Cauldron Festival

[Anastasia]

"Playing, enjoying candy, doing all the things a child does," Josa says, "Backed by the magic of an archmage. It's keeping is dreadfully busy."

[Ebiris]

"Prestidigitation's good for keeping your teeth clean so at least he's okay there, but make sure he gets lots of exercise!" Marie recommends, heartened by that summary.

[Anastasia]

"He's fine at that," Josa shakes his head, "He's developing well and strongly - why, being hit by him was like being hit by a raging minotaur," Josa recounts, "Ah, the growth of youth, it's quite remarkable."

[Corwin]

"With your permission?" Seira glances at Josa for confirmation, before making three copies of the notes.

[Anastasia]

The copies are made without incident.

[Corwin]

Seira floats them towards Marie's, Oraga's and Kaja's hands. "We might be able to figure out the missing pieces on our own, so this should be helpful," she voices. "Ah, we've gotten a bit distracted here, but where is your team, Josa?"

[Anastasia]

"Out and around on various cases," Josa says, "Ah, but recalling them can be done, if you need any of them, of course, for some things surely come first."

Oraga takes his own copy, while Kaja puts it atop his boxes of candy.

[Ebiris]

Marie rolls hers up and slides it into the little knapsack hanging off her shoulder, taking off her glasses as well. She's basically completed what Alicia sent her here for, but she'll keep Seira company while she looks in on Marianne!

[Corwin]

"I wanted to have a word with Marianne and Lyris," Seira admits. "I think it's about time for that. If they are planning on returning soon, perhaps I could simply be back? As for Calley...." She trails off, considering whether meeting him in person would be helpful or disruptive.

[Anastasia]

Kaja adds at this, "Meeting Calley is the point of our trip, we'll do that regardless."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "But you all were here first, so if you intend to meet him we can wait."

[Corwin]

"Another time, then," Seira decides, since he's still a child and there is no need to crowd him. "I believe we'll be off, then. Josa, please contact me once Marianne and her friend are back. Moore and Kaja, I wish you a pleasant stay in Balmuria."

[Corwin]

Let's go see Mia until Marianne arrives!

[Ebiris]

"Yeah, try the fish!" Marie agrees with Seira, picking up her basket. "I'll just pay for these downstairs," she tells Josa, heading down to the shop-floor.

[Nephrite]

"We'll let you know if we uncover anything from the notes." Moore promises. "It was good to see you again, Lady Seira."

He gives Marie a wave as well.
