"Hm... The center of the forest should be this way, I think," Trium says, grinning, and heading off to their left. "It's not something I've put a lot of thought into, but it should be close enough to work... What exactly does that do?"

Defelent's House- Tracy's Room
"I normally sleep with Defelent. Not always curtaining, I mostly keep him company. Please, don't worry." Tracy's not especially concerned, but she's fairly sure as to what Defelent's reaction to a replacement mattress will be.
Din looks at it a little distracted, the green glow illuminating her face "...it's an artefact...it contains a vast amount of natural magic...it's equivalent to the power of a god even. it should help protect this place, and if we let it's energy spread, it will slowly re-naturalize the area "
"Ah. That makes more sense, then... Wouldn't that mean that the center of the forest shouldn't necessarily be the focal point, though? I mean, it's just a guess, but I'd think it would make more sense to place it at the heaviest concentration of ley lines we can find, regardless of where that is in relation to the forest."

"Well, if you're sure..."
Naethalee doesn't look entirely convinced, but merely nods.

"I know Defelent too well. He's willing to spend money for his own comfort, but other than that he hordes it and tries to spend as little as possible. When we met, did you note my meal? Water, and the second cheapest meal on the menu. Second cheapest so he wouldn't appear miserly. You had the most expensive meal, and Defelent had what he wanted no matter the price, like he usually does. Thank you for the offer, but it would be refused unless you pay, and make him suspicious besides." Defelent isn't jealous, he just doesn't want Naethalee to run off with Tracy. So if Naethalee asks for a new mattress for Tracy, he'll know they've been talking and getting to know each other, and Naethalee might be plotting Tracy's rescue. Or possibly capture, depending on if Naethalee intended to free Tracy, keep her, or sell her.

Naethalee listens to Tracy's outburst, and then leans over to hug the girl once she's done.
"Alright. But if there's anything at all that I can do, discreetly, to help..." she says quietly.
She isn't out to free Tracy on the basis of her status, per se, but seems to have taken quite the shine to the girl.

"I suppose some food occasionally won't go amiss. I'm not starved, no more often than I'm beaten, but a bit of meat would really spice up my meals." Cats are carnivores, and Tracy's a catgirl. Therefore, she would like to eat more meat than usual.

Naethalee nods, and sighs.
"Alright. I can do that for you. And if there's anything else..."

"If there's anything else I'll mention it when I think of it or as soon afterwards as I can." Also, there's sounds coming from the neighbouring room, suggesting that Defelent might be in the process of waking up.

Carrie leads Karyana to the altar.
Are you ready?
Defelent's House
Tracy gives Naethalee a hug back, and follows her to Defelent's room.
Defelent smiles up at them when he sees them. "Hello, Nymiiria. I think I'll have a shower now, would you care to join me?" Defelent winks.
