[ The two of them - Thancred and Lahabrea, fully powered - had decided to go to the First (to a slightly different one. Ssh.). To take care of the Minfilias. Give them new bodies, and a chance though time. The Exarch? He was a little surprised to see these two, but had accepted their help...

...even if Lahabrea complained a lot about working with him. But over the last few months, strange Carbuncle-like faeries had been appearing. And Lahabrea was still upset by them... though perhaps today, Thancred would find out why?

Because Lahabrea had taken off his mask in his Hrothgar body, beginning to sneeze, as one had crawled onto his chest. ] Damned pixies... if not for Waters and his children, I would devour you.

A lot seems to, here. [His sense for that isn't quite as good, but… it's hard to escape. He settles this faerie-carbunclde to the side a little, scritching it behind the ears to appease it, and gets an handkerchief for Lahabrea.] It seems as though it's more than that, though… you haven't had this reaction to anything else, have you?

Only some of the flora of Il Mheg - remind me, again, why you want to go there? [ He huffed, as he used the handkerchief. ] I blame this body.

Il Mheg… these do look rather flower-inspired, actually…. Hm. I think- there's something to be found there. If we could speak with the fae, perhaps…. [He hums, frowning.] I see. Perhaps there's some medicine we could ask after?

...Is this about that Miqo'te saying he lost somebody? [ Lahabrea snorted.

And his snort was a bit more snotty then he expected. Urgh. ] I'm complete. I shouldn't have allergies.

Mm. Since it's not as travelled… perhaps they've ended up there.

[…that is kind of gross. he'll grab another handkerchief to help.]. It seems your body thinks otherwise, though… Let's speak to the medics.

It took you a lot to even find out there were missing allies. If they're just that close, then - wouldn't they be found by now?

Fine. If you insist. [ huff huff he stands up. ]

It might be there's something we've overlooked- or that we can only find by being there.

Think about it this way- if we find the right medicine, you can pat them and won't have to sneeze. [he reaches out for Lahabrea's hand, to squeeze it.]

...petting them. [ He said, quietly, an ear twitching. ] Shall we... go to the medics, then?

If you wished to. [it's cute?? he reaches out to touch.]. Yes. his way.

[ He follows, huffing. ] It could still curse us, you know. [ ??? ] Pixies are cruel beings. All the Fair Folk are.

The carbuncle? …is that why you're worried? [That'd explain a few things…] Ah. Then, we'll have to do our best to be careful.

The Fair Folk, you see, have aspects of Creation. But they have no morals. A cruel mix.

…so they might not have a care for whatever they make does. I see. Perhaps we'd best ask how to work around them before we leave.

Exactly. Honestly. I thought you Scions would have learned about... [ sniffle ] well, the fair folk. Perhaps the Exarch or Maiden has information.

They seem a little different from home. But… mm, I think that's a good idea. I imagine if they don't know, we could ask them for a starting place.

Exactly. They have knowledge. Though I am loathe to admit it, I know little of this First. It wasn't my territory.

No- you were of the Source, correct? Then who was here?

Two worked together. Loghrif and Mitron - though they are gone now.

…ah, that's right. [The Warriors here had fought them, hadn't they…]. Did you get on with them?

[ A soft shrug. ] They were sundered. I tended not to like those who weren't complete. And yet... they were good men.

Even them…? I'm sorry to hear that. Do you miss them?

...I... do. But they fell so close to succeeding - this land was nearly taken to Calamity. We nearly got to recreate more.

Then- you regret it. But as this land stands right now… it seems like a very good place to me. Even with Il Mheg's flowers.

Wouldn't it be better if there was one single land? [ He asked, as they got close to the medics. ]

Hm? In what way? It doesn't seem that much simpler to rule a great swathe of land.
