[h3]Lissa[/h3] Entering Nylah’s house along with said host and Eirhild, she gave a quick look around before her eyes fell on Sorcha, standing guard by one of the doors. Despite the frosty initial introduction between the two, she nonetheless gave the grumpy woman a polite nod of acknowledgement before she turned back to follow the mothraki girl to whatever she was doing, apparently grabbing supplies for the evening’s supper. Ah, so it seemed Nylah wanted to discuss something along the lines of the little expedition that she was planning. [b]“Well, sure, we can talk about it shortly,”[/b] the Raam-in-disguise nodded, before glancing over at the ingredients laid out in front of them. [b]“Maybe in the meantime I can help you with preparing your stew?”[/b] Once that was done, though, she sat down together with the other girls after giving an acknowledgement of thanks to her host like a gracious guest should. Once they were eating, they finally had the talk that Nylah had so wished earlier. [b]“Right. The effects of bad timing with all of these… local disasters was what made me think the elder beast was to blame…”[/b] Lissa considered her words as she slowly sipped her stew. She gave a hum of approval after her first sip, before continuing on.

Whatever that ultimately ends up being, either going in for a committed rescue mission, or falling back to reassess the situation or gather more help all depends on what the landscape looks like. Without proper information or manpower, the pre-planning scouting mission would also have to fall to us…” [/b]
