From the Ashes... A new king's day?

[Merc]

Once the lady is paid, and the scrolls packed away, the old magician attempts to help Leets out of the store and finding the rest of their group.

[Dracos]

Leets isn't that hard to steady.  It's more like carrying someone who has just gone shell shocked from too many explosions happening near by.  He still walks, but on the fitz.  Felix is quickly able to identify the bar he saw Mary go into, not more than an hour ago.

"I took another one under my wing, it seems." Jan shook his head in wonder at how many times it had happened, in retrospect. "I wanted to introduce her to you, since you'll be seeing her a bit in the future. Her name's Viki. I was originally going to leave her here under your care, but she possesses certain...gifts that are too attractive to pass up."

[Dracos]

The king looked to her...then to him,  then to her again.  "You know, it's traditional here for the bride to dress in white when you're asking the king to marry you," He misunderstood.

It probably wouldn't be a good idea to take someone acting almost drunk into a bar, so the magician leans the younger lad against the wall near the entrance.

"Wait here while I get Mary, okay?" Felix requests from Leets before he enters the bar, looking for a drunk gunslinger.

[Shukuen]

"Mmmkay..." responded Leets, his gaze drifting away as Felix left him against the wall.

[Dracos]

He spots Mary, quite drunk, trying clumsily to push his way past a bartender that he doesn't seem to notice is even there...

Jan blinked. 'Well, that was new.'

"No...I just wanted to let you know who she was since we'll be helping you out more often. She can teleport, so hopefully that means we can do more to aid you."

[Dracos]

The woman was less... socially quick on such matters. "Marriage...but it's so soon!  I'm too young...I don't even read romance novels!"

King Cecil coughed a bit. "Teleport...but that doesn't work if you haven't been there before," he commented.

"Oy, gunslinger!" Felix calls out to Mary as he walks towards him, with a frown. "I hope you're finished with the drinks?"

He looks more towards the bartender instead of Mary while making that question.

[Olvelsper]

"There's probably books in the library here." Jan said as an aside to Viki, humoring her for now. Weird sense of humor on that girl.

"We've been to quite a few places already, though. This is just a way to jumpstart, I guess."

[Dracos]

Felix:
"Friend of yours?  He's been drinking since he came in here and didn't look steady to head out on his own," He let go of the drunken Mary in answer.

[Dracos]

"Been to a few places?  All it really matters is having a good idea where you're going," Viki responded to a raised eyebrow from the king.  "Why would I be able to only go back to places people around me have been?  That'd be pretty silly." She explained with a straight face before giggling.  "Well, unless I was drinking, then it is anyone's guess."

[Olvelsper]

"There's...no limit on your ability?" Jan had a considering tone in his voice as he took that in. He turned to King Cecil. "Feel like testing that with us? Maybe we can see if any of your other kingdoms made the jump here. It'd probably help to have more allies for us too."

[Dracos]

"Well, not exactly...just sometimes I can get lost," She admitted.  "Or end up somewhere I didn't intend.  But that's part of the excitement of Blinking," The young woman explained.  "I met all kinds of neat people that way."

"What does that mean?"  Cecil wondered, interested in this strange woman's magic.

"Well, it's much safer to go to a place that you know is there than one that might be there.  And much much safer going to a place that might be there than might not be there.  Does that make sense?"
