Re: Part 59e - Prison break
"I am unsure myself, Beldrin - we shall have to contact the others, see how they do in their search," Cyan decides, taking the bottle back from Trista with a small nod of thanks. The level is somewhat reduced, and she reduces it further. "You are most welcome, Trista."
Hardly surprising the woman seems nonplussed at the discussion, though - Devlin and...Nightbrand speak of intrusions into thoughts, something private for most people, Cyan included. She would be distressed, herself, had the being probed her own mind. The bard turns away, giving Trista some space as she busies herself putting away some of her own gear.
Medication time, and Cyan moves to study Trista's exact movements with her topaz eyes, watching carefully as the woman uses the syringe upon the patient. So. That is how it is done. She should try it herself, next time...under Trista's supervision, of course. Likely as not, there were subtlties of which she remained unaware.
Berd, for his part, chirrups impatiently to Trista's question, and gazes at her with lambent eyes.
Devlin, it seems, has questions of his own for Beldrin - questions that could be terribly important, given their destination. It falls upon her to discover what the others have found. Cyan considers, then dives back into her pack for a moment. The case of cards comes forth, and she selects one. James, seated in a grassy glade, with trees around him, his heavy blade propped nearby, his pack behind him for support. While the glade is sunlit, the trees behind lie in shadow. The man himself seems expectant without tension, a slight smile on his lips and weary sadness in his eyes.
A soldier, awaiting the next call to duty.
Another card flips over - this one of a man, another traveller through strange lands. He wears battered armor upon his breast, its unbreachable bulwark scarred and savaged. A sword-hilt juts from behind his back, and his hair overshadows one of his eyes; the other gleams with nearly a fevered purpose, a driving determination. Behind him, a wisp in the mist, is the form of a woman, transluscent, more hinted at than explicitly inked. Aaron, pushing forward, as always.
"Palanquet." Cyan grins. "Shall we see what James and Aaron have to say?" Her smile wavers. "Would you like to attempt a calling?" She glances to Devlin, then back to Trista. "Berd and I might forge one of you, should you so consent. We should, for everyone who agrees."
