Both Vipereyes and Tamba abruptly stop their conversation to glance over at Stargaze. The former in particular looks a little annoyed to be suddenly interrupted during her conversation, but Tamba very gently cuts in before the older dragon can say anything. "Oh we weren't originally on that island because of the Darkness," she says. "House Myndoth has been very interested in that island recently. You saw how rich in magical energies it was!" She pauses and looks round to see where Skobeloff is and gestures to him with a claw. "Like that magical sand that Skobeloff found!"
At these words, all the annoyance left Vipereyes' face and she too glanced over at where Skobeloff was. "Magical sand?" she says. "This is the first I'm hearing about this."
Tamba claps her claws together. "That's how the rest of our group got to you so fast!" she says. "We teleported right to you."
The older dragon starts scratching her chin with her claw thoughtfully. "Fascinating," she says.
Tamba turns back to Stargaze. "And there are probably many more secrets just like that, just waiting to be discovered," she says. "And the ritual likely tapped into even more of the island's innate magic. If we go there again, who knows what will have changed, what things we'll be able to unearth."
Vipereyes glances over towards Fogdance and Garrock, a small smirk forming on her face. "And to think, the House of Diamond was just sitting on all that potential the entire time," she says, raising her voice slightly so the pair can hear her.
Garrock glances over his shoulder at Vipereyes, the look in his eyes implying he doesn't much appreciate that comment, but otherwise decides not to engage in what is obvious argument bait. Fogdance, for her part, responds without even bothering to look over her shoulder. "Tessith wasn't sitting on anything, Vipereyes," she says. "Just because we made a stronghold there doesn't mean we had any claim on the island. We simply stayed there for a time." There's a heaviness in her voice that implies this is not the first time these two have had this conversation.
"And that's something I never understood," Vipereyes says. "Tessith has probably seen more of Isles' natural beauty than any other House, but you're all so uncurious." Vipereyes pauses, as if expecting Fogdance to cut in. When she doesn't, the Myndoth dragon continues, "We've been on these Isles for centuries now, and there are still so many things we haven't uncovered, so many relics of the past that could tell us so much. How much of that have your people seen and then proceeded to do absolutely nothing with?" She gives a loud sigh. "It baffles me. It really does."
"Some things in the past are best left alone," Fogdance says. Her voice is notably a little quieter than before, though not quiet enough that the group can't hear her.
Vipereyes gives a snort at this, but doesn't respond to her further, instead looking back to Tamba. "Typical Tessith dragon," she says with a shake of her head.
Tamba smiles back in response, but it's a somewhat strained smile. Considering her own twin and clutchmate is Tessith, she doesn't seem as willing to badmouth the House as the older dragon is.

Why would Jub be blaming himself?
Survivor's guilt, basically. Both he and Brut went out on that boat and got attacked by the merrows, but only Jub made it out. Brut was (in Jub's mind) this really powerful unstoppable force, and Jub is this squishy wizard. In his mind, he's gonna be like "I really shouldn't have been the one who made it out of that situation"
... this is assuming, of course, Jub does make it out of this. We still don't know, obviously xD
I'm sure everyone outside of the water already saw that Gabe's blunder cost the life of a party member.
If it's any consolation, Jub's going to be too busy blaming himself to be upset with Gabe
Btw, sorry I'm not really posting much here. I don't really have much for Flicker to do or say right now, they're just kinda... quiet, and stuck in their own head.
Looking forward to when the rest of the group re-meets up with Plasm though. That'll be interesting.

Everybody ready your eulogies for Brutrumukk's funeral, it's going to be a confused mess. Jub's going to be in shock, Aurora and Gabe are going to be struggling how exactly to summarize this madlad they've known for like three days, Zavakri's probably going to give a speech about the probability of death or something, and Tsak's going to be just standing there like "I literally lost track of you idiots for a couple of days and when I find you again, one of you just fucking dies"
Me, reading Rush's most recent post: Okay, how the hell did we get from "Brutrumukk is having crazy mushroom hallucinations and driving the group insane with nonsense" to "Brutrumukk is pulling a heroic sacrifice and using his possible last moments to save his friend"? I didn't ask for these emotions, but they seem to be here now, and I am not okay.
Short post. Thought I'd drop the answer to Skobeloff's roll while we wait for responses. Make of this information what you will xP
During his observation of Fogdance, Skobeloff notices that the coloration of her eyes and scales aren't the only physical changes caused by the ritual. It's subtle, but there are a few more wrinkles along her face and the back of her claws. It appears that, in order to replenish the forest, the Spirit Moon took some of Fogdance's life force, causing the dragon to age slightly. She's still not an Elder Dragon, but it's highly likely her final Rite of Aging will now come sooner than it was meant to. Fogdance, for her part, either hasn't noticed these changes or is untroubled by the implication that her lifespan may have been shortened.
Plasm's going to rise from their sick bed all like...
