<strong>Aeryn Sunlight<br/>Magna Sophia Chapterhouse common room, Point Respite<br/>Talking with Dr. Catherine Seabreeze</strong><br/><br/>"I always have time to speak to a fellow Sister, Dr. Seabreeze. Administrator, but not entirely by choice?"  Aeryn may have sighed softly. "I have worn  those  pinching shoes, trust me, I have."  A glance at Reliyian, a slight nod, then returning her attention fully to Dr. Seabreeze.  "The apology is not needed, but appreciated.  Those who are cleaning up a mess are not often responsible for it, I have learned."  Unslinging her pack and crossbow. laying them on the table and settling into a chair, stretching her legs out and crossing booted feet before her, she waved to another chair at the table.<br/><br/>"Please sit, the others will be down shortly.  An archaeologist.  Very much the woman I want to talk to, then.  Commandant Vin has requested,"  there was no irony in the word at all, "That I and my party take a look at a Giant Spider not too far from here.  A very Giant spider.  We are not to engage, merely to observe and report.  but you know how such things go.  I suspect the entity may not be an actual natural spider and has been tethered in place as a guardian, there seem to be hints of a larger complex behind the lair.  Do you know anything about this?  I will of course share all of my findings with you."<br/><br/>Not an empty courtesy, the Society compartmentalized information to a degree that Aeryn did not always approve of.  A novice darted in with tea and a light breakfast.  Aeryn wordlessly took a cup, some bread and fruit, but didn't start eating right away.  Her clohing was as utilitarian as Dr. Seabreez's, sturdy linen trousers tucked into tough ankle boots that were very well made but worn from use, a longsleeved tunic with a host of button-flapped pockets some filled, some empty, a half cloak, and a knit cap.  And of course, a belt over the tunic.  A large poignard on one hip, a small case on the other
