wakes up early and goes to the loung Hmm. I guess everyone else is sleeping.

-yawns as she walks in, her pink hair a mess- Morning!!

as the mid day sun passes over the adventures hall, the smell of exotic foods and delicacies wafts through the air as lunch is being served in the dining hall.

(walks in and sits down) I wonder what's for lunch?

(already in the dining hall sitting at the table looking at the menu. Thinking)

(walking into the dining hall)

(sitting at the dining table) Just hope there's vegetarian options.

Sizzling Skewered Wyvern: Succulent wyvern meat marinated in exotic spices, skewered and grilled to perfection. Served with a side of flame-kissed vegetables and dragonberry chutney. Vegetarian Enigma Platter: A medley of enchanted vegetables, herb-infused quinoa, and roasted mushrooms, creating a vegetarian delight. Paired with a drizzle of tangy herb dressing for a burst of flavor. Bard's Bounty Burger: A colossal burger featuring a flame-grilled orcish beef patty, topped with crispy bacon, aged cheddar, and a zesty secret sauce. Served with seasoned orc fries on the side. Dwarven Forge Feast: Dive into a savory platter of slow-cooked dwarf-style braised boar, accompanied by hearty root vegetables and ale-infused gravy. A true taste of dwarven craftsmanship. Harvest Moon Salad Platter: An array of celestial flavors featuring lunar-kissed greens, stardust-infused berries, and crystalline celestial nuts. Drizzled with a moonlit vinaigrette, this salad platter is a refreshing cosmic treat.

Definitely the Vegetarian Platter!

Bard Burger? Love that!

I'll take the Dwarven Feast

I'm thinking Skewerd Wyvern

So, how has everyone been so far today?

{Is eating his Burger}

Starved....I skipped breakfast

So did I ironically...

So did I, forgot how your portal thing works...{looks at Araavos}

Anyone got plans?

I was busy last night. So I'm sorry I wasn't there to help this morning.

It's alright. I eventually figured it out.

I stayed up all night reading. I as well missed breakfast...

Maybe you should a read a book about how to manage insomnia? You need to stop reading late at night. It's bad for you.

Don't tell me what to do.

Please no arguing at the table.

You know them, Axel. Doesn't this happen a lot?

Yes, but doesn't mean anyone wants to hear it.

I don't think it was arguing so much as it was advise out of concern. Rilith, you honestly could read into it, if it's an issue. But Nazmir, if it isn't an issue, you should respect her habits, like others respect yours.

I will. Thank you.

Fine. Just looking out for her.

Anyway, anyone got plans?

Not really.

(shrugs)

(touches chin as she thinks)Well me, Shad, Eric, and Majin are going to find a Noble's kid and rescue them. But thats not until later.

Yes, we gotta eat first and prepare ourselves. If one thing I learned in all my travels is to expect the unexpected.

You guys got this.

They damned well better, I'm not losing you again Fernessa.

Well good luck guys.

Still doesn't solve the issue, of what we do until you leave, when is it, tomorrow I'm guessing?

Yes, how'd you know?

Pff. His a god, he's smart and able to predict things with his intelligence. That's how he knows. starts eating the food Mmm~

(already done with her burger) That's no excuse. Sometimes even Gods don't know.

I could show you how this all ends. But it would only be one of many different outcomes. The problem you see is choices. Each one branching out into new possibilities. For example, should you chose not to go tomorrow, She will be tormented for several months until she is broken. Eventually, she will break, and be sold into servitude where she will eventually die, mistreated by her "owners" cold, alone, beaten and bruised. And though she won't know it. Pregnant. Her child will die shortly after still in the womb.

...Could you show me a different one than that?

There's some where you're successful. Of course. But again, it comes down to choices.

How likely are we to succeed? Do you know?

Shows her a vision of the Bandit camp

Anyways, this food is amazing. keeps eating So, what u guys gonna do today?

(upon seeing the visuon, she blinks and tears up. Shaking from fear) So....many....bandits....Oh Gods...(her heart is racing.)

What did you do, Araavos?

She asked to see. So I showed her. It's up to her and the group to decide what happens next.

Majin stretches his hand towards Fernessa's shoulder and pats it Calm down. We can pull it off. I mean, we managed to save the royal kids. We can do this.

Yeah, but we didn't have to fight much....

We can just do it again. U know, sneak around the stealthly take them out. And if it doesn't work. We show them what we got.

then*

You don't understand! There's an entire army! And let go of my shoulder! You're not helping! (Pulls Away)

lets go of her shoulder An army? Hmm. starts thinking

Yes, an army! Gods know how many!

Hmm. All I can think of is that if we manage to find the kids and free them, we'll be good cause we got an escape secured.

The teleportation scroll? What if it's single-use?!?

If it's single use than it was worth using.

You can tell me it's going to be okay all you want....but I know what I saw in that vision....that army is huge....

Well. Araavos did say that there's outcomes in which we succeed. Lets hope we manage to get those.

Your success will rely on the strengths and reliability of yourselves and your companions. If you go in divided, if you falter in your resolve, if you are not united in your cause and your goal. You will fail.

...Maybe this is a bad idea?!?!?!

Majin looks at Fernessa If u want we can change missions then.

I don't know....

Well. I remember that there was a mission about investigating a Haunted Manor and one about Dire Wolves.

Dire Wolves! That sounds.....safer....But we already agreed on the bandits.....

Well, those 2 were the mission with less coin. So I guess those 2 are the safest of the ones there. But we can convince the others to change the mission if u want.

Are you sure?

Hmm. Well, u can try. But I won't be successful unless Ik what we are dealing with.

(decided to go to the fey garden to calm herself down. Which is where she's been for a while.)

(Went to read in the lounge)

(at the bar drinking some nice wine)

(having a small snack in the dining hall)

{appears in the longue} Where is everybody?

Fernessa is in the fae garden because she freaked out over that vision you gave her, Nazmir is at the bar (points to Nazmir)

(waves while sipping her drink)

And I don't know where everyone else is

I'll....... I'll be right back..{Teleports to the Fae Garden}

(sees Araavos and jumps) Araavos! Hey, what's going on?

Someone told me, you were out here freaking out? Everything alright?

It's the bandit camp....I don't know how we're going to handle so many enemies....I saw so many...

{Takes your cheek into his hand, and kisses you to calm you down} There, relax..... You know I'm not going to let anything happen to you, right? So what can I do to help?

I don't know....I'm not even sure if we have a plan...

You know, there's nothing you can't handle if you relax, think, and show the realm what you have to offer. You got this, I know you do.{as he wipes the tears from your eyes}

(hugs him tightly. Slowly calming down.) Thank you...

Majin looks around and stays in his blob form

{Walks into the lounge and orders a drink, flirting with the bartender a little} Are you sure that's the only thing on tap tonight darling?

(rolls her eyes at Astarion. Trying to get him to notice her distain as she sighs audibly.) Can't believe you're flirting with the bartender while your wife is crying in the fae garden...

The bartender blushes a little before going back to washing the glasses

Crying in the garden? What in the realms for?

Majin looks at them

Oh my Gods, Astarion! That's the point! You don't even know! Open up your ears instead of your mouth for once! She's upset because she's scared of dying at the bandit camp! And you're not even considering checking on her?!?!

She'll be fine, It's just bandits. Besides, she's got a whole crew with her. Right Majin?

Majin looks at Astarion Well, Araavos showed her and apparently she said that they were like an army of them. So it would be good if u go check on her. Fernessa is not the type to cry unless it's something that truely worries her and that she's truly afraid of.

I'm just saying, Astarion. Pull your head out of your ass and actually pay attention to her. Actually see that she's slipping away from you as we speak!

You too Maijin? Gods is there nobody here who isn't on my ass? Rilith, you're being silly. Fernessa, slipping away from me? How much have you had darling? She's not going anywhere. But, if it'll get you off my ass, I suppose I'll go check on her..

Majin looks at Rilith Is everything okay?

Look, I sort of care about that little broccoli girl. More feel sorry for her for putting up with Astarion, but still.

{walking back... his head hung low, but also, flashing a sort of half smile as he sits back at the bar} I........ I don't think she's really that upset right now Rilith.. As much as I hate to admit it... You were right... I think I already lost her.{he says still smiling a little}

Well of course I'm right, but why are you so happy about it?!?

Majin looks at Astarion as he speaks to Rilith I don't think that smile is a happy one.

Because, you wanna know what's funny? As much as I care, despite what everyone thinks, I'm honestly happy for her. I'll never be what she needs. You're right, I wasn't there, It didn't even cross my mind to be there. She doesn't deserve that. She deserves to be happy. It's not like I'm losing her, I'll still be there to be her best friend. But I don't know how to be a husband. I'd only be holding her back.

Astarion, rn u have noticed that she deserves better. Why not try to be better and change?

Literally everyone tried to warn you, Astarion. We told you multiple times you were being a piss poor husband.

Let's face the facts Maijn. Rilith and the others are right. I'm not even upset. I should be upset, right? I'm no good for her as a husband. I'm not even sure I want to be. But I can be a good friend, Hell, I'm the best friend darling. I'll be there when she wants to have some fun, or go shopping, or see a show. But the romance? The drama, the bad days and ugly crying? Not sure I can handle that. Not sure I want to either.

Majin looks at Rilith Well, in the loving part he has been good. than looks at Astarion But in the caring part, u haven't been asking nor getting worried about her. U gotta remember that she is mortal. And well, as an old friend once told me in order to love u gotta take the risk of bearing the pain and hate that comes from it. U just gotta show her that u do worry.

Says the one who gets practically zero pussy

looks at Rilith I can get it if I wanted to. I just putting the search for it to rest and letting love find me. Plus, coaches don't play. I might be good to give tips and suggestions on it, but I'm not good at it cause I never knew how to do it myself.

Yeah, well, come back to me when you actually find love

That reminds me, at some point I gotta take you for another lesson.... Can't get better without practice, right?

Majin blushes as he hears Elandra's comment but tries to maintain his posture True, the practice is what makes the profesional.

The blushing isn't helping.... but fuck it....Araavos is busy tonight anyway. You wanna go upstairs?

Yes. My room or urs? smirks Not like it's gonna make any difference anyway. winks at Elandra

If I took you to mine, your head would explode. Or the others would explode it for you.... Araavos's demiplane and all. So it's gonna be yours bubbles.

Oh. Yeah, I forgot u are sleeping there. grabs her hand Shall we?

Lead the way

Carries her into his arms as he takes her upstairs to his room

{looks at you as if you're showing off} You know I can walk, right? But fine, have your fun.... Next time I'll just carry you lol

I would like to see that. smiles and enters the room
