[The video fed flickers on to an image of a lone drow sitting alone in small dimly lit room. Once she realizes that she was live, Koh offer a small welcoming wave.]

Good evening, everyone. Its me again, Koh, for those of you who don't know who I am.

I might have an odd question to ask. I am still learning my way around here, but from what I have seen, this place is primarily covered in an ocean. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice, safe woodland grove anywhere?

If my observations are correct, there is a full moon coming soon. I got to talking with some people about a tradition my faith has called the Circle of Song. Customarily it starts with a moon lit hunt where after we hold a feast in celebration. There's also music and a bonfire we all dance and sing around. Though I'm not looking to go that traditional. That is... unless others would be interested in joining? You don't have to be a follower of Eilistraee to take part. In fact, its even encouraged for those outside the temple to share in the festivities.

Only if you want to, of course. Thought I would extend the offer to those curious. Up until now its just me dancing alone in the middle of the night so having a bit company would be nice.


[She shook her head, getting herself back on track of her main purpose.]

So... as I said, I would appreciate any suggestions of a good spot. Thank you all for humoring me.

[Hey, can you blame a cleric for trying? She bows her head with a small acknowledging nod.]

Haha, that's alright. I thought it was only good manners to extend the offer. I haven't celebrated a proper Circle of Song since I set out on my own, so the prospect of not being alone has gotten me a little excited.

But I do thank you for your suggestion. You seem to be knowable about this world. Have you been here long?

[flamekthunder]

[Don't lose out hope, a certain someone just has to catch wind of this and he could probably be dragged in—]

...About a year and a half now.

[Weird to think about still at times.]

I can't say I know everything, but I know enough.

[inherlight]

[The offer still stands if someone does decide to drag him along.

But excuse the wide eyed stare he received as he told her how long he has been stuck here. She knew that she would be staying her for awhile, but the thought of being away for possible years rattled her.]

That long?

[The cleric's voice was barely above a whisper.]

I.... can't imagine being away from home that long. Do you have people to get to?

[flamekthunder]

[He's not so surprised by her reaction, and he feels a little sorry about bringing that kind of potential reality. But he just shakes his head a little.]

Not really.

[Which could sound sad, but he's not bothered by it.]

My team and friends can handle themselves well, and my dog came along with me when I first arrived... At least at the time I was brought here, there weren't any pressing matters, either.

[inherlight]

[Koh's brows furrowed as she continued to dwell on her own situation. The matters she left behind weren't pressing but they were important. Having to delay her search even longer has a hard pill to swallow. But the cleric forced a smile back.]

You have a dog? That must be nice, not being here alone. Though with you being here for so long, I am sure you have made new friends.

[flamekthunder]

[Although he notices the slight tension, he won't say anything—if anything he can guess what might be on her mind. Not everyone had the fortune of coming in without anything pressing back in their world, and he really was fortunate that he wasn't pulled in a year or so prior.]

I wouldn't have minded either way... But I have made a few acquaintances here.

[inherlight]

Just acquaintances?

[The drow gave him a questioning brow. For him being here this long, surely he has made some friends. Something about his cool stoic nature reminded her of someone else she's met here. If asked the some question, he would call her an acquaintance as well even though they had fought along side eachother.

She ends up chuckling to herself, shaking her head.]

Sorry, I don't mean to laugh. You just reminded of someone.

[flamekthunder]

[He's used to it and....yes he's made friends, but he always downplays it, mostly because he sometimes doesn't even realize that others think otherwise.

So he just shakes his head.]

No offense taken. Hopefully your friend isn't as difficult.

[See, he is very aware about how he is so he can make fun of himself. Made better since he's saying it in his usual tone of indifference, as if being sincere.



Well, maybe he is.]

[inherlight]

[Koh laughs a bit harder at that.]

I'm afraid to say that he is. At least you have enough self awareness to admit it. I can already see the look on his face if I even suggest the idea of us being friends. The stubborn fool.

[The drow said with a light teasing snort.]

I'm sorry, I don't believe I caught your name.

[flamekthunder]

I've heard it often enough.

[But there is a faint, wry grin at that.]

And it's Eustace. You said yours was Koh?

[inherlight]

[The drow smiles back, giving a slight bow of the head.]

That's correct. You have a good memory. My full name is Kolnatha Shavval, but no one calls me by that name unless I'm in trouble. [She chuckled softly.] It's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance, Eustace.

Sorry if this is too informal, but you mentioned back home you had a team? Were you an adventure like me?

[flamekthunder]

Noted. [That really is a handful of a name, though he's heard similar in his world so it's not so strange, either.] And likewise.

[At her question, however, he just tilts his head slightly and hums for a moment.]

Not quite. While I did help another group on theirs, I work for an organization. The team I speak of are other members who work with me on occasion should the mission call for it.
