Dust and blood

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nudges him to look into a mirror, and once he does so, lays a vision of the refugees on it and a whisper to him, Help them find a home.

[Anastasia]

A blink once and then twice, "How can I?" Is the question right back.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa sends a feeling of mild assurance and amusement, You find a way.

[Anastasia]

A long moment, "But I don't even know who they are and where they are!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Is that not how all exploration of the Horizon begins? A first for your journey. A name: Talydar.

[Anastasia]

"I will do as you command," Is the answer at that, "It will be done."

[Iron Dragoon]

I have faith in you. Be wary of interference.

And with that, Alyssa lets Croneasco begin his next journey.

[Anastasia]

It's done, with Emily's aid coming soon enough. As you watch that, another ball in play?

Next move while you're knocking things out?

[Iron Dragoon]

Check in on the other two followers.

[Anastasia]

Which ones? Gimme names and I'll sort that.

[Iron Dragoon]

Lasri and Araseis.

[Anastasia]

Lasri looks to be deep in research, amid her own collection of books, an inkpot and several quills. From the looks of it she's researching new armor forging techniques.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa steps in behind her, looking over shoulder, "What do we have here? A new forging technique? What's the inspiration?"

[Anastasia]

Lasri looks up and immediately replies, "Some of the smiths I've seen here," she explains, "I believe I can improve my own works."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Oh? Interesting... If you do create a new technique, I might have a task for you. Don't be daunted by failure. Study it and figure out what went wrong. If you can figure out why it failed, then you'll have a path to it succeeding. Just be sure you annotate both the failures and successes, both can be helpful to others walking the same path. How are you adjusting to our realm?"
