Greenest KeepNighthill and Escobert halt upon the pair's approach. "Ah, Frume's squire...Henry, was it? And Miss Eliana, if I remember correctly. Good to see you both. We were just heading out to the fair. Is something the matter?" Henry throws a glance to Eliana, sucks air through his teeth and then says to Nighthill "You are correct, my Lord." a brief pause "I would like to ask you if you have any orders for me, my Lord." the squire then straightens his back, a stiff pose that tries to conceal the fear for the answer the senior Knight could give him. |

Zakkoth nod.
"I see." He pause
"May I ask what were you doing.. since our last meeting?"

"Orders?" Eliana asks softly, then shakes her head. She can't help but wonder if it is bad if Nighthill has orders for him, or is it bad if Nighthill doesn't have orders for him? "That is an...interesting way to get to the heart of the matter," she says before looking up to Nighthill. "He is afraid he has let people down," she says to the older man.

"Sleeping, mostly," Leosin replies with a sigh. "My body was in worse shape than I thought; if not for my mental discipline, and Majere's will, I doubt I would have even been able to walk out of that camp. Fortunately, my fellow monks and Falconmoon have taken good care of me throughout the night."
Greenest Keep
"Orders?" repeats Nighthill, caught a bit off guard by the request. He chuckles slightly and shakes his head. "I am not your commanding officer, lad, that would be Sir Frume. I assume he sent you here with a specific purpose. If you have not completed that objective, you should. If you have completed it, then you should report back to him."
To Eliana, he says, "Let who down? Sir Frume?"

"This town, in general," Eliana says. "You, and probably Sir Frume," she adds.

Henry - HP: 28\28 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
Henry groans a bit when Eliana shares a bit too much for his taste, then sighs and grudgingly nods "I made a choice. To bring back Leosin and his knowledge and leave the people of Greenest in the hands of the cult." the squire clears his throat, evidently uncomfortable with the whole situation "Sir Frume asked me to investigate the rumours of cult activity in the area, my Lord; I will keep doing that. Forgive me if I presume too much, but I imagine you're going to send a report to Palanthas. Would you be so kind as to send with it my report to Sir Frume? Maybe he has new orders for me."

"I made a choice. To bring back Leosin and his knowledge and leave the people of Greenest in the hands of the cult." "Indeed. And whether that will turn out to have been the right choice or the wrong one is still yet to be known," Nighthill responds. "And it is not my place to judge. But if you want my opinion, as long as those people are still alive, there is always a chance they can still be rescued." "Forgive me if I presume too much, but I imagine you're going to send a report to Palanthas. Would you be so kind as to send with it my report to Sir Frume? Maybe he has new orders for me." He nods. "Yes, I can include your report with my own. I have to admit, though, I have not even started it yet." |

Eliana takes note of the groan, but she knows that the issue would still be an issue if the information was not shared, so she doesn't feel bad about it. Instead, she smiles and pats Henry on the shoulder. She isn't going to say 'I told you', but it doesn't stop her from thinking it. "I'm sure the report that you have to write isn't nearly as important as taking care of this town," Eliana says to Nighthill. "You have a lot of work ahead of you, so I really do hope you manage to enjoy yourself when you reach the festival. The people are in high spirits."

"I meant before you came here. How cruel or kind were you life before you have involved yourself in this mess?"

Leosin chuckles. "Well, that's a long story. One I would prefer to tell when I have a bit more energy." He sags a bit, as if tired. "For now, I think I just need some more rest. You and your friends should go out and enjoy the evening. It may be awhile before you have a chance to do so again."
Greenest Keep
"Ah, I only intend to make a brief appearance, to let the people know all is well," Nighthill admits. "After that, well, like you said, I have a great deal of work still to do."

"Very well." Zakkoth give a deep bow.
"I shall let you rest. May us meet again, soon'

Chantilly SweettoothHP: 27/27 - AC: 16 - Perception: 15 - Insight: 11 - Inspiration: Yes Chantilly smiled, nodding enthusiastically: " Yes, yes, I know! One day I'm sure we'll take our land back and nature will be able to heal hers and our wounds. And maybe the pain of those who suffered will be quieted. Even if just a little." Noticing Zakkoth bidding farewell to Leosin, she then gently pulls his shoulder a bit, to make reaching his ear easier as she whispers: "Say hi to the Songmaster for me!" As she hops out of the temple she giggles as she says to Caelin: " You should really be more careful with your words, first Eliana, now this... No wonder you always end up in trouble."

"Even you should take a night off," Eliana says to Nighthill. She was sure the whole town, including the leaders were exhausted after all.

The man laughs as he gets up. "Don't worry, I will." With a wink, he then turns and walks out of the temple.

"Yes, perhaps some day soon," Nighthill agrees.

Henry - HP: 28\28 - Conditions: None - Active Effects: None
There's clearly discomfort in Henry's face, even though Eliana and Nighthill's words seems to have been helpful in allaying his fears. The squire bows and then nods to the older Knight "Thank you, my Lord. I would now take my leave, with your permission." his back straight again, Henry seems now keen to go back to the festival.
