Onwards

[Anastasia]

Thus Moore rests and soon enough he awakens to another day. He feels better, recovering from his ordeals as...

You obviously have todos on the list of things to do, and if not, I have plenty. So go ahead and frame what your immediate goals are and things will unfold from there.

[Nephrite]

He's been rather selfish the past few days, but right now he still has to resolve the lingering effects from what transpired.

Reaching out to Pistis Sophia is certainly an option, but it seems best that he make the sojourn to Solania himself and simply learn what the Mohntain will teach him from there.

Before he goes he will check in to make sure there isn't anything immediate that requires his attention!

[Anastasia]

The first you find is Kaja - he's sitting by the kitchens, in a light-drenched seat by a window. Wood sits besides him, being steadily petted as Kaja looks out, eyes unfocused.

[Nephrite]

"Feeling better?" Moore asks as he flies over.

[Anastasia]

Kaja looks over, "Better every day," he says, "His p-...presence. O-orcus." Kaja speaks quietly, "I can say it now. Like a wounded arm slowly regaining strength, only the wound is in my mind and soul."

[Nephrite]

He nods. "I'm sorry. It was my negligence that led to all of this. It will not happen again."

He bows his head down. "I hope you can forgive me for the error."

[Anastasia]

Kaja grunts and looks away. "I've had worse." he finally says, waving it off with his hand. "Live up to the second chance I'm giving you."

[Nephrite]

"I have a lot of debts to pay." Moore agrees. "I'm actually on my way to Solania to see if I can repair the damage that fat bastard did when he tried to choke my soul out."

A shiver and grumble after that. "It's not an experience I intend to repeat."

[Anastasia]

"Choke your soul out?" Kaja echos, "What...what did he do?"

[Nephrite]

"I had the World Sepent spit poison on me to drive his curse out." Moore explains. "While I was... reconstituting,or whatever the term is on Ysgard, Orcus tried to take my soul. It.. well it didn't work, but it left me..."

A gesture out to the window. "I need to see if I can fix the lingering damage, hence the trip to Solania."

[Anastasia]

"At least you're alive," Kaja blows out a breath, "A damn foolish stunt, though, even if it worked."

[Nephrite]

"The alternative wasn't much better." He says with a laugh. "Anyway, keep recovering. I'll see you soon." He promises as he heads for the door!

[Anastasia]

Easy enough. Hope's Landing in bustling and busy, riders above while soldiers train in the courtyard and outside. Not that you have too much of a chance, "Oh! Moore!" Grias floats on over, "I have news."

[Nephrite]

"Hi Grias." Moore says. "Lay it on me."

[Anastasia]

"You're temporarily excused from duty to go to Solania as you plan," Grias says, "It was from Lord Erathaol himself."
