Market

[bedevere]

Yes, you carry the same odd scent as Malfurion and that Rath Narlin do. I take it you were in the same ritual?

Did you go into it knowing what you faced? Or did you find out afterwards?

[Gumboots]

*At this point her daughter clings tight of her and she struggels to make her grip lessen.*

"That is not a good subject at the moment, I am supprised that she has not dissappeared yet. Yes I was, no I did not, found out during but changed so much. Sorry about the tornadoes and the blinding lights. Shhhhh calm down I am ok and so are you."

*Her daughter seemed to let go a little and then just dissappear into nowhere. Lucy raises an eyebrow.*

"Oh well at least I can feel where she is."

[bedevere]

*Nathaniel sniffs briefly again*

Hmm. Uncontrolled magics, I take it? A lot of those about these days.

I learned the dangers of a ritual circle first hand, as well. A friend died in battle, and several of us decided that he did not deserve what had happened, so we sought to restore him to life. We succeeded, but it took a lot out of all of us. I still haven't recovered...

*As he is walking, Nathaniel picks seemingly random herbs, and begins mixing them in a mortar and pestle from his bag. After a while, he mixes the powder into a solution, and passes the bottle to Lucy*

Here. Drink this, it should help.

[Gumboots]

*Lucy frowns at it.*

"A man that I have just meet is leading me away from relative saftey and is now giving me a potion that could possibly kill me. Umm is it wise for me to do that? Oh I am a sourceress."

*She looks at the liquid puts a little bit on her finger concentrates smiles then licks her finger and drings a potion. After a minute she starts tickerling what she is holding in her arms, girly giggles are now coming from her and gentle chuckels are coming from Lucy.*

[bedevere]

No offence to you, Miss, but if I wanted to harm you, I would do it a lot more efficiently than asking you to drink something in a polite manner.

Still, you are right to question my motives. Clearly you have learned some wisdom in your time. Always a useful thing, even if only to know what your mistakes have been...

[Gumboots]

*Lucy looks in pain and speaks with a small lump in her throat.*

"Sir, you do not know me. I know the mistakes I have made and paid for them. I am a possible widow, I went into service hence 7 kids. I am not proud of it but it was the only thing that I could do to keep funding. Left to my own devices left on my own, left with just a shack over my head. Ahhhh at least it was home."

[bedevere]

*Nathaniel listens for a while, and walks on in silence, while thinking things over*

You are a lot wiser than you let on, I think. Possibly, even to yourself.

[Gumboots]

*Lucy stops and bends down to a plant that was flowering and picks the flower. As she straighterns it dissappears infront of her. A gentle giggle comes from her arms and she smiles.*

"Oh her name is Milli and she loves to hide. That flower has been told to protect you against evil things. I think I need to leave soon.. I mean I may need to dissappear soon myself. In that case would you please take Milli back to the village for me and tell my two eldest that I wont be long."

[bedevere]

As you wish, though I must confess, I would be fascinated to know what is going on.

If it is anything I can help with, other than passing on your message, feel free to ask. I have spent too much time inactive, and am quite happy to jump into situations without thinking things through as much as I would like.

[Gumboots]

*Lucy looks at him.*

"I am not sure where I am going, I just know that I will be going. Right we need to move fast, it is not far now is it?"

[bedevere]

Almost there, indeed. If the wind blows the trees in the right direction, then the Boltab groves are sometimes visible over the next hill.

[Gumboots]

*Lucy followed in quiteness for some time just trying to see ahead.*

"You know it will be better if you could see around trees. Did I not hear that the undead still lurked around this area?"

[bedevere]

Last I checked, there were no signs of undead in the area. A few might head this way, but the patrols from Narturlin tend to catch them quickly enough.

*Nathaniel sniffs the air carefully*

I cannot smell any around, which means they are either not there, or concealed incredibly well. If the latter, then we'd be best off running anyway.

[Gumboots]

*Lucy looks startled*

"Running? Oh well, I only need ten leaves for the soup that is all I need."

[bedevere]

Is that all? I have that much on me.

Still, it is better I show you the groves, and how to properly collect what you need in future.

We had best not be too slow though, I am fairly sure there is a storm coming. Probably be here tonight, or maybe tomorrow, though it might get here early.
