Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kobold Stew" data-source="post: 3302021" data-attributes="member: 23484">OOC: eep!  missed out! <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/nervous.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":heh:" title="Nervous Laugh    :heh:" data-shortname=":heh:" /> IC:Danica hurries about, not formally greeting either Barok or the newly freed Ventus. As she passes them, she bends at the waist, and tips her hat, before remembering that she is no longer disguised as a boy. She blushes and continues to fuss about. First, she goes to Rix, and spends some time with him, speaking soothing words and holding his paw. She is proud of him, how he never squeaked during the battle, and what great lengths her companions were willing to go for a kobold. Things have changed so much, since we first met, she thinks. You're a hero now.She thanks Kel, and says to the Dwarven priests, "Take good care of him now," kisses her finger and presses it between Rix's eyes. She almost skips away, so relieved is she at seeing Rix safe.She stands, the two crossbows bouncing awkwardly against her legs. Hmmm. Can't travel like this. As she walks past the sight of the battle, she hesitates where Nefius had stood, and on a hunch, bends her thumb and forefinger into a loop, and says "Show me what glows." She holds her fingers up to her eye, and looks about, to see if there is any hint of Nefius, or anything else. [OOC: casts detect magic] Assuming she is satisfied that there is not, if there are ay bodies left, she helps clear them away. She then returns to the Dwarven tunnel, and busies herself helping with the meal. A fist of anxiety catches in her throat as Dartis passes, and she looks down, hoping not to be noticed. How could I have been so stupid to have thought my magic could help in a deception against Nefius? But she swallows it, flicking a remaining curl over her ear as she stirs a pot of some sort of stew.Aftrer dinner, she looks at her equipment. She is still carrying the magnificent Imperial crossbow, but it was suggested that this could be hers (no one else seemed even interested in it [is this true?]). She compares the weights of the two crossbows--is the Imperial one heavier than her darkwood one? -- [DT, is it?] because if so she will need to shed some weight.Danica is conscious she is not strong as a real warrior, and rebuilds her pack, starting with replenished bolts that the dwarves have offered, to see if she can carry all her belongings without slowing her ability to move through the forest. She also remembers to move the ink vial to her belt pouch, for next time.When this is done, she rejoins her friends, and has some stew. Her repacking has taken much of their super time, but it saved her having to make conversation. Danica realizes that her disguise failures have been her own fault: her boy disguise was seen through as soon as she encountered someone who had known her before, and she herself has revealed her real secret. So much for that. She takes the silly cap off her head, and unbuttons her collar. No more secrets. Her lopsided smile grows as she eats -- it is clear she was hungry -- and by the end of the meal she stands proudly, and looks to make one more change.She starts to look for a nice, silk blouse among the dwarven women, hoping something meant for a dwarven female child as some sort of formal wear. But something feminine, and something from here. [DT, she'll pay for this, if needed.][Assuming she finds something: ] Danica pulls it on, and even with the size feels she is positively swimming in fabric, the shoulders of the garment almost reaching her elbows. She tucks it into her travelling pants, her fingers scrath her head above the ears, and that night she sleeps very well.[OOC: sorry I've been slow posting this week, guys. As for the ring, Danica can use it, but I don't want to be greedy -- if someone else can benefit from it, they probably should.]</blockquote>
