The before polite Mari has surprised Eowyn in her quick leave and harsh choice of words. First impressions weren't all there was, but it reminded Eowyn of Ryan who had gone off on his own... Although, it was a lot less likely that anything on or near the beach would petrify Mari's innards, than it'd been in Mösund's network of tunnels. 

Fortunately Remia was still her old self, and Nathair, despite his awkward nature, seemed sensitive enough. At the very least he knew Arlette. His spirit on the other hand, had a rather... Curious behaviour, and relationship with his holder for that matter. Even Sleipnir, who was about as proud and arrogant as Eowyn had ever known a spirit, never assumed authority over Eowyn. Quartz was a strange one.

As everyone, well outside of Mari, agreed, they left for a place further away from the crowds. Quartz and Arlette seemed to get along and she seemed less nervous in the presence of the small snake. Eowyn was relieved. Still, there was their mission, and so Eowyn asked everyone “What do you think our strategy should be? Four of us are knights, but showing spirits to the crowd would unnerve them I think.”

Unfortunately Sigmund couldn't see or hear Sophia either, and so he just laughed. “Well, let's see if they taught you anything fancy there.” He replied to Charles, as he already prepared his distraction. He stepped away from the knight and out in the open, putting his hands near his mouth and activating his provoke skill; so that all eyes would be on him. 

“Any of you guys got a carrier pigeon? I need to send a message!” Sigmund asked. This way Eidren's question could be useful after all...
