Re: A New Dawn
Llewendan looks slightly perplexed at Opluriko's answer. "A squirrel?" he asks. "Ah, the little ones. Yes, I can see that. Can you take me to one?"
Calisaren smiles as the coin is offered back to her. "Certainly not a Thief, then," she says, glancing back. Realizing that Jenette isn't where she was standing a moment ago, she shrugs and turns back to Anora. "Keep it; it was a gift. Actually, I am curious about one or two of your brothers, but I'll need to watch a little longer to be sure... but no, I don't think that you're a mistake."
Kira nods. "You're certainly not no one," she asserts. "You've already said you're Anora Sawtvest; can't take it back now."
Calisaren smiles a bit, but waves the Ork back. "Tell me," she suggests, pointing at the coin, "What is that?" She meets Anora's eyes as she asks the seemingly simple question.
Tralistaire, meanwhile, is nodding to Shard. "You guess well and wisely. And `weaving' is an excellent word for what we do, and also starts with a double-u. As I believe I mentioned last night, I am what is called an Elementalist. It's a simpler path than some - more intuitive, I find - but no less effective for that. But to master it, we will need to draw you away from your beloved stone... not far away, of course, just enough. It is all too easy to set upon a single path, and close doors without ever seeing them."
Flechette takes her dagger back, casually dropping it, point down, into its boot sheath. "Thanks. So now," she asks Ariadne, reaching over to her pack and picking up her flail, "What do you have to defend yourself with?"
Outside, Yona looks casual for several quiet minutes before she hears Jenette's voice, lower down but from the other side of the same post she's leaning against. "That one," she says. Looking down, Yona sees the jewel-bedecked Dwarf nod out towards someone walking past; she recognizes Kerric's father, whose Name she can't quite remember. Starts with an `L', much too important to introduce himself to farmers. He's walking past in a very officious, too-busy-to-stop-and-chat sort of way, but there's also something fairly deliberate to his overall arc. It would be an easy bet to say that he's going past here because he wants to make sure Kerric isn't. Jenette, though, goes on quietly, "Seems to have more than he needs, doesn't he?"
