[01-28 21:45:32] <Viollca> while we're waiting for the men

[01-28 21:45:39] <Taka> kay

[01-28 21:47:02] <Viollca> "Taka, I want to thank you for your help this afternoon. It was above and beyond, I really consider you a friend"

[01-28 21:48:09] * Taka blinks and lowers her ears in a Tren blush. "It was a pleasure..." she hesitates before completing the sentence, "Sik'is. you don't need to thank me"

[01-28 21:48:49] <Viollca> "Well I did anyway, so there!" She grins

[01-28 21:49:20] * Taka chuckles, then turns serious. "How are things with your people?"

[01-28 21:50:19] <Viollca> she takes a deep breath of the forest air. "They'll talk of this day for years to come. If we're lucky, we, or I, can talk them into coming to the capital city."

[01-28 21:51:01] <Viollca> she looks at you. "They are hurt, angry, and scared. Some of that will be directed at me, but I'm used to that. I just hope they listen."

[01-28 21:51:16] <Viollca> "How about you, are you ok?"

[01-28 21:52:06] * Taka nods. "They're good people, I think, and I can't blame them for being angry or scared...I would be too if a giant bear attacked." she shrugs. "I'll be fine. I just...I never had a

chance to say goodbye to Balcoram before today." she touches something under her tunic with one hand.

[01-28 21:53:42] <Viollca> "Balcoram? I'm, I'm sorry."

[01-28 21:55:08] * Taka smiles slightly. "He was a good friend. He died during the attack on Argent Manor...it's primarily thanks to him we have so much information on the enemies we face. And it is thanks to him that the Filth is dead."

[01-28 21:56:15] * Viollca is quiet.

[01-28 21:57:12] * Taka looks at her, ears slightly back and looking nervous. "That's what the roach was..." she draws out a rather pretty shell on a leather thong. "This killed it."

[01-28 21:58:14] <Viollca> "That is, you, Taka that is wonderful. Thank you."

[01-28 21:58:23] <Viollca> pause. "Was it, his?"

[01-28 21:59:24] * Taka nods. "He gave it to me shortly before he died." she looks at it. "I'd never taken it back out until today. It's a charm of cleansing, of purification."

[01-28 22:00:41] * Viollca starts to tear up. "Gemile...." "Tell me more about him,"

[01-28 22:00:43] <Viollca> and so on

[01-28 22:00:54] <Taka> yeah.

[01-28 22:01:19] * Taka tells what little she knows and can remember, and seems to become more at peace as she does so.

[01-28 22:03:33] * Viollca listens intently

[01-28 22:06:07] * Taka will, at some point in all this, make the comment that Viollca's become almost like a sister to her, in a rather grateful but hoping she's not offending voice.

[01-28 22:06:07] <Taka> probably in a "if I had a sister, I'd like it if she were like you" way.

[01-28 22:07:12] * Viollca too. She smiles.

[01-28 22:07:33] <Viollca> "I have a sister."

[01-28 22:07:48] <Viollca> She starts telling you about Dritta.

[01-28 22:07:56] * Taka grins and listens.
