“I – uh...”
Lucius was hardly expecting a question in regards to the true nature of the tree. Of course, he had no idea. While he was able to acquire a respectably extensiveness knowledge of various plants, herbs, and their combinations to treat various infliction, he had yet to brush up on such things.
“Yeah, I'd have to show you it I think,” he started with a clear expression of contemplation on his face – an expression that never led to one of realization. It was clear he was stumped. “I – that'd be a great find, but for some reason the giant spruce is probably nothing special – but maybe?”
He shrugged with a sheepish smile and looked around to reclaim his bearings. “Okay,” he muttered as he started in the direction of the guild.

Lucius nodded with a smile, content with all that was said. The Godfather was correct in assuming he'd heard of the guild.
“Oh, yes! I have heard of it. It's the most powerful guild to date. That was kind of unexpected...” He listened and noted mentions of their doings, their location and the name of the tower. It all sounded very impressive. In stark contrast, Lucius was in a guild that was essentially a hand-me-down cottage where everyone either lazes about playing party games or fishing.
There was literally nothing Lucius wanted to mention about his guild out of fear of death via embarrassment. Though, he felt like he should mention something – something that not even Odin's Spear has.
“The tallest tower? It reminds me of a really tall tree we have. It oversees the whole village. If... only someone used it to actually watch over it.” The final part of the sentence was said with a lot less volume than what preceded it.

He nodded in assurance with her confirmation and began to venture towards the town with the intention of entering it via its most commonly used path. Not long from there did the beginnings of a new conversation bud.
“Huh?” he questioned despite nothing having been said yet outside of the following question’s introductory utterance. “That’s exactly where I was headed. To that tree,” Lucius started as his eye darted about his surroundings. “But I think we’re gonna have to speak to them anyway.”
Already were figures peering at them from windows, around partially-opened doors. One braver woman perhaps in her early forties moved from the relative safety of her makeshift home and approached the two.
“Are you two travels?” No introduction, but just a somewhat hastily-spat question with slight overtones of anxiety staining the query.

“Uuh -” Luckily, Lucius did not have to come up with a response to the comment about cake and candles. It was dismissed so fleetly that he found interruption with the response to follow.
“Well, I dunno about that,” he said quietly. His eyes strayed sheepishly away as he was compared to messengers of the gods. He found interest in mention of somebody else that was privy to herbs.
“An associate?” After that explanation, he only echoed that part. The term suggested she was part of a group - was it a guild? He’d forgotten if mention of that happened or not. Regardless, what did not change was the desire to meet with them. “That sounds fine to me. Thanks, it’d be a big help! I’d love to talk about lots-a stuff with her. I’ve had all sorts of ideas to maybe pull in some funds for me and I suppose my guild, but I’d need to know more - probably way more - before I can pull that off.”

Recessional [closed/social]

Sometimes, it was the menial things that drive individuals the most insane. Lucius was rather upset - though, he was within his own company for the most part. He paced about the guild, lifting cushions, painted the surface beneath with a critical, searching eye. A few guild members inquired as to what he was looking for. His behaviour most certainly implied that he was searching for something. They were right.
“That damn quill!” He said in a hushed, albeit exclaimed mutter. Lucius still did not pull his eyes away from the spot they swept through as he answered. He just kept searching until he decided to perform the task later.
Stepping outside, the breeze was invited to furl through his humble attire. He stood there and just closed his eyes momentarily. In doing so, awareness was funneled from the lack of vision onto his nose. He picked up a scent and a familiar one at that, but he wondered where it could possibly be coming from. It was hints that suggested that the individual it belonged to was not at ground level.
Of course, he knew who it belonged to.
Rather suddenly to Koji, Lucius appeared before him as he rose up directly to his front after a burst of flight from below. The wings, an off-shade of white with a blue-ish tincture, were still present as he drifted there. His eyes could not help but light atop the quill. “...oh, there it is,” he said with lacking enthusiasm, an afterthought made verbal on a topic he thought he'd dismissed.

A faint air of anxiety.
Lucius was acutely aware as uncertainty emerged through words forged ostensibly through sheer diffidence. Upon both catching ear and sight of it, his eyelids lowered slightly beneath the weight of his own scrutiny and a knowing smirk surfaced.
“Yeah, you.” He was hardly poking fun - perhaps slightly, but more so rinsed through with an impossible-to-suppress amusement. There was no point in making snide comments concerning the lacking presence of another he could be speaking to. Lucius was perceptive enough to read between the lines, but he found difficulty in accepting somebody being anxious around a stature-challenged creature such as himself.
‘I guess I’m not exactly a familiar face to this girl, eh,’ he thought to himself. His appearance changed and he even adopted another name entirely. Certainly, he also behaved nothing like his other self, seemingly deceased.
“That’s alright. Let’s just play it smart if anything pops up, okay?”

“Oh, wow…” Topaz appeared to be completely taken aback; though, the words that followed proved the felid was easily able to starkly transition from one mood to another with ease. “So there are people out there that do more than sit around and eat watermelon all day…”
Exactly what he was referencing was anybody’s guess, but he hardly dwell on the verbalized thought. Topaz threw his arms into the air, but it was hardly in gleeful celebration. It was more elegant and lowered them to perform something akin to a bow. A smile could not help but manifest.
“I’ll do whatever I can to help if you need it,” he said as he brought his head back up and reopened his eyes. “As you know, though, I’ve recently gotten some snazzy wings. This makes things like deliveries and running errands pretty easy for me. Scouting is also something pretty easy with magic like this.
Oh! I should probably mention I know a bunch about herbalism."

“Sounds pretty awesome, actually,” Topaz began. He cast his gaze downwards and towards the upturned palms of his flux of hand and paw. “But why am I like… blue?” The question was a low mutter, likely not meant to be answered or even heard, really - and found partial interruption anyway as the woman introduced herself.
“Oh, wow. That’s a lot to take in,” Topaz admitted. He closed his eyes and cleared his throat. “Well, nice t’ meet you, Justice… and Anniken. Um - Ja… no, that sounds stupid. A.J.” Topaz nodded as he decided on that particular nickname. “It’s a familiar situation; sort of the state I was in until recently.
“Now we’re one.” Did he just say that? Topaz found it somewhat creepy to say that out loud.
He blushed.
Somehow.
“A-angelic?” Now he just felt stupid. He was surprised he was witnessed by anybody who would be able to recall and recognize him. He was asked a deep question not too far into the conversation, but that caught him so off guard that he could hardly think of anything else.
“W-Well, I can’t change a world like this. That was more of a thing the drunken version of me thought. He was high on stories from an old woman who lived in pre-calamity days. Cities looked huge and not broken apart and crumbling, guilds did menial tasks for those without magical abilities ‘cause why not.” He shrugged. “I can’t imagine that place. I’m not even sure those stories were true stories!
But you asked what I'd do to change the world? Find who or what's behind these beast attacks.” Topaz knew how strange that sounded. Everyone knew the drop in populace gave beasts an opportunity to grow their own population and seize more land as their territory - but was that all? "They're so relentless in their attacks. Almost... too relentless."

“Heh, it’s no problem,” he assured while turning completely around and in doing so, pulling his attention from the merchant and fastening it onto her. He waved a hand to pantomime dismissing the matter and the gratitude he felt was still unearned.
“What, they do?” Topaz stole a fleeting glance reward back towards the merchant. Of course, the salesman was not aware of the eyes Topaz set on him, but they narrowed in a flux of disapproval and choler. “Figures…” He spat in a mutter.
The woman walked away from the crowd. One member brushed away what they thought may have been a fly that had gotten too close to the back of their head. Topaz followed after.
“Your family knew mine?” Topaz summarized. His eyes acquired a greater spark of interest than they possessed when tatters were the literal talk of the town. “Myo… Nyctores. I heard that before. I think he’s who my brother's the spitting image of.” Topaz shrugged, closed his eyes and smirked. “That’s all I really know of him. That two-tailed cat. Probably where all that troublesome magic in me came from.”

His ear twitched just before her face sunk in right next to it. A flash of awareness stormed his facial features. His stare appeared nigh sightless, eyes pulled side in anticipation for something he could not yet comprehend. And then he heard his full name. This prompted a quick head turn, an easily foreseeable reaction, and right when he found himself wanting to utter something along the lines of, 'stupid bitch,' he caught a glimpse into an aura akin to the gravity of a collapsing star.
Oop; but then there was a flash of familiarity. Topaz saw this individual before somewhere.
"Uh - yes?" he managed to squeeze out after hearing his name. The reply was nearly automated, slipped from his face without his notice. 'An honour?' This he questioned to himself in his head. He was unable to fathom why one would say such a thing. To Topaz, he was nothing out of the ordinary or special in any regard.
"We did? Hum. I think I saw you before now that you mention it..." He glanced back to the vendor. "Yeah, I got free time. That guy's probably not going anywhere anyway for a while, so i can look over whatever he' trying to sell later."

A New World, a mission ft. Anniken

MISSION NAME: A New World CLIENT: Odin's Spear CHARACTERS: Closed MISSION BRIEFING: Odin's Spear is looking for potential new members and associates to grow their 'business.' “Come one, come all!” A larger man, mid-forties from what his appearance suggested, threw his hands into the air and attempted to gain the attention of everybody around him. Adjacent was a wagon and horse, presumably his own, and a table lay before him. Umber brown, wooden, it had seen better days - days long-since passed.
“Tatters!” He gestured towards the potato-like objects positioned on the table. There were five laying together in a bunch. Somewhat misshapen with a tendril that sprouted from their bottoms two or three inches. Their overall hue was yellowish. Clearly, the presumed root vegetables were not cooked.
“These just need boiling water to cook. Very satisfying and cheap!” He went on and on and gathered a humble crowd. Unbeknownst to them, this man already visited villages prior. He left many ill for after a while, the difficult-to-digest ‘tatters’ began wreaking havoc on the digestive system. However, money was money.
One person that had gathered was Topaz wearing his usual humble ensemble. He looked on with an expression passable as interest.
