» As we are in another foreign land I find it prudent that we have something established connecting us all so that we may better coordinate on this mission.

» It is highly likely that we find ourselves separated by which court we all belong to. To help pull back the veil and see which allies we have close to us, if any, I recommend we share now to which court we belong.

» I shall go first. I am a member of the summer court: Florere.

A fine provision. I understand we may have unique setbacks or needs in accordance with which court we have been assigned. We would do well to be mindful of these factors, that we might ease the challenges this mission poses in what ways we can.

I've been assigned Aestus, court of spring.

» Indeed. May it also serve if one of us is in some manner of trouble with the fairy denizens of this world. Better to cast the shield now than to wait until we are under fire.

» Alas, we are not the same. May our differences instead bring us a more versatile advantage.

Under fire, you say.

[ Forgive him, he knows what Joshua meant, yet would his shield not also be fire? ]

It comes as little surprise. But it does grant us a wider net without standing out for having cast it, so I've no doubt we shall make use of it.

We are of the same court, you and I. Spring suits your disposition far better than it does my own.

It would be wise to move about in tandem that we may not be caught alone with an "Oathbreaker". May it serve to also make us look more connected to the world, rather than stumbling alone.

The season, perhaps. I'm inclined to believe neither of us prideful.

Have you concerns over their party game? It seems harmless, unless those flowers have some ill influence.

The season is indeed what I was referencing. You are like spring's first coming sigh after the harsh of winter's breath has ended.

Is it unusual to be concerned with the main entertainment provided by our winter hosts? I intend to blend in with this society; my dossier claims they handle both host and guest rights with utmost gravity. Would you have us shun that which our hosts have labored towards?

[ It isn't the first time Sleipnir has compared him with spring, though Dion refrains from commenting upon it. ]

Surely because light is my element. Sanbreque was quite verdant.

I mean simply to focus on the task at hand. Blending in hardly demands giving oneself over to diversion.

[ You’ve lost him. ]

For what reason are you referencing your element? Waloed is quite verdant yet my liege’s mastery is over darkness.

Lady Aurora also stipulates we “display cultural understanding”. Somehow I doubt this will be an oral test. I would rather not gamble with our world’s fate. Or do you detest the idea of my presence so much? You wound me.

You spoke of spring. I would associate that with light, and greenery in my nation is as ample as it is because of an abundance of that element.

[ What little he saw of Waloed was not what he would describe as verdant, alas. He'd not seen the forests he associates with his home. ]

I suppose I question why you would select me, of all potential options.

I am unsure if it is you who is misunderstanding or myself. It is not your aspect which leads me to think of spring, but rather it is you.

We are of the same court. It seems strategically wise as for the majority of the year fae stick to their home court. Together we could legitimize a past for ourselves. Besides, you are pleasant to be around.

Why, then, if not my light?

[ Pleasant to be around.

Dion hadn't suspected Sleipnir thought this of him. ]

Very well. What do you propose for a background?

Is your personality not unlike a spring morning? Cold at first glance and touch, yet ever growing warmer. Those around you bloom in your wake.

It may be best we scout the fae populace first, see what types of threads weave them together before we choose something to imitate... But if you wish for us to choose now we could pose as old lovers.

[ Spitting his tea that he definitely has for the express purpose of doing so.

Surely he said that for shock value. ]

I make for a poor actor, so I think something which hews closer to the truth would be better.

Are you propositioning me? I will admit I do not mind it.

You know full well that I am not.

Can you blame a man for trying?

Then I think we should pose as old friends with potential romantic interests. This would give us an excuse to whisper in each other's ears if we have need to discuss anything taboo.

[ He can, yes, as hastily he sops up that tea. ]

Old friends will do then.

[ He's not touching the rest of it... ]

Good idea, Joshua. Hopefully, this will help us keep track of mission progress and make it easier to reach out if we need help.

I'm in Sirena, the autumn court.

If anyone finds themselves in need of anything, please let me know and I'll do what I can to help. I can make potions of just about any kind. We could use them for aid and trade.

» Thank you, sir Crandall.

» It seems we are beginning to get the whole array of the courts.

» You've found yourself with skill for potioncraft? That is incredible, brother. I have a mind to get some sort of bag or rucksack. Might I procure a potion so that I may trade for one?

» I've the ability to shift into a new creature I have not witnessed before. Some sort of bird-antelope mix.

You are very welcome, Praeclarus.

I think we do have all of them among the six of us. I would be surprised if we didn’t, especially considering it looks like I am on my own, so to speak. I’m sure there will be people I know in my court.

Of course, you can have a potion. You might want to wait a day or two until I can be sure they are actually good, though.

Is there a picture in your dossier or do we have to wait until we get there to see your new form? Not that it matters, I’d still like to see it in person.

[You're getting all of this in one text Joshua, you madman.]

» You do seem to have a way with making connections wherever you go; I'm also certain you'll know folk within your court.

» Very well, I shall await what is certain to be your most recent success.

» You shall have to wait until you see me. Perhaps that is the payment I can bestow upon you for the potion. I cannot wait to show you.

[ Joshua can sense your ridged decorum for this, Clive, and he will continue to bombard you in separate texts. ]

That sounds like a fair payment to me.

Is there any particular type of potion you would like me to try for?

[Still only getting things in one text from him, Joshua. He's decided he is going to be stubborn about this.]

Very well.

We share in our Court designation. Such may prove fortuitous. We will convene anon.

[ This is what dread and excitement feel like in tandem. We will convene anon, indeed. ]

You need but tell me where and when and I shall meet you there.
