Stone's Throw

[Andreas Amell]

Not really, no. I mean, no offense, but other than your two siblings, your life seems to suck really badly. "Well," he temporizes, pausing to come up with a better response. "Having a day off, so to speak, could be appealing," he allows. "I'm just not sure how we could pull it off without you getting caught."

[Charon Tethras]

"We're not that different," he protests. 

[Andreas Amell]

"There are a few things," Andreas replies in dwarven. Then, in elven, he adds, "the state of our fur, our manner of speech and my familiarity with everyone to start."

[Charon Tethras]

"What's wrong with my fur?" he protests in common.

[Andreas Amell]

"You speak elven? That will help," Andreas replies in catfolk, then switches to draconic, "how about this one?"

[Charon Tethras]

He shakes his head. "I only know a little elven. Greetings, body parts, stuff like that."

[Andreas Amell]

"Ah." Andreas takes a bit of steak, chewing thoughtfully. "That's... an issue. I speak mostly dwarven at home-- at my Grandparent's technically-- and mostly elven at my Aunt Seli's. Draconic is just standard in Nyra, given the whole 'most arcane' language thing. And catfolk is, well, expected, I guess?" He frowns, taking another quick bite. "Maybe... hmm. If we wait two days, my grandparents and mother are going on a trip for a couple of months. If you can buckle down on elven as best you can... avoid magic talk..." 

[Charon Tethras]

"Oh, I know magic."

[Andreas Amell]

"Likely better than I, especially in the technical aspects, but can you discuss it in draconic?"

[Charon Tethras]

"No, but I can in Necril."

[Andreas Amell]

Andreas stares a moment, then slowly nods. "Right, no, that makes sense. Won't work, but makes total sense. Huh. Grandpa would love to talk with you like that, but I don't speak a word of it so there'd be a few questions."

[Charon Tethras]

Charon nods slowly. "Maybe I can meet your grandfather separately, later. He sounds.... he's the Light, right?"

[Andreas Amell]

"Yes and yes. Actually, that's the only reason why this has a shoot at all; he, his spouse, and my mother are all traveling to Raplin's Oak-- oh, that's a druidic enclave a day or so from here-- for a couple of weeks."

[Charon Tethras]

"...a...druidic enclave?"

[Andreas Amell]

"Umm. It's... okay, imagine a shrine or temple, then picture a small town build up around it. But it's druids instead of priests."
