He was knocked off his feet and landed on his back heavily. "Ouch."<br/><br/>He blinked before carefully moving her to the side, and forcing himself to stand up, focused on the table and food on it almost to the exclusion of everything else. Once he sat down, and began preparing a plate, he looked back at Ama, exhaustion clear in his eyes. "Yes, that round. We tied. The Cave kicked us out as we got ready to put our best techs into the other. I ended up on the plane of shadow. Also, hungry, exhausted, and I am now spending a day a week in the Cave. Verdelet has been breaching the layers we were in for a lot longer, going by her equipment, and I am now behind her in that, as well as natural defenses. Better caster, but that was always a given."<br/><br/>He sent a thought to the companions and goddesses in the domain, requesting a group meeting in the common room in two minutes, drop what they were doing and be there or he would be asking them to permanently leave. His exhaustion and foul humor leaked into the message, hinting that something had happened. Not an emergency, but he was done letting them have a double standard, and was going to force it to a level one, he added. That done, he began to eat in earnest, cramming as much high energy food into him as he could before they arrived, as he was not going to be doing this meeting while trying to eat.
