"Funny, no?"

<-- Gurashi, apologizing to Kreon about the temple incident, then asking Kreon questions like how it feels to have a wife who lives in NC while she lives in Glomdoring

You have emoted: Gurashi gazes up at Kreon, their expression hard to read. As they are given an answer, they furrow their brow, writing: 'miss auriella still likes light though - does she ever worry?' They purse their lips.

You look at Kreon, expression filled with concern as you frown.

Fiddling with her wedding ring, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "Sometimes, she believes that one day we will fight against each other again."

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "For now I know I cannot leave, I have decided to make the Glomdoring my home for the foreseeable future."

You have emoted: Gurashi looks down at Kreon's hand, their frown deepening. Finally they add: 'would give her to Wyrd though, in end? when comes to that point and wyrd takes over all of the Basins??' THey hold up the notepad, their eyes shiny.

You look at Kreon, expression filled with concern as you frown.

Khasur Stormcrow sweeps in from the ether like a bad omen, her eyes sweeping about in quick, canny glances.

You stare ahead, looking utterly wounded.

Kreon bows respectfully to Khasur Stormcrow.

You blink.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says to Khasur Stormcrow, "How may I be of service."

You have emoted: Gurashi lowers the notepad slowly, taking a step back and bowing to Khasur Stormcrow politely.

"Shadow Witch," Khasur Stormcrow intones, smiling. She spares a quick glance toward you and then chuckles. "How is the, ah..." she trails off, still smiling lightly.

Kreon chews on her lip, deep in thought.

You have emoted: Gurashi stares at Khasur Stormcrow suddenly, wide-eyed, their expression twisting from confusion to concern, then something deeper, determined, frustrated.

Khasur Stormcrow tilts her head, rather bird-like and quick, her wings ruffling behind her. "Gurashi, you should truly try not to emote so much. Someday, your face will pop, and then how will you feel?

You think to yourself: ** a wash of nerve-wracking blistering white fear, silvery anticipation, ruddy gray - they mean Akuuko **.

With a slight sigh, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says to Khasur Stormcrow, "Alright so far, was on my way to check."

You blink.

Kreon's mouth turns up as her face breaks into a smile.

Khasur Stormcrow nods her head at Kreon.

You have emoted: Gurashi puffs their cheeks at this, looking confused.

You have emoted: Gurashi looks up at Kreon almost desperately, furrowing their brow.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "I was just held up by our little bug, curious by nature about how my lover is taking me being sworn to the Glomdoring and Mistress."

You think to yourself: ** a sound like breaking glass **.

You have emoted: Gurashi blinks once - then twice.

Khasur Stormcrow taps her chin in thought.

Serenely, Khasur Stormcrow says, "You know, our Mistress once called Gurashi Her bumblebee. Funny, no?"

Khasur Stormcrow appraises you briefly and then snorts.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "Does She not now, I tend to sleep a during the time She seems to be present and been a bit oblivious of events as of late."

You have emoted: Gurashi furrows their brow, gripping the notepad tightly.

Kreon chews on her lip, deep in thought.

Bowing slightly, Khasur Stormcrow says, "I've only come to make sure Her prize is safe. I see that you will ensure it is, Shaow Wich?"

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says to Khasur Stormcrow, "Of course, I will not fail Her, my Oath to Her stands."

You have emoted: Gurashi gazes at Khasur Stormcrow with a torn expression, biting their lower lip.

Pausing, Khasur Stormcrow says, "Well, no. Not since Bumblebee became something else altogether."

Kreon ponders for a moment and says "Hrm..."

Kreon ponders you thoughtfully, looking you up and down.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose asks, "A wakabi as of late?"

Thinking for a flicker of a moment, making a great show of taking her time, Khasur Stormcrow says, "Something about small rodents on a ship? Anchors? I'm not certain anymore. Her thoughts are myriad and complex."

Kreon smiles softly.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "Oh that is what She ment."

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "Now everything is becoming a bit more clear."

You have emoted: Gurashi's tail wags anxiously once, and they look down at their notepad, staring at the page and lifting their quill. But Kreon speaks and they look up again, frowning.

You look at Kreon, expression filled with concern as you frown.

You think to yourself: ** ruddy washes of crimson and gray - am not a rat - rats are mean and do damage am not ... would never ... **.

You have emoted: Gurashi looks between Khasur Stormcrow and Kreon, as if trying to read something between the two.

Shrugging, Khasur Stormcrow says, "At any rate, I am off now to do more of Her work."

Kreon nods her head emphatically.

Khasur Stormcrow bows respectfully to Kreon.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "I will check on our guest then proceed to this Timequake."

Kreon curtseys gracefully before Khasur Stormcrow.

Olethea arrives from the south.

Khasur Stormcrow looks briefly at you and snorts.

You have emoted: Gurashi watches Khasur Stormcrow, their knuckles white. Suddenly they write: 'when can see?'

Olethea blinks.

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "May the shadows guide you dearest Khasur."

Olethea curtseys gracefully.

You tilt your head, gaze softening as you frown.

Khasur Stormcrow says, "And you, Shadow Witch."

With a slight, imperious nod, Khasur Stormcrow sweeps out to the east.

You think to yourself: ** the ruddy becoming cooler, deeper shades of blue **.

Kreon giggles happily.

Olethea tilts her head curiously.

You have emoted: As if they'd been holding their breath the entire encounter, Gurashi suddenly slumps in their spot.

Olethea blinks incredulously at you.

Proselyte Olethea, Euphony of the Dark Heart says, "I have... missed something."

You shake your head.

Kreon stands before you and places strokes your cheek. She says "You see, She is always watching, do behave my little bug".

In a low, soothing voice, Shadow Witch Kreon Zayah, the Blood Rose says, "Now then I will be at the rift in a moment."

You have emoted: Gurashi flinches at Kreon's touch, frowning, expression twisting with grief.

You think to yourself: ** deepening isolation **.

You nod your head emphatically.
