Em listened to them all and nodded at each of their words and ideas. Grinning slightly at Katrine "A most sensible suggestion young Ragabash." Then turning her attention to the Gaffling. "Can you tell us where to find Hrafnsmerki ?" As she spoke she slipped her one hand to pick up the polished jasper, showing it to the gaffling like one would show candy to a child.

The gaffling blinked and looked at the jasper, then back at Emelie. It seemed to accept the deal, and hopped forward to take it.
"I can take you," it said.

Em was positively beaming at that answer. Leaving her hand open for the gaffling to take the jasper, she looked at the others and related the last bit. "The Gaffling will lead us to Hrafnsmerki. So, as soon as we are all ready."

"Hold on a minute," Jona said in response to Katrine's suggestion. "If it can show us where to find the weapon, we need to sort a few things out first. Will you excuse us?"
He looked a little uncertain about breaking the circle, but then it wasn't like the raven gaffling would just disappear if he did. The summoning itself was over. He stepped over to Jess and spoke to her quietly, so that only she could hear.
(Aside conversation, no eavesdropping!) "I appreciate their help, a lot," he said. "But this... mission, it's a pack thing. What I'm saying is, we can't go running off into Umbra following a gaffling if we don't know who we're dealing with. These kids seem like a bunch of lone wolves and they'll just put us and themselves in danger. First, we should ask Merlin if he'll extend his patronage to them."
He paused and looked at Emelie. Sure he'd only just met her, but they were all fighting a war on the same side. The whole getting to know each other bit, that came later. "I say we ask her. She seems smart. Our pack could use a Galliard and a Ragabash as well," he said. "And this weapon thing, it's a Fenrir fetish. We should ask those two as well."

Zachary smiled at Emelie, despite his embarassment at picking a bit too good of a spot on accident, he appericated theurges a lot. " I will offer my knife and my body to protect you all" the ahroun said, and took out a knife. It wasn't what one might call a dagger, it wasn't even a machete. It was a kitchen knife with glyphs embed into it. Zachary seemed very eager to jump out to the adventure.

"If you need me, I will go as well," Katrine said.
The raven gaffling hopped up to Emelie and with its beak, picked up the jasper. Then it took another leap and landed on her shoulder, where it stayed until the others decided what to do.

"Hmm... you're right. We need a pack to do this, not a bunch of loners working together." She also looks at Emelie. "She's definitely got potential, if I can get her to see most of it's decoration. Dunno about the rest yet. But I guess we'll get time for that."
Jess looks around at the area surrounding them then back to Jona. "Well, you're the boss, you ask them. I'll see if our tricksy totem's around here somewhere to ask." She shifts through into lupus and trots a little way off towards the woods before calling out in the spirit's tongue.
"Hey, Merlin, you there? kinda need to ask you some important questions." Then she cokcs her head to one side and awaits a response.

Once again, Hands of Mercy is torn between offering to follow this quest or taking another path. He looks around the group and eventually settles on a decision. There were five Garou heading off to find this weapon, and Simeon would be scouting his target alone if Hands of Mercy didn't go with him. "I already have a task for this evening," he says, "though I would be very keen to hear what tales you return with." He steps back from the circle as he speaks.

"Ok," Jona said. "Although it might be better if we ask an elder here to perform the rite of the totem binding. I'll talk to them."
As Jess left, he turned to Katrine and Emelie. If he was disappointed that Hands of Mercy had decided to opt out, he didn't show it.
"Jess and I have discussed things," he said. "We can't really go charging off into the unknown without having the bonds of a pack keeping us together. So in other words, would you like to join our pack? We are children of Merlin, hunters of hidden lore and ancient secrets. We'd be honoured if you two were to join us, and this would make our search for the weapon... safer."

As Jona spoke to Emelle and Katrine, Zachary tried his best to keep calm. It was hard, but he didn't want to start another scene. He looked Emelle,well, this was a good chance as any to introduce himself. "Uh,miss, I'm Born from Dark Wish, Shadow Lord Ahroun cliath. Excuse me for not introducing myself before" he said,looking as embarassed as he always did.

Emilie nodded in greeting to Zach, though her attention was rather fixed on the raven on her shoulder, after all they were rather large birds and even here the gaffling took up a large portion of her shoulder. "Emilie 'Moon Crow' Baldwin...cliath of the Children of Gaia and thuerge." She added the last bit even though it was unneeded after this. "And understandable."
Turning a bit as she heard Jona approach she smiled and nodded. this was proving to be too easy, after all she was seeking a pack and the fact this one liked to seek out lore...It sent a thrill through her, secrets, lore, this was her bread and butter. Ka-ha-ska or Mooncrow to those outside the sept of Two Thunders had often waggled a finger at her and accused her of having Uktena blood because of this.
"I would be very pleased and honored with this." She did her best to keep her voice level but the excitement in her eyes betrayed her, she was a kindred spirit and she already liked the packs concept. "But, we may wish to do it after we find Hrafnsmerki, Gafflings may be more intelligent than a house hold pet. No offense. " As she stoked the raven's head and smiled at it. " They have short attention spans. And as you may have noticed from this fellow's entrance, his attention span can shift very fast. We should move quickly before something else catches his eye."

Jess searched around for a while, but couldn't find any sign of their totem spirit. There were a lot of other spirits, though, and of course Cat was there. As soon as she left the group, he padded up to her and followed her around.
Katrine considered Jona's offer and nodded. "Thank you for the offer," she said, deciding to think about it. "But I think she is right, we should not waste time. Zach and I can go talk to Commands-the-Tides-rhya and see if he knows anything more about the banner. You three should be fine following the Raven gaffling. Good Luck."
(On second thought, I'm not going to ST Katrine through the entire chapter. Go on without her.)

Zachary looked at Katrine. " Thank you, Many Shadows-yuff" he said. After the day's horrible happenings, the ahroun was glad that one cliath of the caern still was willing to help him. But the fear of letting the three others run into danger did make him wary. " If you need help, howl" he said, then turned to look at Katrine and headed to find his elder.

Jona gave a dry and short laugh. Funny how everyone suddenly opted out as soon as he mentioned a bit of commitment. It seemed the Fenrir Alpha was right to be worried about this bunch. Well, if he was true to his word he'd come by and kick their arses soon enough. He looked at Emelie, the only one who hadn't run off at the prospect of joining a pack. "I'm sure we can keep him busy until we get bound as a pack," he said. "The Umbra is best travelled at night. And we should discuss chiminage, and let the elders know where we're going at least. You know, in case we don't come back or something." He grinned, but he was partly serious about that.

Jess pads back over toward the others, and shifts back into Homid. "Don't think he's here. Would've speeded things up if he was, but I guess we'll need to find someone to get it done formally." She quite noticeably rolls her eyes at the last suggestion.
