Blondie was better off than Roselyn's mount, with Blondie seeming to be more at ease with the closeness of a threat. Nevertheless, as they made their way around the site Tehr and Rosalyn were soon back along the way to the deeper woods.<br/><br/>The ride forth continued in relative silence, but eventually the path ahead was too rough for a horse, and required getting out of the saddle and on foot. The walk did not seem to bother Rosalyn at least, though the leather pants seemed to darken a shade further once they were wet. She had looked tempted to just take them off and continuing without for a while, but seemed to eventually decide to just go with it. The rest of the walk brought them on forth to the edge of the clearing they'd headed for.<br/><br/>The deeper section of the woods alive with the bird calls in the trees above, and the flutter of small wings in the air as little insects buzzed about, but on crossing the edge of the clearing there was a silence, a serenity of a sort, and a seemingly untouched set of rich green grass. Resting back there amidst the clearing was a gathering of four figures, one of them a familiar dryad woman with her warm bosom used as pillowing by the second guest of the clearing. A pixie with long thin wings lay back along the twin mounds seeming fast asleep, hardly taller than a common housecat and wearing about as much.<br/><br/>The two other figures were a touch more dangerous perhaps, given one of them was a beautiful blonde woman with fair skin and rosy lips, and a look of someone who might just blind a lesser man with a glance. Thankfully unlike the first two, she was glad in a modest white summer dress hanging off her figure, a smile on her lips, seated a bit back talking with the last figure present. This was a figure that seemed to notice both Tehr and Rosalyn first, looking up at them.<br/><br/>Rosalyn seemed to actually go pale at the sight of the gathering, while the lady with green skin and clothes formed by surroundings from moss to leaves and even a couple of flowers. Her figure was covered in a manner that both tempted and yet covered her enough that she would not have made the nobles in queen's court faint, although they would have likely been scandalized. Nevertheless, her green skin and floral dress were secondary to the paleness of her eyes, and yet the curiosity in her expression as she gazed upon the two of them, waiting patiently.<br/><br/><strong>"Oh! I see a familiar face has chosen to return! I must admit I had not sensed your presence in the surroundings, but I admit my mind has been on... other matters."</strong>The dryad woman smiled as she sat up on the grass, a lone hand raised to help keep the sleeping pixie in place atop her bosom, providing her with one bit of cover, legs crossed further south.<strong>"You are welcome here as long as you bring no harm to the woods, though the timing is a tad risky. We've unfortunately had the displeasure of having a few young owlbears appear, and even a small group of goblins about. Which is why the ladies of the woods have gathered here today, though you found us after our earlier talks. "</strong><br/><br/>Rosalyn was still pale and quiet, looking at Tehr and then at the gathering a tad nervously, her eyes seeming to alternate between the two more clothed figures more than the dryad but still, Tehr too could feel some rather powerful magic around the place. It seemed the entire clearing had been warded in some fashion to offer protection to those within it, and seemed to calm the ones there as well seeing as they had shown little reaction to their arrival.
