Cauldron Festival

[Anastasia]

Okay, I'm going to move Moore back to his own board, unless you have anything to add here, y'all?

[Corwin]

"I will show you the same courtesy," Seira promises, following Marie downstairs. "And send you information on 21 or Io if it comes up, since it is to our benefit to share in that."

[Corwin]

That was it! Mia and seafood! We could grab her and go eat!

[Anastasia]

After a brief trip to see Moore off, "Ah, Marianne and Lyris. Let me get them for you first," he says, "Please wait, this surely will not be long."

[Corwin]

Well then, Seira doesn't really mind the order in which things are done!

[Anastasia]

It's not long before a familiar figure comes up. Lyris is clad in leathers and trots on up, "Okay, who are you and why does Josa want you to see us?" she asks, no sign of Marianne quite yet.

[Corwin]

"My name is Seira, and these are my bodyguard Oraga and my friend Marie," she responds, smiling at Lyris in welcome. "We've met, some time ago, though you and Marianne may not remember that part?"

[Ebiris]

"Hi," Marie raises a hand to wave as she's introduced. "I mostly just teleported around and got dunked into lava, but I helped!" she says, proud of her contribution to such a battle out of legend.

It even cost her her nice robes from Empress Sulia while other people got nice tarrasque-scale equipment!

[Anastasia]

Lyris stiffens slightly, going rigid, but goes to a chair nonetheless. "Charmed," she says, "Marianne will be along shortly."

[Corwin]

"Just to get this out of the way, it's nothing bad. I wanted to talk, and it's best to do it in person, won't you agree?"

[Anastasia]

A terse nod to that and then, "Alright. We're aware of the situation, so..." A trail off as she glances back and then calls, "Hurry up, Marianne!"

[Corwin]

Seira waits, the very image of calm!

[Anastasia]

It's not long for Marianne to sweep on up, in a pretty but practical dress. She saunters in, "Why, hello there," she greets, a polite smile on her face. "Josa said you wanted to meet us?"

[Ebiris]

Marie does her best to project the very image of a cute and inoffensive elf!

Slowly her hand dips into the basket of candy she purchased, and then just as slowly raises a boiled sweet to her mouth.

"Hi!" she then adds as Marianne enters, cheek bulging as she talks around the candy. "I'm Marie. I'm just keeping Seira company she's the one you want to talk to."

[Corwin]

"Hello, Marianne," Seira greets her, smiling at her in welcome just as she had for Lyris. "I figured it was a good time to stop by and talk to you, though it seems I got to see your overprotective friend first."
