<strong>Aeryn Sunlight<br/>In the Saurian canopy community<br/>Following Reliyian's lead</strong><br/><br/>Aeryn took for granted that they were being eavesdropped on, she expected it, it didn't bother her.  She trailed out after the mountain elf, studying everything, noti n any great detail, just assembling an overview of the display of daily life as lived by Saurian juveniles - she did not tiunkf of them as children, that would lead her to perceiving them through the lens of human children, and they emphatically were not.<br/><br/>In part, she was watching another scholar at work, comparing their techniques.  And watching Eshalu as well, although the ranger's concerns were far more practical, less academic.  Aeryn gave her lover's ahnd a squeeze, then stepped up beside Reliyian as they made ther slow way about the community.  She did n't want to call it a village... all juveniles, no adults, this was not a typical settlement even by Saurian standards.  A... border post perhaps?  Not enough information.  That didn't sto her from thinking hard, however.<br/><br/>"Reliyian... I don't know.  Perhaps they are part of the island... gestalt?  For want of a better word, that might do."  She mulled it over for a bit.  "There are, well, traveler's tales of giant social insect people.  Not ants exactly, but... considerable variation in physical form.  Perhaps several species coming together in a social unit - which would be damned unusual, but magic does odd things, especially if mortal mages are mucking about with things.  I've never seen such creatures, so drawing any analogies will be insanely dangerous.  but I wonder... the Spirit of the island...  Mortal eyes and ears would be invaluable for such a thing.  These Saurians may not be such, but something else might be."<br/><br/>Notebook in hand, apparently without a care in the world, she watched, listened, scribbled and sketched.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Investigation roll for gathering data  about the settlement:  Skill <strong>3</strong>, so modified roll is 4d3-5<br/>46050   Noone or Anyone   2013-04-29 07:16:28   At 2013-04-29 07:16:28, Healergirl (uid: 25515) rolls: 4d3a-5 Result: <strong>5</strong> (http://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=46050)  <strong>Five</strong> successes.  Plus whatever teamwork bonus from Reliyian's efforts.  A very productive day of study.<br/></div></div>
