Aeryn surges back up to awareness, the sound of friendly voices helping to ease the way.  Her eyes flutter open as she coughs, then breathes in a slow deep breath.  "I'm back, Xen.  Good morning Morgan."  She stretches and rises smoothly.  She grins at the barbarian "She's not kidding, Xen.  Some of the druid sects have some interesting security protocols.  No, I'm serious, hear me out!  When you're in one of those opening rites sky clad it's kinda hard to sneak weapons of any sort into the sacred groves."  She winks at Morgan. "And the kiss of peace isn't a bad way to check the visitor for hidden intent.  Kissing is a very intimate act, you reveal quite a lot about yourself when you are doing it.  No, I'm not pulling your leg."<em>Not very hard, anyway,</em>she says to herself.
