Re: 2: At Last, The Dawn
Euryleia dislike the idea of letting Irina run back herself, even with the guards, but she felt strongly that she shouldn't leave Brun as he was and that he would likely not be much help if he went. So, she let Irina go and lead Brun inside the chambers. Brun slowly looked around the chamber in his current odd way, then settled on Gwydion...who was staring back at him. Something settled in his look and the confusion seemed to clear away. When Gwydion approached and began to circle him, Brun stayed as still as he could, figuring he would have wanted to do much the same if the situation was reversed. The too-long linger on his rear got a bit of an embarrassed eyeroll, but Brun still did not interrupt him. The hug was a surprise, but Brun hugged his friend back gently, saying quietly, "It's me. And it's very good to see you, too."
Euryleia relaxed as she watched the reunion as Brun seemed to be in a very good timeframe for this moment. She smiled back and bowed her head at his recognition of her as well. Having the time, she decided to look to the Queen, to see how /she/ was seeming to take all this...and everything else...
When Meara arrived and the Queen asked for an explanation, Brun gently extricated himself from the hug and made a respectful bow, "Your Majesty, it is....not possible. Should not have been possible, and yet... Here we are." He extended a hand back to the momentarily stunned Euryleia, who quickly stepped up along side him and took the hand. For the first time since their miraculous return, Euryleia looked happy. Brun seemed to have fortunately slid into a near current timeframe and she was grateful to have him back for the moment.
Squeezing his Lady's hand gently, Brun tried to explain, much in the same way Euryleia had, "We /had/ resigned ourselves to die there in the depths of the dragon to see it ended. We found ourselves in a space filled with technology that seemed alien to the rest of the dragon. Technology which seemed akin to Dr. Locke's machine. We did not have much time to analyze it before... He faltered then, brow creasing, "Before.../the end/... I'm not clear how, but some confluence of energies, from Dr. Locke's technology to high levels of Wyrm-gate particles... We were shunted into a parallel space...a sub space outside of "normal" spacetime as we understand it... My recollection becomes difficult after that..." He looked over to Euryleia to assist.
Euryleia is gonna try to get a read on the Queen while they wait and begin. Warrior's Eyes allows her to switch Melee for Chivalry to get a read on people. Studying movement, physical cues, likely surface scans (heart rate, temp, etc)
