He jokes, knowing that he's likely reinforcing the point Brinika's parents would make. "Even so, it might be worth it to ask, just in case. It is useless for someone to live just in this place and one other without actually going out to see the world."
    Reelshka chuckles. "It's worth a try. They've already accepted many supposedly unthinkable things. And Brinika would absolutely love it."

    Pathfinder's Hut - Levi

    The hut is quite deep into the woods, in a small clearing that has just the one entrance with all the others sealed off by thorned brush at the moment. The Hut itself is quite large, easily capable of providing shelter to a family. If Levi can sense it, he'll be able to tell that a nearly uncountable number of nature spirits inhabit the place, hiding in the soil, trees, and the very stones themselves.

    Pathfinder himself is tall, over six feet and covered in thick tan fur. His chest has red chevrons dyed into the fur and one of his paws is covered by a thick bandage. When they approach, his ear twitches. "How can I be of service?" He asks with a sniff of the air.

    Levi, whose cape blows dramatically in the wind, follows Reelshka to the hut deep in the woods. Before he completel leaves, he waves 'bye' to his fellow-man who led him to Reelshka.

    Levi, unfortunately, is unable to sense any of the uncountable number of nature spirits. After all, he's a swordguy, not a magicguy nor a natureguy.

    "Nice place," he comments as they are close to the hut.

    Levi has a sword on his back. He has fairly muscled biceps, and he has a large chain wrapped loosely across his chest so he doesn't have to carry it in his hands. Levi is around 6 feet tall, so he's not quite as tall as Pathfinder.

    The soldier decides that he should answer, since, after all, it's his problem. He takes in a deep breath, before looking up at Pathfinder's eyes. Unfortunately, Pathfinder reminds Levi of one of those Australian Titans that frequently attacked him and his squad. Not quite as tall as one (they're over 30 feet tall), but still, the resemblance is uncanny.

    He only hesitates a second before continuing. After all, not all the Titans were ruthless killers, and they were all pretty good at magic, as well. He takes another breath, and responds. "I was told that you're good with possessions. You see, every time I wake up, or when my mind is weak enough, I get possessed by a Shadow Beast." He looks at Pathfinder directly in the eyes as he speaks.
    Reelshka steps back, allowing Levi and Pathfinder to talk this out.

    Andy is waiting here. He isn't sure if Reelshka will tell Pathfinder about him, but in any case he is waiting here. It's possible that this will happen after the current talk in the hut or never. Who knows.

    Kate pulls out a camera, the one that was for her prosthetic arm back when the hand could be switched out. "This should work for simple vision. We might have to fake the connection, though... mm. Might not come with drivers, either." She looks at the connections to see if there is an obvious way to hook it to the computer...

    There's actually a wire connection that's built for hooking up to a computer, initially built so that whomever is looking through it can also save videos and upload them; functional, really. You need at least some way to connect to the internet.

    "I think I've got that sort of cord. Just a minute." Eric moves off into the other room, and will come back a few moments later after rooting around in the computer desk for the camera cord he has. It should fit, if there's no issue.

    Pathfinder's Hut - Keo

    Pathfinder chuckles at that. "Alright then, let me just grab my spear, just in case we find something more than we bargain for." He says before bowing to Vasi and heading to his hut, leaving the pair for the moment.


    Pathfinder's Hut - Levi

    "What exactly is this Shadow Beast?"
    Pathfinder asks. He doesn't use his spirit-sight just yet, wanting to know what he might expect first. He'd rather not attract the attention of something too hostile until he's ready for it.

    Pathfinder's Hut - Reelshka

    Pathfinder leans down to nibble her neck affectionately before trying to get up slowly. "Well, we may as well go and run it past them now, so we know what to prepare for. A week is going to go by quickly." He advises.

    Main Cabin

    Sometime after the event with Levi, Pathfinder will show up to take a seat across from Andy. His body language shows that he doesn't intend to be hostile in the least and even has slightly submissive undertones. If Andy doesn't speak right away, Pathfinder will. "I hope you can forgive me for my behavior the last time we met." He asks of him. "Circumstances weren't the best and I normally have better control over myself."

    (Morty said to me that it was okay to assume Reelshka told him about Andy's location, hence the little timeskip if that is okay.)

    Reelshka gives Pathfinder a kiss before getting up herself.

    With that, she leaves.

    "Good, I left mine at home."

    There shouldn't be a problem, as long as the camera is compatible with the operating system. In a minute or two the program should be up and the image coming through the program.

    Pathfinder's Hut - Keo

    "Okay,r!"

    Keo will run over and hug Vasi's legs "Thank you,m!"

    There should be no issue with connection, as the camera has driver programs inside it to set up computers for use. Eric will go through the process of setting it all up fairly quickly.

    And then Kate will feel a familiar presence in the area. Cos has taken an interest, so he's taking a look in on what Kate's doing.

    The AI itself does not acknowledge the camera immediately; it'll need to be told to pay attention to it.

    Cos? Kate wants to ask "Is that you?" But she knows it's him, and then she wants to explain the situation, but he probably already knows it...

    Or if he doesn't, he could find out from Kate's mind with no trouble. She's being open right now.

    Pathfinder's hut - Keo

    "You have a good time, too,m, whatever you do,m." Keo will disengage the hug when Vasi tries to disengage.

    The Sea Elf is here! He's a young boy, with blue skin and greenish hair. He's currently asleep in a bed. I think Dimonite said that Lume wouldn't leave him till he woke up, so Lume may be in the area.

    Most of a mast, with part of a sail and some lengths of rope remains in the lake, as does a broken ballista.

    "Not what I was expecting, but I guess." Justin answers. "I know how to use a knife and a gun pretty well, very well actually," he says with a bit of pride. His sister taught him how to knife fight and just plain fight dirty, and his skill with guns and energy pistols were hard earned. "But there are better fighters than me you could learn from. I could try to set you up with a warrior from Watchtower if neither of those interest you." He knows Wenomir and Harnel are fighters and pretty good ones if they work for the anti-doom team.

    Yuki moves over to the side of the bed that Lume isn't at. She steps quietly, it would be easy not to notice her approach. She smiles, happy to see that he is looking better since she last saw him, if apparently still sleepy.

    He's already awoken once; Lume told him his family was dead and his home had sunk and he cried himself into unconsciousness. But he doesn't awake yet.

    "I think I'd like to learn how to use a gun, Sir. They didn't have any at the Hermitage, Sir." They did, but only one person knows how to use one. In the entirety of the Cult, there's three guns I know of- Percival's WWII-era weapon whose exact type has been forgotten by me, Terrowin's custom automatic pistol and Madame de la Moy's new particle magnum.
