Gossiping (Afina)

[Anastasia]

The scale is warm to the touch, but otherwise nothing happens.

"I...see." The dragon murmurs, turning to you all anew. He looks to Afina, no expression at all. "I need time," he declares, "This is not a decision to rush."

[Ebiris]

"That is understandable," Afina says, lifting her hand. "We will return in ten day's time, if that's acceptable?"

[Anastasia]

"Ten days," The dragon agrees, "I will decide by then."

[Ebiris]

Well that's that then. "Thank you for giving us your time," she says, turning to leave and Gate them out of here once they leave the lair proper.

[Nephrite]

Moore bows again. "Yes, thank you very much." He'll go through the Gate and back to Aurora!

[Anastasia]

The return to Aurora is without incident. As you head back in, "Ten days," Morniel echos, "Do you think he will agree?"

[Ebiris]

"I'm not so good at reading people, nevermind dragons," Afina says openly. "Could go either way."

[Nephrite]

"I think he'll agree." Moore says. "If he had no intentions of doing so, he wouldn't have given it any time to think on it. I think we shook him a bit with a reminder of what a collective source of good can do in Creation."

[Anastasia]

"I will pray on it," Morniel says, "So that Celestia guides him."

This is winding down. Do you two want to do some of that diplomacy that your deal with the marid opened up?

[Ebiris]

May as well get it out the way

[Anastasia]

Okay, which option are you going to do?

[Nephrite]

If there's no strong opinion one way or another, we can just go in order, which I think is Oak Pride, the Pearls, then the Prince?

[Ebiris]

There were options? I figured we'd go visit the marid throne, hand over the rainbow pixie dust, they'd provide/point us at the allies they promised, and maybe other exciting stuff would happen? If there's a choice I missed it.

[Anastasia]

I assumed the pixie dust would be passed off OOC and you'd go straight to the recruiting issues, but we can do it IC if you'd prefer. Up to however you two want to do it.

[Ebiris]

If it's just giving a jar of dust to some flunky it can be done OOC sure, I figured we'd meet the Padisha and stuff is all. I guess we can just go meet the indicated fey in the order Moore said if the marid have nothing else for us.
