Draiss was just finishing another session of the promised consultation with Sune, who had given him enough pointers that he could do without the coating of water, but without visiting her, it was nearly impossible to suppress the new ability completely, when he sensed the approaching group. "Another one? For crying out loud, that is the fourth group in three days, and the second today. Oh, hey its spoiled again. Now I wanna go meet them and beat them senseless."<br/><br/>He glanced around, glad that he wasn't at the current meeting of Reekesha and Keeshara, which would hopefully allow the Wife actually try and talk with her mother instead of storming off. Amaterasu was not around, not too surprising as he was outside and alone for a change, relaxing in the hotspring, and she apparently didn't care for showing off her body for anyone not divine. He sent out a questing thought, asking what he had done this time, and if she wanted to help him trounce a noble for the second time. He let her pick the place if she was coming with him, and if not, he would head to the second switchback of the trail up. It was good ground to meet a larger group, as it was right before a spot where the path thinned, and he could force them to come at him one at a time, unless they did something stupid like teleporting to the shrine, which should be possible, despite the higher risk of an error due to the still turbulent magic currents.<br/><br/>He was in his dragontaur night fury form, and reclining at the turn, able to easily see down the path, the group not too far from the first switchback, meaning they should be at him within ten minutes. He had his Sivridut, rather than the spear which he had returned to the armory, along with the artifacts he had gotten from the Cave, having finally gotten the boots repaired, but the shield was still needing work before it looked like more than scrap metal.
