Sylica: A New Beginning

[Ebiris]

"Well said!" Alicia says, pleased as she scoots off the side of the chair and lowers herself down to a more convenient height to lean in and plant her lips onto Syala's in a quick but fervent kiss. "We can't ever stand still, we must always keep moving and growing. The stakes are too high to do anything less," she sums up her agreement, straightening again afterwards.

After the kiss Syala pulls back, "That they are," she concurs, "To the future."

Next move?

[Ebiris]

I'll take Jessica out to go visit the Cauldron and catch up with Seira/make plans

[Anastasia]

Okay, that's tomorrow then. There may be some IC chatter first if Seira needs time, she probably will. I'll set that up tonight or in the morning. Or maybe you just crash a conversation they're having, whatever. Post back to this with an ok, so I know it needs to be updated next time.

[Ebiris]

That works for me.

[Anastasia]

Jessica is found at Roald's bakery, in a simple peasant dress and apron. She works away, pleasantly whistling as Roald works the ovens. She's kneading dough, all her focus on it.  In the front of the shop, bread is put out to be taken by any who are hungry, as well as pies, rolls and other such baked goods.

Go ahead and intro how you're approaching this.

Alicia snags a pork pie on the way in, taking a bite and making a pleased sound as she swallows it. "Mmm, good as always," she says. "Jessica, Roald," she greets them properly, going around the counter to where they are at the back, unarmoured right now. "Where's Wil, not off causing trouble is she?" she enquires after her nephew before finishing the pie.

[Anastasia]

You get looks from the customers, of course, but not that it stops them.

"Alicia," Roald calls from the ovens, "How are you? He's off at some lessons today, learning his nature lore and arcane lore."

Jessica dusts her hands off, wiping them on her apron. "How was Dweomerheart?"

[Ebiris]

"I'm good, thanks Roald," she says before to her sister, "It was nice. Mystra's invited us to move Sylica to Elysium later once Syala and I grow more as deities." None of the customers can actually hear what Alicia's saying of course. "I got more information about what's going on on Avernus. Can I steal you away from Roald for a trip to the Cauldron, sister? I'm going to be making some plans with Seira and they lend to your skills."

[Anastasia]

Roald hums at that and goes to an enclosed, glass covered rack of bread and other such things in the back.

Meanwhile, Jessica's attention focuses on you. "Of course. Tell me when."

"Do either of you need healing bread or anything useful," Roald calls back, using a key to unlock the glass case.

[Ebiris]

"We shouldn't need any for the Cauldron, but make up a package anyway? Can give it to Seira for her use, she always likes getting presents," Alicia says, smiling at Roald, then back to Jessica. "Say in two hours? It'll give you time to finish baking for the rush here and get ready for travelling."

[Anastasia]

Roald nods at that and...

Any prep before your trip?

[Ebiris]

Nope, will just gate on over with a basket of nice bread and good wishes!

[Anastasia]

Loot post. Okay. I'm going to move you over to Seira's current thread in a few. For now I'm going to lock this one.
