Rhiannon
Boreal took the bread gently, and Rhi left the dragon to her snack as the humans worked on placing candles in the windows. Once her tapered candles were in place atop the candelabra, Rhi took a shorter, fatter candle and a plate and went to a smaller window nearby. Rather than reach for the matches, she rubbed her palms on her thighs, generating static electricity along her pant leg before manipulating that spark to start the flame on the candles.
Tal's description of the gourds lined up with the reports that the Shields had gotten thus far, though Rhi's patrols had been largely devoid of the possessed vegetables. That was sure to change, though; things always did around here, and usually it happened when she was on duty. "I've only seen a few, myself," she said. "But our reports are full of 'em. Lots of citizens panicking, wondering it they have anything to do with the Void." So far, they hadn't seen any indication of such, but she couldn't blame the populace for wondering.
Speaking of the Void: "It's been about the same, but at least we have the hot springs. We did have a nasty run in with a Void ursur not too long ago," she recalled, shuddering slightly in spite of herself at the memory. "Matthias - one of the guys on my patrol - nearly got himself killed trying to stop it."
