruined what I am sure is a very important part of the cosmos to give you the chance to try it.” Her eyes twinkle, hedging between amused mirth at the raven’s effort or perhaps tears at the idea of Roxanne being driven away. It’s hard to say which.

She peels off a slice of her own starfruit and replaces the piece in the spot where Limbo was on the table. She tries to catch Hedowin’s eye as she does so, her own eyes still sparkling with emotion, “Is this the right place?”

Everyone please roll spot checks and initiative.


On the map, orange circles are tables and brown rectangles are stands. Everything else is a building, pavement or dirt (tan).

OOC: Init 1d20+2=14, and Spot check 1d20+4=24

Roxanne turns to see the look in Jenna's eyes and hears the tone in her voice as she speaks to the others. “You don’t have to leave Roxanne. I’m certain that everyone here is gracious enough to respect that you would like privacy on that subject. If that isn’t the case, then we can find another table to have breakfast,” her tone of voice is calm, yet bristling.

She looks to Felix and smiles, “But I’m sure that is the case. People who are kind enough to offer a table to two ladies who need a place to sit are also considerate enough to let this little matter drop, I’m certain.”

Roxanne places her other hand over Jenna's and whispers "Thank you..." so quietly that only Jenna and the wind can hear it. Jenna's hand feels so warm under hers, she squeezes it gently but firmly before continuing quietly mostly to Jenna but loud enough that others could hear as well. "I don't want to go really, but its for the best that I do... oh gods! Now you've got me started..." Roxanne says with trembling lips. Turning her head reflexivly so the others don't see she wipes the sudden torrent of tears away. Wishing there was something that would make this easier, Roxanne opens her eyes again and happens to spot...

Felix looks apologetically at Roxanne, smiling sheepishly. "Forgive me, Roxanne. I did not mean to pry. I suppose that my natural curiosity occasionally asserts itself over my manners - I shall be sure not to press the matter further." His thoughts are his own, however. We are not finished with this matter yet. What are you hiding, Roxanne?... He turns to Jenna as well, addressing the two of them. "I sincerely hope that I have not driven you elsewhere! Please, stay, I implore you! We haven't even begun to discuss the possibilities of extraplanar anomalies taking place on the Mat..." Felix stops short, as out of the corners of his eyes, something catches his attention. It turns out to be...

[sblock=OOC]My checks are Spot 1d20+2=22 (lucky!) and Initiative 1d20+0=9 (not so lucky). Here's the proof. http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=1356012[/sblock]

Hedowin, Wizard 3, Hp: 13/13

Finally satisfied that the cosmos is back into a passable state, he allows them to sink back down onto the table surface, then he looks up at Caramip and notices that two other women and another man have joined their lunch group.

"Egads," Hedowin exclaims as he looks around at all the newcomers. "Ebony, why didn't you say something?" He looks at the raven with a quizzical eye.

"Ebony eeeaatttt." The black raven says as he bobs his head up and down, in a laughing manner.

With a sigh, Hedowin's serious face melts away to a wide smile at his familiar.

He turns to the others,"Well, I apologize for my manners, if I haven't been referred to so far into the conversation, my name is Hedowin."

"Now, what brings all these women into our midst?" He says as he looks from each of the feminine faces. He does take note of the strain present in Roxanne's face, he must have missed something in the conversation.
