Watching his colleagues come up with their own riddles was, admittedly, a bit of fun for him to enjoy, and as the envelopes began to be passed around the table he stood and ambled around, shamelessly snooping to see what had been written. He managed to keep his pleased humming to himself, but only barely as he made his way back to his seat, eager to hear their answers. He let them all speak in turn, smile turning solemn as he nodded at each guess and then tilted his head in wry acknowledgment.
"Sam, I believe the answer to your riddle is 'stars,' isn't it?" he asked with an apologetic smile for Amalia. "And Amalia, the answer to your riddle is... me!" He laughed, pleased and more than a little proud of his clever heart sister, even as grinned at Caiside for his good try. "Caiside, I believe your riddle was specifically a flower and not its seed." Now he did hum, thoughtful as he tried to decide whether to give the bookmaker partial credit. But... his first answer had been a seed, and no one else had gotten two guesses. Keeping that to himself for the moment he instead beamed around at his friends. "Regardless, all three riddles were well-written, especially for having so little time to come up with them! I'm impressed by each of you for your quick-thinking under pressure. You've shown your skills as individuals, and hopefully given each other a taste of your abilities. Now..."
Isuma bounded to the bowl in the center of the table, fluffing her wings proudly as she sat in it while Jigano swept a cloth from an array of items that had been set out previously. "Can you work together?" He winked at them, displaying a set of figures in metal, wood, or bone, each roughly the size of his fist, and each a single color. Lifting the Gold Dragon up he tilted it so they could see that there were words written on the bottom of it. "Use the clues to decide which totem goes where. There are seven totems, but only five bowls, so choose wisely... and in case you were wondering, the North wall is the one across the Hall from my office." He nodded towards the small table that had been set against that wall, with an empty bowl of its own. With that he sat back, grinning as Isuma hopped out of the bowl once more to go play with Jyoti while the humans went about their games.
There are four tables with small bowls set at the cardinal points (North, South, East, and West) of the room, along with the bowl in the center of the table. The items on the table and their inscriptions are as follows:
Silver gryphon
Where stars meet snow
I make my home
Silver feathers
Help keep me warm
Gold dragon
On wings of gold
I rise so high
To greet the sun
And rule the sky
Bronze unicorn
My horn of bronze
Is sharp and true
If lies you tell
I’ll run you through
Copper bear
By end of fall
I’ve done my best
I lay me down
And take a rest
Iron spire
An iron heart
Within a cage
Against my walls
You spent your rage
Wooden book
When lies are truths
And truths are lies
Solve this riddle
To gain the prize
Bone sword
The desert wind
Blows hot as blood
My sharpened edge
Turns sand to mud
