[Anastasia]

It's warm out here, warm as a summer day. Yet you shiver, a chill passing through you. You are within an interior courtyard of a white marble temple, brilliantly green grass all about here.  A few ornate fountains can be seen as Jetina helps you out, "This way, Moore, this way," she urges. "It's not far."

[Nephrite]

He nods, maybe a bit absentmindedly as he takes her guidance and moves forward!

[Anastasia]

It's to the nearest fountain, made of smooth polished marble. You rest on the lip of it, Jetina helping you stay upright.

"Have a drink, it'll help," she says, voice soft, soothing.

[Nephrite]

Under normal circumstances, he'd be a bit more discerning and try and figure out the magic that's surely here.

He's not in any sort of normal circumstance, so he leans down to cup some water in his hands to drink.

[Anastasia]

It's ice cold water, yet warmer than your chills. They slow and cease after a drink, the taste of a mountain spring, winter memories and long forgotten days of travel rippling through your mind.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes in a breath again as he rights himself to flutter up.

"I can make it. Let's go." He affirms.

[Anastasia]

"No need, they come to the sick here," Jetina's hands stay on you. "An expert healer will be here soon. Let's just talk - about the old days." A wry laugh at that, "As it were."

[Nephrite]

"You remember back then?" Moore asks. "I don't... remember, were you born there?"

[Anastasia]

"I was. I meant our times together," Jetina says, gently. You know who Wood reminds me of, don't you?"

[Nephrite]

"I don't... think it's a coincidence." Moore says. "For a variety of reasons."

[Anastasia]

"Oh? Go on," Jetina encourages, as you find yourself getting thirsty.

[Nephrite]

Moore leans down to cup more water to drink. "I think Wood was placed in our care by someone special." He gestures above his head and off in the distance. "I have it on good authority that He likes dogs."

[Anastasia]

"Dogs are nice," Jetina says, "Friendly and loyal. Whenever I have idle time and I find myself at a loss, Wood comes over to play."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I think he's there for a variety of reasons. I mean... it's a little strange that there's an animal like that at all in Celestia, isn't it?" A quiet laugh, followed by some coughing.

"Ah... ha. Ow, that one hurt a bit." He mutters. "Haha... do you remember when we found you on that island? I think it was an island... was it an island?"

[Anastasia]

"I think it was," Jetina murmurs, a soft smile growing on her face. "Do you remember the ship?"
