"Lasagna's always a good bet anyway." Fletcher encourages.
"We'll go somewhere with a smaller menu next time and work through it for you." the big doe suggests. "That way when we come back here you'll be able to order like a pro!"
"What's what mean? De tumbs up?" Sam asks Scruff.
"Dat means he approves. If you get de tumbs down den watch out dough." she winks.
The antics of the dogs and tod soon set the does giggling again although they try to hide it. They're barely able to stifle their giggles when they catch each others' eyes though. Until they hear Selene's comment anyway, and then they turn serious again.
"Aye. What DID happen today, Selene?"
"Yeah. If I'm running for my life, I'd kinda like to know what was chasing me and how to avoid it."

David paid then sat back down. The wait staff appeared with the orders in due time, putting the drinks down first before laying out the foods (Rav, Blood and Lucky having already been served theirs.) "Thought we'd never get to eat," David admitted.

Scruff squirted ketchup onto his omelette. He made it so it looked a little like Sam.

"I don't know about forgetting," David asserted, carrying strength and concern in his tone, "but I can concede i'd rather it not happen again."
"I can go with forgetting," Scruff said, "as I probably won't understand it anyhow."
"I might."
"Shut up, inner me!"

"I don't know if I can forget bein' strangled any time soon..." Sam states, subconsciously rubbing her throat, feeling that dreadful paw again. Fletcher puts a comforting arm around her friend's shoulders as both does wait for Selene to answer, and Sam finds herself leaning towards the bigger doe slightly in response.

Jay brightened at the mention of books, but then wilted slightly as memory of the small, quick moment she experienced from the earlier affair came back. "What happened was scary." She was not comforted by Sam's words on the matter.

"I'm sorry, but no, you're not, not when your soul is on the line" Selene continued to reject "And you, as in the people of this land, are not ready, and the first true contact between my people and yours did not prove otherwise"Keeshah wrote: I have already told you, i'm ready to make those great sacrifices, An i'm not ready because no one has shown me the way.

Selene gave David a smile and a gentle nodWelsh Halfwit wrote:"Tell no-one why I'm standing with you," David said, a humorous glint in his eye but not in his voice, "I can do that, Selene."
"Well....." the vixen sighed, taking a big sip of her sodaHlaoroo wrote:"I suppose so, Scruff." Sam agrees.
"So what is this secret then? What's the conflict all about?" Fletcher asks.
"Around four years ago, we were attacked by an organization, who discovered our ability and kidnapped many of my kind in an attempt to harness magic for their own purpose. In grief and desperation, a young fox from my family let loose an ancient weapon upon her kidnappers."
Selene took another drink
"As per the pact between my people and the people of our attackers,calling themselves Reclaimers, none of these ancient weapons, which belong to my people, is allowed to be brought into their territory, as in the rest of the world. However, it is also stated that anything that is within the territory of one side, belongs to that side.
For the last four years, the young vixen I mentioned and the weapon she carried have been roaming the world, preparing for its true activation. Should the weapon successfully activates on their territory, it will be considered an act of aggression against their people, and a war might break out. Should the Reclaimers acquires the weapon, the already tensed relationship between our factions might go out of balance, with their disapproval of you, the outlanders, and my people's distrust toward the Reclaimers being a catalyst for another potential conflict, and if the kidnappers got their hands on this weapon.....well, I would prefer they don't.
Andd so, currently, my people, the Reclaimers, the surviving humans involved in the kidnapping, as well as me, with the help from my friend, the wolf you met earlier by the name Muiva, are all trying to reach this vixen before all others. The Reclaimers detected our attempt at tracking her down for a while now, and we've been able to slow them down ourselves, but Muiva told me that the weapon is about to be ready, which means there's no time for subtlety anymore. She led them here, so I can block their path and buy her time while she goes ahead and neutralize the weapon while ensuring the survival of the young vixen."

"So, basically," David said, working his way through it, "you need to hold up these people long enough for her to find the 'MaGuffin' as the wrong people finding it might, in the roleplay, cause the holder to use it?" he glanced at the others around them in the cafe whilst using 'nerdy' terms he'd learned a few years back to sell the 'roleplay' thing. "But you do need help, luv," he added, reaching to put a handpaw on hers to give it a squeeze. "To sell the fact that you've got something important needs you to be prepared to defend it. That means a team, usually. People lunatic enough to see that people who attack innocents and Children need to be stood against and those sane enough to realise that we like this world you've, er, created for us... for the... roleplay. We happen to live in it," he added with a grin.

"I don't know if you've noticed, Rav, Blood," David replied, "but, despite their best efforts, we're still here. We're still standing. If we stay, they're coming. If we go?" he gave a wry smile. "They're still coming. So we choose to stand or run. And here's where I have friends..." He put his free arm around Jay's shoulders even as his other hand stayed on Selene's, "...even the makings of a new family with you lot, perhaps. I'm not willing to leave those things behind. We can help save the world if we stand together."

"Are playin' in dis roleplay... De Fair Folk?" she asks carefully.
Fletcher has a different concern.
"What do you mean our souls are on the line? 'Coz I'm pretty sure the Big Man Upstairs has mine safe and sound." she asks, sounding more confident than she feels.

"Actually......it's a little complicated than that." Selene gently scratched her head for a moment, trying to relax herselfKeeshah wrote: Only because that bear switched sides.. this time.
"Reclaimers attacking outlanders is a very rare thing, generally frowned upon except as the last result. Despite the first impression, they are.....shall I say......good guys. They just have different view point on things. While I appreciate the courageous sentiment, things most likely went out of their control as they did for us, so, now that that's over, we can probably negotiate with them with words." she said, though uncertainty slightly crept up in her voice at the end.
"Something like that I suppose" this made the vixen chuckled "They're not the same thing, but the two are similar in nature enough that legends of old would mistake both to be the same"Hlaoroo wrote:Sam gives Scruff's paw a comforting squeeze as she thinks.

"Humans are....confident in their place in the world. Many beliefs of old were based on information they're gathered then. Over time, they learn more of the world, and these beliefs are discarded or revised accordingly. For now, there aren't many new information about souls, thus beliefs regarding such matters have not yet been put into reconsideration." she continued, slow and gentleKeeshah wrote: An seeing as the human religions already believes that "we are soulless beast put on earth to serve man"
Rav is right, We don't have a soul to lose.
"But, rest assured, all things that exist possess souls. They may come in different form, conceptual chorus, runes of nature, or the essences of living beings, each varies in strength, having grown or diminished through time, but invaluable just the same. A soul is like a brushstroke upon the canvas of reality, a proof that say "I, something that is unique and can never be replicated, exist, for I am here and now, occupying a space and moment that is for me alone", which will persist much further than the life time of even the most ancient being. Because of this, souls, such as yours, are immeasurably precious things, as precious as they are powerful"
The vixen gave David's hand a gentle squeeze, before pulling back, putting her paws together.
"As you can imagine, a thing that can leave a mark in reality possesses immense strength. Souls, even the most diminished of them, are self-contained source of such power by nature. Due to the nature of our homeland however, the souls of my people, as well as those of the Reclaimers, who shared our ancestral bonds, are scarred. We use the essence escaped from these scars to forcefully impact changes on the world, a process which you call "magic".
Every time we do so, a part of our soul is lost, like a dash of paint used to cover up a pained canvas with a new drawing, and just as the old drawing is damaged by such act, the world is also wounded by magic. Furthermore, the more of our souls we left behind, the more likely we will become bound to this world, having to walk this realm even in death until the end. For the most unfortunate, those whose soul are all but drained, they will simply perished, with no hope for an after life"
The vixen took the last of her soda, then looked Blood in the eyes "So yes, you do have something to lose, and I will never put you in such a risk, especially for such a dangerous thing like magic......well......our form of magic, at least"

Jay simply looked at Selene as she spoke, eyes wide at the flurry of information, which she sorta understood some of. "And I thought my stuff was weird... Please never get caught by the Doctor. Or even whisper that anywhere near him. I don't wanna see him try and scar souls somehow." She said, a little ramble-y -though David's arm around her helped somewhat- as she attempted to wrap her head around the parts she didn't understand.

"That... Was actually quite beautiful, Selene. Very poetic... I have a question though. You said your form of magic. What other kinds of magic are there?"

"So, what exactly are your people den, if not us or de Fair Folk?" Sam wants to know, releasing Scruff's paw and picking up her fork as her food arrives.

"Please don't worry about it" Selene smiled "Secrecy is of utmost important to us, which was why I asked you all to forget everything today ever happened. Should this doctor of yours get too close, we have measures to prevent unneeded exposure."Neon Icy Wings wrote:Jay simply looked at Selene as she spoke, eyes wide at the flurry of information, which she sorta understood some of.

Sam wants to know, releasing Scruff's paw and picking up her fork as her food arrives.
"Aside from the magic from forces above, which I think are usually known as "miracles", in recent centuries there has been a rise in numbers of individuals born of your land who possess the ability to tap into the fabric of reality, creating phenomenons that are identical to our magic, yet their souls remain whole. We call these individuals "the Radiants", from a theory proposed regarding the cause of their appearance" At this, the vixen's eyebrows came slightly closer as she mused "In recent years, their numbers became substantial enough to gather and create their own communities. We have yet to find the cause of this or an explanation for their abilities, but, they're out there, becoming more and more numerous."Hlaoroo wrote:"Aww, thanks, David." Fletcher smiles, embarrassed and flattered.
"That... Was actually quite beautiful, Selene. Very poetic... I have a question though. You said your form of magic. What other kinds of magic are there?"
The vixen then paused for a moment, as if remembering something, then continued "Actually.....The attack today was because I deceived them into thinking Jay was one of these Radiants, in order to lure them out so I can identify them before they identify me. So, my apology."

"Now THAT part," David said sternly, "you don't do again. If you do? It's me. Or this pair," he added, gesturing to Rav and Blood and smiling slightly, "They seem able to kick backside and survive."

So your saying the next time they appear, we should just hand you over to them.. right, got it.Serence Frostbite wrote: "Actually......it's a little complicated than that." Selene gently scratched her head for a moment, trying to relax herself
"Reclaimers attacking outlanders is a very rare thing, generally frowned upon except as the last result. Despite the first impression, they are.....shall I say......good guys. They just have different view point on things. While I appreciate the courageous sentiment, things most likely went out of their control as they did for us, so, now that that's over, we can probably negotiate with them with words." she said, though uncertainty slightly crept up in her voice at the end.

"When I was told that they've tracked me down and would come here, I placed a few traps that would prevent them some pinpoint my location, as well as erm.....lowering their fighting capability. You know, like a thick smoke generator or a radar scrambler. They would know the source would be around this area, but they wouldn't know where, and the more time they spend looking, the more time I have to identify them.....At least, that was the plan. I failed to realize that they would think this is the work of a Radiant" Selene explained "Though not very often, we do seek out the help of a few Radiants in time of need. This unfortunately only increase the distrust of the Reclaimers toward both ourselves and the Radiants. However, unlike us, the Radiants were not a part of our ancient pact, so aggression against them would not be a legitimate reason for our attackers to be punished.

Re: HPU - Richardson Valley
Scruff, who'd been reaching for the drink, put his hand back. "Thanks, Lucky," he said, thinking to ask Sam if he could have one later.
----------------
David raised his hand slightly, then thought better of it. "Ah, you already know what I'm going to say, eh, Selene?" He looked at the beer. "Cafe's serve beer here?" He smiled wryly. "And that wasn't what I was going to say."

Swiping the beer from Selene's hand unnoticed, and placing it back on the table before Scruff.

"Sorry, Scruff," David said, taking the beer back up, "but the wrong person sees you drinking this and we're all in trouble." He handed it back to Selene. "Think Lucky could give you lessons on street magic, love," he told her, a twinkle in his eye.

"Swiper, no swiping!" Fletcher grins, wagging a finger in Lucky's face.
"Swiper, no swiping! Swiper, NO SWIPING!"
"Aye, sorry, Scruff. Beer's a special human drink that makes you talk funny and pass out if you have too much. They restrict it. I'll get Da to give you some tonight if you like. Can't have it in public though." Sam apologises, flagging down a waitress and offering her the beer.
"Excuse me, ma'am, dis got delivered to us by mistake." she explains, covering for Lucky.
"But yeah, I don't tink dey'll be quick to show demselves again, not after we kicked deir butts." Sam opines with more confidence than she feels, returning to the topic at paw once the beer is gone.
"Yeah, what did happen after Jay and I left? You never did say." Fletcher asks, hoping it's not an insensitive question.

"And what about the fires? Did they get brought under control?" Fletcher asks, accidentally putting her paw on Sam's as she gropes for her drink without looking. Both does quickly retract their paws and look elsewhere, trying to hide their respective blushes.
"*Ahem*... Um... You've gone quiet, David. Are you okay?" Sam asks, noticing the dog's taciturnity.
