The Young Clave
Lyel kept himself busy about the small community by keeping things light hearted, though naturally he didn't shun the work assigned to him. His initial introduction to the budding clave was embarrassing enough, having only just managed to land the travel bubble close enough to a stream to sort out the inconveniences of the travel, leaving him soaked, mutated, and in foul disposition regarding the man who had sent him.
'The wind cursed thrice suffers no fault for the heart being cold as ice,' was his mantra as he made his way to the settlement, and despite his irritation, he tried to brush it off with graciousness, and luckily these members were not so crass as to make a large deal over his somewhat inconvenient alteration. At the very least he needed to alter his trousers to accommodate the tail.
Naturally the opportunity to peruse thoughts was too great to pass up, and it did make it easier to crack a joke at the right time, or spin a tale that wasn't boring. He also had opportunity to practice some of his ability to sometimes amusing but harmless effect, having some of the workers set down a tool they had just picked up, and wonder why they suddenly did not have the tool in hand, to the puzzlement and amusement of others as well.
Lyel was able to learn a lot about the community sereptitiously as well. He was only stymied by his attempts to open the mind of Alberic, which puzzled him intensely, and also gave him a sharp headache whenever he tried.
When Artane gathered the group, Lyel frowned somewhat. Being reminded of whom this mission was being conducted for did not please him, and reminded him of his most recent encounter with the Order. He kept his silence to let the others more vested in the matter choose, and he certainly had no interest in promoting Norbint's interests here, given the woe caused by him.
