"I wonder how he's doing now?" Xandra muses aloud, "At least he gave Elena closure."

[Nephrite]

"He has his own role to fulfill in all of this." Moore says. "But I think... he's happier, now that he did see her again." A smile after that. "She's a good friend, so she deserves to have her father be part of her life, even if he is an immortal curmudgeon."

[Anastasia]

A nod from Xandra, a consideration.

The Hecatoncheires has such rage. It is magnificent to see.

[Nephrite]

Just to be clear, that's Shar, right? The purples always kind of blend together for me.

[Anastasia]

Yes.

[Nephrite]

He has to keep decorum up, even with her.

Hello, Shar.

[Anastasia]

Perhaps strangely, there is no reply to your greeting.

[Nephrite]

Was she expecting some other response?

No, this was probably just a warning.

"Shar apparently witnessed our battle against the Hecatoncheires." Moore says. "Either that, or she was able to hear about it... I imagine it could be anything."

[Anastasia]

"She has a disagreeable disposition," Is Xandra's simple reply, "She contacted me while you were gone. Probing me for information and answers, indirectly."

[Nephrite]

"Hah!" Moore says with a single laugh. "That's probably the nicest thing anyone's ever said about her. Well, once we save the Hecatoncheires, she'll understand that hope always overcomes despair."

[Anastasia]

"Somehow I think Shar is a slow learner," Xandra says back, with a hint of a smile.

[Nephrite]

"Then we'll just have to keep teaching her." Moore says as they continue on!

[Anastasia]

Give me a d100, terror pixie.

[Nephrite]

[21:41] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d100 --> [ 1d100=39 ]{39}

You walk a time in the mists. You lose yourself in the cool air and foggy expanses.

So when she walks besides you, it's hardly even noticed.

"You seek my council?" Pistis Sophia asks, as you blink yourself from a reverie of the fogs.
