Fudou the Mountain	The might Fudou the Mountain. Chosen of...some god..somewhere in the south east. He's been coy about that.. But anyway..as far as the populace cares that's good enough for them and his reputation is well earned. IF they didnt' know before...they know now. His fists seem capable of shaking the landscape. His strength has been such he can fold and compress an iron ball like a piece of tissue. A truly monstrous barbarically huge nad muscled titan of a man... Who seems to like pillows and perfume and being pampered. Nobody ever said you had to stick to one gimmick after all. So yes, Fudou is a semi regular customer to The Chateau of Resplendant Delights. He takes advantage of its offerings and there are even...well..some stories of some attempts at satisfying his more physical needs. Attempts beimg the keyword but they are such that he keeps wandering in and today seems like a good enough day with a break from activity in the tournament to allow the colossal brute to take advantage of one of the hot springs present in the sprawling complex. It's as good a place as any to meet with friends though he's perhaps first to arrive, pounding his way into the private suite and looking over the large pool thoughtfully before starting to kick off his sandles.
Rishi	The door slides open then shut once more as the crunch of feet on sand and the rustling of fabric approaches behind Fudou, a heady musky perfume? floats forward along with a voice like smoked honey. "Well, this is being a most lovely place for having the conversations, Fudou! It is most nice that I am having the excuse to be seeing it now." Rishi, Chosen of the Lady of the Changing Waters, steps around Fudou, her bat-like wings the source of the rustling fabric...as she's apparently decided to leave all of her clothing in the changing room. She gives a warm smile to Fudou and leans forward slightly, her large chest very prominent. "So, shall we be doing the ...sliding in now? The water is looking most inviting."
Amethyst	Then in stark contrast is the small but fierce Dragon-blooded that is Amethyst, chosen of Danaa'd and presumably tainted by the wyld. And someone that the owner of this establishment knows very well, and so her face is a regular sight, however brief it may be since she oft wanders into the private area not long after arriving. And today's no different. Usually she'd settle for settling into the pool she has back at her own establishment, but today she wants the larger (and frankly nicer) hot tub here at the Chateau. She wasn't expecting to run into Rishi and Fudou. And for a moment she can't take her eyes off of Rishi. Maybe it's the sheer surprise of seeing her nude or maybe she's jsut tired but after a moment she shakes her head. "Guess I'm not the only one here for the hot tub." Amethyst stretches and all of her hidden mutations unfold, like stretching into a brand new body. And it doesn't take her long before there's a pile of various alchemy supplies that pretend to be clothes in the corner and a naked fae-dragon in the hot tub. And then there isn't, as though she just vanished into the water.
Tepet Makara	After that embarrassing event back at the arena, Makara arrives to the chateau of resplendent delights to take his mind off things mostly about the stuff he did and his stress while working for the Cynis legion. He heads for the hot springs while wearing only a loincloth but since nothing covers his skin, the back of his neck shimmers with azure as if it's a water aspect marking....It oddly resembles scales. While on his way, he tried to flirt with a man he finds handsome but was ignored since they were too preoccupied. But once he arrives, he is surprised by two familiar faces. "Oh Fudou, Rishi. Didn't expect to see you here"
Fudou the Mountain	"Oh hoh!" Despite it being his idea, Fudou can't help but react in surprise as Rishi brushes past him teasingly just...pretty much ready to dive right in. It's not as if he hasn't seen her naked before. Pretty much the entire trip through the Dreaming Sea was an excuse for that even if he stayed clothed himself for much of it. It doesn't make it any less distracting or dazzling though. Lunars being lunars and all, RIshi's otherwordly beauty is basically a garment unto itself and he stares at her before finally shaking his head and then blinking in surprise as Amethyst slides right past him and goes right into the pool as well. And then Makara has arrived and Fudou's spurprise is further heightened as he looks upon the other lunar with shock. "Oi!" he rumbles, "Hey get in here quick." He reaches forward to pull Makara more properly into the large chamber and then moves to make sure the entry way to the rented out chambers is fully shut and they have some privacy. "I was not expecting such a crowd! But that's fine. Yes, I thought a little work and play was due.. I suppose a small company is part of the fun!"
Rishi	When Ammy arrives, Rishi straightens up to wave, visibly bouncing as she does so. "Hi Ammy!" She looks visibly brighter somehow? Her smile even more radiant in the presence of her friend, her whole aura exuding happiness. "How have you been?" Rishi's smile slips a bit whem Ammy literally vanishes into the tub, but it's back to being fully radiant when she turns back to the others, again bending forward slightly, arms behind her back. "Oh! Makara! I was not thinking you would be here this day? Fudou, were you doing the inviting of him too? What were you wishing to be doing the the telling of us?"
Tepet Makara	"Oh there was a meeting planned here? Was mostly going to hang out in the springs to flirt with hot men-oops I mean for relaxing in the waters! I mostly go here since my martial arts master is associated with Pearl" Makara says with an excuse on why he's here although he did not expect familiar faces to be here. "Is this another meeting regarding the affairs of this city? Not surprised if it's related to the ones handling the arena"
Amethyst	The fae-dragon reappears from behind Rishi, hugging her and giggling, but then she considers things, and her mood falters as she slips back into the pool. "Things... I dunno how I've been." She holds up the silver bangle with the embedded black jade. "Now that my essence fever isn't clouding my thoughts as much I've been thinking a lot. On the one hand, I want to persue my dream of sailing like my father once did. On another, I want to find out what actually happened to him." And then she breaths in deep, "Then the third is indeed about the people running the Arena. I'm just /worried/ and there's not much I can do other translating the runes on the artifact and waiting for others to figure out enough about them so that we can act." She sighs, "It's a shame there can't be three of me. Because aside from all of that I need to keep some eyes on my shop. I got myself goin' too many directions." She shakes her head out of frustration and sighs. "Aside from that, I've been meditating a lot and trying to refine my tactics and training instead of goin' for new flashier powers to try to one-up folks."
Fudou the Mountain	The giant side eyes Makara for a few long seconds before simply stating, "Come in here man. For heavens sake, must you always be so akward? I swear to Luna, that I need to sneak into your camps the next time you are at 'work' so I can see what you are like when you are pretending to keep your cover going..." He roughly prods Makara in the general direction of the pool and where refreshments such as fruits and meats can be found. He then turns to watch as Amethyst and RIshi have their fun though he grows more somber as he hears Amethyst, "Ah don't you worry luv. We're working on it. I just spoke with Misa and Bright Journey the other day. And there are plenty others who know now. I don't think Raullaur doing his battle in full armor did us any favors but not everyone wants to hide who and what they are. I have my own personal reasons but I don't blame him. But it may complicate things." At this point he's pulled off his simple robes and dropped it of to the side, revealing the full scope of his monstrous physique. A moment later and he's deftly undoing the ties and belts that bind the garments used for what modesty he can manage. IT takes an extra second as he continues speaking. "Oh Rishi.. I just wanted to tell you about what was happening and also that I met a fellow lunar named Selena who told me of her shahan-ya. There is a lunar who apprently has a hidden school of sorcery in the city. I thought you might want to meet him." He then abruptly drops his garments in full revealing...well..what'd you expect? It's Fudou the Mountain. He might as well have a djala between his legs made even more outrageous by the fact that he'd been managing it all with additional ties. It practically hits the water long before the rest of him ...but the look is quick for he suddenly jumps and leaps into a massive splashdown right behind Rishi and Amethyst!
Rishi	Rishi grins, hugling Ammy before sliding into the water next to her, then headtilts considering. "I am clearly needing to be more of the "in the loop" about the things that are doing the happening, but...if you are needing to be having the three of you, why are you not just learning to be doing that? Or doing the summoning of the demons?" "Ooh! A Sorcery academy? Yes, I am being most interested!" Her eyes sparkle and then they're drawn down to look at Fudou's ...magnificence. There is definitely a moment of ...longing? Interest? Calculation? Which gets interupted by the splash as he jumps in. Rishi sputters for a moment before dipping under the water, then surfacing, sending her waterfall of dark hair back behind her. "Alright, now that we are being done with the being funny, can we be doing the serious things now?" She looks between Ammy and Fudou. "What is doing the going on with the Arena?"
Tepet Makara	Makara gets on the pool but something caught his attention regarding another Lunar. "Oh Selena has a shahanya somewhere in this city? Hope she doesn't shapeshift in public unlike last time"
Amethyst	Amethyst just... /stares/ for a long moment. She's heard rumors. She's heard the stories. Gods that thing is almost bigger than she is. "I gotta ask, Fudou, do you have any /smaller/ forms you're comfortable with? Finding someone who can get me a ship that can fit you has been /really/ daunting. And even if I had the money to get a full-sized cargo ship, the only place you'd fit on there would be in the hold!" "So either I manage to acquire an artifact ship, or I'm gonna need to employ the services as other Exalted." Amethyst concludes. "I do have a few names on that list but I thought I'd ask first. Gaurentee almost any of 'em'll want something more than money in return." And Amethyst just... stares at Rishi like she just grew three heads. "How, I. Is that /thing/ you can just /do/?" The fae-dragon looks incredulous. "Like can you just chop off an arm and have it grow into a new Rishi or something???" she's so very confused. "I'm sure with enough sorcery I could make others who look like me, but I don't think they would have the same mind or powers as I do." She shakes her head. "And a sorcerous academy here in Great Forks, how did this slip my mind? It'd definitely be worth meeting up." She says, still befuddled by Rishi's comment. "As for what's goin' down? Nine Sheeves sells secrets, that's really no surprise. The surprise is that they got some deal on with a Wyld Hunt that's being assembled. A list. And I'm willing to bet that at the least myself and Raul are gonna be on it. And likely others that we know and care about. And while I have no idea who that lunar was that a certain 'Dragon' chased after was," She stares at Makara, "She's also now on the list I'm sure." Then Amethyst pauses, considering Makara, "Wait, you /know/ her?" There's this look of bafflement on her face. "And she's the one that runs the-. /And/ she transformed in public okay I guess I understand why you'd have to react like that to save your own cover." Then Amethyst just sinks back into the water while she processes this information.
Fudou the Mountain	He barely hears some of that, with the roar of the water in his ears but he eventually resurfaces and, thankfully to save on further distraction, doesn't rise higher then waist up and seems to now be sitting in the deepest part of the spring with the water reaching up to the middle of his massive chest. His legs are sprawled out under water now and he blinks a few times to get water out of his eyes...and then just stares at Rishi. He squirms a little bit before looking away and complaining... "Must you -do- that Rishi? Are you trying to get me to cau.. I mean cause a scene? Hn. Nevermind.." He avoids looking at her and redirects his attention to Makara. "Yes that was a bit of confusio..." Then when he hears Amethyst, "You know Selena as welL? Hmm..she's getting around. Well she's the one who defers to the school I"m speaking of. She says her mentor is a shahan-ya named Anointed Starfall. THe name isn't familiar to me but he has a secret school here. We'll have to get Selena to arrange introductions... As to the rest, Amethyst are you -sure- a hunt is being assembled already? EVeryone is operating under the thought there is time to hopefully catch the information before it gets leaked out, or at least finding out what it is they know exactly..."
Rishi	"I am not having the knowing the technique myself, but Tiziri was doing the practicing of it. You are simply doing the placing of enough of your "essence of the self" into your hair or spit that it can be doing the looking like you. Once you can be doing the dividing of your soul safely, placing a little of that into the double will be letting it do the walking around and the thinking." She hrms. "...Maybe you can be doing the investing the water with your essence until it is having the life? Like the summoning of the elementals? ..Or...hmm... I will be doing the studying of my books." Rishi looks doe eyed at Fudou, batting her eyelashes, and moving in the water so her chest bobbles up and down on the waves. "I am not knowing what you are meaning, Fudou" she says mock innocently. Though when she hears about the Nine Sheaves plan, her face looks troubled. "Are we knowing who is being on this list? And can we be going in and doing the destroying of this info? Or are we going to have to be doing the killing of the people?"
Tepet Makara	"Yeah I know of her. Even if I didn't chase her off, the hidden watchers in the arena may think that I am an Anathema sympathizer if I don't respond to her, so it's a threat to my cover even if the Wyld Hunt isn't enforced here." He sighs for it was a walking headache dealing with her. "I hope I manage to lure some of the Watchers to meet me even if risky. That scene in the stands may make them think I am a valuable ally." Once he hears more of this shahanya, the more he is interested in them. "A sorcerous shahanya huh? I hope we get to meet them" Then he returns to the topic regarding Selena "if they do approach me and think I support their goal, we may use this opportunity as a trap. But they have yet to send an agent to approach me so time will tell if it works"
Amethyst	Amethyst shifts her tone as she rises from the tub. Her eyes seem clearer than they usually do. There's no violet strands teasing her veins, no storm-essence clouding her mind. "Of course there's a Hunt being assembled. Probably with the Sheeve's information and other informants they have throughout the scavenger lands. This Arena's just a really juicy bit of info, and one we still have a chance to stop from falling into their hands. But I have no doubts that the Hunt is coming, even if not directly to Great Forks, but to the areas that surround here. And perhaps quietly to here as well." "I read up on the stories of other Wyld Hunts, the sort of tactics us Dragons would employ to draw out these 'anathema'. Believe me if this information is being sold, a Wyld Hunt's already starting to take shape. At best, I think, we can delay it. Sure as hell losing out of Sheeves' report would stop them until they got better intel, and that takes time, effort, and resources, probably more than just getting it from Nine Sheeves for a tidy sum of jade and some favor." Amethyst's expression is cold. "And I don't know Selena, though she sounds like a bunch of trouble." And then she nods to Makara, "That's a pretty risky ploy, but if you can arrange such a meeting it would be a really solid lead. I hope you were as convincing as you hope you were." She nods. Then she addresses everyone, "With the knowedge I've gathered from my books and Tiziri's first hand experience we oughta be able to come up with some ideas for how to prepare for the inevitable. 'Cause quite a few of us haven't been great at being subtle. I'm /sure/ that we'll make a list sooner or later." "I survive from my contigencies. I live off of them. It's how I made it through the wyld. It's how I established my alchemy shop without the gift of the dragons backing me. And it's how I'll make sure none of my friends fall to the Wyld Hunt." She says so matter-of-factly.
Fudou the Mountain	"Wait.." Fudou is actually pulled away from staring at Rishi's antics as he hears Amethyst. Probably for the best lest she push him past hisi trigger points and who wants to see -that-? "Wait wait...this a completely different sort of discussion AMethyst. It's unavoidable that a hunt is going to attempt to target celestials. This is a battle that can't be avoided one way or another but that is a different sort of problem then trying to deal with the information held by the consortium. That's what Bright Journey is concentrating on dealing with and I thought you as well. To -guess- at if a hunt is forming specifically targetting us here and not the whole of celestials throughout The Threshold is another matter." He gestures absently, "YOu have to consider the situation. If The Realm cannot deal with Thorns, if they cannot retlaiate against The Bull of THe North, if they are in their own civil discord.... It's not likely we're talking about facing whole legions here and another thing. Here in Great Forks is the largest gathering of celestials any can imagine. It's -because- of the freedom Great FOrks offered that many of us are here and we're far beyond the typical target that the Hunt goes after. There are more gathered here then even in the presence of the likes of Raksi and Ma-Ha-Suchi. That is a wholly different scenario. In fact, defeating the Hunt is not my concern rather the thought of the aftermath and additional attention we might draw our way." He leans forward, "And they certainly aren't going to try and attack Great FOrks and risk the wrath of all of the gods here and the three, let alone the Confederacy of Rivers. So what is it then? Should we just give up on worrying about the information leak and let it happena and just face them on our own terms?"
Rishi	"I am not having the meeting of Selena, but I am definitely being most curious now! I'll need to be sending her the Messenger of the Infallability... Should I be doing the mention of you Fudou? So she is knowing that it is being the good person who is doing the contacting of her?" Rishi listens to Ammy's speech with rapt attention, head tilted, clearly listening well...though she spoils it a little at the end by pulling Ammy into a hug. "I love you too, my heart. Neither of us will be doing the falling to the hunt." After holding her for a moment she lets go and subsides. "Hmm... Do we know if this is being the Realm or the Lookshy or if it is being another of your Northern Pure Way groups? Because if it is being the Realm, cannot Pearly just be telling them that the Nine Sheaves are just ...running the 'scam', yes? Can we not be doing something similar with the Lookshy? Otherwise doing the convincing that there is not being the problem?" She hrms, head tilted. "Or ...could we perhaps be trying to make the deal with the Three? I am not being sure what we could be doing the offering of, to get them to be giving the Hunt the 'Go Away' Party, but ...possibly, if we could be doing the convincing of the Talespinner, could they not be weaving the story of 'everything is being fine here because there are not being any of the Anathema here', perhaps?" Rishi looks troubled at Fudou's words. "Fudou... there are being the people who are so much the certain that they are being the right that they will not think that they are being wrong. And there are others who are being so much the worried that they are wrong, that they cannot be allowing themselves to *be* wrong. And then there are other foolish people who are thinking that, whatever is doing the happening, they can be doing the handling of it." She hrms. "If it is being the Realm that is behind this, then, from what Pearly has been doing the telling of me, the Wyld Hunt will be the most fanatical and foolish of the Northern Pure Way monks to even want to try this. The City will, hopefully, be doing the siding with us against the Realm, especially if we can be making them look the most silly." Her face falls. "If the Lookshy is doing the planning, the Great Forks will not be doing the standing against them. They will be sending out the spirits to be helping the Hunt be doing the finding of us, because ...what else can they be doing? Or maybe they will simply be doing the driving of us away from the city, so that our fighting will not be doing the killing of everyone?" She sighs. "...I think we should be trying to be stopping the leak and finding out which of the hunts is being the prepared."
Tepet Makara	"My suspicions is that they are a group of dynasts acting alone so that the anathema they will hunt will earn them glory all for themselves. In Realm society, a scion of the Scarlet Dynasty will earn fame if they manage to kill an exalt. I remember some of my few dragonblooded classmates during my time in the House Of Bells before my exaltation want to make a name for themselves by participating in the Wyld Hunt."
Amethyst	Amethyst falls silent for a while, considering Fudou's words. Then she sighs. "I never said we shouldn't try to stop them." Amethyst says. "You're misinterpreting my words We /absolutely/ should do what we can to figure out what the Consortium knows and to stop them from getting it in the hands of those who could hurt us and others." "Let's think about this from the perspective of the Shikari. It could be that they're assembling and just relying on this information, at which point their efforts would be thwatted if we stopped the flow of information, and what, they'll just go home? And why would they target us in the first place? We're hardly the only unusual contestants in the Arena, let alone what else they've learned from spying on their patrons." "Like I'm sure there's at least a dozen better targets than the likes of us. But, ugh, I don't know. Yes we try to stop them but is it bad to also think of ways to protect ourselves?" She rubs her head. Then she frowns. "I'm sorry. I just want to make sure those I love and care about are safe. And that means I'm assuming the worst. It's probably unlikely. But I guess that's just what I do." Her ears lower and she sinks a little deeper into the water.
Fudou the Mountain	"IF a Hunt comes I will -not- cower, leave, nor avoid conflict. I know factually that others here that are your peers think the same." Fudou's comments are stern and matter of fact. "This is something that must be and that eventually will have to be done. You can attemt to delay it for now but sooner or later your choice is going to be live or die. You -must- come to terms with this." His eyes are leveled on Rishi now but then he glances to Amethyst and finally sits back abit, resting further into the water as he pauses in thoguht and then says, "There is some discussion, though, of possibly directing their attention elsewhere and dealing with them there. A sort of gambit to take any potential fight away from the city. An intentional sacrifice. Perhaps in the Hundred Kingdoms. I think a show of force, not unlike the Bull, may becmoe necessary but I dont' think that we have to fear from Lookshy. Not while other probelms are at their gates. We could leverage a relationship with the Three, yes, and in doing so connect with Lookshy in a different way. I don't believe they are fanatical as The Realm concerning this but.... Yes if the information can be stopped so be it but I don't think that will be the end of it. We'll have to plan this out and do it."
Rishi	"Then we are all being in agreement that we need to be stopping the release of this information, yes?" Rishi nods. "Then, what can I do to be giving the help?" Rishi hrms at Makera's comment. "It is possible they are being the 'young and stupid,' but if they were simply the rash and hasty, the hungry for the glory, why would they be doing the planning and hunting for the information? No, I am thinking there is being at least one of them who is wanting more than just the fleeting glory. Or at least is being smart enough to be doing it in the clever way." Rishi slides down into the pool next to Ammy and pulls her into a side hug. "We will be most safe." "Oh! Fudou! I need to be showing you how to be finding my mansion and Frosty's forest, so that you are having the hiding place, just in the case." She holds up a hand to stall his comment. "Yes, I am knowing you were just doing the saying that you will be fighting not doing the running, but it is being one of the most safe of places in this area and even you are needing the place to be doing the sleeping and the recuperating." Rishi hrms. "...I will need to be getting the permission from the Frosty, but, if the worst is happening, I could easily be turning my mansion into the hospital and the safe place to be resting."
Tepet Makara	"Yes, I'll agree in putting a stop to the information leak before it can escalate further into something else. I may try to ask the Greyfalls satrap if there are any dragonblooded involved in the Wyld Hunt although I may draw suspicions. I could pose as a Wyld Hunt crazed zealot like last time but it's still risky. I may do so if somebody does approach me"
Fudou the Mountain	"I said live or die. Strategic retreat to prepare for another strike is a choice to live, on?" responds Fudou to Rishi while grinning slightly and holding a finger up, "You have a mansion? This is news to me! Are you inviting me over then?" He lowers his hand and frowns as he hears Makara, "That seems very, very dangerous. It would seem safer to use your cover to right to the consortium. After all you saw Selena in the stands. You could use that as leverage to demand what they know about anathema. Even accuse them of harboring them. They may reveal more to you. That'd be safer then going to Greyfalls I would think."
Amethyst	Amethyst listens to Fudou's words. She parses and considers them. And she just gives a frustrated sigh. "I. I don't even know what to say." "I'm gonna prepare for all angles." Amethyst says, "And if one of them someday helps make sure we survive some attack on our lives, well, we'll all be glad I did. I'm also going to go forward with my plan for a ship of my own. It's high time I expanded beyond Great Forks. And I shouldn't let my fears stop these ambitions."
Rishi	"Hrm." Rishi headtilts. "I think Fudou is being right Makara, trying to be approaching the Consortium is sounding much safer...unless you are thinking they might be knowing your secret?" She headtilts, considering. "You are knowing your people best, so be doing what you are thinking is right. But do be most of the careful." Rishi smiles at Fudou. "Of course I am giving you the invite. It is a most nice place." her eyes dance and she looks down Fudou's body. "..oh, be sure to be dressing most warmly. Frosty's demense is quite cold." Rishi pulls Ammy over into her lap and puts four arms around her, simply holding her. "...Whatever you are doing the needing from me, you have only to be doing the asking. You are having my support."
Tepet Makara	"I guess I'll wait if someone approaches me that claims to be from the Consortium and I will try to be careful if I do so since I may put others at risk. I'll try to get as much information as I can about them and to see why they would want to hunt anathema besides Immaculate teachings here in Great Forks even if the city does not enforce it" Makara says to the others. "Once I get more information, I hope we meet up again to discuss how to deal with them"
Fudou the Mountain	"They may not approach you Makara. You must make your events happen. Leverage your title. Demand to see them. You have the right and if they fear the dynasts they may simply want tm subdcue your anger at seeing an anathema in the stands. Of course they might just shrug and say 'Hey..it's Great Forks'... but at least make a show. They aren't promised to seek you out. THey have much to deal with." Fudou nods his head firmly, that advice given. "The teachings have no weight here but if the consortium wishes to increase their connection with The Realm they as an individual faction may want to pacify you."
Amethyst	And even as Amethyst tries to put herself back together, she stills seems to fall apart. Even after she mentioned her thoughts and plans, her expression returns to being dire and unreadable. Even to Rishi, she shows no comfort. She slips free of Rishi's grasp, "I'm afraid I don't think your support is what I'm needing right now." There's a look of defeat on her face. It seems that she's sorted out whatever emotions and conflicts she has inside. "The bangle doesn't eliminate my emotions, it just makes it so that the strongest of them can no longer consume me like they did before." "I... I need to think, about a lot of things, I think. It was nice catching up with you folks." She says to the gathering. She closes her eyes and sighs, prying herself out of the water.
Rishi	"....." There's a moment when Rishi's face gets a feral look and her grip tightens. A moment where it's possible Rishi might grab the dragon and fly away, abandoning everything so they'll both be safe and never have to do anything complicated or dangerous again. But, it was only a fleeting moment. The feeling passes, her grip loosens, and Ammy slips away. "....." Her gaze falls on the bangle as she sniffs, but she scents nothing from it. Whatever magic it contains is too locked down for her to sense it right now. Rishi sinks down into the water, gills opening in her back as she iies in the pool.... Her face contorts, then firms. and she erupts out of the water. "Ammy, I'm doing the coming with you. If you are needing to think or have the discussion, just... do the laying of it all out. I'll do the listening. Or I can be going to be getting Pearly, if that is who you are needing. But I am doing the coming with you."
Fudou the Mountain	After nodding to Makara, Fudou turns towards Amethyst as she leaves. He listens and then watches as Rishi erupts out of the water. He sighs slowly and then pinches hs brow as if nursing a headache but he actually stays silent. "Hnn...."
Tepet Makara	"I see, I'll try to use my status even if I'm from a house on the verge of possibly suffering the same fate as all the other fallen houses" Makara nods to Fudou regarding the Consortium "But I'll have to leave now since my instructor in water dragon style is expecting me in two hours"
Amethyst	"I just want to be alone in the river while having a conversation with Danaa'd in my head. Not that Danaa'd's ever answered any of my prayers, but I know She's in ever river, every lake, every ocean and drop of water in Creation. I'll be fine." Amethyst says grumpily to Rishi. "You can't just force my emotions to behave. Now that they're a little less intense I can think more clearly. And I gotta do a lot of thinking before I go along with the idea of actually helping to murder a Wyld Hunt." "I need to sit down and figure myself out a bit more and I can't do that with you breathing down my neck." Amethyst says simply.
Fudou the Mountain	"Hmm.." He didn't like that. Fudou narrows his eyes but sounds thoughtful before finally saying, "Collect your thoughts and decide on where you stand and do it free of others being around you so you can decide your place in the world. You're still rocking between extremes Amethyst. Find yourself." He glances to Rishi and adds, "And a person needs to be free to do that without accidental pressure of someone elses wants. Stay here Rishi. Settle yourself as well..."
Rishi	"......." Rishi places a hand on Ammy's shoulder. "Luna does not speak to me. Not directly, not since I was Chosen. But she does speak. I'm sure Danaa'd will be helping you too. As Fudou says, find yourself." Rishi then nods to Fudou and Makera. "I'll be sending messages later to you both to see how things are doing the progressing. For now, I'm going to go to be doing the finding of Bright and see what I can be doing to be helping."
