<strong>Leander</strong><br/><br/>"We'll take a quick look through the ruins tommorow. If there's anything interesting, we come back here and pick up as if we had just awoken. Sound like a plan?" She asked with a smile, "If there's nothing here... they'll just put on another game tommorow and we'll have the day to ourselves."<br/><br/>The Adventuress sultrily chuckled at the suggestion. Always a tease, Liah loved to make implications without ever confirming them. "The fans? A flippant sort, who are faddish by nature."<br/><br/>She gave a shrug, "That's why we're so far from civilization. These islands are the next big thing. People get bored of the same old routine."<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">The post before this one was dreadful.

Even as the words left her lips, she felt the world blacken and warp around her again. Ewon's concerned words were the last things she heard before the entire world blurred. The ring's magic brought her mind to the control device, and again she was brought (in spirit, at least) to the darkened room where she had always seen the Minister.<br/><br/>He brought a cigarette to his lips and took one long drag as Ivette's consciousness materialized infront of him. Blowing the smoke out, he drew his eyes to meet the woman's.<br/><br/>"I'll take your questions." He said, his golden-amber eyes becoming more visible than her last time in his presence, "Oh, but before I do... That was a<em>splendid</em>preformance, Lady Ivette. I will have it disseminated among the sponsors and game runners."<br/><br/>"You had me worried there." The Minister added, his tone turning soft as he closed his eyes, the long object within his hair bobbing as he lowered his head, "But the danger just made it all the more exciting, don't you think? Though I do hope you'll forgive my...intervention."<br/><br/>"I assure you, I wasn't ever planning on rescuing<em>you.</em>"<br/><br/>He paused for a moment, his head tilting to the side, "That came out wrong."<br/><br/><strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>The riders seemed to make up their collective minds about the airship as Ermon came to his own conclusion. Rathael hopped up and down in anticipation, the captain placing his hand on the half-celestial's chest to calm him. By Ellen's reckoning, they were indeed humans and not giants. The griffon riders began to head straight for the ship on an intercept course at a hurried, but unthreatening pace.<br/><br/>The Captain turned to Ellen, "You're in charge." Rath smiled, offering no complaints, "Go speak with them if you can. Figure out what they want. I just don't want them getting close enough to endanger the ship or my crew."
