A Return

<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+3 Kascha (-5 surprised) --> [ 1d20=4 ]{7}

So lost in her writing, Kascha doesn't even react until you speak. "AAAAAH!" She startles, fumbling her book before it crashes to the ground.

[Corwin]

With a gesture, the book flies into Seira's hands in pristine condition. She takes a look, humming to herself. "Writing something shameful about the guest of honor?"

[Anastasia]

It's a series of mathematical equations and numerology.

"Oh no, I just had an idea I wanted to write down," Kascha says quickly, dusting herself off.

[Corwin]

"We'll get you blushing yet," Seira promises. "So how're things at our neighbors's places?"

[Anastasia]

"About the same as always. Elementals and the like aren't big on changing," Kascha admits, "It's always earth this, fire that, wind now, water good."

[Corwin]

"Oh, come on! You're on a goodwill trip for the Cauldron! I can't recall the last time we held one of those for our neighbors! And at such a portentous time, even aside from Amaryl's ascension or our recent accomplishments. Please tell me it's fun and that you've won a few over with your adorable nature." Seira winks at Kascha. "Please?"

[Anastasia]

"Well..." Kascha draws it out before giggling. "Of course I did. I made friends and made good impressions."

[Corwin]

"That's my girl!"

[Anastasia]

"See, I can take care of things," Kascha says, leaning in. "I checked in on Surraruthru, too. He's doing well, if a bit focused on his hoard and magic right now."

[Corwin]

"Did I give you that impression, at any time?" Seira asks her. She certainly hopes not! And she's rarely subtle with her friends when something bothers her, having seen the effects of miscommunication many times during her life. "Don't worry, my power's making sure no one can hear us."

[Anastasia]

"Oh Seira, I'm teasing," Kascha smiles at that, reaching out to muss your hair. "Everyone seems to like teasing me, but you're fun to tease, too."

[Corwin]

Seira snorts, reaching over to pinch Kascha's cheeks. "You're adorable and nothing will change that!" she insists.

[Anastasia]

"Ow!" Kascha says as she blushes, "Seeeira!"

[Corwin]

There's that blush!

"Alright, alright," Seira relenets, grinning happily. "Let's talk about your trip, then. Does anyone want something, like Chan that time Donald came across her? Was anyone receptive to elemental unity?"

[Anastasia]

"Zaaman Rul could use a favor," Kascha says, "He could use someone to retrieve something of his lost in Astral, but it'll require some potent magic to track it down."
