Xellas almost dropped it as relief swept over him. "How - " his voice cracked, and he tried again. "How did you do that?" One minute the harp was liquid pearl, and the next, it was in her hands as she held it out to him. He shook his head, trying to think. But his head was cloudy and wouldn't let him. Hangover, he thought distantly. I shouldn't have drank so much.[/color]

"Died once.... amulets...." he set the harp on the pallet behind him, and counted on his fingers trying to sort things out. "Who ARE you?"[/color]

"I'm a wizard. I can stick things in a pocket of space, it's a lot easier to do with this though." She waved the staff, "I use it as the portal to put stuff in the pocket I have created and to take stuff out. I put the harp in there last night, it's important to you, and a very magic piece. It wouldn't be good if it had been stolen. I put it in there for safe keeping. And I TOLD you. I'm Jainis. I've told you a lot more information than you have told me. Don't frustrate me. I've been four and a half days with out sleep and I'm running low on adrenaline right now."

"Ah." The whole time and space thing baffled him. "Thank you," he said, trying to sound graciously thankful. He bent to put the harp in it's leather stachel at his side, but before reaching it, the first few strings hummed, as if an invisible finger grazed them. Xellas straightened, his features set. "We are not the only ones in this room, Wizard Janais."[/color]

"Then why didn't you sleep when I did,?" he asked, frowning a bit.

"I know. But if we were in any danger that sword by your feet would have gone off by now. It's protecting you and me."

"And I couldn't sleep. Something's not right. And it's not the other person in this room. She wasn't there at all last night, but I do believe she was in the bar watching you. And if you're wondering how I know these things let me remind you that I was raised a Robber. I was trained to notice the almost unnoticable. It's a survival skill. But if you don't mind I would like to preform a spell right now. I have a wound I need to heal up."

"Humphrey," she called, "Come here please." The book that had rested itself on the windowsill flew over to in front of Jainis. "What now," it mumbled, "and you can't shut me up this time! I'm full of spells you know! You ask and ask and ask of me, but give nothing in return! What if I were to turn YOU into a toad? I do believe that you deserve it." "Oh be quiet. And the only spells you have are in writting, which is what I need. Do you want me to get infected?" "Oh no! Never Jainis! If anything bad happened to you I wouldn't know what to do!" It flipped through it's pages and stopped about mid-way through. "Is this the spell you...Wait! You tricked me! I didn't mean to say that! You terrible trickster you! I..I..I.." "I know, I know Humphrey. You just want to show off. Now could you be quiet and let me concentrate?"

(OOC) I fixed it. Let me clarify some things for anyone who reads what I posted. I think I got rid of all the power playing- I don't think seeing another character is power playing. My character got to the inn the morning after the "strange lights" and Xellas falling asleep in the bed that Jainis lent him. She woke up in the afternoon of the same day. She is currently passed out on the floor of the same tavern Xellas and Jainis are staying at because of her fever. Feel free to power play with that to an extent if Maddie'll let you. Though I might post before you have the chance. I would really like it if someone would tell me how to meet the other characters without power playing them. I don't mind if people power play with Lanen (my character) provided they don't assume anything about her past or personality unless it's based off of any info in my posts. In other words, don't mess with who or what she is. Mess with dialogue and encounters all you want if Maddie lets you. If she doesn't, well, as far as I can tell that hasn't stopped some of you *coughfafcough*

OOC) If your talking about what I made Humphrey do, that's not power playing. Humphrey is my character, one of my secondary characters. He's the book that Jainis owns, a magic flying talking book. He's quite humorous. He's arrogant, smart, and easily annoyed. I can do anything I want with him.

I wasn't talking about Humphrey. I was just teasing anyway, don't get your prickles up, please. Could you tell me how to interact with the others without powerplaying? Please? I'm a very confused River Daughter at the moment. Thank you.

OOC) Ahh, okay. No offense taken. I like pickles, in my tuna fish sandwiches! If you want to interact with the other characters you just wait for them to come to you. If you want I can come save you after I cast my spell.

OOC: Save me from what? I'm sorta passed out with a fever in the tavern. I dont' exactly need saving, but I could do with someone waking me up. Not to mention that I really don't want to get trampled on.

OOC) What if I healed your wound? Although we would just wind up switching in the position of unconciousness. But right now that would be a good thing for me, I need to get some rest, and you wouldn't be bleeding anymore.
