Journey abroad (Jaela)

[Anastasia]

Mmmm. Hmmm? Jaela wakes up from a deep, dreamless sleep. She's taken a day or two to get herself together, and this morning she feels great. No aches, no pains, no immediate problems. Her day looms before her - even if it involves getting Mirima and Ellese.

Which one do you want to get first, Jaela?

[Corwin]

Once again, her day begins by visiting Mirima at the Graceful Blow tower!

[Anastasia]

Jaela heads out. She passes Baleruk in the courtyard. He's coiled around the obsidian building he claimed, licking, biting, chewing and molding it. Some of the obsidian has drained of color, becoming a snowy white. It's a slow, blotchy change, like the room has a strange rash. He doesn't even notice or seem to care about those watching him, wholly absorbed in his work.

[Corwin]

Dragons are weird. Jaela gives him a wave all the same, but doesn't stop to bother Baleruk since he's so busy with his task.

[Anastasia]

No response to the wave, Jaela heading to the tower. You find Adrian standing just outside, sitting and looking ahead. He's watching Water, right now a blur of yellow and green fish swimming by. The light of Aurora spills out into Water, illuminating everything around the fortress brightly. "Hey," Adrian greets, tearing his eyes away. "It's damned nice when you aren't soaking wet and breathing in water. To look at, I mean."

[Corwin]

"It's nice to swim in, too," Jaela responds, speaking from experience. "Give it a try! The spells hold out for days!"

[Anastasia]

"I don't need them," Adrian says, "I figured out how to breathe in Water or any water heavy plane ages ago." He smirks just a little bit, "I just like looking more than breathing in the water."

[Corwin]

She snorts. "Right, you like to watch. Fair enough. Is Mirima in?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, but give her a little bit of time," Adrian says, "She had a bad night. Food poisoning, half of the tower was up with it. I finally dragged some healers in, but that many cases took a lot of doing to fix and some time. A few of the girls caught some fish, and apparently didn't realize not all the fish on Water are safe to eat, or may go bad quickly."

[Corwin]

"I... can see that happening," Jaela admits, shaking her head. "Wow. Brought down by the fish." She joins Adrian in staring outside Aurora's barrier for bit. "In that case, let her know I stopped by and will come back later today?"

[Anastasia]

"It was inevitable," Adrian grins, "I got to practice my cantrips a lot out of it, so it wasn't all bad." Staring out at the fish is restful and calming, worries about sickness fading. "I will."

"He will," Mirima calls out from the tower itself, "Jaela!"

[Corwin]

"Morning!" Jaela calls back. "Good to some, will get better before long for others?"

[Anastasia]

"Give me a half hour," Mirima peeks out. Her face is a little pale, hair drawn back in a rough ponytail. Bad food is a curse against both the Elf Father and common decency."

[Corwin]

"Will do! Keep on fighting the good fight!"

[Anastasia]

Mirima smiles and ducks back inside. "So," Adrian comments once she's gone, "What did I miss?"
