Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

A bit of alter reality lets you know she's gravely injured but not in immediate risk of death. She needs healing for certain though.

"A pixie tonight?" she calls back, "That is a pixie, isn't it?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Sister, introduce yourself and find out."

Alyssa grins at her sister.

Can I use Opportunistic Piety to heal her?

[Anastasia]

You could just use Alter Reality if you want to to intervene again. Either way.

"Alihana," she calls as she comes around and opens the door.

"Honeydip," Is the pixie's greeting as she flies in, "Your home is nice."

An awkward pause there, a stretch a moment before, "Well, come in and sit down," Alihana invites.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa continues to monitor Araseis for now, but holds off interfering.

Alyssa pokes Alihana in the shoulder as she passes, "Stop being nervous," and goes in to sit down herself.

[Anastasia]

Alihana huffs out a breath as Araseis meanwhile escapes, hurrying out.

All of you sit and there's a pause before, "I have no idea what to talk to a fairy about," Alihana confesses. "Flowers? Kidnapping babies?"

"That," Lady Honeydip's voice is severe, "Would be the Unseelie Court, not the Court of Stars."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa snorts a bit and chuckles, "How about just asking her the same questions you ask everyone? Likes, dislikes, favorite foods, friends, and the likes."

[Anastasia]

"My favorite blade is my short sword here, Fairy Wind," Lady Honeydip cuts in. "I find hezrou the most pleasing demon to slay, as they offend me with their foulness. I expect my orders to be carried out swiftly but with intelligence, and flexibility within them."

Alihana starts to speak, stops. "There's militant pixies?" she asks at last, voice small.

"I lead an army against the Abyss," Lady Honeydip explains, "I am a leader of soldiers, a general."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa pokes at Honeydip, "Family dinner, remember."

[Anastasia]

Lady Honeydip merely says, "Well then, Alihana?"

"Uh..." Alihana flails for several seconds, verbally lost. "How is the Abyss?"

"Hellish. Miserable. It exists to torment evil souls without restraint and contain the many and myriad demons that form there. It is no place for anyone but the most wicked, but its very nature requires intervention to stop many of the horrors within."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa rolls her eyes and taps the table, "I declare there shall be no more work talk at the dinner table. Honeydip, why don't you tell her about Queen Morwel's court? There's some beautiful places to visit, are there not?"

[Anastasia]

Give me a Diplo check here.

[Iron Dragoon]

Diplo:

[blockquote]Rolled 1d20+68 : 16 + 68, total 84[/blockquote]

[Anastasia]

That at least stops the current conversation before walk of the Court begins. As it does, "Oh, Alyssa," Mother pokes her head out, "Come in here, we're almost ready."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa stands and heads in!

[Anastasia]

It's a peaceful enough dinner. Everyone settles into it with your guest.

"You're a blacksmith?" Honeydip asks as conversation goes around the table.

"I do a lot of smithing," FAther agrees over it, a deep nod to the pixie, "Do you have the inclination, miss?"

"Only enough to know a good sword or shield," Lady Honeydip demurs, "Unless a pixie uses magic, making weapons big enough for most creatures is impossible."
