Yutin's great eyes stared back into Tana's. "I'll only go if you want me to go." He quietly told Tana. "I understand if you want me to stay here, for whatever reason it may be. And..." He added, "If you don't want to go, then I will gladly stay behind if you want. I know you're still upset, and being alone is not going to help that." All of this was said quietly, so as to keep it more private. Yutin's eyes closed slightly in a squint, and it was evident that he was giving Tana a reassuring smile from behind his mask.

Varia nodded, "It's settled then." To the lot of the adventurers she said, "We leave at dawn. I suggest you equip yourself beforehand. I hear the giggles, but please understand that this is a dangerous place we go to." She waved people over, any and all who agreed to the venture. She pointed to the map as she spoke. "The journey to the access point is about three days march from here. This cave system is even more expansive than the forest is. Feruzia's bones are said to be in this area," She paused and used the piece of charcoal she carried around for such reasons, and circled somewhere in the middle of the map. "Which is a rather big area. We need rope, grappling hooks, food, water, lots of potions for healing and curing poisonous bites. The caverns are notorious for the giant spiders and drow especially."

Düen looks at the assorted group and wonders if he wasn't making a mistake. Then one of them starts giggling he decides he was definitely making a mistake. Still, it was too late to back down now he had already taken the woman's coin.
"Thar be worse than Spiders and Drow these days. Since the collapse somethings come up from the heart o' da earth and whatever these beasties are they are hungry."
Let them do with the information what they will he turns his attention to Varia.

Ella assembled before Varia and the other adventurers, observing her map and listening to what she had to say. "I will be sure to bring along healing salves," she offered, "and I can use my talents to heal anyone who may sustain injury." Ella's druidic knowledge and abilities gave her the power to cleanse and heal wounds; this required time and concentration, however, and she would only be able to offer these services out of combat.
In addition, Ella's terramancy would be able to provide substantial support to the assembled team. "And I can use my wards to protect us in the event of a struggle," she finished.

It had been a relatively short trip thanks to the use of her husband's airship. Normally, she would have stayed there, but she was going to soon meet up with people from around the Usque and it was easier to stay at the inn in the meantime. She was in the common-room for the moment, eating scotch eggs and drinking mead, feeling pretty satisfied for the time being. Hopefully her friend would show up soon so she could catch up with Jun, it had been years since they last saw each other.

Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

It was as if she had made a subconscious effort to stay humble. Her gambeson, on the surface, was old and cozy. Her hair was clean, but frayed and matted. Her face was a bit gaunt, but her eyes were bright and healthy. Blackbean was armorless and just an ordinary-looking familiar on her shoulder.
There was the matter of the bandages on her left arm, but they were mostly concealed down to the wrists by her coat sleeve.
At first she was nervous, but as soon as she actually saw her, all that evaporated. Without hesitation, she marched right into the common room, sat down at Camilla's table, and looked her straight in the eye. She leaned in slightly and said, "It's literally been years since I've had a scotch egg." And she cracked the most joyful shit-eating grin her face could muster.
It was good to see Camilla again.

Jun appeared as if hearing her thoughts. Camilla, who had gone white-haired since the last time she had seen Jun, was looking healthy herself. She did not get up and hug her friend; Camilla was not much for those shows of affection outside of her family, but she did gesture toward the pile of eggs and said, "By all means, Jun."
The older woman grinned at her former lady in waiting and continued, "It's been literally years since we have seen each other, my friend. How have you been?" Camilla's raspy voice had only deepened a little over the last few years, just a touch. She wasn't old but motherhood had definitely matured her.

Jun took an egg, paused, and then held it up in front of Blackbean instead of her own mouth. The crow, unconcerned by whether or not it should be allowed in the establishment, plucked it and swallowed it whole. Getting that bit of comedic timing out of her system, she then took an egg for herself.
She sighed and swallowed as Camilla asked how she had been. Her head lowered onto the table. She held it there, chin hovering over the surface, eyes gazing at Camilla's hair. Her pressed lips and deadpan stare just about answered her question. But just to be safe-
"... About the same as you." She smirked and reached into one of her hidden coat pockets and pulled out what looked like a dying rose. It was a similar variety to the one that Camilla was tending to when they met all those years ago. She remembered she had been able to restore it with a forceful display of earth magic. But Camilla had done something else. She spoke to it.
Jun carefully laid it out on the table. "Psst." She said.
The rose's brown thorns turned sharp, its stem verdant, and its pallid, sickly petals flushed with red.
She looked at Camilla and said nothing. But something about the glint in her eyes spelled it out clear as day.
Look, Mrs. Blake! I got it! I actually got it!

The bird eating a whole egg in one go was impressive, to say the least. Cam blinked at the display and then gave a chuckle before turning her gaze to meet the stare of her friend. She tilted her head and asked, "Do I have something on my face?" with her eyes dancing in amusement since she very well knew that Jun had never seen her with white hair before. "I am glad you are well," she said then, and then watched as Jun pulled out a rose and brought it back to life. She had done it. "You remembered and you did well," she said, reaching out and touching Jun's arm with soft fingertips.
Then the memory of her old home came crashing in on her... how her garden had been destroyed by the Goraians and left things in shambles. Guilt washed over her at that moment and then she forced herself to tamp it down and lower her eyes. "Life has certainly been interesting, hasn't it, my friend?"

Jun reached out her hands in return. The bandages on her left arm poked out a bit under her sleeve.
There was a parallel in their thoughts. Remembering the fall of Medan also brought back memories of the fall of Aedan, the Imperium, and very nearly her very own homeland. There was much Jun suddenly wanted to say as she held Camilla's hands. I'm sorry. You have no fucking clue how right you are. I understand how you feel now.
"Yah, yah it has."
The subject of Camilla's hair made Jun wince a little bit. She was still socially awkward, but with a bit of maturity came the sense to at least be embarrassed about it. She wasn't one to mind her gaze much. So now she had to ask. "Trust me, your face has weathered time a lot better than my skin. Although in my culture, some such signs are badges of honor. Scars, stretch marks... white hair."
She grinned. "Although, why do I get the feeling there's more to the story than you growing in wisdom?"

"Nearly losing my youngest child had a lot to do with it," she said... "But she is hail and hearty now and such a smart little girl." She gave a smile and gripped Jun's hands with hers the same. "The downfall of Medan too... I carry that burden with me still, to this day." It was clear that she blamed herself. But she did not say it. Instead, she picked up the rose and sniffed it, for it was her favorite scent. "You look just fine to me, my friend. Any marks you wear now are a badge of honor for the battles you went through. Think about it, you and I both survived war. We won the war eventually. Isn't that something to hold onto with some pride? I am not proud for some of the things that happened, but I am proud that we won." On that note, she thought, she needed to make amends with her cousin and thank her for what she had done. But that was another thing for another time.
"And now here we are... You are still a fighter, I am guessing by that bandage... And I am a mother, which... well... that takes a lot too. If I hadn't had you by my side, I am certain I would have died before getting to see my children."

Jun’s jaw dropped at hearing that Camilla had almost lost Ambre. She struggled to remember the last conversation they had in Captain Blake’s house as Camilla said her piece. It was a lovely sentiment for them both. Yes, the knowledge that they were survivors, that they shared that kindred experience despite being very different from each other. Her hands gripped tighter. Her expression further warmed at Camilla’s appreciation of the rose.
At the last bit, she sighed. "I'm glad you think so. The truth is, you were the first in a long line of friends that helped give me direction and define who I was. If it wasn't for you I might gone down a much uglier path, pursued magicks you might have found offensive. If you're half as influential on your children, they'll all turn out strong in spirit. Long live the Verri bloodline-"
She paused. She shook her head. "That's a sensitive topic I am... such a bad friend." She chuckled at her own stupidity. "You should raise Ambre to be a noble, not a warrior. We are abysmal at social graces. Speaking of which, I remember that she was born premature, shortly after the Goraians had been defeated. Were your hair roots permanently singed by stress from the experience, or did something else happen?"
She waited in bated breath for Camilla’s reply and tried not to think about how she almost certainly could have phrased that more tactfully.

She squeezed Jun's hand with her free one. "I know what you mean. You were one of the first of many too." And her eyes shone a little with moisture as she remembered her first husband and how she missed him sometimes. "And you live, that is the important part." Her hand squeezed again. Jun brought up her bloodline and she wasn't upset by it, she merely smiled and replied, "It does live on... Through the Usque, through my children, and through me. My cousin, Faisine, has become quite the heroine in the Verri bloodline. I hear too that a new beast mistress aims to take up where Feruzia left off. We are a resilient bunch." Or so it was starting to feel.
"It is not a sensitive topic anymore, my friend. And all of my children? They are being raised away from all this war and conflict, but they are also going to have to learn about it one day. My son will one day return to Medan and restore it, I think, for he is rightful king, his twin will probably roam the Usque just as I once did, and Ambre, I think she takes more after her father with her adventurous spirit and will be a sky captain." She gave a pause and then sniffed again at the rose.
"What are you going to do next, Jun?"

Jun sighed and finally decided to pull back the sleeve of her left arm, revealing the bandaged limb in full. As she did this she spoke. "The problem with being a hero and protecting the ones you love, is time management. Splitting your time wisely between the people you love and the training and discipline necessary to protect them. I'll never know if my training was absolutely necessary in helping to besiege Goraia, or if I should have stayed in Medan when Zephidel took over, or if being there at the time would have gotten me killed. Likewise, did my loyalty to Isra prevent me from being in the Southern Plains when the Wyld attacked, or did it save my life and allow me to be more effective?"
She laid her arm down against the table. She wiggled the fingers to demonstrate that it was functional, although something was clearly wrong with it, or else it would not be bandaged. "This was because of a wrong choice. I pushed myself too far, and so I... had to make some changes to my fighting style as a result." She smirked sheepishly. "I've been in seclusion for a while. Most of my human contact has just been the boyfriend. I just... don't feel like being much alone anymore."
She leaned back, hiding her bandaged arm under the sleeve again. "I think I'm almost back to full strength physically. But emotionally, I'm feeling kind of lost. Long story short, I don't really know what to do."
*Caw!*
Jun had almost forgotten about Blackbean. "He's recommending I start with a stiff drink. Little fuzzy enabling bastard."
Blackbean preened smuggly.

"Yes, I understand..." She did. The life of a fighter was never easy; there would be scars to mark someone for life. Camilla wasn't sure she missed being one. She listened as her friend continued to talk, glancing down at her bandaged appendage without disgust or surprise, only calm acceptance, for it was the mark of the warrior. She did, however, reach out and touch the hand as it flexed and said, "It will get even better with time." Her lips curled up into a slight smile at that.
"Sometimes we make the wrong choices for the right reasons. I know that my choice to go after this relic was the wrong choice, but it was for the right reason. Does that make sense to you at all? I thought if we could get to it and destroy it, it would end the cycle... but then it fell into the wrong hands." She then cleared her throat. "So you have someone in your life now> That is good." She gave the bird a look of amusement when he cawed and acted demanding.
"Your bird is very demanding, isn't he?" She waved down the passing serving wench and then asked for what was demanded, plus some more Scotch Eggs.

Roleplay posts: 1,410
Age: 28
Physical Description: Jun is a human adult, standing 5’4”. She is wiry and fit at approximately 120 lbs. She has olive skin, dark brown hair ending just above her shoulders, and slight epicanthic folds over her dark almond eyes. Her face is squarish with a small chin. Her skin is dotted with battle scars, and her left arm is heavily bandaged due to an unknown affliction.
Clothes and Equipment: Jun possesses a vast collection of seeds, herbs, insects, and scrolls hidden in various pouches in her armor. These serve as reagents for her multitude of spells. Her armor consists of a customized, long-coat style gambeson that is stuffed with a matrix of seeds and plant fibers. Fitted on top is a set of brass-like, enchanted half armor (chest piece, pauldrons, and tassets) which gives off a warm aura. She has an open-faced, burgonet style helmet and coif of the same materials.
Her most notable "weapons" are Blackbean and Resonance. Blackbean is an elephant-sized demon crow which has served with Jun for many years as a mount and as a bodyguard. A minor enchantment allows him to disguise himself as a regular crow. Resonance is an azure blue longsword with a mind of his own. He can intercept minor attacks and can teleport to his owner. He can also use a personal reserve of magic to aid in the casting of a single spell.

Jun happily gripped in return. It didn't hurt, thankfully. She turned and grinned at Blackbean.
"He had a really bad experience with a cookie and it's made him far more uppity. But that's a story for another time."
She turned back to Camilla while waiting for their refreshments. "I've never been one to surrender. And neither have you. That drive we have, it makes us who we are. We push through life like a paddle through white water. And I guess sometimes... we hit a rock." She backed up slightly, because she had thought mistakenly for a second she was mostly talking about herself. But she shook this feeling off. "I think you did the right thing. It was worth it to try. If the gem was part of a cycle, then someone would have taken it anyways. Too much power is dangerous."
She seemed to remember something. She pulled her hand away and started rummaging through a hidden pocket in her clothing.
Blackbean jumped forward onto the table and helped himself to another scotched egg.
She pulled out a small scroll which was sealed with a golden wax. "You inspired me to design a new spell." She grinned proudly. Along the length of the scroll, there was some black, ornate, cursive lettering. It read: "The Doobie Du Shoobie Special." Jun would seem to realize this made no sense at the same time that Camilla would. "Oh, wait that's the wrong one. Shit did I leave it at home?" She quickly put the scroll away and started searching through more pockets.
"Uh so, what about you? What do you plan on doing?" She asked as she searched. "I remember something about a school?"

She snorted about the bird's bad experience with the cookie and grinned, "No more cookies for him then, aye?"
When faced with the next bit of conversation, she tilted her head whilst listening, nodding every now and then. "You're quite right. I don't like to surrender. How can we just do that when we have to live?" She gave pause and teared up a little, looking down. "Even if it was the right thing to do, the price was too high. I look at my boys and see their father's face in theirs. It hurts knowing they will never get to know Evrand." But she didn't cry, really, she sat up straighter and took a refreshing breath.
Then Jun was proudly pulling out a spell and she read what it said with some confusion. "I hope you didn't. I would love to see what you came up with." She grinned at her friend.
"Ummm, I had forgotten all about the magic school idea. I've been focused on my children. I must sound like a fuddy-duddy."

Jun continued to finger her pockets for the scroll in question, but she still listened to Camilla attentively.
"No no no not at all! I think it's great you're such an excellent mother. Oh dear."
She pulled out scrolls one by one and placed them on the table. They jostled back and forth on the table and at one point Blackbean had to intervene with his beak to prevent one from rolling off.
Camilla might find some of the names amusing:
Van'ei's Ballroom Gown
Fundor: Belcher of Sheep
Lum'Valia's Wig
Rara Sis Boom Ba
The Mighty Mr. Carrot
As the collection grew and Jun had started checking pockets in her pants, she said "Uh, SO, uh, tell me, uh, how are the kiddos doing? What has motherhood been like?"
Jarkoopi's Talon
Imperium
She even placed the Doobie du Shoobie Special onto the table again for good measure.
Blackbean seemed to exhibit a great deal of concern for these scrolls, arranging them so that they would not fall or be lost. There was something gentle in its efforts, the way that it avoided pecking at the wax seals, nudging them, keeping them away from the scotch eggs and drink. The truth is, a great deal of thought had gone into the creation of each one, which represented an important memory in Jun's life. In a way, spell creation had developed into an art form, a means of self-expression, grounding Jun's sense of self and reminding her of her adventurer's spirit. They helped Jun cope through her recent dark period, and Blackbean had been there for the creation of each one.
