Back in Humontis|Obsidian, Mount Humontis

[iamtuo]

Seron looks about after returning, searching for Allura.

[Kender Bard]

Allura is where the other priests of Efil are. At the moment, she was kneeling before the shrine, hands clasped and in fervent prayer.

[iamtuo]

Seron isnt sure what is going on, but he can guess as to the reasons for this. He steps foward close enough to join the prayer but as close as he can get to Allura without bumping into other priests.

[Kender Bard]

Allura barely registers his presence but she does glance over once he's near her. Her surprise and astonishment are clear for anyone to see and she leans forward, as if to embrace him suddenly.

[iamtuo]

Seron smiles but halts her with his hands as subtly as he can. ~Later, when there arent so many people about. *his mental voice has a caring tone in it though*~ ^_^

[Kender Bard]

Allura pauses, a touch shaken about how much she had almost given away. She gives a slight nod and indicates the shrine with her eyes, showing she'd like to finish praying. Going back to her duties, it isn't until the other priests disperse that she rises and tries to remain calm. "Seron, shall we go to your quarters to discuss how your trip went?"

[iamtuo]

Seron nods. "Yes, that sounds nice...though I am afraid this time I wont have any tea to offer." He smiles somewhat weakly as he leads the way.

[Kender Bard]

Allura puzzles over his words; was he serious, hinting at something, or just making conversation? She follows closely and anxiously, pondering.

[iamtuo]

Once they reach his room he opens it up and offers to let her in first. Once they are in he closes the door behind them. "Well..I guess I should start when I was taken.." He begins to explain what occured with the meeting and how it had degraded to a 'duel' to decide if the priests who freed Evil would talk.

[Kender Bard]

Allura blinks and stays very quiet through the whole thing. By the end of his tale, she shakes her head. "Madness, that's what it is." Smirking a little, she added, "I'm surprised such strangeness did not appeal to you."

[iamtuo]

Seron looks at her strangely. "Strangeness? I hardly consider the unleashing of evil by a pack of fools who couldnt care less about our lands and now we have to show them honor and respect if we want them to tell us more about what they did as 'strange'. Sides...Who knows what other crap is going on with the weather and I was worried about you.."

[Kender Bard]

"I was worried about you too," she murmured, reaching over to embrace him now. "I thought... Well I don't know what I thought, but I feared for your life. I'm glad you're home. There is.. Nothing we can do about this problem though, is there?"

[iamtuo]

Seron moves to hug her as well. "No..I dont think so..has anything happened here while I was gone?"

[Kender Bard]

"The rains have gotten worse," Allura murmured sadly. "There are all kinds of horrible accidents. Mudslides mostly. We've held out as long as we can but it's getting dangerous even this close to the entrance of the underground. Narcissa has ordered us to go underground with the rest of the citizens. This was a last prayer we were doing before we must abandon the above ground shrine."

[iamtuo]

"Oh.." Seron sighs. "I..I suppose I better get my stuff together and try to keep up..? What about you? Are you ready to go?"
