"An insect on a pond," Faylinn suggests. "You are hoping you're not making ripples big enough for the fish to see after you dove under the surface and taunted them. You have no way of knowing without waiting to see if you'll be followed or not, so you're assuming not? That seems a bad way to avoid being eaten." She stabs a piece of meat, almost as though in punctuation to her sentance, but hesitates before actually eating it to finish, "This is a poor place to experiment with that sort of thing; there's not enough magic about to fill a teacup."

A smile appears, somewhat appreciative, "That is one interpretation I grant you, not what I meant but a possibility. I still hold to the listener in the dark analogy."

He looks to Finn and shrugs, "There will be a choice, if it proves that they can sense me as I sense them then I cannot risk using my sorcerous abilities."

"I will leave it to the two of you." Finn states, gesturing at Faylinn and then Arkadios with his fork. "If and when we cross a space with suitable magical energies, you can let me know. Depending on the situation, I will let you know whether or not to proceed with your test." He nods, "The way will be treacherous enough without you accidentally calling down more trouble with your research." Finn returns to eating, "Enjoy your meal, and this respite, we leave as soon as Rebecca declares your horses able to run."

"Our priority is getting to Cimmaron swiftly, and then to Greymoor with as much haste."

Rebeca silently looks up at the mention of her home Shadow. Then she glances out at the darkening sky. Fishing her silver pocket watch out of her pocket, she clicks it open to check the time. "Unless someone is needin' a nap, I reckon they'll be ready by the time we're done eatin' and clean up." Her watch closes with a sharp snap before she puts it back in her watch pocket and takes up her fork again. "I'll pack up some of that leftovers ta take with us. We'll have to stop again most likely 'fore we get to Cimarron ta rest the horses again."

He finishes his meal in silence, thoughtful silence. When he is done Kade stands and nods to Rebecca, "A fine meal, I'd volunteer to do the dishes but I as we're not likely to be coming back this way there's not much point."

As he walks outside he takes up his rifle and moves away from the doorway. When he out of everyone's way he sits and goes through the strip and rebuild routine once more.

Faylinn regards the rest of the table with curiosity. "Clearly, you have all had quite the chat was I was busy," she observes. "I thought we were supposed to go straight to our final destination...?"

"Father said I was to call him from Cimarron," Rebecca says as she selects a plum from the bowl. "He needs to make the gunpowder of Cimarron work in Graymoor."

The wind outside picks up and moves large clouds across the sky. The mountain is drenched in shadows. It seems a bit... unnatural that it should change so quickly.

Glancing out the window as she takes a bite from the fruit, Rebecca's eyes widen slightly. "I think it's time to go..."

She pushes from the table and heads for the door, grabbing her things on her way out. No time to worry about leftovers. She heads for the stables, shrugging into her duster, sliding the rifle into the long inside pocket its meant for and whistling sharply for Demon. He'd know the command to herd them all out.

"Ah," Faylinn answers. She turns in her seat to look curiosly out the window, reaching to see if the magical levels in this place have increased or not.

Finn pushes aside his plate, looks out the window, and curses. "It seems events have caught up to us." He shakes his head, and turns to Faylinn. "Cimarron will only be a brief stop, long enough for the King to -- well -- I'm not sure what he does, but I imagine it is like matching the frequency of one Shadow with another. The advantage of firearms will be brief, and too many could cause the enemy to adapt their tactics to match or suit, so if they are to be useful, they must be at their most useful immediately. So, we pass through Cimarron. It has the benefit of being famliar to Eric, as well." He gets to his feet, and turns around to rummage in a cupboard. He finds a leather bag, and then takes the cornbread, wrapped in a large cloth napkin, and stows whatever was left in the bag.

He takes up his sword, checks the load on his new weapons, and gestures towards the door. "Let's move out. Call out if there's any more psychic skulduggery in play."

Cursing all the while, Rebecca meets up with the horses on her way around to the front of the cabin. She matches her pace to Demon's and vaults up into the saddle. As they round to the front, she slides the shotgun into the saddle holster and pulls on a pair of leather gloves.

"Let's move!" she barks, eying the rolling storm overhead warily.

"Not magic," Faylinn offers. She rises and neatly pushes in her chair before heading out the door. "It does seem to be natural, but I mislike the timing and the speed."

In the sky, flashes of light silently travel across the darkened surface of the clouds. The wind at ground level begins to pick up but has not reached any obnoxious levels yet. Beyond the canopy of trees, miles and miles away into the mountain range, misty clouds gather, moving in their direction.
