Average Noble x Exposition Woman C

[7:18 PM] Flamy: you know i should probably log all this
[7:18 PM] Flamy: before
[7:18 PM] Flamy: you know
[7:18 PM] Flamy: the campaign's over
[7:19 PM] Flamy: But let's not dwell on topics like that, what's more pressing is that you're after... Rina? Typical of a wyvern rider, she's dismounted her wyvern, and returned to "base", for all a small fort can be worth as a base. "Hey there! You needing something, Tawn?"
[7:30 PM] Tawn: "Not particularly, just that you're one of the few members of our group I've not had the pleasure of having a one on one conversation with. I was hoping to get to know you a little better. Aside from the fact that your father is Lord Wurger, all I really learned from my earlier conversation with Rika is that she has rather...strong opinions regarding Katarin and Rowan."(edited)
[7:47 PM] Flamy: She gives you a rather bemused look, then shrugs. "I mean, it's not really the best time to talk to one another about ourselves, but hey, better we get out of this friends, rather than enemies." Rina places a finger on her chin. "Hmmm... I mean, I like flying, I take part in the occasional race, and oh! Lord Wurger actually figured that he should send all of us to the militia, after I got so successful... well, 'successful'. They figured that to keep us focused, we'd have to be assigned to different areas. Riri- my little sis, by the way- to Argentum, Rika to Kae, and me to Aurelia." She blinks, then looks at her hand. "Hm, come to think of it, there's no intelligence division for Shan. Really makes you think..."
[8:04 PM] Tawn: "That's...strange certainly. Why would there be a division for every other country besides Shan? I'll admit to being ignorant of the political situation there, but what could be going on that would either make an intelligence division either impossible or not worth setting up?" Tawn wonders. "Perhaps I ought to call in a favor with my brother and see if he can pull some strings with father's spy network? Get some information on just what the hell is going on?" it was far from a perfect idea, Tawn would be the first to admit, but better than no idea at all. "And then there's also that Royle character, as well. He supposedly was KIA, yet he seemed very much alive...most peculiar..."
[8:13 PM] Flamy: "All things considered, those Shannans do have some strange habits. They worship dragon skeletons, for one. Sure, near-perfectly preserved dragon skeletons, but dead dragons, nonetheless. And I know for a FACT that they have some extremist factions in that place, some of them named after stuff from the books. I've never heard of any getting out of Shan, so maybe the higher-ups don't think they're worth our time! Or..." Rina gets a real mischevious look. "Maybe they've infiltrated our government, and stopped us from doing so." She'd let out a good laugh at this, the sort that you'd expect the daughter of a noble house to possess. "But that's impossible. We got air superiority! We'd see anything in water, no problem. Say, about your brother... Remind me, was he the one saying stuff about Dark Magic being a legitimate form of magic a couple months ago or so, or am I thinking of Sir Blanchet?"
[8:28 PM] Tawn: "It's been almost a year since I was home last, but when last I'd checked James studied Anima Magic, not Dark, so I'd wager it was Blanchet. I've read a bit of what Dark Magic can do, nothing too detailed, but nasty stuff nonetheless." Tawn shudders at the memory. "Regarding your thoughts on why we don't have a Shannan intelligence division, while I think the former is by far more likely, I wouldn't entirely rule out the latter."
[8:34 PM] Flamy: She'd give you a shrug on the magic matter. "Magic's all the same to someone like me. It's all pretty damaging. That girl shows it real well, and Light Magic's usually pretty weak, last I recall. And while we're on that girl, no, I don't think she's suspicious, because she's been acting stable ever since we found her, if a little eccentric at times. As such, we can rule her out. No problem for me, I find her little... ceremonies charming." She snaps her fingers at this time. "Oh, before I forget. I managed to receive a message. Apparently, they're sending in some help for us." Beat. "Not like we need it. We're holding pretty well on our own, I'd say... TOO well."
[8:54 PM] Tawn: "I suppose I've absorbed a bit of knowledge about magic just from being around James." Tawn shrugs. "I'm glad that I'm not the only one with a positive inclination towards Katarin. Eccentric she may be, but her heart's in the right place it seems." Tawn looks surprised at the mention of help coming. "Help would definitely be appreciated. Especially if we could get a more experieced tactician. I'm doing my best, but some of our engagements have been closer than I'd prefer, especially the near-disaster that we had against those ballistae; I'm still not sure how we all made it out of there alive."
[9:07 PM] Flamy: "Wouldn't it be nice, if we could just have a bit of our burden lifted off. If I may mention, I'm... honestly surprised someone like you was that good in tactics... no offense." And so, the two of you converse on other matters, from the militia, to siblings, and other such topics. A new bond begins to form...
[9:07 PM] Flamy: >Tawn and Rina have attained a Support Rank of C!
