Skobeloff follows the group out of the cell and to the kitchen. [color=00746b]"You three have a seat at the table and relax. I reckon you've earned a break after all that's happened here."[/color] Skobeloff said as he moved to begin gathering the ingredients he needed. [color=00746b]"The tea will be ready in a few minutes."[/color] Having said that, Skobeloff fell silent as he focused entirely on making the tea. As the water boiled, the Trickster peered into a small bowl he had set down away from everything else. Skobeloff had placed the gem sand he had collected from the beach inside the bowl. Teleportation wasn't the only property it had. If one were to look down on the gem sand at just the right angle before talking to someone about something important, the light glinting off the sand would impart insights into how best to speak with them. After a moment, Skobeloff nodded himself before stowing the sand away and turning back to the tea.

A few minutes later, Skobeloff arrived at the table with a kettle full of tea and four steaming cups already filled. [color=00746b]"I hope you all enjoy."[/color] Skobeloff said as he passed a cup to each dragon at the table before placing the kettle in the center and taking his own cup to the place left for him. [color=00746b]"Once we're finished, we'll discuss the event that Fogdance cannot remember and what we are doing next. For now though, kanpai."[/color] For the next few minutes, Skobeloff sipped his tea and made pleasant conversation with the others, making sure they were all calm and relaxed. Then, once the kettle ran dry and the cups were empty, Skobeloff cleared his throat and turned to Fogdance, the smile that usually adorned his face fading away as he spoke.

[color=00746b]"So Fogdance, you wanted to know what you were up to during the events you cannot recall."[/color] Skobeloff said. [color=00746b]"Well some time during the course of your outing, the Darkness managed to get a hold of you and turn your normally nurturing nature into an over-protectiveness that bordered on possessiveness. This caused you to take... extreme measures to ensure the safety of your charges."[/color] Skobeloff paused then to ensure this revelation wasn't too distressing for Fogdance, taking a moment to calm her down if it was before continuing on. [color=00746b]"When I got here, we managed to coax you back from your Shadowself."[/color] Skobeloff said. [color=00746b]"But as for what to do now, perhaps it would be prudent to ensure the Darkness can't get to you the same way it did before... I get the feeling that you recall more than you let on, possibly something related to how you became your Shadowself. Anything involving that is sure to be a sensitive subject. But to have the best chance of keeping it from getting that bad again, it needs to be discussed."[/color]
