Maariya Genhu casts a short glance over Drybone's square, examining everyone present briefly.
Maariya Genhu slowly kneels down before the stone and dips her head lightly. ''May your light forever shine upon Thanalan and all its people.''

Aryk Rhaal looks around at the crowd, leaning comfortably against the barrels.
Mina Keatley smiles at Aryk Rhaal.
Aryk Rhaal smiles and hops to his feet.
Mina Keatley: "It's not even raining yet! I'm so surprised!"
Aryk Rhaal chuckles. "Good t'see you, Mina."
Aryk Rhaal picks up his pack and shrugs into the straps.
Mina Keatley nods, glancing around at the crowd. She has a basket on one arm. "Lots of people."
Aryk Rhaal: "Aye. Sure an' it's goin' t'be quite the showin'."
Mina Keatley: "Good--I'm looking forward to it. How are you?"
Aryk Rhaal looks around at the crowd again before his eyes return to Mina. "Well, aye. I'll have t'tell you about last night here a' some point. You? You're lookin' lovely, a'course. Not that else was t'be expected."
Mina Keatley smiles vainly. Of course she is. "Thank you, sweeting. I'm well enough. But what do you mean 'last night'?" She looks suspicious.
Aryk Rhaal: "I was on patrol, an' Riven called me in ta escort her an' Carth back t'the Hall. Had a scrap on th'way, we did."
Jancis Milburga: waves a hand bell in the air, ringing cheerfully. "Welcome Pilgrims! Welcome!"
Mina Keatley quirks a brow, but then fall silent, her attention shifting.
Mina Keatley approaches the stone, studying the symbol carved into it.
Aryk Rhaal pays more attention to how Mina studies it for a moment, before finally turning towards it himself.
Aryk Rhaal nods to himself after a time, and wanders around to the back of the stone, leaving Mina to reflect in peace.
Mina Keatley turns away after a silent moment, instead moving to inspect the crystal formation.
Aryk Rhaal smiles. "This is what I wanted you to see."
Mina Keatley nods at Jancis.
Aryk Rhaal smiles.
Mina Keatley: "We wanted to thank you for hosting this event, my lady."
Jancis Milburga: "Thank you for coming, Lady. Lord. It means a lot to everyone."
Aryk Rhaal: "Thank y'so much for hostin', aye."
Mina Keatley: "A pleasure. Thank you for the opportunity."
Jancis Milburga bows her head politely, "You are welcome. Very much so. There is a lot to say for taking opportunities, do you have enough to take back with you to your kin?"
Aryk Rhaal: "Sure an' I'm sorry we didn' make it out until the last one, but I'm glad we came th'this one at th'least."
Mina Keatley nods and waves. "Fortune keep you, lady."
Jancis Milburga looks confused, "I do not understand your need to apologize. But thank you. Both of you travel safely, yes?"
Mina Keatley nods again.
Jancis Milburga: "If you could not make it, then there was something important for you to be at instead."
Aryk Rhaal: "Sure an' you do th'same. An' sorry for th'rain." He grins a bit at the last.

John Waterstrike slows Safire to a stop. "You go and stay out of trouble," he said to the chocobo. He dismount and adjust his coat.
John Waterstrike moves over to Cliodhna, waiting until she had finish with her talk with Chachan.
Cliodhna Eoghan Glances around to see who wants a fan next
John Waterstrike raise his hand. "Cliodhna, if I can get five fans from you?"
Cliodhna Eoghan Glances to her left. "Of course John, " Rummages and finds five, managing to get them in different colors, red, pink, gold, orange, yellow and a more silver tint, all metallic.
John Waterstrike takes them. "Thank you, Cliodhna." He smiles. "How was the honeymoon with Sir Erik?"
Cliodhna Eoghan Snicker, giving John a knowing wink. "Like any other honeymoon you can imagine..."Giggles again. "But we enjoyed it and the location."
John Waterstrike folds them up 4 of the fans, placing them in his pack as he hunts for the bottle of ink and quill to write on his. He pinches the bridge of his nose at Clio's words, already feeling the nose bleed trying to come on. "Must you do that. Lady Flower seems to have a good laugh over it." Yet the smile on his face shows that there is not sting in his words. "I am truly happy for both of you. Please give my regards to Sir Erik."
Cliodhna Eoghan "hey I didn't go into detail....."Holds up a hand innocently. "But yes I will, thank you for the well wishes."
John Waterstrike mutters to himself as he finally finds a quill. "Hm, what to write."
John Waterstrike moves closer to the Warden's stone. "Lady Azeyma, please guide my way on finding knowledge but not to lose sight of those that are dear to me, so that I can guard them in my own way," he writes. He folds the fan, placing it with the others next to the stone, before praying before it.
John Waterstrike moves away from the stone to stop beside Jancis. Kit, herself comes over to coon at greeting up at her.
John Waterstrike: Another beautiful performance, Lady Jancis.
Jancis Milburga beams down at the carbuncle, and kneels down to give her a fond reply back. "Thank you, John." She smiles up at the miqo'te, "Very glad you could be here."
John Waterstrike smiles. "I'm glad I was able to make it." Kit nods her head in agreement. "I already left my pray and fans for the goddess. I'll take the other fans to my friends."
Jancis Milburga: "That is good news! Do you have enough? Byregot's bounty there are so many. Even if it is at dinner together or another quiet night, it shall be a good excuse to spend time with kin."
Jancis Milburga gives Kit another scruffle before standing back up.
John Waterstrike nods. "Titor does not believe in the gods but I will still leave one for him. I hope to give one to Howl and Raimy as well." He close his eyes. "I will leave the last next to little brother...for when he wakes up."
Jancis Milburga smiles at John, "All good reasons. It is not so much of a belief as a way to take care of himself so surely he will see your intent behind it."
Jancis Milburga returns the bow to John, giving him a curious look. "Is something else upon your mind?"
John Waterstrike looks around for Chachan and spots him over near Leanne. Begins to make his way over then pause before turning back to Clio. "Cliodhna, can I have two more fans. One for Judge and one for Lady Marisaie."
Cliodhna Eoghan Smiles at John. "Of course. Any specific color for them?"
John Waterstrike thinks for a moment. "Silver for Judge and perhaps Pink for Lady Mari."
Cliodhna Eoghan "Alright......annnnd....Here you go." Passes over the requested colors after a moment of shuffling the fans in the basket.
John Waterstrike smiles and pockets them in his back. "Thanks Cliodhna."
Cliodhna Eoghan: Of course John.
John Waterstrike turns to Kit. "Kit, come on. I want to get these fans to the others." Kit quickly came over.
John Waterstrike pulls out Safire's whistle. "Have a good evening, Cliodhna." He bows to her before stepping back.
Cliodhna Eoghan: You too John, be careful heading home
John Waterstrike: I will and you as well.
John Waterstrike mounts Safire before stopping near Jancis. "I'm heading out, Lady Jancis. Please have a safe travel home." Frowns a moment, feeling like he was forgetting someone. Looks in his pack, "Four...Six...fans...Should I get one more. Think Titor said Sir Kiht'to was back."
John Waterstrike touch the pearl at his ear. "I'm getting ready to leave the Azeyma's event. I have pick up some fans for you Titor, Raimy, and Khuj'a. Does anyone want me to get one for them?"
Jancis Milburga leans back and looks up at John. "Travel safe, John! Be well until I see you once more." She waits for his answer on the pearl for what she can hear.
Jancis Milburga looks back at John once more, then ties up a small envelope full of fans and offers it to him. "Regardless of their answers?"
John Waterstrike frowns as there is no answer. Well, he could still get Kiht'to one. "Nothing but I'll take one more for Sir Kiht'to."
John Waterstrike: I don't think it will matter on what color it is, Lady Jancis.
Jancis Milburga: "All right. Many like the rainbow then Master John."
John Waterstrike: Yes.
Jancis Milburga hands up the envelope, "Travel safely."
John Waterstrike takes the envelope. "You as well." Pats Safire and they both take off at a hard run.
