Janius knew that it was not particularly wise to go wandering Bravil. Still, he couldn't help but smile at Kaleeth's enthusiasm. He looked away in and hummed in thought. "The city has changed since I was last here." He brushed a hand over his face. "So have I, honestly. I'm probably hard to recognise after all this time." He looked at Kaleeth. "It might be worth risking it, just to see some old haunts and sights. I'm not sure if there is an entire day to it, but we could go out. I could show you both where I grew up."

Fendros took up a sword and shield as well. Both he and Lorag were still in their armour when they arrived, which no doubt instilled more reasons to avoid them from the guards, but also meant that the sparring would likely be with contact. In spite of Lorag's diminishing physical peak, Fendros had never gone easy on him for the sake of pride. He knew that would be an insult to Lorag, more than anything else.

Initially, Fendros tried to distract from whatever was worrying Lorag. He tapped the flat of his practice sword against the edge of his shield and dropped into a guard. "Alright, let's make the day count!" Fendros said. They began to take steps to keep each other on-edge. Fendros was the first to commit to a strike at Lorag's shoulder and leg in succession.

But can he rhyme?

@Antarctic Termite

He will rhyme 'orange' with 'strange' just to piss Whisper off.

I'd like to think that Aitiraq figured out the consequences of what Teknall said to Slough before the beginning and thought to himself:

Welp, I cannot top this shit.
Here you go weirdo,
Don't ask where this came from!

These wishes make life engaging.

Also, very nice idea for how to use Toun's freebie.

Janius took a seat next to Kaleeth while he faced her and listened. He feigned a smile that faded soon enough. There were few times where Janius' parents were brought up that put him in a pleasant mood. "Well, he does look more like you, to be fair," Janius said as a concealed way to change the subject. "He probably imagined your parents before mine. Have you spoken to him much about your mother and father?"

Upon seeing Lorag's state, Fendros had a few ideas on what might have been affecting him. He gave Ahnasha and Meesei a quick look before facing Lorag. "Of course. There was less fighting than I had expected today." Fendros then addressed Ahnasha. "Did you want to come along, Ahna, or did you want to have Meesei fill you in on what happened after you left?"

@Malchivo Unfortunately, I have a job interview today. If Capy doesn't start one before me, I'll set up a shared document tonight so we can start discussing how we're going to do this.

@Antarctic Termite

Who isn't terrified of Australians?! They are genetically super human who are almost on par with the stereotypical Russian!

@Lauder

Stereotypical Russians? Time to throw together a meme in twenty minutes...

...Aaaand done.

This just in: Kho is terrified of Australians.

@Antarctic Termite

Well, yeah. He's British.

Lunise was listless by the time they reached Bravil. She dismissively allowed Areldril to be watched over by Imperial guards before retreating to a private room to read the rest of the documents she was given. When asked about pursuing Areldril's men, Lunise requested that they be hounded for one more week unless she said otherwise. Even if it seemed arbitrary, it made sense from Marod's perspective. She did not want to be accused of negligence when and if she rejoined the Dominion.

From when they neared the Bravil gates to the time they were in the garden, Janius continued to glance over his shoulder and scanned the faces of the people they passed. He was understandably on-edge, even if he had previously assured Kaleeth that he was unrecognisable, if not forgotten, due to his age now. He turned his head to Kaleeth only after a couple of seconds. He was still distracted, even in the courtyard.

"Oh? Well...probably," Janius answered. "They were not especially old when I was born. They would certainly be elderly by now." He rolled his shoulders tensely and looked down at the flowers. "May have even tried having another child after I disappeared. Without making the same mistakes. They would want an heir, after all."

Feel free to skip us along. There might be some coming-to-terms for Lunise but I'm unsure if it really needs a scene. Lunise isn't a main character, really.

Lunise's response was suddenly closer to her usual cynical tone. "On the contrary, champion, the only risk that would change in Bravil is Marod being able to vouch his political asylum and betray our agreements. Far be it from me to encourage Areldril here's ego, he escaped from more heavily guarded Dominion cities."

"I have no reason to turn my back on the Dominion just yet, Lunise, don't you worry," Marod assured.

Lunise rolled her eyes. "My point is, Meesei, that his escape will be my concern and not yours. Leave it in my hands until I request otherwise, if you would. We shall proceed to Bravil, or anywhere else close by. It is of no appreciable consequence to me yet."

"It looked like the guards were heading towards Bravil," Fendros said. "It will be easier to rendezvous with Ahnasha and the other trackers if we go that way anyway."
