EE1 - The Flow of the River [Open]

[Dapper Dog]

Dak lowered his head deferntially "This one simply came to see if there was anything the enclave needed. I planned on soon taking a trip into the land of your people. I respect your people and have found the time I have spent with them to be incredibly enlightening." He took a deep breath "The presence of the inquisitor is really bad news for everyone, I will help in any way that I can."

Sister Hulia nodded at his offer while Viati said, “Those are kind words but it would be best you speak to Brother Ru’ni, he is the one that walks between worlds and I trust him to do what is best for the people.”

[Daunt]

Daunt had a dilemma. The only way he could truthfully explain himself was by shedding more light on his ties to Juri. Still, would he tell anything more than already could be observed? "I go where the witch goes."

“So two witches,” she said looking at Daunt then Juri.

“One cloaked in darkness but brings warning and the other,” she looks at Daunt carefully. “What is name, laowai?”

[Daunt]

"Daunt." He replied plainly, but his expression was marred by a slight cringe in reaction to being called a which. "A warrior." He thus added.

"Same, same," she said in reply.

"Has the Gift, I see it or more I feel it. Feels cold."

[Ru'ni Wayne]

Following Viati's introduction, Ru'ni crosses his arms. Hands touching opposite shoulders, he greets them in the Orsini tradition.

"If you wish to speak to the elders, I have business with them tomorrow and can make an entreaty on your behalf."

[Daunt]

She senses Dathomir in us. He thought. The Nightkinship. It must be it. I shine with some reflected light. He looked at the Aznuri with more focus of his nuclear fuel eyes. "Looks like you have an eye for odd things, one called Sister Viati." To the latter offer, he just shrugged. It was up to Juri.

[Dapper Dog]

"I am Peacewalker," she said as if that should say everything.

[Jurdak Surt]

Sister Hulia nodded at his offer while Viati said, “Those are kind words but it would be best you speak to Brother Ru’ni, he is the one that walks between worlds and I trust him to do what is best for the people.”

Dak nodded "I just wanted to make the offer but yeah your guy most likely knows what's best for you all."

Following Viati's introduction, Ru'ni crosses his arms. Hands touching opposite shoulders, he greets them in the Orsini tradition.

"If you wish to speak to the elders, I have business with them tomorrow and can make an entreaty on your behalf."

"Yeah if you wouldnt mind, I would like to meet with them. I have made a few trips to your people's lands and spoken with some of your teachers. I cant say I get all of it but it makes a certain kind of sense. But I haven't had a chance to meet with the elders, I always have to use go betweens."

[Ru'ni Wayne]

"I cannot guarantee a meeting, only a delivery of your message, these are dangerous times, and a reclusive and private people are we. I hope your request will be looked upon favorably, but most laowai never get closer to the heart of the Aznuri than the enclave here." Ru'ni explains with openness.

"If the Peacekeeper and the Farseer assess your intentions as noble, it will speak well of your chances."

[Jurdak Surt]

The Cathar nodded in understanding "yeah I gathered as much when I visited, nearly became a pin cushion the first few times I passed into their lands but they figured I was ok I guess cause they let me in to a few of their settlements. Really interesting places, if I werent so attached to some tech I'd think about trying to join but I think my role is to observe as an outsider."

[Qareme Torth]

Hulia sighed and said, “Is this why all of you have come?”

"I came to see if all parts have been attacked. This...darkness that has descended upon Bankor concerns me, and I do not wish to see any left alone to face it, as Bankor should stand together to help one another."

Qareme looked in the direction of the slums.

"The people in the slums have suffered a great pain brought upon them by this Inquisitor."

[Sister Hulia]

Hulia and Viati share a look and the darker skinned woman sighed and nodded. Hulia then said to Qareme, “If your people need food or supplies we can offer some of what we have. It is what we would do for another tribe even a rival if misfortune befalls them, do you understand?”

“It is not much but perhaps will make lives better after such evil.”

[Juri Saizesh]

Juri looked to Ru'ni, nodding. "Please, bring them qhat I have disclosed here. They will need to know." She nodded to the Aznuri man, then listened to the exchange between Qareme and the two sisters.

"Hopefully. Communities will need to be prepared to lend aid to all."

[Qareme Torth]

Hulia and Viati share a look and the darker skinned woman sighed and nodded. Hulia then said to Qareme, “If your people need food or supplies we can offer some of what we have. It is what we would do for another tribe even a rival if misfortune befalls them, do you understand?”

“It is not much but perhaps will make lives better after such evil.”

It wasn't what Qareme expected, but she lowered her head.

"You have my thanks. I would also like to return the favour in some way, although I do not have anything in resource. Allow me to offer my assistance where your people need it. Our people stand together."

[Dapper Dog]

Viati answered, "I feel these words to be true, and our people welcome you to stand with us when the rains come hard."

[Daunt]

It looked like something was accomplished. Daunt didn't have any special feelings about it either way, but if it made Juri satisfied, he wouldn't challenge it. Still, he was wandering if the tether pull responsible for him coming here was about his witch, or the Aznuri. What their seer said was disquieting him. Was he carrying a mark visible for those who knew how to look?
