What do you get when two ruthless assassins raise their daughter travelling through the wildest reaches of Caido? Take one look at Theea and you'll get a pretty good idea. Cheerful and tenacious in equal measure, and curious beyond all else, she began her journey on a mission to find those her mother once called family. And find them she did, soon rubbing elbows with demigods, leaders and even ghosts from the past. Her determination is resolute, her thirst for knowledge unmatched. We can't wait to see where her next adventure takes her!
Congratulations, Theea!

With the day winding down to a close and no flowers in sight, Rhiannon insisted upon escorting Lena to the skyport. They could, after all, continue their search right up until the last minute this way. So as they walked through Sidhe Village from the Undercroft, Rhi kept her eyes peeled for any glimmer of gold or flash of a rose.
"Will you be coming back this way soon?" she asked Lena conversationally, scanning the ground around them as they walked. "I'll have to go back to Halo soon to check in, but I'll be around if you want to team up again." Surely there were more areas of the Greatwood to explore, and surely one of them, somewhere, held a rose.

Basket on her shoulder, eyes briefly on Mittens, Lena nodded along as they made their way to the Observatory. It was too bad they weren’t here during an evening; she could imagine the stars, and everything else celestial, must have been quite a sight throughout this area. It didn’t mean she couldn’t return another time, and intended to, so she kept those notions under wraps, and hopeful for the future. “Probably. I must go back to the Celestine and some Dragoon duties,” of which she tilted her head, not disclosing, but as Rhiannon was also a soldier, she figured she’d understand. Lena’s tactics, of course, didn’t involve any sort of violence – tending gardens and wounds was where she meandered.
And so Rhiannon would have to do the same – nodding her head in comprehension. She could imagine Halo must’ve required all sorts of patrols, after the rough Deepfrost they’d had. “I’ll let you know.” She intended to return with Zavien, and whomever else; it would be nice to have company while they searched and hoped and prayed.

Not having realized that Lena was a dragoon, Rhiannon cocked her head to one side, glancing over at the woman with surprise. She didn’t strike Rhi as the soldiering type, but perhaps the dragoons had other roles within their ranks. In any case, she understood well the need to get back to one’s duties, and even if searching for flowers was hers right now, she’d need to return home at some point to report on her failure.
Not, of course, that it was entirely her fault. Luck had plenty to do with it, and it seemed that that was the element they were missing.
”Well, safe travels back,” Rhiannon said. ”Let me know when you return, and I’ll try and meet you.” Perhaps they could bring reinforcements and split their efforts throughout a group, or perhaps more eyes would allow them better success. They wouldn’t know until they tried, and Rhiannon was determined to continue their efforts until someone succeeded.

No one would ever think Lena a soldier; which was fine for the Caretaker, as she was mender first and foremost, and had no inclinations towards violence. Picking up a staff or bow from time to time was enough – maybe to prove she could defend herself (very poorly) and not be a liability anywhere. Though, in all honesty, she was much more likely to utilize her Attuned skills before striving to bear arms.
She gave another soft, small smile at the regards though, a nod of plans made and forged. “Thank you. You too.” And while it would’ve been nice to traverse home with success on their hearts and minds, at least the company hadn’t been disappointing. And there were a whole new set of ventures to discover, later on, down the road. "This place must be simply fascinating in the evening. Do you have anything like it in Halo?" She could imagine the stars across the horizon, upon a cold, chilling night, were something else too.

"Not exactly," said Rhiannon thoughtfully, considering Halo. "It's not quite the same, but the Palace is remarkable. If you climb up high enough, you can see the stars perfectly. But the architecture and the intent is way different." The Observatory here was built for just that purpose, but the Palace had myriad uses.
Arriving at the skyship that was meant to take Lena back to Stormbreak, Rhiannon turned to her with a lopsided smile. "Well, better luck next time. Stay safe out there, Lena." Then, with a halfhearted salute, Rhi turned to make her way a few ships down and back home to Halo.
