I recently spoke to the eminently beautiful Miang-Si. Quite the interesting young lady, it seems she is intent on staying young and beautiful forever. More than that, she claims she has been promised a way to do this. That she has a gift she believes can be trained to help reach immortality. An unfortunately familiar goal. As for her potential tutors, she spoke of those who can part waters and speak to ghosts. Perhaps the ladies of the lake? It would fit her sneaking out, I believe. She certainly has some magical potential, although to what end she can be taught I couldn't comment.

Our young mistress also mentioned an old friend of ours. Anui, The Huntress, who as recently mentioned was seen in was these woods. It seems in a fit of vanity Miang-Si sought her out and met her. She was... compelled by her. I'd imagine that speaks to some skill or touch of death on her part.

Interestingly, whoever her potential tutors are want something from her. They did not meet the Huntress as she did, before the local villagers drove her away. I do wonder what they think she knows, or has?

On a more entertaining note, she also appears to be convincing her father to fake his death so she can be more appealing to marry. Apparently, tragically dead parents are fashionable.

My role grants easy access to Miang-Si should anyone further need it.

I do believe I said I was in no way suggesting we don't help her. You don't need to defend her cause to me.

[blackscales]

Seek carefully, with a plan.

[blackscales]

Uncertain. She is at a headstrong age, and bent on her goal.

[downswing]

Name it.

[ A lot of this is 'off', but too much is also disturbingly familiar. That's a trend around these parts. ]

How much access, if I may ask?

[blackscales]

We follow, unseen. We watch. We learn. We approach, only if she is not aggressive.

[downswing]

She is not rabbit.

[traaaaaash]

ah. teenagers.

let me handle this

[blackscales]

You consider yourself good with those of her age?

[blackscales]

I am the Matchmaker. She is to be married. I can talk to her as much as I need, privately.

[blackscales]

Quite so, as far as I know rabbits are not creatures where you have to be concerned about aggression.

[ Wrathion has never really handled a live rabbit. ]

[matermali]

Are you kind to her?

[blackscales]

I play to my role. She trusts me, I offer her some understanding. It is neither kind nor unkind. I am not a friend, in her eyes, but an employee.

[matermali]

Understanding is kinder than what I suspect she is accustomed to among the less magically-inclined.

[ Vanessa would have done anything for some 'understanding' once upon a time, even at her most vile. ]

Have you encountered covens wielding immortality before?

[downswing]

When skittish, prone to kick.

[blackscales]

Then if she is not a rabbit, I don't have to fear being kicked.

[downswing]

Wrathion.

[blackscales]

Your concern is flattering, but unnecessary.

[downswing]

Not for your sake.

[blackscales]

You fear she will control me? She did not try before. I don't believe I am enough touched by death for her.

[clavesregni]

Yes. Of course. You did.

[downswing]

I fear we have grown too accustomed to what we have observed of their powers.

They may yet have more.

[blackscales]

On that you are correct. We are not clear on her limits.

[traaaaaash]

i do have some experience

[downswing]

Or her cause. Her purpose.
