#progress day.

Person: OPEN Location: Tiber Bay, Docks notes: PROGRESS DAY BAYBEE "Alright, I get it." He says to the tiny fox laying across his shoulders, handing it a blueberry from his pocket. He'd gone into this whole ordeal skeptical because what progress could the mortals possibly be making? But they do indeed have gadgets and gizmos aplenty and Thalindor can't help but take notice of not just the magic, but the careful craftsmanship of the metalworking had him missing the forge. It's probably the most interesting day he's had in Lysara, he'll give the people that. There are things he sees that he thinks could help Varda's Cavern and he tries to take note, but mostly he's people watching until it's Nuvi's turn to deal with their furry friend who refused to be left at the vineyard. "Ten blueberries says that power source of theirs goes sideways." He's talking to the fox who he's pretty sure stopped listening after the word 'blueberry' was said, but he's not particularly being quiet about his skepticism.

Person: @xdeimosx Location: Tiber Bay, Progress Day She'd come to find Seraphiel, but she was more than happy to see the back of a familiar blonde head of hair. "Well hey there, handsome." Hands behind her back, she smiles up at him as she steps up to his side. "Feels like I've been ages since I've seen you." Deja's tone is playful, it's a little jab at the way they'd apparently spent six months together and yet had been gone no time at all. It was still strange to wrestle with, like it had just been some dream, and yet the y-shaped scar along her sternum suggested it had been very real.

Person: @aurelientrader Location: Mercury's Bazaar, Progress Day BAYBEE Surely he was hallucinating. Of all the places in all of Lysara, out of all the corners of Taravell that he'd already searched, there was the shadow he hadn't seen in nearly two decades. And he was right under his nose. There was no mistaking the curls and the doe eyes, he'd seen them all wide eyed and taking in the sight of the fissures in the cavern to know. He looks....Aurelien looks just fine standing there near one of the booths. And he doesn't know what to make of that, there's relief and yet there's always that thought in the back of his head, the one that's been there for years. What if Aurelien hadn't wanted to be found? What if he had truly abandoned them for this realm? What if he was truly happy amongst the mortals? Would it be selfish to disturb their peace? Thalindor decides that the answer is both yes and no. Aurelien deserves happiness, but their mother deserved some kind of closure. He deserved some kind of closure. But he keeps his approach through the crowd subtle, offers a familiar whistle on his way past, the one they'd use to signal to one another in the cavern and he planned to just let that be, to let Aurelien realize he was there on their own. Except Vee had other plans and the moment the tiny creature caught sight of the other elvhen, he was sprinting down Thalin's arm from his perch on his shoulders and beelining it right for Aurelien. Well, that was one way to do it.

Person: @nylathriasoulseer Location: Mercury's Bazaar, Progress Day She hadn't really talked about it with anyone yet, what had happened that night on the moors that had led to a six month endeavor away from home. But if there was anyone she wanted to run it by, it was Nyla. Was Progress Day the place to unload all of that information? Probably not, but as they stroll the booths and watch all the fanfare, she thinks they've got time. "I had a vision, like not a 'I think I left my keys' gut feeling, a full on vision." She explains as they walk, small smile playing across her lips. It had been horrific at the time, sure, but it'd happened and she'd survived and to say she was a little more confident in her abilities now was an understatement.
