[He supposes they're all dead now. Why not. Munch munch on what is probably the saddest excuse of bacon and eggs.]

A small army of illithids. And a beholder that was controlling them.

[hermit_crab]

[ Ah, Tolovir winces at that. ]

Nasty business then. No wonder they where having mining issues.

[inclementia]

[It's not a time he likes to think about. The journey down, Clarota betraying them, finding Kima tortured. They were all so sure they would lose someone on the way out. He eats quietly for a few minutes.]

Yes. Well. They've been successfully mining again, and they owe us a favor. So I'm using it.

[hermit_crab]

[ Ah, something worse happened then. Tolovir debates asking for more detail before simply nodding. ]

For your - ah. Bureaucratic mission.

[inclementia]

Yes. For that.

At least it should be relatively painless.

[hermit_crab]

If you cleared out an entire army of ilithids, I'd say a favor is the least he can do. Yes.

[inclementia]

The absolute least.

[Honestly maybe it's not the worst bacon and eggs. It definitely isn't good, but maybe not the worst.]

Anyway, I don't see any reason they shouldn't let you through. [If Tolovir is being honest. His insight's usually correct, but it never hurts to be cautious.]

[hermit_crab]

[ Tolovir doesn't seem the type to lie outright, at least. Just not always forthcoming. ]

Good. Ah. One fewer complication.

[inclementia]

Indeed.

...May I ask what takes you to the Star Mounts? You said your sister?

[hermit_crab]

Oh, yes. That's right. I hadn't mentioned Eike, had I.

[ He continues to eat as he talks. Casual, as if he's not saying something weird here. ]

She's an Aarakocra.

[inclementia]

[Percy watches him for a moment. Nothing so deep, but simply a look that goes on for an uncomfortable few more moments.]

Your sister.

[hermit_crab]

Yes.

[ And after the stare goes on a few moments-- ]

Adopted. Extremely adopted. She's part of the group that kidnapped me.

[inclementia]

[Phew. Not that he was going to judge but phew.]

Kidnapped you. I see.

[hermit_crab]

[ UGhhhh he sees that look too. ]

Kidnapping is a minor exaggeration, but it's not as though I had another option at the time. My cottage had been burned to the ground. And they were insistent on taking me with them.

[inclementia]

Ah. That makes more sense. I didn't want to assume.

[hermit_crab]

... You have stronger feelings on the topic, I see.

[inclementia]

On the topic of different races adopting each other? None whatsoever. I hadn't considered it before, but who am I to say anything?

[hermit_crab]

Obviously not that. Me saying I'd been kidnapped.

[inclementia]

You weren't clear.

And on that... [The light tone drifts a bit, leaving him quiet.] I would say my thoughts are apologetic that it happened to you at all.

[hermit_crab]

The sentiment is appreciated. And the sympathy?

[ He eyes Percy critically. ]

[inclementia]

Really don't know what you're talking about.

[Tips his cup back to take a decent swig.]

[hermit_crab]

No. No experience with such matters at all, I see.

[inclementia]

I'm afraid you'll need to elaborate.

[hermit_crab]

[ SIGH ... does he want to know? Well, yes. Does he want to ask? That's more debatable. ]

If it's private I am fully aware of the fact we've only known each other a few hours. But still. That seemed to strike a chord with you. Do you have experience with being kidnapped, then?

[inclementia]

[This is a weird hill to die on, sir. But Percy can at least tell when someone isn't going to back down.]

Is it so important to know?
