I'm... Honored.... (Plot)

[Kender Bard]

Libre took a deep breath as he teleported outside the inn. "A ring for me from Thuoth," he muttered to Timble, whose eyes also widened a touch.

Forces. Of course he would accept. How could he not? But... Flame... And what would Thuoth want of him? He was suddenly loathe to find out.

Ryder appeared soon after with Nalani beside him. Bowing deeply he greeted Master Libre. "Pleasure to meet you Master," Ryder said.

[Kender Bard]

Libre smiled faintly at the two. "A pleasure to meet you as well, ringbearer."

Nalani dipped into a curtsy. "Ryder has your ring from Thuoth, but we must warn you that some of the rings have-"

"Hurt their owners?" Libre finished for her. "I'm aware. I'm helping my sister deliver Soahc's ring, and we had the same problem. My friend found a drug that helps with the pain, though. If I need to, I'll take it."

"All I could figure out from Sunray is that it had something to do with what he was doing before the ring," Ryder told Libre. "But he wouldn't elaborate and I couldn't get a vision to help me," Ryder pushed that topic aside for now. Reaching into his pocket he drew one of the rings.

"Master Libre, here is your ring from Thuoth," he said holding it out.

[Kender Bard]

Libre accepted the ring, studying it a moment. With a deep breath, he slid it on his finger, cringing already-

And no pain. The ring gently uncurled, wrote along his finger, and curled back up again. Libre looked at it in surprise. He tried to read the writing... He could sort of tell it was based on Old Tongue, though it didn't look like anything HE'D ever seen.

"Thank you," Libre replied, with a touch of relief. "Where are you headed to next in your journey?"

[Devon]

"Next is Mentis, Master Libre and there is one more land to visit after that," Ryder said shying away from answering. Nalani had tried to get that bit of information out of him, but he remained tight lipped.

[Kender Bard]

Nalani glanced at Ryder sideways, wondering still where else that would be.

Libre gave a small nod. "Good luck then. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with Mentis. I've only visited infrequently and always in brief trips. If you need any assistance, though, do not hesitate to ask."

[Devon]

"Thank you Master Libre," Ryder said. "I'll be sure to let you know if I do need any help. Thankfully I'm almost done though. I pray for your and your family's safety," he told him as he bowed farewell.
