Surely they must be doing this on a dare from their friends, but I must be polite to those who have retained my services...*Wiping the sweat that was beading up on his brow, Jabin wondered how the best way to handle this situation would be. Finally deciding to treat this as an exercise that Vanget would give him, Jabin smiled, or attempted to at least."Please, just call me Jabin, as placing a title before my name is not something I would ever wish anyone to do. As for the magic I know, I am more of a scholar than a true mage, as almost all of my spells deal with the gathering of information of some kind. However, I know that there will come a time when I must defend myself, and those I travel with, so I am trying to master some spells which will give me the ability to do so."*Pausing for a moment, Jabin closes his eyes and wills an illusionary cardinal into being.*"The sash I wear around my waist was the very first item my father ever created. He named it Scarlet after his wife, a kind lady that I sadly never met. She loved birds, and he wanted her to be able to see one anytime she wished and the cardinal was her favorite, as she loved the bright colors and sweet songs it sang outside her window. Sadly, she came down with the brain fever and the gods took her shortly thereafter. This sash was worn by him everyday until he also gave into the rotting sickness that slowly killed him. I wear it to honor the father I had, as well as the mother I was never able to meet."*While Jabin tells his tale, he mentally directs the bird to land on each boy's arm and to whistle a soft tune as he talks. Once over, Jabin has it begin flying away, slowly fading from sight as it leaves them.**When they reached Garnet Well, Jabin slides off of Honeybee's back carefully, and can feel the stiffness in his legs almost immediately. Trying to hide it as best he can, especially as Azure and Ashlie walk past him towards the pen area, he still winces slightly with each step.*Now I understand why Vanget said that the road was hard on the body, but I think I must be the only one who isn't used to it. There is much I will learn I think with the others...*Once they reach the central area, Jabin tries to brush Honeybee just like he sees the others doing, and while she doesn't complain, he still feels like she gives him a warning look from time to time as he forces some rough spots on her coat to smooth out. After brushing her, Jabin gives her some sweet oats and an apple before deciding that it would be best to simply stay with the pilgrims for the night.*No sense in me ruining anyone's night with my presence...so far the pilgrims have been polite about me being around, but outside of here, who knows what could happen.*Opening up his pack, Jabin pulls out a few sticks of jerky and some hard tack and sits down next to a wagon to eat his meal, overhearing Pharos mention taking the first watch for the evening. Standing up, albiet painfully, on his now very stiff legs Jabin approaches the warrior-priest."I would like to volunteer for the third watch, as I need to rest before studying my spells in the morning. I hope you do mind me reading while on watch, as I promise it will not distract me from being able to keep an eye on what goes on around me."*Once settled, Jabin finds an empty spot in the camp away from the others and takes out a block of wood and begins carving. In his mind, he can already see the shape of the flute, and he hopes that once he finishes it Azure will honor him in using it when she performs.*</blockquote>
