Quiet Musing|Malagard, Khelek

"It has definitely gotten better over the years," Colin answered. "I try to be friendly, but I can be a bit of a loner at times. As for the rest of Khelek, you should have seen them years ago, other elementals hardly set foot here."

"Mmhm, I've heard the stories," Max assured Colin. "I'm not Khelek native myself. Ronduin born; I came because Locket asked me to, telling me how badly a Water was needed on hand for emergencies. Not to mention that the temple here needs more Soahcians. And she's right, and we still do. I have no idea what anyone's going to do to bring in more supplicants. You're the first new face we've seen in a while."

"Have you tried talking to the people at any of our festivals?" Colin asked, though he was sure they had. "It's hard to get through to my people at times, especially the older ones, but we aren't unreachable."

"We need a festival," Max replied, wandering down a tangent thought. "I think the next one to be celebrated isn't until summer though." It seemed that was when most of the Forces had their largest holy days.

"Then on the next festival you can try and recruit more people to the Soahc wing of the temple," Colin said with a small smile. "I don't know how enticing the poses of the Proud will be though."

[Kender Bard]

"What? What?" one of the Proud, eavesdropping, gave Colin a small glare as he walked over to join the conversation. "What do you mean? Are you implying something?"

Max grinned and watched Colin, wondering how he'd get out of this.

[Devon]

"Oh I'm not implying anything at all," he answered. "Personally I like your poses, but..if you want to impress the citizens of Khelek you might have to do a little more than pose. I'm sure they'd love them too though."

[Kender Bard]

"There's no reason for the people NOT to love us," the Proud sniffed haughtily. "We are the elite of this entire nation. Honestly they should be making hefty contributions to our coffers just for allowing us to grace their presence."
