Arrival|Raynham, Reave

[Northen Light36]

Clan Leader Tres and some of her warriors approach Reave to see what help they can offer. Glancing around, Tres looks for the other fire types or someone who appears to be in charge.

[Kender Bard]

Charanth is most certainly giving off that impression as he continues to argue with a group of Clears about why rushing off and killing Ronnie would be a bad idea. At first they'd stayed a respectable distance away, but in the heat of arguement, he and they had drawn closer and now he was beginning to look a bit dizzy from working so hard to fight their unconcious pull.

[Northen Light36]

Tres and her fire types imeditately head over to give Charanth some support. "Problems Charanth?" asks Tres, putting a hand on his shoulder. "Back off a bit," she snaps at the Clears.

[Kender Bard]

The Clears sigh and move back, a little shamefaced for having accidently crowded the poor man.

"Yes and no," Charanth says, looking grateful. "It's not what you think. We had a young Mind helping out around here and he got snagged by a Clear. Apparently the man isn't a member of Reave, and once the villagers found out, they've been howling for his blood."

[Northen Light36]

"And people call the Fires hotheads," mutters Tres, shaking her head. "Is the Mind all right?"

(LOL! Yeah, that's pretty close to Nauorod's motto.)

[Kender Bard]

"I'm not sure," Charanth says, frowning.

"He is," Charminei calls out, walking back with Lior. "You might as well let the people do as they wish, brother. It's not our city to run as we like."

[Northen Light36]

Tres nods in agreement then adds to the Clears, "But if I can make a suggestion, why don't you lot go ask the Mind what he thinks should be done?"

[Kender Bard]

"Well we certainly shouldn't go all marching up there," one of the Clears says. "But you are right. Could you-"

"I'm sure he'll arrive soon," Charminei said smoothly, even as she sent a psy to Locke.

"I understand my presence is requested," Locke said moments later as he arrived with Diamond. He took a few seconds to survey their guests and bowed to them. "I greet you," he formally stated.

[Kender Bard]

The Clears looked a bit uneasy but one spoke up, cutting straight to the chase. "What do you want us to do with that guy that jumped ya?"

[Deleted]

"Don't kill him," Locke said immediately. "I won't have his death on my conscience. He should either spend his life in a prison or in servitude."

[Kender Bard]

"We don't have a prison yet," one of the Clears said regretfully. "We didn't really think about it... it's not like any of us have things to steal and such. This just didn't come up in our planning."

"Any idea who he should serve then?" another Clear inquires of Locke.

[Deleted]

Locke smiled humorlessly. "Whoever can put up with a tactless, tasteless, lazy leech like him," he replied. "Why not a Clear with an attitude that takes no guff?"

[aivea]

Lior remains silent through the entire exchange and can't quite hide a hint of appreciation for the irony of making someone like Ronnie learn what it was like to be a servant. He reminds himself that this is between Locke and the Clears when he found himself about to mention that the odds are high that the Clear who found themself in possession of Ronnie would probably end up suffering as well. Returning to his thoughts, the clan leader waits for the decision about the punishment to be made.

"There's something strangely fitting about having someone who is used to being master become a servant."

[Kender Bard]

After much discussion the Clears seem pleased with this decision. "We have someone for him," they assure Locke. "We hope there's no hard feelings?"
