Second Darkness: Children of the Void [IC]

[Farmerbink]

Maggie blinks in surprise at Sol's declaration. "What?" She stammers, visibly agitated. "Your gods or spirits need to wake up! Or you need to get up earlier! " Clearly, this is not quite the same pleasant and talkative Gnome that made the trip across the ocean the day before.

She stews irritably, actually pacing as Sol continues his preparations, unconcerned for her complaints. She takes several paces away (while Scruff placidly snorts along behind), murmuring and complaining as he tinkers at his "stupid trinkets and baubles..."

She almost visibly jumps at Tsyra's question, and she turns an irritated gaze on the Elf, only to come up short, a playful (if not entirely friendly) look on her face. "Well that's kind of a silly question, isn't it? You were here the whole time, too. The skies never opened up; no grand gesture of spirit nor god came upon us."

The suddenly capricious Gnome spreads her hands to gesture all around. "Yet there are Dwarf Men too scared to venture into the forests, and vermin the size of my leg skittering about! Something is very wrong here, but you'll have to ask me later whether or not it's foresight, or just plain old sight." At the last, the veneer finally breaks, and a genuinely mirthful giggle bubbles forth. Maggie, cheerful as ever, winks at Tsyra, before glancing past the woman at Sol's continued preparations. She scowls fiercely as she turns away, gazing wistfully at the distant shore.
