!!!! (Surraruthru, 88 days left)

[Anastasia]

"Hm? Oh, it was a polishing cream. I don't know what type from that, but they're like oils or creams for a woman's skin, only for dragon scales instead." Kascha smiles at that, "They're not terribly expensive once you find somewhere that makes them. They can make your scales shine and help heal cracks and chips quicker."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm... I'll have to find some. Maybe the Cauldron? I may need to apply some magic of my own to make it truly over the top..."

[Anastasia]

"We have it there. It's available in Brightwater, but it's usually marked up," Kascha explains, "I might have a jar of it in my chest, I try and carry useful things and some dragons like it. It can make the difference between one talking or not."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Or it being considered sufficient tribute and avoiding violence. Now, what kind of magic could I impart to it... Perhaps something to give the scales a wisp of magic? Hmm... Maybe something that resembles a few ropes of spellfire?"

[Anastasia]

As you ponder that, Sylvie returns, "We're good," she says, "I'll teleport us, take my hands."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru does so!

[Anastasia]

A few words of magic later and you're in front of a familiar library. "Stay here," Sylvie says, "I'll just bring someone out here to deal with this."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru chuckles as Sylvie leaves and turns to Kascha.

"See how she's trying to keep me away from the library? Amusing."

[Anastasia]

Kascha sighs and her shoulders slump. "Well, I suppose she doesn't have the patience to deal with this." She slowly rubs her face with her hand.

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru rolls his eyes.

"Oh come on. I've done this what, three or four times? Compared to a normal faerie dragon, you've dealt with nothing. I've also not really done anything at all. I've also been far friendlier than a typical dragon. Take Baleruk for example."

[Anastasia]

Kascha sighs, "Your point is acknowledged and I concede," she says, smiling after that. "Sorry, I think I'm on edge because of everything that's happening. Everyone's so focused now."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Quite. A little levity and a few jokes wouldn't hurt everyone. I suppose it's just the draconic inclination for combat that makes it hit and miss with most. Perhaps arranging a small festival or outing in the Cauldron or Brightwater for everyone would help. No one benefits from being grim and depressed before battle."

[Anastasia]

"That's a fine idea," Kascha says, "Do you have any ideas in particular about that? Just a good day outing to relax before the final battles?

[Iron Dragoon]

"Not sure. Festivals are more of a non-dragon tradition. I can't really say what would be a good idea for it beyond plentiful food and drink. Perhaps save a full festival for after we've won?"

[Anastasia]

"Hmmm, well how about..."

A little bit of discussion passes. Sylvie soon returns with a short half elf with curly brown hair. He wears brown robes and constantly rubs his hands together. "So you need a larger memory crystal? Excellent, excellent," he says without preamble.
