[He nods at her assessment, conversing with her as he would any seasoned Warrior.]
You have the Right of it, I reckon, in that they do Gather. There is an Air of-- Preparation. When I have felt it before, it Came ahead of Battle, always.
I will not Keep my Summer for much longer.

[He grin, he returns after his own Fashion.]
No doubt we will show our Stubborn Natures, when that does come to pass.

[culbutiri]

No I do no be supposing you will be. We should be gathering too. If there is to be being a battle then we should be being prepared. I did be thinking of looking for food in the forest, since there do no be being any anywhere else.

[chevalier_mal_fet]

A sensible Idea. I will leave my Summer behind and accompany you, if I may. Two may fare more easily than one even on such a simple errand, now.

Tell me, if you will, what did you find on your World? For though I was not sent back, my Master has gone to his.

[culbutiri]

I would be being glad of your company. [She smiles and then frowns] It do be being all dead [No point in lying] Everything and everyone, even the stars do be being no more...

If you did no be going to your world where did you be going?

[chevalier_mal_fet]

[It Pains him to think of his Master Despairing and Alone. But he can do Nothing for the man by Grieving any more than he has done. Now is a Time for Action.
He readies himself to set off with her-- as his Powers are thoroughly his Own and no Glamour of the Tower, he calls Arondight to Hand, should he have need of her as they make their way forth.]

I am loath to Confess it, but having been slain twice in close succession, and having revived to find my Master Gone, I did Despair some little while and did wander this Place in my Spirit form like a Wraith, unseen by All. I saw much.
but was moved by little until Recently.

[culbutiri]

Oh... [So he had never truly been gone, just hidden.] I do be being sorry that he do be being gone... [Her words are sincere at least, grief is an emotion she understands even if she wishes it was otherwise] I do be being glad that you did be deciding to be coming out of hiding though.

[chevalier_mal_fet]

[He looks on her thoughtfully, though a thread of steel runs through his voice.]

It was not that I did Hide, though I have done so when Stealth was needed, but that I was not Myself, and was Lost. For we did have a Bond, my Master and I, which did hold my Mind apart form my Madness in some mean.
Indeed, I am Fortunate that upon his Absence, and the breaking of the Bond, I did not Lose myself completely. As you have seen before.

I thank you, Nesir Aeser, for your Kind words.
But I will see him once more, as you will see your Home Restored. We shall not Fail, whatever befall.

[culbutiri]

[Nesir nodded with a sad expression on her face] We will be trying, that do be being all we can be doing.

[She looked down she remembered. She had seen him in madness before and fought beside him] In my temple when I do be being a full warrior and no an accolyte I will be being joined to a priestess and we will be fighting together. If a priest or priestess do be dying first their warrior do often be going mad and be losing themselves... I do no be knowing if it do be being the same but that you do be being here and talking to be meaning to me that you do be being very strong.
