Re: (Ruse) The Valley of Mist
Hirsu felt the tdan's fear and anger at the tjano, letting the emotions wash over him. He digested the words, letting the words form their own associations inside his mind. Death, decay, poison, corruption, vileness, evil, horror, spreading. The tjano would need to be isolated, restrained, stopped.
Hirsu idly watched Ruse's misdirection without comment.
Hirsu focused on the tdan for now. He inhaled through his pipe, and exhaled slowly. "Thank you for sharing your wisdom, and for your friendship, tdan. I know the topic of the tjano is a difficult one. I will do what I can to cure him, but I will foremost not let the infection spread."
Hirsu turned his attention to Ruse, his eyes shifting between the racoon and the god. He chuckled. "I hope it's not also illegal to consider your offer, Lord Ruse." He became more serious once more. "If you think it wise, I would happily seek out the stone in alternative markets. While I do so, however, it might be best if we isolate the tjano. Also, if you happen to have the ability, making sure the mists do not obscure the sun for some time would be beneficial."
Hirsu took another inhalation from his pipe, allowing the smoke to lift him a little higher from the ground.
