Midnight RPG - Chapter 32.104

Setting

During the trip to Durn's Hold, while walking through the woods as part of the refugee caravan. Kyuad and his minions hold back, as a precausion. Surrounded by the skeletons of well-armed orcish soldiers, Kyuad glides soundlessly through the underbrush.

Conversation

Collune joins Kyuad as they walk, because Nisse had come to her and motioned for her to hold back and wait for Kyuad.

Kyuad

Kyuad greets his former teacher warmly. He speaks to her with an attitude of respect and defferance. For many years he had been her student and apprentice, and though he was now a journeyman, released from her control, he still looks to her as his better and a person to be admired. "It is good to see you again. I cannot tell you how comforting it is to have you with us. Even after I left your library to go off on my own, I still feel the need to have you nearby to answer my questions. I am glad to see you are well, also. Dierro had given me quite a lot to worry about when last he and I spoke. I trust that the Witch Queen and the druids of the elves were hospitable?"

Collune

Looking up at her tall apprentice Collune cups his hand in hers as they walk, her gesture is not only of care for her longtime friend but also of quizzical interest in the furthering evolution of her friend's "condition"... She doesn't ask, for she knows this is the way of magics. Yet still in a pure research sense, this "change" is intriguing. Collune turns his hand over in his remembering when the man was a boy...
"Positively, Kyuad. The Caransil of the Erethor are a most fascinating people. Polite and kind, I found them but at the same time distant as if their thoughts are embraced in the world's yesterday and tomorrow as opposed to living in today. Donot mistake me Kyuad, they are clearly a people of strength and they reach out to their own with vigor daily. Yet they seem to lack the passion of the human soul. My time in the Hamlet taught me so much, our studies could never have breached.

Though I heard much from the council of the Witch Queen, as far as I know she remains in Caradul. I was able to teach while staying at the Hamlet, but it seemed for every fact and tidbit I gave on our eldritch ways and the studies of man's innards, I also learned a great deal about the way of the people. Did you know that for as much the Kaldrunes are said to be the "spine" of the world, the Elven Councilhall, the Witch Queen's home ..."

***WORKING***

Kyuad

When Kyuad had felt that there had been enough small talk, he interjects, "I am sure that you have many questions for me, Miss Collune. Let us talk, if you like."
