[QUOTE="Binder Fred, post: 6075615, member: 63746"] [b]Antares and Stellan[/b] Stellan was always very straight forward in his feelings. It's... it's always been a source of comfort for all those around him. Including Antares, now... Perhaps the content of her pouch will shed stronger light on her identity? He deeply hopes so. This has taken more time than expected, with the others probably already out of the well, into the town, leaving the two of them alone down here, alone... and yet. [COLOR="wheat"]"We should go,"[/COLOR] he states with the tone of one trying to convince himself. (Perhaps if they had something to cover her up, he would feel better about the journey back? She is so... naked, and illogically cold in his mind's eye... But they have nothing.) Nothing except: [COLOR="wheat"]"Oh. Ah. Could you- hm - pick up father's sword for me, please Stellan?"[/COLOR] the young mage asks with some embarrassment. It still lies where he let it fall after the battle, and he - can't - quite - reach it while still holding on to Former-Anna's hand! [COLOR="wheat"]"And over there is my belt."[/COLOR] The metal links glinting coppery gold in the light of Stellan's torch... It takes a bit of doing - Stellan helping him buckle the belt in place, for one -, but soon both items are back around the young elf's waist and they are, finally (too soon?) on their careful way back towards the exit well... Antares looks back often as they cross the wider, unworked cavern, eyes seemingly tied to the altar and the runes, the spilled cup, the blood-stains on the floor, the silver water lighting it all... [COLOR="wheat"]"Should we truly not try to end it now, friend Stellan? To mar it *now* so that it does not fester and gather more to its side while humans are away?"[/COLOR] They lack tools able to reliably affect stone, it is true (perhaps master Stonehand had some?), and his teachers have told tales as well, where such runes are often protected in some fashion. And yet, to just leave such a harmful, insidiously corrupting thing behind... [COLOR="#A9A9A9"]<Response Stellan?>[/COLOR] Antares forces himself to look at the bodies of the White Things as they walk past each one, teeth clenched tight to firm up his slight store of courage. In this though, and as it turns out, he is greatly helped by heretofore unsuspected, horrifyingly thrilling drams of morbid curiosity... This- is death? The remnants of an actual battle? This, is what lay within the shells of their pale flesh? [OOC]Now that he has time to look, does he notice anything else about the creatures and/or the room they apparently lived in? Do they have any equipment on them at all, like Anna's pouch or the like (I beleive a ring was mentioned during that very first encounter?
