Eternal questions (Ithea)

[Merc]

"Might have been nice to have you there, true," Ithea answers. "Hindsight is what it is though. It certainly wasn't on purpose that we didn't take you with us, we just didn't think it'd be as troublesome an experience as it turned out."

Well, at least Simmer wasn't here about the thing with Sylvie, or news of Balyss and Sylvie duking it out in some way. That's a plus, right?

[Anastasia]

"Yes, just remember that we need more fire," Simmer says seriously, "Any problem can be solved with enough fire."

[Merc]

"Unfortunate that I seem to have absolutely zero talent with the element," Ithea says with a sigh. "Still, I'll make sure you're kept in mind for whenever we get the intel on where to focus assaults. I'm sure those devils will just -hate- being burnt after being used to being immune to flames too, and anything they hate is always a good thing."

[Anastasia]

"Good," Simmer says, turning to go.  "When in doubt, more fire. Remember that."

Now the tortles, I presume?

[Merc]

"I won't forget."

ooc: sure.

[Anastasia]

The tortles are found in Aurora's Memorial. They sit in quiet morning, faces of loss and pain. Several black-garbed pixies fly amid them, offering support and aid. Vivantha stands in the back, singing a sorrowful song.

[Merc]

Ithea looks on in silence herself, moving closer and staring at the words written there for Lief and for Muirfinn. At the moment, now in the presence of those mourning, she is lost for what words to give for them.

[Anastasia]

Right now it is a simple placeholder, just names and a note saying more will soon follow. Ithea gets several looks as she joins them, but no one says anything right away.

[Merc]

Perhaps now isn't the best time to share words then. She remains there in silence for some minutes then, giving a silent prayer to the few deities she respects and trusts and asks them to look over the souls of Muirfinn and Lief as best they are able to. One prayer is also given to the Mother Ocean, whom Ithea herself is mostly unfamiliar with outside of some readings she's done on the subject or things heard from Muirfinn. Still, its the most important deity to ask to watch over Muirfinn.


Barring anybody approaching her before her silent prayers end, she'll make a silent exit as well.

[Anastasia]

Ithea emerges out of the portal, back to the entry hall. She ponders briefly, only to be interrupted by Elena. "Hi," she says, "Are you available right now?"

[Merc]

"Rest of my day is free. Whatcha need?"

[Anastasia]

"Two things. Stille is looking for you," She giggles and makes little kissy faces, "Also, Crystal and Moore - he's the new pixie - are looking for you. They need transport and most of the normal ones are busy, so your gate maker appeals."

[Merc]

The duskblade nods at that, looking amused briefly at the kissy faces.

"I can get them a gate, as long as they understand I can only do it once a day. So they'll be stuck wherever they're going for at least that long unless they have their own means of getting back. If they're fine with that, and it's nothing urgent, I'd like to talk with Stille first though. Can you pass that on for them?" Ithea asks, pausing briefly before realizing, "Oh, and where are they? Stille and also Crystal and Moore, that is."

[Anastasia]

"Stille is outside your room," Elena smirks, "Crystal and Moore are outside of Queen Ilsenine's throne room."

[Merc]

Ithea nods again. Since Elena hasn't said anything about the pixies being an emergency, she heads for the closest portal towards her room.
