Home time|Raynham, Reave

[Northen Light36]

In the early hours of the morning, Damien snags one of the younger Fire hunters and sends him to go gather their people. After a great deal of consideration and a walk through Reave, Damien's satisfied that the Clears will be able to last out what little remains of winter.

"And Spring will be a good time for them to learn to stand on their own to feet. It is the season most forgiving of mistakes after all," he thinks while waiting for the Fires to gather. "It's time we began withdrawing. We cannot baby-sit these people forever." Sleepy eyed, but standing as tall as she can manage, Ann stands beside Damien, startled but proud to be here. While unspoken, it is a symbol of her Heir status to be at Damien's side when he is preforming a duty as the Leader of Fire and the first action in Damien's intention of begining Ann's training to take his place.

Charanth approaches Damien, having heard the news that there would be a gathering. Smiling wanely, he asks Damien, "Planning on taking my advice?"

[Northen Light36]

"Don't I always?" comments Damien with a grin. Since there's no one other then the two men and Ann here yet, he takes the time for a quick joke. "Care to switch jobs Charanth?" Ann giggles, her attempt at keeping her expression serious failing completely.

[Kender Bard]

Charanth snorts, "Not in a lifetime, friend. My plate is full as it is." Yawning lightly, he shifts impatiently on his feet, eager to see the faces of his firekin once they hear they'll be going home.

Damien chuckles. "Damn, and there I was hoping for a holiday," he laughs, then returns to a relaxed, but serious expression as the other Fire types gather. "My apologies for waking you so early," Damien begins. "However I wished to make this announcement as soon as possible. I believe that our work here is nearly complete and therefore, it is time our people began gradually returning to our homeland so that the people of Reave might start taking care of theirselves."

Ryuk stands around in the crowd bored. Reaching for the hammers he brought with him Ryuk idly starts to juggle them in the air.

Mint listens quietly, feeling a bit confused. Right when she'd arrived in Reave it was apparently time to leave.

[Kender Bard]

There are happy looks all around from most of Clan Char; they'd missed their home, especially after hearing what'd happened. Heartened, they drifted off to go take care of business.

[Northen Light36]

Spoting Mint, Damien picks up Ann, then walks over to her. "Don't look so worried," he tells her gently. "The process of leaving will be slow and of course you are more then welcome to stay here for as long as you choose, Mint."

[Devon]

Ryuk glances up and catches sight of Charnath, walking up to the man while still juggling his hammers. Stopping Ryuk stands at attention and bows slightly to Charnath. "Your most loyal, most faithful, and most skilled assassin ,Ryuk, at your service sir. Since we are headed back to our lovely home through these dangerous lands please allow me the honor to serve as your personal bodyguard. I won't let a single threat cross your path be it man or beast it will not get passed my watchful eye." Ryuk rubs his head only now noticing he hit himself in the head with one of his hammers when he saluted.

"To be perfectly honest, I want to stay long enough that I can make a difference myself," Mint says and clasps her hands again. "Somehow you knew what I was going to ask permission to do and gave me permission before I asked..."

[Kender Bard]

Charanth eyes Ryuk shrewdly, mumbling, "Yes I've heard about you." Shaking his head slightly he sighs and says, "Very well, then. Just don't get carried away, all right?"

[Devon]

Ryuk seems very pleased. "Yes sir I won't get carried away not one bit....So..what did you hear about me Mr. Char?"

[Northen Light36]

Damien smiles at Mint. "It's my job to know what the wishes of my people might be," he tells her. "Good luck Mint, and be careful."

"Good luck Mint," echos Ann from her place in Damien's arms.

[aivea]

"Thank you," Mint says to Damien and Ann with a smile. "I'll try to be careful."
