The second seal (Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore blinks, then starts to laugh. "You could always put your favorite drink into a teacup if you just wanted to preserve the ambiance of the whole ordeal. But, in that case, what do you generally like to drink, Canderella? Actually, you too, Gold." Moore asks. "I'm usually partial to fruit juices, but the super sweet ones don't really do it for me."

[Anastasia]

"Water," Gold says, "Nothing really competes with it, though finding pure water is difficult without magic."

"Water? Oh, pure water, yes." Canderella agrees, "That may be my favorite. You too?" She flashes a smile at Gold.

"It's the best thing if you can find it. Bodies need water, anything else is less healthy." Gold says, "A healthy body..."

"Leads to a healthy mind," Canderella finishes, the two meeting eyes.

Ebony watches this silently and then to Moore, "I'm going to stretch my legs," she announces, "Join me, Moore."

[Nephrite]

Moore glances between them, then nods to Ebony. "Don't let me come back and hear you two burned down anything, okay? We'll be right back." He says with a laugh and goes to join Ebony.

[Anastasia]

"Thank you," Ebony murmurs, "Let them flirt in private." You walk amid the spiders and webs, paths within them to pass through. The phase spiders stay back and watch by and large.

[Nephrite]

Moore blinks, then chuckles a bit. "Here I was, thinking it was just two intellectuals."

[Anastasia]

"Canderella should know better, though it may just be practice for her," Ebony mentions as you walk, "She's refined for her origins and while she is what she is, she isn't a mindless bimbo incapable of thinking or other things. Intellectual is a good word choice for her."

[Nephrite]

Moore laughs. "Well, perhaps she's a better candidate to show Gold around anyway. She's probably a prime example of the sort of thing Aurora attracts -- unique and unexpected individuals."

[Anastasia]

"How true," Ebony agrees, "We are all unique. I once served Baator, though I saw the error of my ways and repented. Few do that, go as deep as I did and manage to save their soul. I have never heard of a pixie serving a member of the Hebdomad, as far as you go."

[Nephrite]

"I wonder if that was a secret power that Medi gave this place." Moore says with a grin. "I'm still not really clear how I ended up in Venya to begin with, but... it seems Erathaol has something in mind for me, so for right now I'm content in following whatever path fate has laid out for me."

[Anastasia]

"I think it's the magic of all of us. The 5 who found Aurora were all special people. Destiny's hand, no doubt." Ebony remarks as you walk along the spiderweb paths.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I'm glad we're starting to push out to recruit more people, also. I think there was a bit of complacency around here... well, I'm still new, so maybe that's not really fair to say. Either way, I'm glad new people are showing up to aid us."

[Anastasia]

Okay, this one's winding down nicely, what's next on your agenda?

[Nephrite]

Let's check in on the Aurora Court and see if they need anything from me.

[Anastasia]

You head in and find the court busy. Everyone's around, chatting and talking. However, the throne's empty, though Lady Skye stands before it. You also spot Crystal talking with several other pixies, nymphs and satyrs a ways away.

Your presence gets a few nods and the music - a lively lute piece - picks up a bit more as you arrive.

[Nephrite]

Hm, is this about Lief?

He smiles and nods to the other court-goers and flies over towards Lady Skye, bowing properly before her. "Lady Skye -- I presume I know the occasion, but might I ask regardless? I didn't expect this many people, to be honest, regardless."
