<7:44> <willows> The mountains in the distance are slowly coming to be familiar to the Scroll and Sword Circle, as they circle back to the Red Crow village where the pre-Red Phion is imprisoned/apprenticed. The guards at the border stop them. "Who are you?"
<7:45> * Malic steps to the front, having assumed once again the guide of Moulting Grouse. "I am Wandering Osprey's apprentice, these are his friends. He follows behind us, but asked that we come ahead to speak with your shaman."
<7:45> * Arkadi sighs and mutters in old realm "You know, this whole 'no oen remembers us' deal is gettign REAL old'
<7:45> * Malic looks at Arkadi "No one remembers you because they don't want to..." he mutters back
<7:47> <willows> A look of vague recognition passes on the guard's face. "Oh, yes yes, of course. Sorry, didn't recognize you. Poor lighting." It's quite sunny out. They step aside.
<7:48> * Malic nods and smiles "Of course. Here, have some of this." Malic hands them some of the beef he bought from that weird vendor..
<7:49> <willows> The guards murmur appreciatively.
<7:49> * Arkadi chuckles a bit and follows right behidn Malic
<7:50> * Gia hides a smile as she follows behind Malic.
<7:50> * Hollow Moth? follows the men, smiling prettily at the guards.
<7:51> * Malic heads over to the shaman's shack and knocks on the door politely.
<7:52> <willows> The shaman opens the door and is mildly surprised to see Moulting Grouse there.
<7:54> * Malic makes a decent bow and rises smiling at the older man. "It is good to see you again, *whateveryournameis*. My master will be along shortly, but he sent myself and our companions ahead to speak with you."
<7:55> <willows> Pheasant Bows nods. "Please, come in. You've been travelling?" He gestures at their dirt-stained boots and clothes.
<7:56> <Malic> "Yes. We had some buisness to attend to. How has Phion fared? And yourself, of course."
<7:58> <willows> "We're both very well, thank you. He seems to be learning very quickly. I have high hopes." He indicates a water-bowl for the travellers, in case they with to wash their faces and hands.
<7:59> * Gia smiles gratefully, and daintily washes away the dust from her hands.
<7:59> * Malic bows again and washes his face thoroughly before seating himself across from the Shaman. "I am sure he will fulfill them. My master is well versed in the signs."
<7:59> * Arkadi scrubs himself off, not nearly so daintily 'Thanks'
<7:59> * Hollow Moth? does likewise, inclining her head gratefully.
<8:00> <willows> "And how are the rest of you? I'm not certain we've been introduced."
<8:00> * Arkadi doesn't know the language, sadly...so he cna only shrug
<8:01> <Malic> "This is Arkadi, he is a mute, please excuse him. He committed a henios crime long ago and had his tongue removed. He has reformed since them."
<8:02> <Malic> "And these are master Osprey's charming companions, Gia and Fluttering Moth"
<8:02> <Gia> "My name is Gia. Thank you for your hospitality," she says in fluent woodtongue, and does not communicate her amusement at Malic's statement to her face.
<8:03> <Malic> "Oh, and this is Burning Ember, another good friend." Malic guestures at the very-quiet young girl sitting behind Moth and Gia.
<8:04> <willows> Ember nods.
<8:05> * Hollow Moth? smiles prettily and vacantly.
<8:05> <willows> Phion wanders into the room. He's dressed in the rather dramatic ritual garb of a shaman hard at work; its hanging beads announce his approach long before he walks through the door.
<8:06> <Malic> "How has Phion and his folk adapted to their new circumstances? Well, I hope? Ah, there he is." Malic waves cheerily at the young man
<8:07> <willows> "Ten Bears, please."
<8:07> * Malic looks blank. "Excuse me?"
<8:07> <willows> "The young man's adopted a shaman's name. I must have forgotten to mention," Pheasant bows explains.
<8:07> <Malic> "Oh. Very well. I apologize, Ten Bears."
<8:10> <willows> The shaman apprentice sets to unbuckling his various vests and pieces of spiritual armor. "No matter. What brings you here today?"
<8:11> <Malic> "Oh, just checking on the area."
<8:11> <willows> Ten Bears grunts.
<8:13> <Malic> "
<8:14> <Malic> "I see you've been performing a warding ritual. Do you think you could talk with my friend Burning Embers about it? She doesn't have much experiance with them and Master Osprey likes his apprentices to learn from other people. Opens up new paths."
<8:14> * Malic glances at Ember to remind her of their plan.
<8:14> <willows> "Oh, yes! Master Osprey did say something like that."
<8:15> <willows> Pheasant Bows nods subtly to Ten, who says something politely agreeing.
<8:18> * Arkadi pinches the bridg eof his nose...this had better work
<8:19> <willows> "I'm just taking a little break right now, while the reagents settle. We can go back there and discuss some things before we get back to work, if you'd like," he says. The Circle all take note of Phion's dramatically changed demeanour. While still surly, there is an air of satisfaction about him that was not present previously.
