Successful Mission

[Bjorn]

"Ah, that story," Bjorn says, with a faint smile.  "That's not quite as good as the story of a man with a thousand faces, though, and the time he scorched the valley of glass."

[Brian]

"Oh, him," she says, distastefully.  "I do not like him.  But we both know these stories, and therefore, there is something I would like to discuss with you."

[Bjorn]

Bjorn nods, slowly.  "Perhaps it would clear some of the troubles on my mind to speak with you, after all," he says, thoughtfully.  "I am afraid that I am first required to deliver a message to Master Radagast.  Is this a discussion that we might have while we walk?"

[Brian]

Lindsey hesitates, but nods.  "There is some that should wait until we're in a more private location," she warns, then following you.

[Bjorn]

"That seems likely," Bjorn agrees, walking off towards Radagast's study.

[Brian]

The other two vassals just walk on quietly, saying nothing.

"How long have you been here?" Lindsey asks, attempting to make conversation.

[Bjorn]

"That's actually an excellent question," Bjorn says.  "It's easy to lose track, what with days and nights being the way they are."  Bjorn eyes her vassals.  "It's good to see that you have faithful servants," he notes.  "I greatly miss my brethren.  Have you been working with these men for long?"

[Brian]

"As long as I can remember being in Aestock's service, they've always looked out for me," she answers.  "How well did you know your bretheren?"

[Bjorn]

"We were all cut from the same cloth," Bjorn says, shrugging.  "Perhaps we did not talk as much as we might have, but then, between us, words were often unproductive.  True friends, unfortunately, are few for men such as myself.  And, I imagine, for priestesses as well?  I'd guess you have few acquaintances, and of those, not many here."

[Brian]

"Very true," she says, sighing a bit. "You had a friend who died in that prison you escaped, yes?"

At about this point, you've reached the door to Radagast's study, the guards still standing there and not letting anyone through with weapons.

[Bjorn]

"Ah, if you'll pardon me just a second, Mistress," Bjorn says apologetically.  Handing his sword to the guards outside Radagat's room, he raps briefly, and then steps inside.

[Brian]

Her vassals remain behind, and she follows you in.  Radagast is currently muttering to himself and poring over his schematics.  "Oh," he says, looking up and seeing the pair of you.  "How may I help you?"

[Bjorn]

"A return message, Master Radagast," Bjorn says, drawing out the piece of paper.  "Lord Kevin would like it delivered at convenience."

[Brian]

"Ah," Radagast says, taking the slip of paper, and studying it.  He frowns, and concentrates for a minute.  "Done," he says, then, handing you the paper back.

[Bjorn]

Bjorn waves the paper away.  "Please keep it," he says, half-laughingly, "I have no use for it." Sobering slightly, he says, "I believe there were matters related to this night's defense we had to discuss, but Mistress Lindsey wishes to speak with me, first.  After we are done, I shall return, if you find that acceptable."
