”I don’t know if the gap is being bridged…” the bard admitted with a sigh. ”It reminds me of the earlier conflicts we had between the Naturals and the Outlanders. Nothing really settled, and the embers merely banked and waiting to erupt again. But she is keeping things calm and for that I’m grateful to her as a friend and a Queen.” It was a heavy burden Rexanna carried, not just as Queen but as ambassador, essentially, of the Ascended.

The idea of a city of canals like the ones Jigano had once read of in far southern countries of his world caught his fancy and he grinned at Ronin’s description. The grin turned eager at tales of merfolk, another race inhuman as the Fae were, and as he himself had once been. ”A floating marketplace? Like the village at the Sea of Branches?” he asked curiously. ”Or different? And can you tell me some of the merfolk rumors? Remi mentioned them, too, but I’d love to collect more stories if you’ve heard them.”
He stretched and then scooted closer to the Pool to begin washing the soot from his arms and face while Isuma yawned and rolled onto her back to invite tummy rubs, one golden eye watching Ronin slyly.
