Heeeeere, Etaf, Etaf, Etaf....|Skyheort, Talen'sul

"The shorter the trip itself is, the better," Nathan said, relaxing somewhat at the news as he returned the embrace. He blinked as her last comment finally registered, and pulled back to give Mina a confused look. "Why would that be taken poorly?"

[Kender Bard]

Mina bit her lower lip, a sign as clear as if she had said 'Oops' aloud.

"Well it's a very secretive place," Mina protested. "And we're not supposed to take anything out. In fact I'll need sanctioned approval from senior priests there to bring back any interpretations they come up with. Of course, dealing with Soahcians, I'm sure they'll be more lenient and make an allowance... especially when it's Fiest who's asking." She blinked and added, "Fiest is the high priest now, by the by - you might remember him from Sinfest in Flux."

[Darastrix]

Nathan's brow furrowed in thought for a moment. "Oh! I do remember him." He grinned slightly. "He was the one that took such a keen interest in your wings." Among other things.

[Kender Bard]

"Yes," Mina affirmed with a blush. "He'll be staying in the temple while I'm away in case you wish to visit him. I'm sure he'd be keen to see you again. As a note of interest, it seems he's Astrophel's natural uncle."

[Darastrix]

"Small world," Nathan noted. "It's a little strange; we've met two of his birth father's siblings so far, but not the man himself." Then again, maybe it wasn't so strange.

[Kender Bard]

Mina didn't seem ruffled by the fact. "Ah well," she replied simply, and bent over to kiss Nathan again.

As though speaking of them was like an incantation to some grisly summoning spell, Astrophel burst into a loud wail that jarred Mina so abruptly that her feathers ruffled and she gave a small jump.

"The little master summons me," she joked. Before she left she gave him another, concerned look and asked, "Are you sure you two will be all right while I'm gone?"

[Darastrix]

Nathan nodded. "We can just find someone to watch him when I have work and we'll be fine," he told her.
