psychic link;

[Might be bad timing, but Rhus reaches out to as many Strangers as he can after the daily morning exercises held by Allairavar are over, before the meager breakfast offerings.]

I've been workin' on growth formulas to speed along plant growth, but for a stronger one I need somethin' that cant be available here. That means I've an adventure to undertake, an' I need three companions to come with me. [Forgive him, he prefers making his delivery of the facts concise-- perhaps too concise, sometimes.] I'm off to the wilds of Adh Rikair down south to get to the plants there, an' the librarians tell me it weren't easy. On foot it takes too long, but there's a way to quickly travel. The darker your Jewel, the faster an' safer the psychic highways will be, I'm told.

But the wilds are full of dangerous people, hence they insisted I have companions to help out-- aside from you helpin' me transport back the plants I need to work with. The Winds are darker'n Red, an' I should be safe as a Sapphire. I don' know what these Winds are truly, or how they operate, but if you're close to my colour or darker, an' you've no issue with combat if it becomes necessary, mayhap you could come with.

[A pause before he starts up again. He almost forgot.]

An' whoever else who don't come can still help out-- I've some plants already dosed with weaker formulas. They need tendin' an' close examinations while I'm away.

[ooc: plotting can happen in my ooc post too!]

[She'll be his sledgehammer, he thinks.]

Aye, aye. Jus' be careful, all right? We don' know what those witches an' Black Widows do.

[arrogator]

Yeah. I will be.

[She's not going to say she's always careful, but she'll do her best to be on her guard.]

Wouldn't be doing a great job of helping if I rush in and get taken out by something.

[verstoned]

Aye, that's true. [It's only lucky that this is a psychic link, and thus Rhus' sigh of relief wont be heard. Nor would the lighting of a match or the deep inhale through the mouthpiece of a pipe.

Or his long, slow exhale of sweet smoke.]

I been learnin' healing some here in Draega, but I don't know much still. But I can if I must.

[arrogator]

Probably more than me, so I'll leave the healer stuff to you then.

[verstoned]

I'd rather you did. No need for more'n one healer in a small group.

[verstoned]

Aye, I prefer it that way. But that weren't an excuse for you to not be careful, yes?

[arrogator]

Hey, don't worry about me. I'm always careful.

[...she really isn't.]

[verstoned]

Y'know, I lost count at how many people told me that. As a practised healer, I never believe that.

[arrogator]

Yeah well, you haven't met me before. I'm probably way better at this than they are.

[The fact that she hasn't met these people either is lost on her.]

[verstoned]

That don't fill me with any sort o' confidence, still.

[arrogator]

Yeah well, you'll think differently when this is over.

[verstoned]

[Nnnnno he wont.]

No, I shan't, 'cause no one's ever changed my mind when I'm their healer.
