Rima Omarah
Shadow Guild
Lesonia, Raya (en route to meeting between Shadow and Wind guilds)

"You know, I still don't get how you haven't mastered Shadow Travel yet."

"So you keep mentioning."

"I mean, it's one of the most basic forms of shadow magic."

"As you have told me before."

"Literally, every other member of the shadow guild that has been here the same time as you or longer can use it successfully. Even some of those who haven't been here as long can!"

"Mhm. Please inform me of how much of a failure I am to the Shadow Guild."

"I mean, it just makes no sense! You're really good at all the other magic, so why not shadow travel?"

"I don't know. Why can't you learn when to shut up?"

Rima knew Kilyni wasn't going to be shutting up anytime soon, so at this point she just stopped listening and rattled off the robot phrases she had adopted around the Dunmer. By now Rima already knew the lecture word for word. For some reason or another, Rima had never been able to completely master shadow travel. She could do it if someone was traveling with her, so usually Kilyni had to go with Rima any time she wanted to shadow travel. And while Rima had nothing against Kilyni, since the Dunmer had been the one to introduce Rima to shadow magic, Rima had grown very tired very quickly of the constant lecture that came with the travel. So instead of listening, Rima was running her agenda through her head.

She had just gotten back from a mission when they had pulled her aside for this meeting. Rima had not really wanted to attend but she was required to for some reason or another. Rima had been so annoyed at the time that she hadn't really listened to the whole speech, but she remembered something being mentioned about diversity. Either way, it didn't matter. Rima was here whether she liked it or not.

The group of shadow guild members walked in absolute silence (other than Kilyni) towards the warehouse where the guild's chapter currently resides. You could always tell the difference between shadow guild members and visitors because members always entered through the back while visitors went through the front. Common courtesy or something. Maybe they just didn't know any better. Thus, Rima and her group traveled to the back of the warehouse, and after uttering the words of secrecy required to enter, the group was allowed in.

Upon entry, Rima quickly noticed that their arrival was early to the meeting. So be it. They would have to help with preparations. As Rima helped with the last minute finishing touches, she overheard conversations between the local chapter members. The Wind Guild was visiting today, and from the looks of it, High Speaker Lightthroat Lurel had joined the party as well. How interesting. Rima made a mental note to watch the High Speaker very closely. Currently the motives of the woman were unknown, but it was suspected it was just a means of making peace. Rima didn't doubt this, but she still felt it best to watch the High Speaker, just in case.

Delbin Kawa
Water Guild
Goldsand City, Dyrin (awaiting meeting of partner for a mission)
Affected RPers: @Gaster

Delbin rolled a silver ball back and forth between his hands on the table in front of him. He was currently seated in a tavern, the designated meeting place for his partner in the upcoming mission. It was nothing more than a scouting mission, from what Delbin had gathered. But that raised too many questions for Delbin. He could scout quite easily on his own. His practiced charisma made him look anything but suspicious to potential enemies. Yet, his guild had insisted on sending someone from the shadow guild with him. Someone big. Someone strong. Delbin didn't think he was necessary, but then again, the tumors of Slven Forest were unsettling. Plus, maybe the guy was cute or something. Couldn't hurt to have him tag along.

So Delbin had ordered a glass of water to bide the time and then began to busy himself with his shiny things that he had collected since his arrival here. Currently, spread out around the table, Delbin had a fair amount of shiny items. He had the silver ball he was playing with, a few nails from ships, what looked to be the needle from a compass, a few chunks of crystals that had picked up near a jewel dealer, what looked to be the casing for a small looking glass, and a small bronze ring that looked to be made to hold a jewel but was not currently holding one. Delbin smiled at his collection. So many shiny things! He couldn't wait to take these back to his collection. These would make his collection glitter like never before! Then again, Delbin always thought that whenever he got knew shiny things, but it wasn't entirely untrue. Delbin looked up as his waitress arrived with his water. Delbin thanked the lady and began to drink his water. Ah it was so refreshing to have fresh water again. Delbin couldn't go too long without it because his body required it to survive. He hated that the water guild bases had to all be in the sea. He also felt so confined in those places. So Delbin enjoyed when he could get out and down a glass of fresh water.
