Dreams (Jess and Jona)

[Jona]

"She meant the plural you," Jona said. "Claw and fang are a good incentive not to waste time messing around. Where is everyone? Why is it so quiet here?"

[Zachary]

" Troubles, one pack is on a mission, there has been a breach of veil and Spirals are ever vigilant" Zachary said matter of factly. Then he looked at Jona a bit tiredly.
" There are only few of us here, and limits are very real"

[Jessika]

Jess shrugs, and returns her attention to the sandwich, which swiftly disappears. Once done, she grabs herself a glass of water, downs it, and turns back to Jona. "Right, I'm gonna go bounce some thoughts off Cat and see if his incomprehensible ramblings are any use. You wanna go see if you can find anyone else to ask about the sword?"

[Jona]

Jona shrugged.
"There's got to be someone useful around here," he said. "I'll ask around."

[Zachary]

Zachary looked to be in thought for a moment and then turned to look at the two Gnawers.
" You should ask the one called Cloud-Dancer about it, or the one called Commands the Tides" he said to them.

[Simeon]

Simeon wandered into the kitchen area and gave the three there a nod in greeting. Looking in the cupboards he found the tin of tea and the sugar, shrugging he took it out. breakfast had never been his forte, and though it wasn't coffee, it would do.

Setting some water to boil he turned to look at the three again. "Don't think we were properly introduce yesterday. Simeon, cliath, gallaird and Strider, at your service." the last bit he did with his standard bow with a flourish of his hands.

[Zachary]

Zachary looked at Simeon a bit embrassedly.
" Excuse me for my stubborness yesterday, Simeon-yuff, I gave my word to my elders, and I... I really am not good with thinking, speaking or deviating from orders" he said and tapped the table nervously.

[Jona]

Jona looked at Zachary with raised eyebrows, but he wasn't really surprised. He turned to look at Simeon when he entered the kitchen.

"Jona," he said, as an introduction, and then went on talking to Simeon and ignoring Zachary. "You know anything about that girl with the sword?"

[Jessika]

"Jess." She giggles slightly at Simeon's flowery gestures. Something about them reminds her of the slightly crazy airs Cat sometimes puts on. "Must be breakfast time." She muses as everyone begins to gather in the kitchen.

[Hands of Mercy]

As if on cue, Hands of Mercy appears from the Umbra in the crowded room. After taking a couple of steps back from Jona, who he'd appeared very close to, he turns to look for something to eat. Finding the kitchen bare, as the others already have, he shrugs, nods to the collected Garou and moves toward the door.

[Simeon]

Leaning up against the counter Simeon waited for the water to boil. Looking over at Zachary he nodded slightly and then spoke quietly “And if those same elders told you to jump off a very, very tall cliff, would you? Just because they are elders doesn’t mean they can’t be questioned. And everything they say or do won’t always be the right course of action. Questioning your elders and pack leader is *not* a job reserved to Ragabash.” He favored the young man with a slight grin. “Lean to think for yourself and not follow blindly, because some day you may find yourself in a situation where the orders you were given will end up getting you killed. A dead Garou can no longer serve Gaia. Death is unavoidable, but shouldn’t be sought willingly.”

He glanced at the boys clothing and then back up at him. “Best get in a pair of jeans, a T-shirt…and if you have backpack…” He half closed his eyes as he made his list “Basically look like a tourist. I guess you can be a cousin or something or maybe we are part of a tour group…will figure that part out as we go.” In Simeon’s mind the matter was done and over with, he just wanted the lad to think and learn to think on his own…and maybe get past what ever drivel his elders had pounded into his mind.

Shifting his attention back to Jona he gave a slight shrug of his shoulder “Not really. She is young, prone to letting her mind wander and not stay focused…and relatively new to me. After we tangled with a nest of Spirals I sustained some wounds serious enough to put me out of action for a bit, she arrived during that time.” Hearing the water start to boil he turned and began to make some tea. Turning back cup in hand he looked back at Jona. “Why do you aks?”

Seeing Hands he gave the other garou a breif nod of greeting, as a part of him wondered who was responsible for supplying the caern with food. Maybe of he made a few calls....

[Zachary]

Zachary shrugged.
"That is what I mean, every time I try to say something, people take it the wrong way. I am not idiot enough to blindly follow orders that could get me killed.." he said.
" But I cannot express myself well without offending someone, that is how it has always been, so I like to keep silent and let the ones who can speak well speak for me" he muttered.

At Simeon's mention of the clothes, Zachary brightened up like a lightbulb.
" I have the clothes in my backbag, Simeon-yuff!" he said and without ado, pulled out old jeans, gray t-shirt, torn sneakers and a baseball cap.
"are these okay?" he asked the Strider.

[Jona]

"You know where I can find her?" Jona asked. At least Simeon seemed to have two brain cells to rub together, unlike the suit, so he tried to get some more information out of him.

"I think she might be able to help us with something we're looking for," he said. "The warder said to listen to our dreams. Jess seems to have had one about the girl with the sword. What's her name again?"

[Simeon]

Simeon gave Zach a nod “Perfect…just wrap the collar about your ankle…lot better than the other option you mentioned last night…less painful too.” He gave the Ahroun a slight grin at that. There was potential there, and Simeon was willing to work with the kid and give him the benefit of the doubt. And maybe, just maybe get him to think a bit on his own, but that would take some time.

“Well, like me…she is currently living of the ‘bounty’ of the caern.” He gave a wry grin as he stressed the word bounty, since the place was close to barren in food. “So, she should be turning up soon as well, in search of a meal….unless of course she has already gotten wind there is none and went out to breakfast. And her name is Katrine.” Taking a sip of his tea he nodded as Jona mentioned dreams. “Dreams can sometimes lead us to very important things. My own led me here… Why Zachary gets ready for our scouting mission why don’t you tell me about it. I have been studying a bit with Walks with Death –Rhya, maybe I can offer some insight or recall a tale that may help.”

[Zachary]

Zachary almost beamed now, and nodded.
" It was only an example, Simeon-yuff, I wasn't really going to do it like that" he said
The boy disappared to the bathroom and began changing his neat clothes to the ones he had brought with him.

( Going to let you guys talk a bit)
