Research, and the Restless Dead
Sunday, 1 June 2014 23:00Checking up on the bone first thing in the morning (last of the discharge drained off), I headed down to the caern to watch some fire for a while, and try to see what sense I could make last night's observations. The non-zombies are an interesting case, and one I don’t have a ready, firm answer for. By the end of fire, I had a variety of ideas, but nothing I could… prove. No way to tell one idea from another.
After I finished, I realized that Rifthealer had shown up while I was watching the fire. We talked a bit, but my groggy head made understanding her hard (this is getting better, though. Though… is better the right word?). After talking about her pack (great totem - Black Unicorn) for a bit, and I got around to asking her if she was still interested in learning rites. She knows some interesting magic, and so does Last-Song-Standing. Nothing I’m interested in myself, because my place in a fight is near the front, but those anti-magic rites are always fascinating. Anyhow, I arranged a trade with her, teaching her some more normal rites in exchange for helping my packmates’ education along. Hopefully this isn’t too much, too fast for those two.
( Alicia shows up, and my thoughts turn back to the restless dead )
So much reading lately. It makes sense, though. I’ve exhausted what I can learn from the stories around here, and there’s no more elders to study under. I still do my studies, but when it comes to learning what others have learnt before me, it’s time to weave a wider basket, I guess.
I noticed Last Song Standing was looking very good as I left the caern. Not in the way I would have before, but... am I jealous of her? Like that pretty-bitch Fianna? So weird.
