Chapter 4: The Will of The Gods
Nym blinks and look around, somewhat confused.
"Oh, hello, Celindara." she says. "I think we were just somewhere else, or maybe it was a dream, or something, and there was some big giant face person taking to us about Students and Teachers and nothics and himself as the Teacher, and...oh...some other stuff about...I don't know, corruption, and...stuff...I didn't really understand most of it. Oh, is Meri still asleep?"
She goes over to the unconscious half-elf, absently reaching up to tickle the chest of the falcon who has swooped down to alight on her shoulder the moment she has assumed an more upright position.
"Hey, Meri!" says Nym, giving her friend a gentle poke in the arm. "You can wake up now. The big weird face has gone. Well, he's certainly not here. That was that person that that Shadow thingy said we weren't supposed to think about, right?"
She glances around and notes the incredibly upset Many.
"Ahh, Many, look, it's okay." she says, going over to pick him up in both hands and cradle him against her chest. "I'm all awake now, see? And we just ned to wait for Meri to wake up too..."
She goes back to the half-elf and shifts the beholder into one hand in order to give Meri a little poke again.
The idea of contacting the Shadow would never have occurred to me if you hadn't suggested it OOC, so it's not going to occur to Nym any time soon ;). She's woken up just fine, after all, so that means Meri will be doing so too any moment now. She probably just sleeps longer because she's not quite as active as Nym is, yeah, that's it. Her magic's more sleepy and spend its time sitting inside inanimate objects waiting to be called upon, rather than flowing freely through a bloodstream and needing to be discharged every few minutes so as to avoid too much of a build-up ;).
