Study group (Lucy)

[Corwin]

"Rainbow is visiting?" Lucy asks, perking up.

[Nephrite]

"I suppose we're attracting all sorts of attention right now." Moore agrees.

[Anastasia]

"Yes, the generals and a few others involved are dealing with it," Elena says, "Step carefully, even a friendly slaad is volatile, so don't make things worse, whatever you do."

[Corwin]

Since that's really a foolish request given a slaad, Lucy glances over at Moore for guidance.

[Nephrite]

"For now, we may as well continue the tour." Moore says with a smile. "If we happen to cross paths with Renbuu, we'll just have to improvise."

[Corwin]

The next mages on my list are Tepen, Balyss and Simmer, and we skipped Kascha before since she was unavailable.

[Anastasia]

Tepen's here but watching the spectacle, so that would draw you more into it. Balyss isn't, if you wanna go to her and avoid that. Your call.

[Corwin]

Let's go chat with Tepen, what could go wrong?

[Anastasia]

Tepen's nearby the gates, watching the spectacle silently, standing with Sage Vul'lath. They're absorbed in it as...

Go ahead, you two.

[Corwin]

"Does this sort of thing happen often?" Lucy asks the pair quietly as she approaches, trusting in Moore to handle the actual introduction afterwards.

[Nephrite]

"It's been... um... Well." Moore clears his throat. "No, not really. At least not visitors of this magnitude. Tepen, Vul'lath, this is Lucy. Lucy, Elder Magi Tepen and Sage Vul'lath."

[Anastasia]

Tepen glances over, "Not commonly, no. Not like this."

[Corwin]

"Yes, that would make more sense," Lucy agrees, nodding at both of them. "Is that why almost everyone is watching from afar?"

[Nephrite]

"I think in this case it's that no one wants to end up permanently a different color." Moore says.

[Corwin]

"Fair enough," Lucy agrees. "Looking fabulous is not for everyone."
