Gossiping (Afina)

[Nephrite]

"I think Lord Crystalle was taken by some surprise that we weren't interested in the treasures of Mineral." Moore calls out, with a nostalgic smile. "But I certainly hope for our meeting today to be one that you'll be quite pleased with. May we keep coming further in?"

[Anastasia]

"I'm afraid not," The voice says, "At least not yet. Kindly tell me why you are here."

[Nephrite]

"Before I waste your time explaining anything, are you familiar with the forces of Aurora?" Moore asks.

[Anastasia]

"I have heard of them," he replies, "They fight Baator and by extension Tiamat. A worthy cause."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, that's correct. Well, we have a forge there, run by one Afina Devilsbane." Moore explains. "One of Lord Crystalle's members, Platinum, referred me to you and said you're a fine smith in your own right. I was hoping that we might offer you to join our cause and add your skillset to our own."

If he's already heard of her and what she did with Baleruk, then there's really nothing for it, but he won't lie about it!

[Anastasia]

"You understand there must be proof. Confirmation." The voice says, "It is not beyond Tiamat's minions to learn this and use it to lower my guard."

[Nephrite]

"Of course. Whatever you need to do to verify our story." Moore says.

[Anastasia]

The voice is silent before it says, "And what better judge of character than a celestial? Angels do not lie," he says, "Bring one who can study your situation and state that you are who you are and I will consider that sufficient."

[Nephrite]

nothing to see here

[Anastasia]

Fair warning, Sending has a 10 minute casting time.

[Nephrite]

I always miss that part. Let me redo that..

[Nephrite]

"I will cast a Sending outside your cave then, sir and see if one of ours can come to assuage your concerns." Moore says, before he heads outside the cave to cast Sending!

The Sending is thus: "We have someone who is requesting a vouch of our character and requested a Celestial. Goldenmist, It is between Positive Energy and Mineral."

Presuming we're not interrupted in the 10 minutes.

[Anastasia]

Very well.

"As you wish," the dragon says, no opposition as the two of you depart. Once outside, Moore casts his sending. The answer back is thus, "I will be here as soon as I am able," Morniel promises.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods to Arrel. "Morniel is on his way. Should we see if we can answer any more of his questions for now, or... hm. I suppose we should just wait, since he may still not trust us."

[Anastasia]

"Best to wait," Arrel agrees, glancing over at Afina, "We shouldn't be much longer, fortune with us."
