The diminutive elder stares without blinking at the Guardian. The Guardian stares right back.Then, Mylistra, placing her hand on TORIQ's arm, speaks softly and earnestly to her friend. "I know you don't like to talk much about the good you do, behind the scenes, letting Juniper and I take all the lauds, but this is a place where you must. She needs to know that she can trust you. If you share yourself, she will understand and will trust."Toriq's lips tighten for a moment, then her body relaxes with a great sigh, and she finally answers Rubee's question: "I speak - albeit not always with actual words - for those who cannot speak for themselves. As you allude to, that often means creatures in the forest. But not always. I do what I can behind the scenes for Mylistra and Juniper ..." Here Mylistra interrupts, with "your mother..." "... yes, my mother," the warden gives an admonishing side glance at her friend and ally. "I do what I am able to for behind the scenes to help their work." "And not only us," the witch asserts. Toriq, exasperated,  asks if she would like to continue, as her voice. The two friends stare at each other, then Toriq glances around the table, particularly at Svishka, before meeting the eyes of Nemo's Oba Rubee once again. "I am choosing to trust you, grandmere. I'll give you a name. If you need a reference, you can ask old Meister Shiogtelm. I believe you've met," the warden says with a small smile. Then, turning to Svishka, she continues with, "and is he not your grandpere?"[HR][/HR]* Mylistra makes a Secondary Skill Insight check to intuit why Toriq is hesitant to speak: +10= Autosuccess vs 9 Easy DC, for a +2 SS bonus to* Toriq's Primary Skill Insight check to trust Rubee and tell her what she needs to know: r13+4+2 SS =19 vs 13 Moderate DC</blockquote>
