Building

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I'm very happy to hear that. I want you all to know you're certainly welcome here at any time you want. I'm trying to find ways to spread word of this place right now." He says. "It's important for me to start the process of diplomacy with my neighbors, after all." 

[Anastasia]

"Thank you, Lord Moore," The human bows his head to you in gratitude.

"It will be as you will," The deva agrees with that. "Shall we spread your word?"

[Nephrite]

"I don't expect that you'd do it freely." Moore says, as some of his books appear in front of the three of them. "Either in spirit or in practice. Whatever I or Hope's Landing can do for you in return will be done. Don't ever hesitate to ask of me to return the favor to you."

[Anastasia]

The deva bows and takes what is given, then flies off as if on a mission.

The human takes one as well, cracks it open to read.

The dwarf merely stands and begins to walk, only a glance at you as he does.

[Nephrite]

Moore beams with some amount of pride over all of this.

Is this how everyone got started? Surely they had to take a more active role in some things, didn't they...?

Well, for now, this is a good start.

He's happy to handle any other event flags that have popped up.

[Anastasia]

Follow me.

You hear that as the dwarf walks away and you make no move to follow.

[Nephrite]

Moore will turn and dutifully follow!

Hello, Lord Moradin.

[Anastasia]

You walk without response to that, until the human is left behind.

So it's all of you now?

[Nephrite]

Yes, that is correct. We have a lot of work ahead.

[Anastasia]

It seems to be Zaphkiel's will.

[Nephrite]

We have been blessed to have many allies in our fights. I intend to return as much of that to the rest of Celestia as best as I am able. This place was a home to me long before any of this happened, and I don't intend to forget what I learned as I climbed the Mountain.

[Anastasia]

You'll fit in well, like a stone in a quarry.

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles at that.

You honor me, Dwarf Father. Were you just here to size me up, or is there something more specific I can do for you? I have no doubt you and yours can handle yourselves, of course. We have a lot of building to do ourselves, and what better way than by helping our neighbors?

[Anastasia]

For now, grow. I'll watch.

[Nephrite]

Moore simply nods, no words need be said in response to that.
