19:14 <•Kotono> Rina looks unbothered by that, as you end up with Liza on one side and Sanda on the other, again. At least it'll make the walk over eventful?
19:15 <Skaya> Rina will definitely get hers, Skaya solemnly promises that. For now, she waits until they reach Sanda's shop and its relative privacy!
19:23 <•Kotono> That happens well enough. It's quiet here - looks like it's closed for the day. Sanda lets all of yo uin and Liza looks about, "It's so small and provincial. It's so charming, you're so fearless to show it off like this." Liza says sweetly.
19:24 <Skaya> "So I actually had a hidden reason to ask you two to come here!" Skaya says cheerfully, clapping her hands to hopefully cut off the fight right at the start. "Do you girls mind helping me with something?"
19:31 <•Kotono> Both turn to you, "What is it," Sanda asks, argument interrupted.
19:33 <Skaya> "I honestly am having a hard time believing it. Like, you ever get that feeling? That's you're thinking too much of yourself? But anyway, it can't be that you want to date me, can it? And I keep on thinking about it and it occupies my mind a lot! So what's going on?"
19:37 <•Kotono> Liza turns absolutely crimson and makes incoherent noises.
19:37 <•Kotono> Sanda slowly tilts her head to the side, "Date you?"
19:39 <Skaya> "Yes," Skaya says, overcoming her embarrassment that sinks like a heavy stone in her stomach. "You surely realized that this is what all our friends think. Even strangers are giving me all these looks, like I'm some-- well, I'm not. But I'm honestly confused? Didn't both of you tell me you weren't interested before?"

19:10 <•Kotono> Crossing her arms and looking away, "You're stealing away my best friend," Sanda finally says, mulishly, towards Liza.
19:10 <•Kotono> "...you're growing on me, human," Liza mutters, still red faced, "Very much."
19:15 <Skaya> "Thank you. Both of you!" Skaya gives a relieved smile. "Isn't it better to just talk properly? Sanda, I'm not being stolen, you're clearly involved as much as before in everything. So there's no need to just ruin your mood with hypotheticals that aren't happening." Looking over at Liza next, she says, "See? It's like that, so there's no need to be upset with each other."
19:21 <•Kotono> "Hmph." Sanda doesn't sound entirely convinced.
19:21 <•Kotono> Liza goes to your side, "Yes, then there's no problem," she takes your arm, "Is there, Sanda?"
19:21 <•Kotono> "Fine, there isn't," Sanda sounds less than happy, but she doesn't argue. Instead, "
19:21 <•Kotono> "Fine, there isn't," Sanda sounds less than happy, but she doesn't argue. Instead, "Is there anything else?"
19:23 <Skaya> "Well, since you asked...." Skaya decides to just be blunt as it's been working so far. "Do you girls really look down on elven and human culture, or was that just bickering? Because if you don't want to visit elven lands with me, Sanda, or you aren't interested in touring human towns with me, Liza, we don't have to do that. There's plenty of other options."
19:29 <•Kotono> "...it's not that bad," Liza murmurs, red faced again.
19:29 <•Kotono> "...It's fine." Sanda says shortly, not pushing it. "Really, ti's fine."
19:31 <Skaya> "Okay! Great!"
19:34 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, anything else to add here or are we good to move along?
19:35 <Skaya> OOC: We're good
19:35 <•Kotono> OOC: #dunes.

18:57 <Devar> <Devar> "It's going to sound a little strange, but I understand why the pieces were important. With all of them I can create as much water as you or anyone else needs."
18:57 <Devar> <Kotono> A thoughtful nod at that, "That makes them important," Picke agrees, as...OOC: Okay, I don't want you getting too far ahead from Skaya, and this was mostly to pay off the long wait on that last piece, so let's pick up there next time.
19:11 <•Kotono> After some thought, "I'll look into it." With a slight grimace, "I asn't looking to sleep the next few days, anyway."
19:13 <Devar> "Do you want me to stay here for a while?" He asks.
19:15 <•Kotono> There's a little thought before, "No. There's no point, it's still summer. If you're needed, I can send for you. Besides, you'll be eaten alive politically."
19:16 <Devar> He nods. "Then I'll wait to hear from you." Devar says. "Sorry to keep causing trouble."
19:21 <•Kotono> OOC: In that case, heading back?
19:22 <Devar> OOC: yep
19:28 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, more in a few.
19:36 <•Kotono> Soon enough the party reunites, Devar returning from his trip. With that..OOC: Due to the interruption, lemme do a quick check of what your immediate plans are.
19:38 <Skaya> OOC: Devar has the dragon prep, and we all have the visit to the dwarven land! Milla promised to recruit a cool dwarf and come with us.
19:38 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay. Dwarf stuff first, I presume?
19:39 <Skaya> OOC: yes
19:39 <•Kotono> OOC: Okay, more.
