A full wagon

[Nephrite]

Moore will nod with satisfaction, then take a break and fly around Hope's Landing to see if anything interesting is going on!

D100 if you need it.

[Anastasia]

You wander a bit, stretching your wings.

You find Cresiel in the courtyard, seeing to the two horses. He's checking them over carefully, focused entirely on it. Grias watches him along with Villisa, a casual conversation overheard as you approach. "...and still, Cresiel's quite skilled," Grias says.

"He should be," Villisa says, as Cresiel kneels, a few murmured words before he lifts a hoof up without resistance, checking it carefully. "We don't bother with anything less than excellence."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. He strives for more than that! He'll leave them to that and continue along.

[Anastasia]

You next find Jetina practicing in a meeting room repurposed. She's down to her underclothes - a simple light padded tunic and short pants - and swinging her blade, practing against a stone dummy. She's sweating quite a bit but still going, not slowing down in the slightest.

[Nephrite]

Moore gives her silent encouragement as he keeps going!

[Anastasia]

You find Kaja next. He's sitting by a window, looking outward and lost in thought. A silver ingot is in hand, slowly rubbed, almost like absently petting a dog.

Speaking of, Wood sleeps nearby, curled up into a ball. Another dog sleeps nearby, a black furred one of average size.

[Nephrite]

Moore flies over to pet the new doggie!

[Anastasia]

A she-dog on a glance, who looks up happily at you. She licks your hand after a few moments, licking and licking away.

"Moore," Kaja greets, "I think Wood has a companion now."

[Nephrite]

"It seems that way." Moore agrees. "What's on your mind?"

[Anastasia]

"Money," Kaja says, hefting the silver ingot and flipping it to you. "I have no great love of it in truth, but sometimes it speaks to me. A failing of many with dragonsblood is to greed and the desire for treasure, a thirst that can never be truly slaked."

[Nephrite]

"I understand. A question of value and worth that's at the core of all dragons." Moore says. "Why not ask Io about it? He'd probably give you more insight than just trying to solve the puzzle on your own."

[Anastasia]

"It feels like cheating," Kaja finally says, turning to you at last.

[Nephrite]

"You could talk to the Authority of Generosity. He probably has a unique take on it since he just spends his time giving away his wealth." Moore offers.

[Anastasia]

"I may one day," Kaja agrees, "I'm surprised you aren't buried in that book."

[Nephrite]

"I'm taking a break." Moore says. "Just remember you're not alone in all this, okay?"
