Fortune looked at the ebony woman not with mirth nor hostility but with sympathy and compassion despite it not shown to him. He was quite understanding of how the context looked to a outsider and whom she was with. However there are always two sides to a story. And it was right time to exchange them. So Fortune sits down carefully and removes the birds from his feet.<strong>"Canticle, can you mend the ebony woman wounds? I doubt she would permit me to with such a tone to her voice."</strong>He had his eyes cast down for the moment seemingly frustrated by why just happened. If the tarp had held up against the Terrestrial's aura, then they could have saved Wild Heart. He still intends to, but it's one other step of caution they have to take now.<br/><br/>It was most regrettable that his feet had become so adhesive from the Malfean net that he wound up killing some of these owls. Hopefully it did not injure or maim Wild Heart. He didn't have the time to lament his failure to rescue Wild Heart from the sorceress and her band. He needed to bring this one around to their side. Best to work with her deep devotion and concern for Canticle.<strong>"Before that, I ask for a touch of mercy as I have shown these bandits and all I require is that you listen. Canticle is no bandit and neither am I. Canticle is held bound by another, along with myself and all here within an unbreakable vow. The one in question was a Quicksilver Falcon, like myself named Medioly, Binder of Seven Hearts. The task is of preventing the Thief King Zudrak, from making off with these items in question and that he cannot keep hold of any of them."</strong><br/><br/>The Fool looks her over with a glance and keeps his eyes upon the Lunar since she very well may strike him before he can finish what he speaks of. The fact that she was willing to switch sides and join a known Solar to him was for one reasons and one reason only.<strong>"You wish to help her yes O Child of Luna?"</strong>A calculated deduction to be sure but he could very well be wrong in such regards but regardless he continued.<strong>"Then you would have to join us in this task since she cannot break the vow lest she suffer disfavor from Heaven itself. True, we have a majority but again we have to collect every piece of the stolen goods or the vow won't be kept and all whom made the vow, including my captured friend, will suffer Heaven's wrath. And yes I do intend to go after Canticle's friend and my own. That is the most important task in the here and now."</strong><br/><br/>Fortune would elaborate and leave nothing left in the dark for the Child of Luna so as to properly earn her trust and help sort this out. He kept his eyes locked on hers to make sure she didn't think him as lying to her.<strong>"I suspect that things were omitted or potentially fabricated from the Quicksilver Falcon's dying words to get us to make this vow. I would wish to hear your side of these events regarding Medioly, Binder of Seven Hearts, The Faultline Between Greatest Enemies, Quicksilver Falcon, his son and Thief King Zudrak and his band of bandits that assaulted the Solar's expedition to The Pulse of the East and stole the goods we have just wrested from them."</strong>
