It was very kind of Nys to mention her friends. It gave Jia a little hope, though fleeting, that they could be recovered. She hung her head a moment then looked back at him. "I thank you Lord Nys. Even if they are not recovered, I will do my best." she was about to walk away to do the things she had been assigned when she turned back with a smile flickering on her lips.<br/><br/>"You really think Jord likes me? I mean...he is kind to me and all...but does he really like me?" Hope shimmered in the tiny Faela's eyes. She really liked Jord. To think he might actually like her in return was enough to send squiggles of joy racing down her spine and making her wings flutter with excitement.<br/><br/>The cleric Sassy was busy getting her things together. She walked back to the Courtyard with a full backpack of supplies she felt might be needed. Bowing to the Blanqua she smiled. "I am ready, Lord Nys. The sooner we get going the sooner we can get to work on solving this problem."<br/><br/>She was dressed all in brown leather, with a cloak thrown over it with a hood that could shade her eyes. She carried a long staff. Her face was determined and she had great confidence in the party as they assembled.
