MrSkimobileWhile still looking a little concerned, Runa's attitude very quickly brightens as Fellwing assures her she's okay and agrees to help her to the Capitol. "Oh I know where my brother is," Runa says. "There are a few underground tunnels in this area. He decided he needed a rest after all the traveling. I can lead you to him. I'm sure he'd be very happy to meet you, and to know we will no longer be wandering aimlessly."
Fogdance smiles warmly. "I'm fine, Skobeloff," she says. "You needn't worry about me. I'm not in pain and from what Heliotrope has seen, there's no side-effects I have to worry about. I'm just... changed, I suppose. Not too much, but in order to conduct that ritual, a price had to be paid, and I am fine with paying it." She glances around the room before lowering her voice so only her and Skobeloff could here. "Better me than someone else, I think." As she speaks, Skobeloff can hear a tone of serenity in her tone that was not there prior. She seems... wiser, almost, like whatever happened with the ritual has given her some insight that she did not previously have.
Shieldwing's questions took a moment to fully register in Rudrick's mind, but once they did, he seemed to loosen up ever-so-slightly, as if remembering himself. "Well, as your elder, it is my responsibility to look out for you," he says. "But you're right, I am worried about Garrock. I don't know much about the mines, only than they've been closed off for being unstable. There is a chance, though, that some creatures might have made home in the tunnels since they were left and..." He pauses, and a look of deep discomfort creeps into his features. "A family member going off into the wilderness, alone, into a scenario he's not entirely prepared for... let's just say it's scenario that I've been through before, and I would rather hope the outcome is not the same." For the first time since meeting him, Rudrick's mask slips off almost entirely and Shieldwing gets the strong impression that beneath his jovial nature, Rudrick is a dragon holding onto a lot of pain. Pain that he has been likely holding onto for quite some time, and he has never felt he could talk to anyone about. In this moment of worry, he might be willing to finally let some of the pain out.
