Putting heads together

CHARACTERS: Laedo Ledo and Achilles
DATE: Shortly before gears are put into motion to kill the goddesses
WARNINGS: Intense muscle flexing if we're very lucky.
SUMMARY: Laedo's looking to round up support to help ensure the Nalawi are protected... and hopes to sway some other voices to sympathy for Nalanni. Achilles seems to be on the same page, so a meet-up is in order.


Laedo had been residing outside of town limits ever since he'd been blown out of the lava tunnels below Pu’ulai. Not only were the Nalawi dwellings laughably small for one of his size, but the other members of ALASTAIR had been growing resolved (or resigned) to the consensus that the goddesses needed to be destroyed, a stance with which he could not agree. The askan was firmly against it, in fact, at least with regards to Nalanni. She had given him an extremely large responsibility before Pomarr had caught him and flung him out of reach, and he did not wish to fail her.

So he had decided to brood and listen to network conversations where people had not learned to seal their lips. That was how he'd begun rounding up those with more moderate ideas, those who seemed to think beyond the tips of their spears to their own survival, and the survival of the deer people. If ALASTAIR had found a way to bring so many of their ilk into the world, they could pool their resources together to find a way to remove the goddesses from it without resorting to barbaric actions.

He'd tracked down Achilles not long after he and the other new recruits had begun to filter into the settlement, wishing that he had enough magic to converse with the human on an eye-to-eye basis. He'd learned that he was intimidating enough to be attacked on sight, and he knew that would do him no favours in making introductions... but maybe eloquence would help him.

The sun was setting over the ocean, marking the peppered clouds above them bright cherry reds and oranges. Shadows stretched, including the large, dragon-like creature's. Laedo settled on his haunches a length or so away and stared intently at Achilles, tail twitching gently as he considered his words. "I would greet you in peace, warrior. Do you have a minute?"
