Sydon simply grinned at the dragon's replies. "In that case, might I suggest clearing some space in your schedule?" he said, with a somewhat barking laugh.<br/><br/>The group returned from hunting the Bandersnatch - the hardest part was finding it. Once they did, though, Cynthia, Sak'bas, and Amvarean charged it together, and slew the beast before it could react, ending its reign of terror.<br/><br/>Within the next couple of weeks, Sydon's prophecy came true - apparently, word spread that Devaguea was expecting the women to approach, and they began to take advantage of that. In fact, despite the construction of the courthouse to handle trials, his court was soon<em>flooded</em>by eligible young women (and some men), all of whom had apparently heard through the grapevine (or Sydon getting drunk) that the king wanted a mate to pursue<em>him.</em>In the process, he'd also receive advances from Anke, Cynthia, Korima (more than usual), some light flirting from Talia, and even hear a bit of interest from Sak'bas, though she seemed more flustered by all the other attention he was suddenly getting. Amvarean seemed amused, and Sena... it was hard to tell if she even noticed.
