Of warlocks.... Interesting.

And they actually managed to get things done?

[hermit_crab]

Well. There were times when I wondered. But they pooled enough sense to keep things moving.

[inclementia]

Hm. That does seem to be how things go for the eclectic groups.

[hermit_crab]

[ He nods. And this sigh is ... fond, at least. ]

Thiala was usually reasonable, if a little quiet. I owe a great deal to them.

[inclementia]

Hm. The exception to prove the rule, then.

[hermit_crab]

Exactly so. The others ... ah. Pulled in all directions.

[ STILL FOND. SO FOND. AND YET. ]

[inclementia]

[HE CAN SEE IT.

He's drinking his ale a little slower.]

So you and the quiet one tried to keep things together?

[hermit_crab]

You have a vast overestimation of my influence here. If they hadn't been going to the Underdark to save the country, I'd have happily stayed on the ship.

[inclementia]

Ah.

[You're the Allura, then. He understands perfectly.]

So more like you watched them make absolute fools of themselves as they tried to figure it out.

[hermit_crab]

[ SURE IS. ]

... I mean this is in the nicest way possible. But yes, you've hit on the dynamic exactly.

[inclementia]

Oh, there's no offense here. I was and continue to be one to make an absolute fool of myself while we figure it out. Half the time we barely know what we're doing.

[hermit_crab]

Is that the case now as well?

[inclementia]

Yes.

[Siiiip.]

My group is an entire collective of assholes. At least you had the quiet one.

[hermit_crab]

I mean, Eike was not an asshole either. She simply. Wasn’t quiet.

[ A beat. ]

How in the world did you stand being with a group entirely made of assholes?

[inclementia]

They're entertaining.

...And they care. Far more than they should.

[hermit_crab]

… Ah. That makes all the difference in the world, doesn’t it.

[inclementia]

It really does. I'm glad I met them.

[hermit_crab]

It does. I - I am the same way. And besides -

[ He swallows a bit. ]

… Thiala brought my father back to me when I thought he was dead. They could do anything at this point and I would still owe them everything.

[inclementia]

[He stops for a moment. Thinks that over because... Gods. If Cassandra could have been brought back to him on better terms...]

I'm happy you were able to have that. Your friend did you a great service.

[hermit_crab]

They truly did.

[ He finishes off the last of his ale. ]

They’re continuing to help with the drow trade route reconnections I mentioned. From what I can tell, it’s going quite well for them.

[inclementia]

Trade connections?

[Whoop different part of his brain piquing interest.]

What sort of trade, if you don't mind my asking?

[hermit_crab]

Oh. Ah -

[ His face crinkles a bit as he tried to remember specifics. ]

Shipping, specifically, and with a special interest in fabrics.. Does the name Teinithra mean anything to you?

[inclementia]

[!!]

A bit, yes. As I've been looking into shipping and receiving myself, I've seen the name here and there. And you say one of them helped you save your father? And your cities?

[hermit_crab]

[ Tolovir nods, brightening a bit. ]

Thiala Teinithra, yes. They restored my father to me, as I said. And they saved my life during the ritual to restore my country, and now they’re helping with the trade reconnections…

[ He takes in a breath after all that. ]

And they are a good friend. One of my closest.

[inclementia]

[Percy finishes his drink and sets the dishes cleanly out of his way, watching Tolovir. It's calculating.]

You said before that you would 'return the same' if I gave you an introduction to Lord Grayspine.

Would you perchance be willing to give me an introduction to the Teinithra family?
