[Well, Haseo's not much of a snow person, but...what the heck, why not. She's outside today, wearing a heavy coat and looking very thoughtful while gazing up at the sky

Second level

[warriorscribe]

We had dragons here?

*Well, considering he's confined to one side of the city, it's entirely possible he just never met them. Anyway, that wasn't the concern here...*

Is it possible that you've never encountered them again? This place is large for so few people.

[bladedskies]

Yeah, we did. Talking ones. One of 'em helped me out during that mess a while ago.

[... She thinks about that.]

That's true, but the fact that nobody else seems to have heard from them really doesn't help.

[warriorscribe]

...That's true. I wonder if they've found a way to leave.

[bladedskies]

If they did, then why didn't they tell the rest of us?

[Thoughtful, now. Maybe they didn't go of their own free will...]

[warriorscribe]

Either they were the only ones they could reach, since not all of us are here often or at all... Or they weren't able to communicate about it.

[bladedskies]

Yeah, I'm starting to suspect that that's what happened.

[warriorscribe]

I hope they've truly gone home... *He wouldn't mind being taken at random. He knows he's meant to return. But if there's something far less pleasant going on...*

[bladedskies]

Yeah...me too.

[warriorscribe]

If only there was some way to find out.

*He wants to know. Not so he can hurry home; if time works strangely here then hurrying won't do him much good. But if the city's doing something unpleasant to the people who have disappeared, he, or worse, Armaros could be next. And he won't let that happen if he can help it.*
