As Ryla rallied everyone she could, one of the bunny men came to talk to her. Some guy named Flare or Fire (Freyr), something elvish. She glaceed at Bast, who seemed to be saying something to her. Unfortunately she couldn't read lips and had no interest in his subtly, so she called him out. [color=a2d39c]"Ah? Why are you whispering? We don't have time for gossip right now Bast, we got a quest to do!"[/color] She was only somewhat aware that Bast was trying to say something about Freyr, but frankly the ogreling cared very little. Still with just her and Bast, she needed at least one more hand. So Ryla marched up to Winter.

[color=a2d39c]"Winter! Glad to have you on our team."[/color] Ryla took Winter by the hand and raised it up between the two of them, wanting the snow woman's assistance on this mission. [color=a2d39c]"Come with me into the forests, I'm mostly there to get rare ingredients! Mushrooms and regents to make the most powerful of potions! And of course we could do a bit of hunting and get all sorts of delicious foods too. I know a thing or two about foraging, and if we finish our quest quickly I can make us a feast in celebration of a job well done! But I can only do this with your help. So, how about it Winter? Come with me and help with the quest, please! Say yes! Say yes!"[/color] With every sentence Ryla moved her face closer and closer to Winter until their noses were touching.

Suddenly turning around Ryla pointed in a seemingly random direction. [color=a2d39c]"As the lil boy mentioned, we need to head to Mahigan first and find the wife. With any luck she'll give us some clues to help find her husband. Maybe even some supplies too! And for that I'll need your help, Bast."[/color] Ryla walked over to Bast while tugging on Winter's hand. [color=a2d39c]"That lady must be heart-broken, an a smooth talker like you could coax some answers from her. And if she's a widower, work that magic! Now then, are you both ready?"[/color]
