Migor looks overwhelmed. he follow along with an open maw, not looking where he walking, as his eyes try to swallow all the sights, his nosrls try to enhale all the smells.

Savra practically stomps all the way to a large estate in the outskirts of the town. The elaborately-dressed guards stare at her in disbelief as she approaches them.
"Yes, it's me," she snaps. "Take me to the Lord and Lady, if you please."
They wordlessly motion for the group to follow them into the house.

As Iroas follows after her, he turns to his two companions. "I just wanted to say, I realize this was not your initial quest, and I appreciate that you two have worked with me this far regardless."

Braedon nodded his head, "You have proven yourself a stalwart companion, and we may have need of allies as honorable as yourself if we manage to track down Migor's cult." He shrugged, a little uncomfortable with the praise, "Besides we got to ride griffons," a childlike smile on his face, "that was worth the trip in my humble opinion."

Migor nod. "God-servant-man is a good man. Also city is big and fancy. I like it." and follow along

Savra laughs. "I'm glad I could provide the opportunity!" Her smile instantly fades when she sees two nobles waiting for her. A man with a gruff expression, and a woman with a strained smile on her face.
"My dear Savra! You've returned!" she remarks, arms open wide.
"You don't sound surprised," Savra retorts.
"Well, I never thought you'd really stay. Simply teenaged rebellion, and all. You must be the member of the Gauntlet responsible for bringing my little girl home," she says to Iroas. "Allow me to--"
"I'm not coming home, mother."
Nobody says anything for several seconds.

Braedon stepped forward, and gave the older man a nod of respect, "Master Belebranta, we have accompanied your daughter a great distance, not so we could return her to you, but out of respect for the bond of family." With a hand he indicated the woman beside him, "In my brief time with her, she has taught this old soldier how to ride and handle a griffon, how to hunt for, and battle a manticore. She has acquitted herself with honor, courage and respect." He sighed, "At first she resisted our plea that she return home, fearful that she would be trapped at home, treated as a fragile, cherished *thing*, rather than a woman born. We convinced her that she owed it to her father to see him a last time, and prove she was capable of thriving in the greater world."

Migor add his bit. "If you force her to stay she will whine a not. Neither of you will be happy"

"I persuaded Lady Savra to return and speak with you, to let you know she is safe and well so you did not worry," Iroas states. "I do not believe she wishes things to go back to the way they were, however. She is an adult now, and capable of making her own choices."

"...what!?" Savra's mother sputters. "But you can't just--"
"Let her," says her father.
"But then our estate--"
"A reluctant, bitter heir is worse than none at all. Let her go. She is a free woman, now." He turns to Savra. "But you are no longer part of this family, or welcome here. Do you understand?"
She nods resolutely.
"Good. Now, get out."
The guards escort the four out of the estate.
"...well, that went better than expected," Savra quips.

Braedon watched, incredulously, as the man stripped the young woman of her family name for simply, not wanting to stay with her family. He took a menacing step forward, "You are a small and petty man," he nodded towards Savra, "she showed more courage in coming here, to face you, to tell you she is doing well, and you can't summon the decency to accept her for who she is, and support her choices?!?" He spit on the ground at the man's feet, and let himself be escourted out of the estate. "Bit of a dick if ya ask me."OOC: As a father, IRL, gotta say, I am furious at this guy.

"I suppose you can see why I was eager to get out," Savra says. "He, uh...well, yeah..." She trails off. OOC: Yeah, I don't like him either.

Migor shrug. "And that why we leave the eggs to an expert."

"I am truly sorry, my lady," Iroas says once they are back outside. "I had hoped they would have been more interested in reconciliation. What will you do now?"

"Well, joining the Order of the Gauntlet is my end goal, I suppose. But we still have the Feathergale Knights to deal with. You know, whether they're actually cultists or not."
