The Skayleigh had been able to observe what had been going on between Alice and Sett the evening before, but only visually. The sheer presence of Vanya had made him unwilling to get involved into this dialogue because in her vicinity, he felt socially uncomfortable.

However - he had failed. This elvish queen seemed to be capable of controlling a damn long queue of people that had spoken and that she felt the need to address. Well... she was a queen ? Was this ability such a surprise ? Likely not. This did not at all diminish the fact that the lady had spoiled his idea of personally introducing himself to the tall and armored woman that had arrived even after he had. At least Vanya seemed to be honest in what she had told everyone about everyone.

The next day, she was gone. Given her admittedly impressive abilities likely not on foot, but by teleportation. Hopefully she did this all day... From bed onto her chamber pot! From there to the kitchen! From there to the table she maybe used to eat breakfast! Into the bath tub! In front of her mirror to prepare herself for the throne room! Right into that damn thing! Maybe she had children she could pick up from whereever they were by this spell ? The more the better! It would increase the chances of her body ending as a miserably mangled, rapidly rotting heap of meat with the wrong side out!

It was even less than a questionable daydream though. Reality caught the Skayleigh in its grasp quickly as they headed out to their rendezvous point. An-Hasst was a bit jealous of Calanon. He could roam around freely on his elk at speed, a task the Skayleigh would probably find less boring than just walking.

Then, the group came to a halt. A bog ? Now that was dangerous. Especially for himself: At his weight he could sink in there like a stone. The half-elf half-giant spoke loud enough so that everyone would be able to hear him: "I'm afraid I don't have the proper arrows for shooting a rope over it with my crossbow, but some sort of lifeline is highly advisable I think. Does anybody have a really long rope ? Someone could wrap it around his waist and start crossing it while the others are ready to pull that one out if things go wrong. If we do this one by one we will have enough people on the other side to help from there soon enough."
