[Forest, Ice Gardens]
A riot of exuberant iceblossoms runs rampant over a lattice-work of stone, their defiant and delicate blooms hanging in great bouquets.  In the center of the hardy profusion, a rare moon-flower lifts its single, massive flower to the skies, as if seeking blessings from the sky.  Small icicles hang from the petals like lace.  The exterior of the garden is bounded by a rock wall, ringed by small, well-tended cottages.  You also see a dark ironwood lodge, an ivy-covered mahogany wood chalet, a black-trimmed cherrywood domicile, a stately polished marble tower and a hand-fitted riverstone chateau.
Obvious paths: east
Elaerina, Chanari, Svardin, Shonison, Kessek, Bloncissa, Perigourd, Missoni, Moswell, Ichiko and Zenevieva followed.

You exclaim, "And here we are!"

Elaerina smiles.

Bloncissa giggles.

Missoni adopts an agreeable expression.

Shonison sits down.

You say, "Please all take a seat."

Bloncissa gazes in wonder at her surroundings.

Elaerina sits down.

Kessek sits down.

Missoni removes a small wicker basket from in her rabbit fur cape.

Chanari sits down.

Bloncissa sashays about in a circle with her head thrown back and arms wide.

You say, "Our lecturer this eve is Missoni."

Bloncissa cheerfully exclaims, "Pretty!"

Missoni waves.

Ichiko sits down.

Chanari turns to Missoni and cheers!

You say, "She is going to talk to us all about Aeia."

Zenevieva smiles.

Bloncissa sits down.

Bloncissa squirms.

You say, "Please give her yer full attention."

Kessek rests his hands on his knees and breathes deep to relax.

Bloncissa turns to face Missoni.

Missoni exclaims, "There are warm drinks, just in case you are chilly!"

Missoni drops a small wicker basket.

Elaerina grins.

Kessek exclaims, "Ahh!"

You say, "And hold all comments and questions until she opens the floor to them."

Bloncissa grins at Missoni.

You smile.

Kessek rummages through a small wicker basket.

Missoni removes a small wicker basket from in her rabbit fur cape.

Zenevieva sits down.

Moswell removes a mug of hot buttered rum from in his black cloak.

You nod to Missoni.

Missoni drops a small wicker basket.

Missoni adopts an agreeable expression.

Kessek removes a cup of rich roasted coffee from in a small wicker basket.

(Iscikella moves to the  back of the crowd.)

Moswell takes a drink from his hot buttered rum.

Missoni removes a richly hued mulberry candle from in her rabbit fur cape.

Missoni removes a clam shell candle holder from in her rabbit fur cape.

Elaerina removes a flagon of strong apple cider from in a small wicker basket.

Missoni drops a clam shell candle holder.

You sit down.

Missoni carefully places her mulberry candle on a clam shell candle holder.

Kessek takes a drink from his rich roasted coffee.

Missoni lights the mulberry candle, which flickers and begins to burn.

Elaerina takes a drink from her strong apple cider.

Kessek rests his hands on his knees and breathes deep to relax.

Missoni removes a fluffy black rabbit fur blanket from in her rabbit fur cape.

Speaking cheerfully to her raving lunatic doll, Bloncissa exclaims, "Ve are going to hear stories about Aeia!"

Missoni drops a fluffy black rabbit fur blanket.

The dim aura fades from around Moswell.

(Missoni spreads the blanket over the snow, kneeling upon the edge to smooth out the wrinkles before taking a seat at the center and arranging her skirts carefully around her.)

Bloncissa gives her raving lunatic doll a warm hug.

Bloncissa turns to face Missoni.

Bloncissa clasps her arms around her knees and rocks back and forth.

Missoni sits down.

You smile at Missoni.

The mulberry candle flickers softly, casting a warm light throughout the area.

(Missoni brings the candle closer to her, the flame illuminating her face in the waning evening light.)

Chanari folds her hands in her lap.

Missoni says, "Thank you all ever so much for coming."

Missoni steeples her fingers in her lap, quietly observing her surroundings.

Missoni smiles cheerfully as she scans the faces of those assembled, wiggling her nose at those she knows and nodding slightly to those she doesn't recognize.

Chanari grins.

You grin.

Kessek smiles at Missoni.

Missoni says, "I am Missoni Blakmagic-Sabretache, Faendryl Witch, Headmistress of Rone Academy, and follower of Aeia."

Missoni says, "Forget, at this point, all of the silly names and titles and let's focus on the Goddess Herself, Aeia."

Missoni lightly brushes her fingers over her white lily symbol in a reverent gesture.

Missoni says, "Not much is known of her background, but I believe that she touches the world around us so extensively that little needs to be known."

(Missoni leans to the right, raking the cold snow that lies along the edge of her blanket with her fingertips.)

Missoni says, "So, I will tell you what I know as well as what I believe."

Missoni says, "Aeia is of neither Lornon nor Liabo.  She is the mother of the earth and a patroness of herbs and gardens."

Missoni says, "That is perhaps why many of the other followers I know of--"

Missoni wryly says, "All four of them."

Elaerina grins.

Kessek chuckles.

Chanari appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Missoni says, "--are empaths."

Kessek blinks.

Missoni exclaims, "Her followers are few, but I must say that I've never met a disagreeable one!"

Missoni winks.

You smile quietly to yourself.

Missoni says, "I suppose that can be attributed to the fact that she's mostly viewed as a local goddess of River's Rest."

Missoni shakes her head, totally at a loss.

Missoni says, "She does not receive much recognition outside the small town, though there are two shrines dedicated to her there."

Missoni removes a small white suede journal from in her rabbit fur cape.

You nod to Missoni.

 (Missoni turns the journal outward, holding it before her at arms' length and sweeping it in a slow arc so all assembled can see two watercolor scenes painted on the facing pages.)

Missoni says, "The first shrine is located in the cleric's guild near the Town Commons."

(Missoni brushes her fingers lightly over the first scene, a garden shrine cloaked in shades of deep verdant.  The small retreat is enshrouded by willows all around, while vines of ivy twine around their bases.  Flowers of every hue imaginable blossom here and there, adding a splash of vibrant color to the lush green which is so prominent in the painting.  Standing at one end, a wooden statue of a woman with benevolent eyes gazes down kindly, and at her feet lies a simple wooden altar, its surface completely covered by flourishing white lilies.)

Missoni says, "The second is in the Citidel Gardens, cared for by a charming ghostly gardener."

Elaerina smiles at Missoni.

(Missoni brushes her fingers lightly over the second scene.  Lined with tile, a large pool rests in the center of the citadel's garden.  A statue carved in the likeness of Aeia stands in the middle of the pool.  The water that feeds the pool seeps forth from the base of the statue.)

Missoni says, "But many herbmistresses tread this realm, granting their care.  Aeia is far more."

Missoni smiles brightly as her fingers graze the petals of a single moon-flower growing among the plethora of ice blossoms.

You gaze with interest at a rare moon-flower.

Missoni says, "All life begins with her, and all life is sustained by her care."  She spreads her arms widely and turns her palms upward and an all-encompassing gesture before continuing, "Beauty, ugliness, pain, and bliss.  All are her creations."

A richly hued mulberry candle flickers a moment and nearly goes out, then its flame springs to life again, burning merrily.

Missoni furrows her brow.

Missoni confusedly asks, "What do we do with that?  Why would our mother endow us with something that could hurt us?"

(Missoni surveys those gathered, meeting the eyes of each person in turn as her eyebrow quirks in askance.)

Missoni asks, "How many of you have had children?"

Missoni smiles slightly

Zenevieva shakes her head.

Missoni amusedly says, "I certainly have not."

Elaerina shakes her head.

Shonison shakes his head.

Kessek chuckles.

Kessek shakes his head.

You raise your hand.

Missoni beams happily at you!

Missoni says, "Well, at least we have one mother."

You nod to Missoni.

You chuckle.

Missoni says, "I do remember something my own mother told me."  She briefly touches the heel of her hand to the center of her forehead, her third eye.  "Mother was a seer."

Ichiko shakes her head.

Missoni says, "Despite all her talents, she refused to scry into my future.  Her eyes would never gaze upon the crystal with the intention of seeing that which might ail me."

Missoni exclaims, "She didn't want to protect her daughter!"

Missoni says, "For a while I thought she might want to do me in."

Missoni smirks.

Zenevieva blinks.

Chanari grins.

Missoni dismissively says, "But I was just being silly."

Kessek ponders.

Missoni says, "So one night, as we gathered moonflowers from the garden ."

Missoni removes a moonflower from in her rabbit fur cape.

(Missoni touches the pale bloom to her lips, sighing wistfully at the vivid memory.)

Missoni says, "I asked her why, if she had the chance to foresee all the tragedies that would befall her daughter, she did not take the opportunity."

Missoni says, "She said .."

Missoni clears her throat.

Missoni gravely says, "The real tragedy is to grow up sheltered from the lessons life's pains can bring."

Missoni puts on a moonflower.

Bloncissa smiles softly.

You nod.

Missoni says, "It is with that in mind that Aeia releases us into her creation--among beauty that sometimes seems base and cruel."

You say, "Children have to find their own way."

You nod.

Ichiko nods.

Kessek agrees with you.

Missoni says, "The Mother arms us with love then sets us free to explore, to learn, to refine our souls."

Missoni folds her hands in her lap.

Missoni exclaims, "But there is still one matter to be cleared up!"

Missoni confusedly asks, "What is a Faendryl doing claiming faith to a goddess?"

You cock your head at Missoni.

Kessek grins.

Bloncissa giggles.

You flash a wide grin.

(Missoni fingers the edge of her cape thoughtfully, her forefinger idly twining one of its ermine tassels.)

Missoni teasingly says, "I haven't figured it out, so have a nice evening."

Missoni attempts to hum a merry little tune.

Bloncissa giggles.

Chanari grins.

Ichiko giggles.

Kessek chuckles.

Elaerina grins.

Zenevieva gazes up into the heavens.

Missoni says, "I do know that it started, as most of my brilliant ideas do, while I was shopping."

Chanari appears to be trying hard not to grin.

Missoni smiles rakishly.

Bloncissa giggles at Missoni!

Missoni says, "There I was, browsing wares with Miss Chanari, when we stumbled upon a book."

Missoni winks at Chanari.

Speaking in broken common, Chanari exclaims, "THE book!"

Missoni says, "Excuse me--THE book."

Moswell says, "Do you want to know why the few Aeia followers you met were empath's Aiea was the first Empath her skils give to her by Luminus and Imaera."

Chanari giggles.

Kessek ponders.

Missoni smiles at Moswell.

Missoni exclaims, "I haven't read that, but I should like to!"

You grin.

Bloncissa smiles at Moswell.

Missoni says, "Anyay, we are avid readers, the both of us, and decided to buy THE book, as it looked interesting."

You nod to Missoni.

Moswell says, "Try the Becon hall Archives."

Moswell says, "Sarahoff has wrote a document on her."

Missoni says, "Oh I for sure will."

Missoni removes a celadon lily-enamelled book from in her rabbit fur cape.

Missoni brushes her fingers lightly against her lily-enamelled book.

Bloncissa cheerfully says, "Oooh."

Bloncissa squirms.

Missoni exclaims, "For now, we will focus on this particular book!"

You nod to Missoni.

Moswell takes a drink from his hot buttered rum.

(Missoni balances her book upright to give those assembled a better look, the bottom edge resting on her right knee.  A delicately carved lily blossom of flawless white chalcedony has been set into the pale green ora cover.  Glimmering mother-of-pearl edges each petal, and more mother-of-pearl inlay has been used for the graceful script flowing across the ora beneath the chalcedony lily.  The inlaid lettering reads, "Aeia, Lady of the World: The Mother Through the Eyes of Her Children, by Kylaeh Shaidwyn and Eairus Drakonen".  The rest of the smooth celadon ora is free of any adornment except for its own polished gleam.)

Kessek says, "That musta cost a pretty silver."

Kessek grins.

Missoni says, "Oh it is priceless."

Missoni says, "Neither of Miss Chanari nor I knew those who wrote it, but what it spoke of resonated with us.  I am going to read a short passage that grabbed my attention."

You smile.

Missoni opens her lily-enamelled book.

(Missoni turns to a marked page, gnawing thoughtfully on her lip as her eyes skim for a passage.)

Missoni gazes thoughtfully at her lily-enamelled book.

Missoni takes a deep breath.

Missoni recites:
    "Like a Mother always is to her Child...wrapped in beauty, full of grace...the hand that comforts, the voice that guides...the reason for a heartbeat, the essence of the world."

Missoni recites:
    "With a voice so soft, we heard Her words, Her whispers and they opened our eyes to the flows of mana about us, within us, joining us to every living thing.  There was a heartbeat.  It echoed.  And we knew.  Within each of us the Mother dwells, as surely as we live and breathe, and it is Her spirit within the very earth that makes all things possible."

Missoni gently closes her lily-enamelled book, taking care with its pages.

(Missoni rests her book across her lap, her hands clasped along its gleaming spine.)

Missoni says, "And so we decided to go to River's Rest to see Aeia's shrines and to dedicate ourselves to her."

You cock your head at Missoni.

Missoni says, "But I have never felt quite like a worshipper."

Missoni shakes her head.

Missoni thoughtfully says, "Maybe that can really be attributed to my blood."

Kessek says, "I feel that she does not require the worship most others would."

Missoni says, "Rather, I felt that recognition of Aeia was a natural extension of my love for everything around me."

Chanari looks lost in thought.

Missoni says, "The Mother encourages curiousity--encourages knowing everything that can be known about her creation."

A faint, flickering light emanates from a richly hued mulberry candle, warming the room with its glow.

(Missoni seems entranced by the candle's flame, lost in thought for a few moments.)

Missoni says, "It's not so much a worship as it is a homecoming."

You smile at Missoni.

Missoni flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.

Missoni asks, "Are there any questions?"

Kessek raises his hand.

Missoni nods to Kessek.

Missoni put a small white suede journal in her rabbit fur cape.

Kessek says, "I believe that the Mother would prefer us to live our lives in the natural path, to honor and protect our world, rather than kneeling and praying at an altar every day."

Missoni removes a forget-me-not blossom painted teacup from in her rabbit fur cape.

Kessek says, "But anyhow, my question..."

Kessek coughs.

Missoni agrees with Kessek.

You grin at Kessek.

Kessek asks, "One thing that drew me to the Mother, was that my race has quite a bit to do with honoring her. Would you agree with the fact, that Aeia is the patroness of Humans, just as Oleani is the patroness of the Halflings?"

Missoni ponders.

Missoni says, "Boy is that a dangerous question."

Missoni grins.

Kessek chuckles.

Kessek says, "I mean nothing by it of course, I read it somewhere."

Kessek grins.

You chuckle at Missoni.

Missoni says, "I don't think a Mother would feel any special affinity towards a certain race."

Kessek nods.

Missoni says, "I do know that she often appears in Human form."

Bloncissa cheerfully asks, "Vould not ve all be her children since ve all live on her earth vith her plants and her creations?"

Kessek ponders.

Kessek says, "That's a good point."

Chanari nods to Bloncissa.

Missoni says, "But that may be because the locale at which her followers are centered is a city heavily populated by humans."

Missoni says, "I don't think she would want to go there and make anyone uncomfortable."

Elaerina raises her hand.

Missoni nods to Elaerina.

Elaerina smiles.

Kessek says, "That is true. Though it's heavily populated by Humans, other races do live there as well."

(Missoni warms her hands around her teacup for a moment.)

Missoni says, "Sometimes we are discriminated against even in the places we call home."

Elaerina asks, "Kin ye, perhaps, tell me anythin' o the ghostly gardener near her statue at the Citadel garden?"

Chanari giggles.

Missoni giggles.

Kessek says, "Aye. I cant imagine what you went through as a Faendryl, dedicating yourself to the Mother."

Missoni exclaims, "He's a lovely fellow, though rather silent!"

Elaerina smiles at Missoni.

Kessek grins.

Moswell says, "The ghostly gardener was Aiea's Lover who chose to remain even after death to tend the garden."

Kessek says, "Even in death, does he care to tend to the world."

Kessek smiles.

Speaking to Elaerina, Missoni says, "Really, he just floats about tending plants day and night.  I think he was a very dedicated follower."

Kessek grins at Perigourd.

Elaerina smiles.

You say, "Maybe he misses his plants even in death."

You say, "So had to come back to tend them."

You grin.

Bloncissa giggles.

Kessek says, "That gardener was actually the sole reason I chose not to associate myself with Voln's order."

Kessek grins.

You turn to face Kessek.

You ask, "Oh?"

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Kessek.

Kessek nods.

Kessek folds his arms over his chest.

Missoni smiles at Kessek.

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Elaerina says, "Ah, he does nae spark in me the need tae release him."

Missoni says, "I believe Undead are kept against their will."

Kessek says, "If I did join, my duties would dictate for me to release him."

Missoni says, "He is just a content soul."

Kessek says, "Which of course, would not happen."

Kessek winks.

Ichiko stretches.

Bloncissa smiles softly.

You nod to Elaerina.

Elaerina says, "Voln doesnae urge me tae release that soul."

Elaerina says, "I have asked."

Kessek grins.

Elaerina grins.

Kessek nods.

Kessek chuckles.

You grin at Elaerina.

Perigourd scratches at his beard.

You ask, "More questions, folks?"

Missoni takes a drink from her blossom painted teacup.

Kessek scratches his chin.

Missoni casually observes her surroundings.

Moswell asks, "Does anyone know if the Lady in the Garden of life is Aiea? or some other goddess?"

Missoni asks, "Where is the Garden of Life?"

(Kessek leans casually against a wicker basket and says, "What a name.")

Moswell says, "When you buy a deed at River's rest your drop gems in a pool after you have droped enough of em you are transported to the garden of life."

Moswell says, "There you see a one armed man and a Woman."

Kessek scratches his chin.

Missoni says, "The woman may be Imaera."

Kessek says, "The one armed man sounds like Eonak."

Missoni says, "I believe she's often seen with Eonak."

Missoni peers quizzically at Perigourd.

Perigourd says, "Yes, it does sound like Imaera."

You say, "Sounds like Eonak and Imaera, aye."

Perigourd says, "She is married to Eonake who has but one arm."

Moswell says, "You plant a seed when you do she says as you have honored this garden so shall I pray for you to my lady."

Perigourd says, "Unless you count the veil iron one he substituted it for."

Perigourd says, "She also is the goddess of life so it sounds fitting to her."

You say, "Well, Imaera is rather fond of Nature too ye know."

You grin.

Kessek chuckles.

Missoni agrees with you.

Perigourd says, "She's fond of many things."

Perigourd nods to you.

Kessek agrees with Perigourd.

You nod to Perigourd.

Ichiko smiles.

Missoni says, "There is a school of thought that says Aeia and Imaera are just two names for the same goddess."

You rub your chin thoughtfully.

Kessek says, "If what Moswell said was true, then Imaera and Aeia do have a very close connection."

You say, "Very possible."

Kessek shakes his head.

Kessek says, "I personally dont believe that."

Kessek grins.

Bloncissa nods to Kessek.

Speaking to Kessek, Missoni says, "Me either."

Perigourd begins chuckling at Missoni!

Speaking cheerfully to Kessek, Bloncissa says, "It is one of the reasons vhy I feel so drawn to Aeia. I love my Mommy, and my family are Sylvans who vorship Imaera."

Missoni says, "Imaera, as Peri tells me over and over and at great length..."

Perigourd attempts to hum a merry little tune.

Missoni gazes up into the heavens.

You grin at Bloncissa.

Kessek smiles at Bloncissa.

Missoni says, "Has more to do with cycles than I think Aeia does."

Speaking to Bloncissa, Kessek says, "I do believe they are very closely related, though."

Bloncissa nods to Kessek.

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at Missoni.

Kessek says, "Though i'm not too sure about the Empath thing. If i'm not mistaken, Empaths are more known for their psychic abilities, rather than connection with nature."

You nod to Kessek.

You say, "Healing is a mental form of concentration, aye."

Speaking to Kessek, Missoni says, "May empaths are drawn by her affiliation with herbs, I think."

Moswell murmurs a simple, mystical chant...

Kessek nods.

Moswell gestures.
Some cactacae spine suddenly appears at your feet.

Kessek blinks.

Kessek says, "Ah, I forgot about that..."

Moswell says, "That's how we are connect with herbs."

Kessek chuckles.

Kessek idly scratches himself on the neck.

You chuckle at Moswell.

Kessek grins at Moswell.

Missoni wiggles her nose at some cactacae spine.

Perigourd leans softly against Missoni.

You gaze with interest at a rare moon-flower.
The flower is as lovely as it is rare.  The edge of its sculpted petals are dagged in a delicate fleur-de-lis pattern, and its silvery-mauve color resembles the snow on a moon-lit night.

Iscikella smiles softly.

Perigourd begins chuckling at Missoni!

Perigourd says, "No dear."

Kessek says, "Throws my whole theory out the window."

Perigourd smiles at Missoni.

Kessek chuckles.

Missoni flushes slightly, some color reaching her cheeks.

Speaking cheerfully to Kessek, Bloncissa says, "All the empaths I know are very vell versed on herbs, and are able to make them grow in abundance."

Speaking to Bloncissa, Kessek says, "Aye I noticed."

Kessek breaks out in a silly grin.

You say, "But to heal, ye must center yer concentration."

You say, "Why I am partial to Lumnis."

You wink.

Bloncissa smiles at you.

Kessek grins at you.

Perigourd says, "I do believe healing is one of Imaera's spheres as well."

Perigourd looks thoughtfully at you.

Kessek says, "Lumnis is a very respectable goddess."

Missoni asks, "Who doesn't need a healer?"

Bloncissa giggles.

Speaking to Kessek, you say, "I certainly think so."

Kessek chuckles.

You chuckle.

You ask, "Any further questions for Missoni?"

Perigourd asks, "Do they have to be related to Aeia?"

Perigourd cocks his head at you.

Chanari grins at Perigourd.

Elaerina smiles.

Missoni takes a drink from her blossom painted teacup.

You say, "Well, that's up to Missoni."

You chuckle at Perigourd.

Perigourd chuckles.

You say, "Is her lecture."

Missoni stares at Perigourd.

Missoni patiently says, "No I suppose not."

Kessek scratches his chin.

Perigourd tickles Missoni into laughing.

Missoni squeals.

Perigourd says, "I think I'll save them for later."

Missoni clasps her hand over her mouth.

Perigourd nods.

You chuckle at Perigourd.

Missoni exclaims, "Then the answer is no!"

Elaerina grins.

You chuckle at Missoni.

Bloncissa giggles.

You ask, "So any further questions for Missoni on Aeia?"

You laugh softly, trying to hide your amusement.

Perigourd glances at Missoni, the corners of his mouth turning up in a slow, coy fashion.

Missoni giggles at you!

You grin at Kessek.

Missoni blushes a bright off-pink to the tips of her ears.

Missoni flutters her eyelashes at Perigourd.

Missoni gazes with interest at the teacup in her hand.

Missoni takes a drink from her blossom painted teacup.

You say, "If no further questions then, I will close the panel for the eve."

Kessek says, "None here. Missoni has taught me a great deal."

Bloncissa cheerfully asks, "It is okay to vorship her anyvhere, right? I vould not have to move to River's Rest to vorship her, vould I? Can't I honor her vith every step I take anyvhere?"

Kessek shakes his head.

You say, "Oh sorry."

Bloncissa peers quizzically at Missoni.

You nod to Bloncissa.

Chanari giggles.

Kessek says, "Aeia is everywhere around us."

Kessek smiles at Bloncissa.

You duck your head.

Speaking to Bloncissa, Missoni exclaims, "You can certainly worship her everywhere!"

Bloncissa beams!

Perigourd chuckles to himself.

Bloncissa claps her hands.

Speaking cheerfully to her raving lunatic doll, Bloncissa asks, "Hear that?"

Bloncissa glances at a wild-eyed raving lunatic doll and grins.

Moswell removes a mug of hot buttered rum from in his black cloak.

You grin at Bloncissa.

Bloncissa gives her raving lunatic doll a warm hug.

Moswell takes a drink from his hot buttered rum.

Speaking to Bloncissa, Missoni says, "I think we've worshiped her a little right here."

Kessek says, "Although, you'd probably need to go to River's Rest for an official commune, perhaps."

Ichiko smiles at Missoni.

Bloncissa nods.

Kessek says, "I'm not too familiar with the clerical side of things."

Moswell says, "Aye to hear her speak to you ."

Kessek scratches his chin.

Bloncissa cheerfully says, "Once I am old enough and Mommy says it is okay to go on a boat ride."

Bloncissa nods to Kessek.

Kessek smiles at Bloncissa.

You grin at Bloncissa.

Speaking to Bloncissa, Kessek says, "You dont have much to worry about. Knaydl is a pretty nice lady."

Speaking to Bloncissa, Missoni says, "If you like roach races, Muffy is a sure victory."

Kessek begins chuckling at Missoni!

Bloncissa giggles at Missoni!

You say, "Further questions?  On Aeia now."

You glance at Perigourd.

Speaking to Missoni, Kessek says, "No, no! Fang is the way to go."

Perigourd smirks at you!

You chuckle.

Kessek winks at Missoni.

Taking one finger, Bloncissa firmly pokes her raving lunatic doll in its stomach.  A rush of air comes from its mouth.

Missoni vigorously shakes her head.

Missoni glances at Perigourd.

Speaking to you, Perigourd says, "Spoil sport."

Missoni gives Perigourd a warm buss on the lips.

You chuckle at Perigourd.

Bloncissa giggles.

Missoni gives Perigourd a lingering kiss on the cheek.

You say, "Allright, if that concludes the questions, I will close the panel... non-prematurely I hope this time."

Elaerina smiles.

Missoni exclaims, "Thank you all!"
