Ashmira Honzen: "Well. The song was quite delightful."
Ashmira Honzen fishes in her pockets with a thoughtful frown, rummaging through a satchel.
Ashmira Honzen watches the line of people curiously, studying each.
Ashmira Honzen looks curiously to Angora, lips quirking up. "Ah, how fare you?"
Angora Khilo looks over to Ashmira. "I am well. Much better then when we last met. The wound is nearly completely healed thanks to your help, Ms. Ashmira. And you? How are you?"
Ashmira Honzen smiles crookedly. "I am well enough. I had thought to ask whether you would like more of the oil to assist with any lingering aches or tension in your flesh..."
Angora Khilo tilts her head. "I'd certainly be happy to have more of it if you have some to offer."
Ashmira Honzen: "Of course. I use it quite often myself."
Ashmira Honzen rummages in her satchel, taking out a small vial of golden oil that just barely catches the dim light. She holds it up to Angora.
Angora Khilo smiles and takes the vial, tucking it away into her pocket. "There really is no way I can thank you enough for what you've done for me, Ms. Ashmira. If you ever need anything, I am sure Mr. Tiergan can help you get in contact with me."
Ashmira Honzen: "I haven't need for much, in frankness. It seems you and yours are oft beset by trouble, and I would be keen to continue to offer my efforts in assistance."
Angora Khilo nods. "And I do hope we will continue to be lucky enough to have your help in the future. Mr. Tiergan and Brother are about as bad, if not worse, then me when it comes to getting into trouble."
Ashmira Honzen: "So I have noticed... I encountered your brother before I knew what had occurred between them."
Ashmira Honzen frowns a little. " 'twas... an odd situation."
Ashmira Honzen: "In truth, we may need to speak on it."
Angora Khilo scratches her ear. "Yes...Though I believe it is resolved. For now at least. I am always willing to speak with you, Ms. Ashmira. Just tell me when and where."
Ashmira Honzen: "It is more on your brother's condition than the situation with he and Tiergan."
Ashmira Honzen: "I have... some concerns."
Angora Khilo frowns and shifts. "...I see. Then I suppose that would be better talk for somewhere...private."
Ashmira Honzen: "Mm, mayhaps. One might hope I am mistaken in my worry. But, you are about him more than I. Perhaps soon?"
Angora Khilo nods. "Of course. I believe those...moogles are able to find me anywhere. So send me word when you wish to speak."
Ashmira Honzen: "I will, yes. Though for now I think I shall join the line."
Ashmira Honzen smiles and murmurs absently, "Some fashion of calling."
Angora Khilo nods and bows. "I will see you soon, then."
Ashmira Honzen: " 'til then. Let me know if aught should go amiss."
Ashmira Honzen: "Stars watch you."
Ashmira Honzen shifts into the line, tugging something from her pocket and holding it tight in her palm.
Ashmira Honzen glances at those ahead of her, then beyond to the monk at the end. She shifts a little, eyes bright.

Ashmira Honzen glances over her shoulder. "Ah, are you here for a blessing? You may proceed ahead of me if you so wish, I am not quite seeking such."
Ashmira Honzen shivers a little, straightening again.
Ashmira Honzen waits patiently, fingers encircling something.
Ashmira Honzen breathes out slowly, adjusting her clothes with a quick glance up at the 'roof' of the cave.
Ashmira Honzen smiles quietly. "Good day, Jancis."
Jancis Milburga smiles and reaches out to squeeze Ashmira's arm with both hands, "Thank you for coming."
Ashmira Honzen squeezes Jancis' shoulder in turn. "Of course, dear devout. I find myself quite impressed by your vigor in these endeavors."
Jancis Milburga: "That I keep upon my feet while people share their heart before everyone? It is a blessing every time. Have things been well? There has been words of you helping others with their own vigor and health."
Ashmira Honzen: "Have there? I do what I can. I came in part tonight for the heavens' call."
Jancis Milburga: "Was it what you expected, then?"
Ashmira Honzen: "Mm, by most parts. I did offer what I felt the astral strings tugged... and how fare you, dear Jancis? Your health was not the best at the last we spoke."
Jancis Milburga bows her head a minute before letting it bob. "You speak of vigor and I have taken quite a bit of time to regain it. Sir Eruantien has been in some duress himself and I have come to understand a new... link? Between others I am close to and complete strangers. The true cost of it has been my distance. Forgive me."
Ashmira Honzen: "Is there aught you've need of, then? I am aware of some of the circumstances surrounding him, though not all."
Jancis Milburga: "Only that he was called away from helping Caen. He would not say otherwise, which I have come to understand is a habit of his."
Ashmira Honzen smiles wryly. "Ah, is that so? Alas. All the same, we shall lend what we can, mm?"
Jancis Milburga: "Yes! Agreed. Sometimes it is more needed when people are quiet about it. Particularly him."
Jancis Milburga: "What of things on your side? Any luck with your explorations? And with your brother?"
Ashmira Honzen: "We are... mostly well. I found myself entangled in some matters of the Shroud's wellbeing. Edda was injured and is yet not wholly well. I have done what I can, but..."
Ashmira Honzen frowns and fidgets with a ring.
Ashmira Honzen: "Circumstances I am unaccustomed to. All the same, I must do what I can."
Jancis Milburga looks concerned, "Has she used her own abilities to tend to those wounds?"
Ashmira Honzen: "The wounds are knit, but the strain on her lungs is... mending, slowly."
Jancis Milburga closes her eyes a minute, "Lady Edda will grow pale and develop a fever if she tries too hard. Am glad you shared it with me; hopefully your help will not let it come to that. Surely, more so." She tries to encourage herself. "Yes, surely. Has been Moons since that and much has changed."
Ashmira Honzen: "She has been resting and I have been attending to her, I assure you."
Jancis Milburga: "I am beyond grateful. What is that ring you wear?"
Ashmira Honzen: "Hm? Which?"
Ashmira Honzen looks down at her hands which, as always, are covered in rings.
Jancis Milburga points to one in particular, "This one. You were moving it about."
Ashmira Honzen: "Ah, that one. It has been imbued and at times the aether within it stirs."
Jancis Milburga: "A keepsake, then? I have heard of such rings."
Ashmira Honzen: " 'tis one I designed in part. Many of them have been altered at my hand for various purposes."
Jancis Milburga smiles, "Master Vann has spoken about such. He is a great crafter, mayhaps he would be happy to hear of your work sometime. Your touch is a bit more delicate in ways. Do you, ah, consider them instruments then, or tools?"
Ashmira Honzen: "Mmm... enhancements, shall we say? Aetherial gilding, in a fashion."
Jancis Milburga nods, repeating her words quietly. "Brings out the best in you. Though, dare think you do that well enough on your own. Cards must be in like then. What about yourself? How do you see that? As either instrument?"
Ashmira Honzen: "How I see the cards..? Mm, it--"

Ryanti Veanysus: "Pardon the sudden intrusion, I just merely wanted to thank you for doing good for Eorzea and her people."
Ashmira Honzen murmurs to Jancis, "We can speak in a moment," and slips away.
Jancis Milburga follows Ashmira's eyes and bows politely, "You are very welcome, Lord. I am glad you stayed. Initially you seemed fairly annoyed at the time you arrived. 'It is never too late to be what you might have been.' Or , ah, or so it is said."
Ryanti Veanysus shifted a little bit awkwardly at the mentioning of his frustration. "Yes, I.. am sometimes tardy. It can be difficult to avoid self-loathing if it is your own fault for missing on the performances you look forward to. But I suppose everything happens for a reason. Rhalgr would not attend to Nyemia if he did not believe such things either."
Jancis Milburga smiles with some awe, "Well said, Lord! Is a honor to be with some well spoken. These, ah, times Rhalgr would be remiss if all we did was not reflect on them together. This sun was not free to be had; always a much higher cost. So thank you, even though not here others will have stories."
Jancis Milburga: "In fact, it would be nice to have more, even if it only one here or there, to spread to those who could not make it at all. Do you share your own thoughts and tales just as well as your reflection?"
Ashmira Honzen extends a hand, palm just barely touching the stone, simply standing there.
Ryanti Veanysus couldn't help but chuckle a little bit at her assessment. Blood became fresh in his cheeks as those words had an effect on him coming from an equally well-spoke woman. "I am a many of many thoughts, and those thoughts often form words. If you are the kind to spread faith, than accept my own, and be reassured that my speech is shared as lovingly as my reflection."
Jancis Milburga: "Thank you. That is a wonderful thing. I think. I, ah, it is a lot to move people so to walk in a Moon where some of these feelings can be shared daily. Will gladly accept yours and your words; has only been a short time that I have been able to hear others and their thoughts. Dare say it is quite wondrous to talk."
Ryanti Veanysus beamed a smile at her, sharing the same passion for expressing words and feelings as she did, and one could see it through his eyes. He placed a hand upon his heart as he spoke further. "Then accept this; I was touched by the words of the people here, and I will spread them as far and wide as I can."
Jancis Milburga: "I did glimpse you spoke with Sir Armstrong. If I may be so bold to ask, what are you to take with you from here? Did you have any expectation?"
Ryanti Veanysus nodded in response to her statement about Armstrong, a heavy breath leaving him. Whatever it was, it mattered greatly. "I am to take with me the faith that I am strong. That I am capable to handle any challenge before me, and bring destruction to both my enemies that stand before me, and my own weaknesses that stand to sabotage me. I wish I could explain it further, but I'm afraid I cannot."
Jancis Milburga: "Does seem He works more in emotion than pure words; you said it far better than others could. You were standing with Sir Armsbreaker, yes? He mostly speaks the same way."

Ashmira Honzen smiles at Jancis, tilting her head.
Jancis Milburga: "Will you be heading back to the Mist shortly? Or still time to talk?"
Jancis Milburga looks over to Jana, "Have you met Ashmira, Lady Ridah? Or you have need of something? If there is anything I can get for you, would be happy to."
Jana Ridah gives Jancis a little wave. "I've not met her, was just going to give my farewells."
Jancis Milburga: "Where do you travel to now?"
Ashmira Honzen squints at Jana. "Bronco Juice," is all she says. "That purple was rather nice on you."
Jana Ridah: Back to the city... Ul'dah, I mean. Need to prepare some supplies for a dangerous job tonight-
Jana Ridah sputters. "I was just in the background!"
Jana Ridah: It was- Oh!
Ashmira Honzen arches her brows.
Jana Ridah: Your shoes! Did ser Chachanji return them to you?
Ashmira Honzen: "He did, yes."
Ashmira Honzen smiles wryly.
Jana Ridah: Ah, I'm glad. I didn't recognize you right away... This is a much different setting than when we first met.
Jancis Milburga smiles at the term, clearly showing a bit of naive wonder. "I have seen the pictures. It was quite wonderful to see you. I did keep it. With you and Sir Gegenji. Shall always treasure it; it must be a wonderful elixir."
Jana Ridah: Ah, um. You'll have to ask one of Verad's company to try it sometime.
Ashmira Honzen laughs quietly. "I did the makeup and hair for Jana and Edda's pictures."
Jancis Milburga: "I surely will."
Jancis Milburga: "Did bring out Menphina's Grace! To glow like the moon.
Ashmira Honzen chuckles. "My vanity has its benefits."
Ashmira Honzen: "But do continue your conversation with Jancis!"
Ashmira Honzen grins.
Jancis Milburga brings her hand up, blurring the smile on her face, and nods. "Well with the ease of this reunion I trust the dangerous job is not alone or out of your abilities. They have honed well, after all."
Jana Ridah: Ah, this is true. Hopefully, an airship crash doesn't make the paper tomorrow morning.
Jana Ridah: ...Or at least not two airship crashes.
Jancis Milburga frowns with concern at the news. "That is, ah, half better? Regardless take extra care. Shall linger about the Jewel for the night as it is, mayhaps there will be word on the streets of it."
Jana Ridah: I suspect it will take time, as we're not setting out from the city, but over Mor Dhona. Airship crashes are rare now since Operation Archon, though... Especially ones in aerial dogfights.
Jancis Milburga: "Thaliak's Grace... "
Jana Ridah: I went and helped design a new type of artillery shell, and with my tome, am going to act as artillery myself. I'll just have to hope our defenses are enough to handle the enemy's shot.
Jancis Milburga: "Rhalgr willing, it will be."
Jana Ridah: I'm not sure which of the Twelve was the shie- Oh, it's Halone, isn't it?! We're going to have an Ishgardian Dragoon on-board, maybe that will help.
Jancis Milburga nods and corrects herself, "Quite right. Thaliak, too, you have knowledge about such things. Not to panic. Keep others safe. Someone that can be trusted." She reaches out, "Have proven it many times over."
Jana Ridah tenses up, but doesn't recoil. "I'm not the most suited to act as a shield, but I will try to keep it in mind this time."
Jancis Milburga: "More to not shoot blindly; trust the shield and when your work goes off might not even have need for one. I should not delay your preparation, forgive me."
Jancis Milburga: "Pray return safe."
Jana Ridah: it's not a big deal, just need to pick up the shells I had commissioned. It's not regulation, but hopefully they work well tonight and I can show the design to some of my contacts in the Immortal Flames... What about you? What've you been up to?
Jancis Milburga takes a slow breath, "Is an Ala Mhigan man I have been assisting with a peculiar kind of corruption. Not voidsent, something to bring out his weakness. The shadows be it men or magic hampers me of late." She lifts her shoulder, "Forgive me it has been mostly recovery. Suns like these are paid for with great costs on all sides. Oh, and Ashmira here has shown me something of the stars. Althyk willing, can learn more from her on understanding them."
Ashmira Honzen: "If you are interested, I would be happy to show you."
Jancis Milburga: "I would be! Very much so. Thaliak knows I will not have such a grasp as you, but it is important to pursue knowledge."
Jana Ridah starts digging about in her small side bag. "I actually developed a method to transfuse clean aether into a person to purge the taint of the void once. I'm not sure you'll have the materials for it, though. Needs a lot of fresh blood that still has the aether in it, so you need aethertight containers..."
Jancis Milburga: "Fresh blood? I am use to making antivenoms... does sound like a slow process but I am not un-use to it if the idea is the same. Shall have to look into these containers..."
Jana Ridah digs out a small notebook and flips through it, ripping out some pages and offering them to Jancis. "I have copies of the notes I made, maybe this will help you. I'm not sure if your conjury will work as well with it as my arcanima, though... I'm used to working with the flow of aether in a body."
Jancis Milburga takes the pages with a murmured 'thank you' her eyes quick to look at them over with interest. "I will see what I can do. If not, shall seek you out! This knowledge might make the difference needed." She folds up the sheets and carefully tucks them away. "The only other part is getting Barengar to attempt it; he is, ah, fairly stubborn."
Jana Ridah: Ah, the name is unfamiliar with me. My method is a bit... Unorthodox, though. I wish you good luck.
Jancis Milburga nods in agreement, "Good luck."
Jana Ridah: Nice seeing you again, miss Ashmira. Good day to you both.
Ashmira Honzen: "And to you as well. Stars look upon your path."
Jancis Milburga: "Until we see one another again."
Jana Ridah: -Ah, right! Dunno if it's proper, but... "Rhalgr guide your blows."
Jana Ridah gives a last wave as she turns to leave.
Jancis Milburga smiles.
Ashmira Honzen chuckles quietly.

Jancis Milburga looks at Ashmira curiously.
Ashmira Honzen quirks a brow back, smiling.
Jancis Milburga: "You always find a reason to smile."
Ashmira Honzen: "Oh, I do try."
Ashmira Honzen: "Are you not the same, dear Jancis?"
Jancis Milburga admits, "There is so much to smile for. 'Let my soul smile through my heart and my heart smile through my eyes, that I may scatter rich smiles in sad hearts.' ... read that once and now out here with everyone the words come to life."
Ashmira Honzen: "There you have it. And always with kind words for others."
Jancis Milburga: "They are not always kind! Many a time the truth cannot be; much as I wish it so."
Ashmira Honzen: "Yet a kindness, though. Some refuse to be honest and that is a cruelty unto itself and others."
Jancis Milburga concedes, "Well said."
Ashmira Honzen laughs merrily, grinning at Jancis. "And yet you strain yourself so... mayhaps I shall find some way to ease your burden in a small way."
Jancis Milburga: "My burden... Ashmira if I knew what to ask in help, would gladly share it. You have special sights though, mayhaps you will find something I cannot. Like something on my back for example."
Ashmira Honzen smiles faintly, peering Jancis over. "Perhaps a reading would elucidate in some fashion... though I've notions of my own."
Jancis Milburga: "Either way I trust your judgement...I do not mean to tax you."
Ashmira Honzen: "I would rather be taxed than do naught."
Ashmira Honzen waves a hand with a grin.
Jancis Milburga beams at Ashmira, "Taxed than do naught."
Ashmira Honzen: "I suppose we are of a mind on that, hm?"
Jancis Milburga: "Verily."
Ashmira Honzen: "But, as I said, I will see if aught can be done to offer you some small comfort. But do come to me if you have any manner of ailment. I would do what I can to relieve it."
