Re: PRELUDE - A Note From An Old Friend
Daeith is about to say something, and step back again, but then Shumba gulps down the jub-jub juice. He has seen some things, but really, this is pretty foul, and selfimposed, that's what Daerith can't stomach. "Next time I'll be more specific about what sort of fights I want in the arena." He points at the small pouch around Shumba's neck, "Just don't bring that with you, I swear if you spit on Lady Vanderboren's carpets the job will be off, and you'll owe her for cleaning costs, and I know you can't aford it. Not with the taste her family has." He steps back to the gate, "I'd bring your gear with you, never know what sort of timeline we'll be working with either, sounded pretty important, and since she's a friend of mine, I don't want to screw this up for her, got it?"

Initially, Shumba looks absolutely appalled as he is suddenly taken back with the sternness of Daerith's tone. The young half-orc has never seen the wizard grow so stern or callous before and it quickly catches him off-guard. Nevertheless, Shumba's face quickly resumes its casual demeanor and he merely continues to smile disturbingly whilst secretly admiring the elf's blatant show of force. "I gots it mon," he then replies, "Shumba will be on his best behavior - don't joo worry none! Heck, I'll even wear me sum shoes mon!"

"I don't know, Mister Daeith. The juice seems to be all natural. It can't be all bad. It may in fact put nutrients back into nature. Although I do believe it would be wise to keep it internal to yourself, Shumba, at least until we are finished with our invitation." Lorien says, sticking up for his most like minded friend in the group.
His sharp eyes and slightly pointed ears are always aware of what is going on therefore it was surprising when something of the urgency to include a Ranger and Druid would occur. Was something unbalancing the way of things? Does something threaten the surrounding area including the waters or jungles? Maybe this visit will produce some answers. He is not thrilled with spending another night in this so called "civilization" but his dwelling will still be in the jungles when he decides to leave this unpleasant city.
