A Return from Adventure

[judgementscythe]

[Clothes still torn and a bit bloody from the fight in the ruins Lorelai rides through the gates of town slumped over her horse. A small box sealed with a blue gem clutched tightly to her chest. She slowly let's herself fall to the ground and stumbles a bit on her feet as she makes her way into the mansion to take the sealed True Wind to the war room hoping any of the others had succeeded with what they needed to get done.]

[sighs in frustration]

I just want this done so I can get back down in there for real. I wonder if the others all finished their parts yet?

[latkje]

I can't go back to my wife just yet. She hates it when I look old. [ He sighs, tired. ]

I trust Chris Lightfellow, but Alma Kinan is one of the furthest of the Six Clans.

[judgementscythe]

You and your scarf. You are almost as bad as Killey and his stupid hat. Why not go take it to Josephine while I get this to Ceasar?

[latkje]

Honestly? Because I'm not sure I'd like what she'd do with it. [ Her style seems less subtle than his beloved scarf.

And, well, dishonestly, he wants to see what Caesar has to say about this. ]

[judgementscythe]

As I said, just be specific that you need it mended. Hopefully they figured out a little more while we were gone

[latkje]

So you know her, then? [ Hmmm. ]

I'd like this mess to be over.

[judgementscythe]

I've known her for almost 30 years although this Josephine has only known me for one. As long as you are specific that you don't want anything extra she's good with mending. And I know how you feel. The faster we get done the faster I can get back to exploring those chambers.

[latkje]

Around the time of the Falenan Civil War, right? There's a lot of that going around.

[judgementscythe]

You're one to talk. I met you before I met her and you barely look much older than you did then.

[latkje]

[ He squints. ]

I'm thirty-seven, and I did the years in the usual order.

[judgementscythe]

Except for that time where you were an adult when you would have been a small child. Then again you were travelling with Viki and that woman still confounds me

[latkje]

I was heading home after the Dunan Unification War. That… was a detour. [ He doesn't understand Viki either. ]
