> Look back up.
> "To be honest, I believe she would have. There has been more than one occasion over these past two days where she dearly wanted to use force but did not because I told her not to. She even asked permission first once, instead of charging ahead and forcing me to stop her, and it was when I was in no position to stop anyone from doing anything."

>"I suppose I was mistaken, then," says Amaya, bowing her head. "Did she really strike at Miss Izayoi first?"

[Kilgamayan]

> "I do not know. In the midst of seeing what my weakness had wrought, I forgot to ask."

[Hello Purvis]

> "I do not know. In the midst of seeing what my weakness had wrought, I forgot to ask."

>Amaya nods. "I understand. This is what I've heard, and felt they had no need to lie about it."

> "If it was done, then it was still done with my permission. My mindset at the time had been to prioritize the freedom of our people, and this ended up overtaking me and causing me to make rash decisions. I could have told the Eldest Daughter to avoiding fighting entirely, or avoid fighting unless provoked, but I allowed my desire to free our people turn into disgust for those in control of them, and I decided to effectively look the other way on potential violence against them. This is my failing, not the Eldest Daughter's."

>Amaya nods. "I don't feel the issue is quite so simple, but I think I understand how you feel."

>"I'm sure you'll be able to make amends," says Amaya.

[Momiji]

> "I certainly hope. The way things have gone recently seem to suggest such has already happened, anyway."

[Momiji]

[Hello Purvis]

> "If I may ask a more personal question, how have you felt, living here for the past couple of days?"

>"I have not been overly perturbed," says Amaya. "Aside from how we've met, Miss Hong has not been a bad person to spend the time with."

[Momiji]

> Nod.
> "Miss Meiling is a good person, yes. I am glad to hear all this. Your individual positive experience will make the collective choice of the people of these islands all the more informed."

[Momiji]

> "I will not ask you anything further on the issue, for fear of potential conflict of interest on either of our parts."
> "Anyway, as it seems the things about which I was worried have been accounted for, and I have other business to take care of this morning, I will distract you from your duties no further."

>"As you wish, Messenger," says the Celestial as you decide to end the topic before it becomes a problem.
>The celestial curtsies as you say your farewells. "I wish you well."

I'm not the only one playing this game guys :[

> Return the gesture.

> Take flight and head for Renko and Maribel's house.

[GuyYouMetOnline]

I don't have anything to add right now. I'll post something when I do.

[Hello Purvis]

I> Return the gesture.
> "And I do you. Good luck."
> Take flight and head for Renko and Maribel's house.

>You say your farewells, and head toward Maribel and Renko's home.
>Arriving there, you see that nothing appears to be out of place. You don't see any activity around the house, but it is still fairly early. Some smoke in the air suggests that someone is awake, though.

[Kilgamayan]

> Fly around the house to the tree line behind it.

[Hello Purvis]

> Fly around the house to the tree line behind it.

>It's really more to the side of the house than behind it, but you enter the Forest of Magic.
>More leaves seem to litter the ground today; some of your footprints in the fallen brush from the multiple incursions you made into the forest yesterday have been partially obscured. You can hear some distant sounds of laughter and are fairly sure it comes from faeries at play somewhere in the woods.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Frown. Didn't we agree to meet Aya here yesterday?
> Leave the Forest in the direction of the house and fly above the trees.

[Hello Purvis]

> Frown. Didn't we agree to meet Aya here yesterday?
> Leave the Forest in the direction of the house and fly above the trees.

>There's a bit of forest, and you only just stepped into it.
>You take flight above the trees. You can see the periodic faerie here and there in the distance.

[Kilgamayan]

> No sign of Aya?
> Take a look back at the house. Hopefully none of its residents are watching us, this would be rather embarrassing.
> Land down in front of the Forest of Magic and enter it again.

> Land down in front of the Forest of Magic and enter it again.

>No sign of Aya.
>You glance back toward the house, and don't note anyone watching you. But it's possible there could be someone in one of the windows and you've not noticed.
>Landing again, you re-enter the Forest of Magic. As you do, you feel something small ricochet off the crown of your hat.

[Kilgamayan]

> Stand still.
> Did we feel as if it came from any particular direction, or did it hit us directly on the top of the head?

[Hello Purvis]

> Stand still.
> Did we feel as if it came from any particular direction, or did it hit us directly on the top of the head?

>You stop, and are reasonable sure it came from the the left, and maybe about ahead; to the southeast.

>_

[Kilgamayan]

> Turn our eyes a bit to the left, so that we are looking to the southeast.

[Hello Purvis]

> Turn our eyes a bit to the left, so that we are looking to the southeast.

>You look over, and see a bit of a blue coat peeking around the edge of a tree.

[Kilgamayan]

> Make our way toward it on the ground.
