[Game Thread] Lord Windos’ PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Pokekitty2]

Spoiler

Gargyph doesn't acknowledge you any further, but you get the sense that is out of them 'saying everything that needed to be said' . 

Getting down is easy enough, really: One Sword Dance from Sir Later, and he's picking you up and setting you down on the ground safe and sound, giving you a bow as he did so. Ever reliable, your loyal friend is! Murkrow flaps on down at this point, still somewhat annoyed but having calmed down.

"Hmrpt. Prove and earnt my Insight most Keen, yet Keen you were to maketh fool and fouled of me. Still, Yet, Perhaps I should have double checked, before I went to Inspect that Which Fakes Life Stillness and Stone Life. Mmm...yes, yes..."

...Uh, was that an apology, or a way to side step their fault in things? You decide!

Aah, I hadn't wanted to use Sir to get down... geh, that's fine. As long as he's happy with it. (He does have Swords Dance? Cool, and noted.)

Sylvia gives Murkrow a long, hard look.
"Murkrow... a few things.
"First, you actually didn't quite solve the riddle... Though that may have been my fault. I wasn't quite specific enough, I think.
"Second, yes, I think a double-check was necessary. Personally, I observe more passively, so I must admit that disturbing them wasn't something that crossed my mind. You're curious - moreso than I - and I must keep that in mind.
"Third, you've got a stray feather there..."

Sir manages to keep a stoic image, but he's definitely in danger of laughing at the feather sticking up on Murkrow's forehead.

Murkrow gives Sylvia a long, cold look and the first two points. With a hmmph, they seem to accept them.
At the third point, they quickly smooth down the offending plumage and give Sylvia a disgruntled caw. Not in the mood to talk much, it seems.

>>Well. That didn’t quite go how I expected.
A small sigh from Sylvia.
>>What say you all we go find a treat? Some tea sounds nice.
Sir nods curtly, and slash seems excited. Murkrow, begrudgingly, agrees.
>>That coffee shop the Gargryph mentioned sounded interesting. Let’s see if we can find that.


By the time the psychic feline and her entourage arrive at the shop (hopefully avoiding any extra funny business along the way), it’s nearly noon. The shop itself has a quaint storefront, with a boldly declared and fully committed-to theme: Foxes and ‘Phants.
>>This should be interesting.
Sylvia enters, her ‘mons following close behind. She takes a quick glance at the menu, then hops onto the counter.
>>Good morning. If I could have four drinks,
she says to the barista,
>>A Persim Berry Tea for me, and… three coffees; something strengthening, something chilled, and something dark.
