The kid quietly steps back. Yeah...

"Right... sooo..."
Reinholdt rubs the back of his head.
"I think I'll go talk to Tobias now. Nice meeting you. Bye."
Reinholdt heads for the medical lab to extract himself from the awkward situation!

Jamie would come over, if she hadn't just spotted Kevin and is currently staring at him in frozen surprise! :smalltongue:

Literary tropes dictate Brinika acts as a completely oblivious moment ruiner for Jamie and Kevin.
Indeed, right now, the tiny goblin pops out of nowhere next to Jamie. Hi Jamie! What's up?
[Island]
Sophie bites her lip. Do you know anyone who would be better at it? I imagine some other Exalt would be best, since noone else has ever seen anything like that when looking at me. We won't get any help from my fellow Hunters, since the Messengers saw it fit to leave us in the dark about our own nature.

Garden
Jamie jumps in surprise!
"Eep! Where'd you come from? Hey. I'm good, just finished gardening..."
Island
"Well, Zamira's pretty busy these days...I'm not sure if any other Exalts are around lately." Shrike runs a hand through her hair, and sighs.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
I came from over there. Brinika points between the cabins. Goblins are sneaky. Maybe you were distracted by your gardening... oooh, who's that? As always easily distracted, she points at the new kid she's never seen before.
[Island]
Looks like we have a problem. Sophie taps the ground with her foot. Is Zamira another Exalted? She asks. Even if she's busy, maybe at one point she'll have some time to check this out.

"...that's Kevin," Jamie says, her cheeks rosy as the apparently-deadtimed shy young chap is pointed out. "He's from the world my daddy's from."
[Island]
"Yes - she's a Lunar Exalted, and my Lunar Mate," Shrike explains. "Sorcery was never my strong point, but I could see if I could come up with something..."
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
Ooooh. Nice. She looks up at Jamie's face and sees that the usual pasty color of her human skin is changing. Why are you blushing?
[Island]
Hm. Sorcery. Not an altogether pleasant memory for Sophie. Sorcery is what got her into the Nexus in the first place; she can only hope her fellow Hunters and this group of normals calling themselves "The Loyalists of Thule" managed to bag the warlock.
Let's hope so. As I said, we Hunters have no ways of discerning our own nature, unless the Messengers were to decided to reveal more. Not sure if any other supernatural being has ever had a chance to analyze one of us thoroughly.

"What? Am not!" Jamie protests!
...then whispers.
"He's cute."

Island
"Well, like I said, it's not my specialty, but needs must when the Yozis drive," Shrike says with a chuckle.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
Brinika looks at Kevin, then at Jamie and squints. He is? Um. Maybe. She's not old enough to be interested in boys this way yet and even if she was, Kevin's still a human. So you like him?
[Island]
Sophie nods.
Fair enough, I suppose. What do we need?
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
"Yeah. He's super shy but so nice and he's really smart and knows how to make stuff, and knows rocks and gems and everything."
Jamie rubs her turquoise bracelet (that Kevin made) subconsiously with a small smile as she speaks!
===
Island
"To get back to the cabin, for starters." Shrike grins at Sophie. "Do you want to paddle back or would you rather take Air Exalted?"
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
Ooooh. Shiny. Yeah, I remember now. You mentioned it once. Wanna go and talk to him?
[Island]
Well, I guess flying's faster and the paddleboat can stay here for a while... Sophie has a bad feeling about this, though.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
By The Lake
"When Marsh Goblins need to go anywhere, we usually swim, and if we're trading we use coracles made of reeds. Our warriors usually ride giant dragonflies, though; nothing else large enough to ride can cross both thick mud and deep pools with equal ease, and we're faster than most others in the swamps. The lizardpeople are slightly faster swimmers, but we're better on the ground, and Swamp Trolls are territorial, so we can avoid those by leaving the territory of one and entering that of another. Although sometimes we supply a Swamp Troll with fish so it leaves us alone." Myrim hasn't seen a giant dragonfly- they're kept away from the villages because giant dragonfly nymphs are scary.

Brinika's ears twitch. That's a lot of information to take in. It sounds weird. It's hard to imagine goblins living in water.
-

"It's hard for me to imagine Cliff Goblins living in their houses built onto cliff-faces." Myrim continues weaving her dress of water weed.

"Well...I dunno..."
Jamie blushes more!
Island
Shrike's grin grows. "Climb aboard, then."
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[By The Lake]
Brinika's ears twitch some more.
Cliff goblins sound strange too. I thought goblins only lived underground.
[Garden]
Brinika is rather weirded out. Jamie has always been headstrong and brave, but now she seems afraid to talk to this boy. The goblin reaches up and tugs at her sleeve. C'mon. You said he's nice.
[Lakeside]
You mean I should climb on your back? Sophie has a bad feeling about this. She doesn't know Shrike, but she's heard rumors...

Reinholdt steps in, looking for Tony and Toby.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Outside]
Kevin watches Reinholdt leave, then bends down to pick up some dirt for tactile examination. He doesn't notice Jamie yet.
[Med Lab]
Toby and Tony are looking over a cadaver.
No signs at all of restraint or a struggle.
He must have used magic, then...
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

Reinholdt clears his throat.
"Ahem. If the Hardy Boys could spare a minute, I need to talk with Joe." Reinholdt says, looking at Tobias.

"Well....OK..."
Jamie gives Brinika a smile. Then heads in Kevin's direction!
Putting on a smile on top of her slightly rosy cheeks.
Where she'll clear her throat softly at what she hopes is sufficient distance not to cause Kevin to do his best impression of a startled armadillo and jump sky-high.

These rumours may or may not be greatly exaggerated.
"Yup. Don't worry, I don't bite - not unless I'm wanted to." Shrike chuckles.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Garden]
And Brinika tags along behind Jamie. Caretaker hovers behind faithfully.
[Island]
This does little to reassure Sophie.
Alright then... And she does climb on Shrike's back, feeling quite embarassed.

"Hang on tight!" Shrike declares...before taking a short run to the water's edge, and calling on the Soaring Crane Leap charm to leap tall buildingsfrom the island across the lake to the shore in a single prodigous bound!
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

Sophie hangs on tight as Shrike leaps over the lake. The thought that flashes through her mind, momentarily, is: Why don't we get to do stuff like this?

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

And down they come, to a surprisingly soft landing in a cloud of dust!
"And we thank you for flying Exalt Air."

The cleric gives the cat a blank look, but the Druid grins.
I beg your pardon?
I'm Joe. You're the brainy one, Frank, so that makes me the handsome one. He turns to Reinholdt. What's up, Nancy?
Who's the enabling one now, Rein? :smalltongue:
[Outside]
Kevin looks up and grins. Oh, hi Jamie! And hi, um... Brinika's appearance leaves him in curious silence.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Lakeshore]
Sophie hops off Shrike's back and dusts herself off. Well, that was impressive. Not even werewolves can jump that far. I assume your cabin is our next stop.
[Outside]
I'm Brinika! Hi! The tiny goblin announces cheerfully.
-
Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!
[Outside, near the Garden]
"Hi Kevin. This is...well, she introduced herself already." Jamie giggles. "It's good to see you. I wasn't expecting you to visit!"
If she had, she wouldn't be all dirty from gardening right now, of course. :smalltongue:
===
[Outside, on the Lakeshore]
"That Charm has come in handy more than once." Shrike grins. "And indeed - if you're up for handling the rumours that will no doubt fly when you're seen entering it." And the redheaded Exalt gives Sophie what can only be a challenging look.

Re: {Nexus} Good League of Good LXXVII: Earth Vampires DON'T Sparkle!

The Redeemer shrugs. Rumors don't bother me. Besides, such rumors would imply I have a life, and everyone knows I don't.

[Outside, on the Lakeshore>Cabin 8]
Shrike frowns a little at Sophie's words, but nods, and leads the way to her cabin.
