"This is Kaja. He's..." Moore shakes his head. "He's an ally of mine."

He smiles and will come inside!

[Anastasia]

"Charmed," Kaja looks up, a toothy smile.

Misalea returns that smile with a pleasant little laugh, "We have a lot to smile about, these days. Come in, come in."

It's a nice house. High roofs with support beams visible, all darkly stained wood and cozy shadows. The room you're taken to is a living room, filled with mementos and trophies of battle. Here Adrian sits by a window, a pleasant breeze rustling his hair as he kicks back, drowsing.

"Adrian," Misalea says, "Moore's here."

[Nephrite]

"I can imagine." Moore says with a bright smile. "You all deserve whatever rest and relaxation you choose to, though it sounds to me like -someone- here can't keep himself out of a little trouble."

[Anastasia]

"Hey, Moore," Adrian blinks and yawns, "No, Selune sent us after him. He was tormenting Selunes to create horrible beast-humanoid abominations. Utterly mad and savage, he had to be put down."

Misalea smiles, "I'll get all of you something to drink."

[Nephrite]

"That must've been serious if she sent you like that." Moore says. "Has Tepen taken up a new career as a lawncare advisor?"

[Anastasia]

"Serious enough," Adrian shakes his head as Kaja looks around, studying Gaelach, mounted over the fireplace. "She sent some mortals and they didn't make it, no sign of them or of their souls. So she sent us and we resolved it. He'd captured all of their souls, we freed them."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I'm glad to hear it. If you're ever in any need, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. Just because I'm not officially with Aurora doesn't mean I can't or don't want to help." A smile afterwards. "So do you think this guy made this flute or just acquired it from somewhere?"

[Anastasia]

"He acquired it," Adrian rises and stretches, "Hold on, I'll go get it. Make yourselves comfortable."

[Nephrite]

"Take your time." Moore says as he takes a seat!

Kaja can fend for himself.

[Anastasia]

Meow.

Kaja wanders to a seat, one by a table full of fresh fruit. He grabs a pear and takes a bit. "That's a hell of a sword," Kaja speaks up, "He's used it a lot, I can tell."

[Nephrite]

Is her spell broken?

"Oh, yeah." Moore says with a nod. "That's uh..." Moore taps his chin, then snaps once. "Gaelach." He nods. "It's funny, my first ever mission with Aurora was actually with Adrian. I was really nervous, if you can believe it."

[Anastasia]

"Everyone's new once," Kaja says, "If you survive, you're no longer new and you don't have an excuse." A sharp, toothy smile again, "How did it go?"

[Nephrite]

"I think they weren't expecting much out of me." Moore says with a laugh. "I think Adrian would've been fine without me. It gave me confidence, though, which built on itself."

[Anastasia]

At this moment Misalea returns, carrying a tray of drinks. "Milk for you," she says, "Ale for you," she gives it to Kaja, who chuckles but doesn't comment otherwise.

[Nephrite]

"What! I choose not to drink!" Moore shouts. "It isn't that unheard of."

A huff afterwards.

"Misalea, how have things been other than your most recent adventure?" Moore asks. "I don't know that I could ever settle down into such a picturesque lifestyle, I admit."
