''Two shards of Mother Earth appeared out of nowhere and would have killed us if I hadn't mentioned Mina's and Klesiah's circumstances.'' Damn! Talk about layers of security! ''Despite their certainty with the garden deactivation, Medna druidic instinct led us into its core, and we found a pearl, which took the guardians by complete surprise.''
''Our black cat was saved.''You say, and he nods with a satisfied smile. ''Now came handling the fallouts, huh?''
''Details.'' Adam waves nervously. ''My entire party being nobles of Zipangu and the fact nobody died when we forced our way through is why I'm not rotting in a cell. I'm glad to be out of there. I trust Medna, she'll keep Leena healthy and make sure this consumption of pearls won't be a negotiable issue when the leaders meet.''
<span class="mu-i">''Need is the fuel of miracles'' right true indeed.</span> You're starting to see why Supremes believe that.
''My turn to share, though you'll have to forgive me; I need to be light on some details because I'll likely end up angering people I really don't want to piss off.''
''More than fine with me, Arawn. I'm glad you look well.'' Adam changes position to put his elbows on the table, looking conspiring. ''You were part of something historical. I want to hear your account.''
''Says the man who witnessed the awakening of a dormant Site of Power, that'll likely become a big fat deal in the coming months. You won't believe it, but the witch wasn't the biggest villain of our trouble in Muribel. See, before we met, there was an elven guest at the inn between the two cities...''

Combining your stories took the better part of an hour. You refrain from speaking about Mother Earth and Daiyu's situations. Knowing Armin's existence, what he did to Hao and that little aquatic lizard girl, the assault, all the death in Muribel's capital, then Shereen's decision at the apex of Ama's damnable game made for a sobering tale.
''I feel like she dragged you into this mess of a game for her amusement and shifted her focus on Shereen after finding out she wasn't a boring, pretentious little princess.''
''Mixed feelings is the only way I can describe what goes in my head whenever I look at Ama now.'' Both of you had slowed down, talking -really- make drinks disappears.
''I get ya, trust me. Red woman wants me to father her kid, I sure as shit ain't ready for that, but I'm bound by that fucking oath.'' His cup claps when he sets it down. ''I'm not confident I can take her one-on-one in a fight. It's probably the only thing that'll convince her to give me space. Or time.''
''Because she saw you fight, she won't allow you to get a champion or something, huh?''
''Nope, anyhow, that's not important.'' No Adam, that's actually -very- important, especially with the twins being so damn visible in their affections. Those love eyes tell no lie, good man. ''I wanna show you a little thing.''
