Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
First topic message reminder :
Heny stood there and listened as the two spoke, her heart beat rising. She had visited him a couple of times but found it too painful with eveything going on.

Sawna smiled and reached over to touch Ellie's forehead, closing her eyes and taking the pain away then removing her hand. "How's that?"

Ellie gasped as the horrible throbbing in her brain faded away. Suddenly she could actually think again, whoa! And the lights didn't seem so bright any more. "Wow, Sawna. You're a miracle worker!" She said delightedly. She looked at the money Sawna had brought back, "It's okay, you can totally keep the change."

Sawna chuckled and shook her head. "If you insist, but I heal my friends for free." She said then looked to Amity. "A hangover is painful to organics, sound and light can make them feel sick and off-balance."

Web looked at Tala oddly, then nodded slowly. "that's quite a sense of smell you have there."
Kay got up to fetch another plate of food, which he set in front of his brother. <eat.> He signed.
Web chuckled lightly. "Still fussing over me huh? Some things never change."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Ellie waved a hand vaguely at Sawna, "Nah friend, when you can magically cure hangovers, you get paid extra." She nodded at Sawna's explanation, and told Amity, "Hangovers are THE worst."
~~
"Smell is one of the primary senses of my species," Tala explained. She finished her food and picked up the tray to take to the counter. "Your brother is concerned for your health! This is most excellent."

Amity nodded slowly. "It stikes me as remarkably foolish to poison your bodies with narcotics but... the Aketi do it as well." He shook his head. "I don't recall any.. hang.. overs though. Their leaves wilt a little and they're not so active but I don't recall any complaining of sound hurting... " He shrugged. "Curious. "

Web smiled softly. "He's a good little brother." He nodded to Kay and started to eat. "May I ask what species you are?"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Ellie grinned. "It's so much fun while you're doing it, it's just later that you have regrets." She nodded, "Plants don't react to poisoning the way meat creatures do, they just kinda droop. Their nervous systems aren't at all like ours."

"I am a minotaur," Tala said, "You have not heard of us?"

Web shook his head. "Kevali is... extremely isolated. I may have heard it mentioned once, many years ago, but I honestly can't remember." He looked apologetic.

Amity nodded. "That makes sense. All this biology is extraordinarily confusing."

Tala twitched her ears. "Our homeworld is somewhat near Imperium space. We have been at war with them eight years now, by their measure."
~~
"Yeah, so confusing. I study plants, and even I don't get it," Ellie agreed. "You should learn to whisper, Amity, for next time someone has a hangover. Okay?"

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Web looked sympathetic. "I'm deeply sorry to hear that." He bowed his head. "i've tried to avoid Imperium politics as best I can, after Matt and I refused military service we... sort of made ourselves lesser citizens anyway, going back has never been overly high on my list of priorities."
Kay looked grim.
---
"Whisper?" Amity tilted his head. "You mean speak less loudly? I was not aware I was speaking in an overly loud manner, I appologise."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
"It is a most unsatisfactory situation," Tala said. "I am pleased you would take no part in it." She huffed softly, "It is a deep shame that the Imperium is of such strength and tenacity, but it is their way to be so. Perhaps when the Family is slaughtered and burned from their nests, we shall go and evacuate many of my kind."
~~
"I was shushing you, that means you were too loud for my brain," Ellie grumbled. She had no idea if shushing was even a concept the Aketi understood, hmm.

"They need evacuating?" Web frowned.
Kay quietly sipped his coffee.
---
"oh." Amity nodded, adding that to his system. "that's what you meant, I will remember that."

"We shall never win a war with the Imperium," Tala said. "They are many multitudes mightier than us. The only question is when they will decide to end the war."
~~
"So remember, the code noise is 'shhhhh'," Ellie said sagely. "Then you stay extra quiet until they seem like they aren't in pain any more."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Web winced. "That's awful. I'm sorry."
Kay nodded. [We'll find a way to save them.] He told Tala the same telepathically.
Web shook his head. "You're really going to go get involved in other people's wars? That sounds like a pretty good way to get yourselves killed."
[It's what's right.] Kay narrowed his eyes.
Web nodded grimly. "Sadly right isn't always achievable."
[You could help. You could teleport people out.]
Web frowned. "Much as I would love to help, getting involved directly would attract the ire of the Imperium and i'm afraid my people are even more woefully unable to defend themselves from an invading force. I can't put their safety at risk like that." He looked pained. "We survive because we're small and obscure and very few people know we even exist. I intend to keep it that way."
Kay nodded grimly. [Your first duty is to your people. ]
"I'm glad you understand." Web sighed and looked to Tala. "I wish you the best of luck saving your people. You're right, the Imperium are bloodthirsty and it's only a matter of time before they get tired of the stalemate. "
[It's far too early in the morning for politics.] Kay protested.
Web smiled weakly. "Forgive me brother, you know where I stand on the subject."
Kay nodded. Yeah, he knew far too well how Web felt about the Imperium. It was one of the many reasons he and their older sister didn't speak any more.

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Tala nodded at Web. "I understand why you must remain separate, your people are the most important thing to you, which is as it should be. I have no plans to ask anyone to fight, it is not a battle that can be won. Still, I shall certainly ask Vestia to travel there, for I believe she can take many thousand minotaurs to safety." She shrugged, "This shall not be a priority until the Family are dead."

"I keep hearing about this family. It sounds... quite concerning." Web glanced at Kay. He wondered why this was a fight his siblings had waded into, he worried about them. They seemed to want to do so much good and he feared it would just get them killed, or worse.
"Be careful..."
Kay nodded. [Always.]

"We are careful people," Tala said with a nod. She cow-smiled at Web, showing her bottom teeth, "I must go and exercise soon, it is important to not be lazy."

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Web looked bemused. "I agree, it's all too easy to fall into bad habits when surrounded by such luxury." He chuckled. "I see why you stay." He told Kay.
Kay shrugged and went to get himself more coffee.
[It's not as peaceful as you might think.]
"So I hear. Well, more I hear tiny fragments with no context." Web watched Kay soberly. "you really don't want to talk about it do you?"
Kay frowned. [Fine. But you're not going to like it.]
"I already assumed as much."
[Let me finish my coffee.]
Web nodded. "It's been a pleasure meeting you." He told Tala, er, had she told him her name? Bah. He couldn't recall. "Enjoy your exercise."
Kay smiled weakly to Tala and nodded.
Kay shrugged and went to get himself more coffee.

"It was excellent to meet you as well," Tala told Web happily. "I trust I will see you again!" She turned and trotted off.

"Of course." Web bowed his head to Tala again.
Goodbye Tala Kay waved half heartedly, mostly because with Tala gone that meant he had to talk to Web and explain stuff and he didn't really much want to eugh.
He sat down opposite his brother. [This is going to take a while...]

Re: Upon Vestia: Chapter TWENTY
Amity did a very good simulation of blinking, and fell silent, only the whir of his drone making any sound.
After a few moments he spoke almost inaudably I apologize, I cannot reduce the sounds the fans make.
