::Spring pulls away, but still holds Aegils hand. Even this tiny bit of distance is enough for the Spectre to begin to come back and for Aegil to feel the rush of her touch to fade to only being in her arm...::
"Mother is busy. She created me to help her, but I dont think I can do it on my own. I came here to try and find a way across the sea, but then everything went wrong with the animals and those people..."
Silent as a shadow on padded feet...

The shadow crept back to her feet. Aegil found herself shaken from the experience, and a strange unfamiliar desire to hang on to this girl. Her questions tumbled out before she could stop them, and she cursed herself for losing her perfect calculated control like that. "Created you? For what? What are you helping with? What lies across the sea?" Her other hand tensed around her staff slightly.

Aegil was asking enough questions for the both of them, all of which had crossed Tauer's mind. If the girl had been created with the purpose of helping her mother, why would she doubt her ability to fulfill those duties? And what lay across the sea? The prince only knew of his homeland of Broodenberg, but that was far, far away.
"I heard those people. They wished me dead! What if they had found me? They may have, had it not been for you two.
I don't know what I have to do. Mother said to go south across the water and there I would know what must be done. But I don't even know how to get there! Even I know you can't walk across water. It all sounds crazy!"
::Tears began to well in her eyes again and she leaned into Aegil to seek more comfort. Again the feeling of warmth and being alive filled her at the contact and again the Spectre retreated as if repulsed by the girl's touch::

Aegil looked torn. She wanted to help this girl, but she knew she had no money nor influence to charter a ship. Still, there had to be SOMETHING she could do... Carefully she slipped her cloak off and wrapped it around the girl, drawing the hood down to hide her figure and features. "Here... at least this will keep you from being recognized for now..." She felt strangly nervous and suseptible to being attacked without her cloak, and the fact her shadow curled as far as possible from her and against the wall didn't help, but she wanted no harm to come to Spring.

Tauer [M:150:160:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=540&page=1#18960][b]While the Light's away, the Shadows will play.[/b]
Tauer had as much money and influence as Aegil, but he did have experience working on board a ship. That was how the demon had originally travelled to Wistvale, after all. Surely they could find a captain who is heading across the ocean, willing to take on some temporary shipmates.
"How long do you have, Spring? It may take some time to find a ship."
::She wrapped herself tight in Aegil's cloak and gave her a thankful smile.::
"Mother didn't give me a time, only a place I must go. I can wait here if you need to go find a... ship.
What IS a ship?"
Silent as a shadow on padded feet...

"It's a way to travel across water. You're definitely in for a treat. I hope you don't get seasick."
GRIN.

Aegil suppressed a grimace at the thought of a ship. "I've never travelled by one myself.." she forced a smile on her face for Springs sake. "But I'm sure it will be fun..."

"Sounds grand! Thank you for helping me. Shall I wait here till you get your ship ready?"
Silent as a shadow on padded feet...
Tauer [M:150:160:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=cs&thread=540&page=1#18960][b]While the Light's away, the Shadows will play.[/b]
"Just make sure you stay out of sight. The townsfolk are still out there looking for you."
And with that, Tauer went off to do what he could do.
Aegil [M:53:440:][D3v:http://rpgmenagerie.com/index.cgi?board=cs&action=display&thread=853]Everything Casts A Shadow...[0:In a rare occurance I am unavailable][1:As usual I am available]
Aegil decided to stay with Spring, and though she herself was rather new to the area, she offered the two of them take a walk around. With the cloak over Spring she would likely be easier to hide, and Aegil was oddly anxious about abandoning her new companion. "Just... low profile alright?" a smile tugged her lips a fraction. "No more bringing life to peoples catches..." she fixed the girl with a stare to make sure she understand.

::the two of them wandered off down the street as Tauer worked at making arrangements for passage on a ship. Such arrangements are going to take some time as finding a ship willing to make the passage to the land to the south is difficult and finding one willing to do so with at least one woman on board even more so...::
((Stopping this part of the adventure here to give some "Downtime" for things to be put in order for the voyage and will restart soonish to allow others to come along, should they wish to))
5 acclaim and 50gp to all involved up to this point.
