Turning off the water in the sink, Rebecca brings a pitcher of lemonade and another of water to the table. She waves everyone to the table and sits down herself.

"Eat up," she smiles. "With Finn here, I don' reckon they'll be anythin' leftover but the bones, so ya best get to it quick."

Taking a seat Kade sits waiting for the others before eating, he does pour himself some water.

"Anyone else?" he asks as he pours.

"Please," Faylinn answers. She picks up a glass and passes it across before settling into the chair that the glass and it's placesetting belongs to.

Kade fills glasses for all who want it then as everyone takes a seat Kade just sits and sips his own water.

"Finn, I've been thinking and in the spirit of cooperation and information sharing you suggested earlier I thought I'd best let you know that I believe my tussle with he forces of the Black Road have made me somewhat sensitive to their presence. I don't know quite how sensitive yet, and I'd need to try things out, experiment a little preferably in a neutral location, but I might be able to sense them, perhaps even determine if they are on the move as it were."

Finn chuckles softly at Rebecca's comment, and then clears his throat, before soberly stating. "I'm afraid that she is not exaggerating." He serves himself some lemonade, and then picks up his utensils. He takes a moment to savor the scent of the meal, his eyes closing for a moment, and he does ont acknowledge anyone, if only for a small space of time. He takes a bite of the meat, slicing a small piece of to do so, and smiles slowly. He sighs, "Aah, this is excellent Rebecca."

His eyes rise to Kade, and he listens to the younger Amberite's explanation. "Will such -- psychic sensitivity render you unable to defend yourself or others against a more common physical assault? I certainly see the usefulness in an early warning system, but there will be times where a pair of hands, or a well-flung spell, will be more useful than the knowledge that the Black Road and its Beings are after us. I assume that they always are, and will be, until we can move away from the Road itself." He sips his lemonade. "This Hellride will not be getting any safer. The four of us must be alert."

Kade nods in response to Finn's qualification, he is annoyed by the implication that he wouldn't realize the importance of remaining fully compos mentis but decides to say nothing.

"I would hope my earlier episode is a one off problem, if it isn't I shan't be able to use my spells at all since my heightened awareness is part and parcel of my arcane endeavors. I can't be sure though, which is why I suggested experimenting in a neutral location. I'll let you decide where, assuming we don't encounter trouble which forces my hand as it were." he concludes with a rueful smile.

Suddenly he smiles and glances at Rebecca and Faylinn, "I believe I might challenge Finn here in the eating stakes, so I'd dig in ladies if I were you."

Faylinn regards the conversation - and the participants and the fork-wielding - with amusement. "You should improve your focus," she offers. "Dealing with an emergency is not the time to be falling off and frightening your horse."

Kade’s face whitens for an instant but then he recovers and feigns a hurt expression which somehow is also a playful smile.

“Oh lady how can one so fair be so unkind, so pitiless?” he intones hand on heart.

Faylinn's head tips slightly to one side as she regards Kade. "Nature has no pity. Danger rarely does. I am making an observation that I hope will assist you." She neatly claims a pork chop and starts cutting into it. "Besides, I am not being pitiless," she adds with a hint of a smile. "You aren't bleeding."

Finn · Joined: 10 Apr 2008 Posts: 121

Finn finished a morsel and nods at Arkadios’ statement. “I certainly hope it was a one time issue. As far as finding neutral ground, I’m not sure that will be possible anymore. Here is the closest thing, but let us leave off experimenting until we are ready to leave.” He gestures around them, “Fay has reported the area empty of threats, for the moment.”

He smiles as he eats and listens to the banter over the meal, and looks to Faylinn when she adds her perspective. Finn eats thoughtfully as Fay and Kade exchange words, when she states tat Kade is not bleeding, he tilts his head slightly tone side. He turns to Kade, “Can the Entities you sensed trace your psychic probes back to you at a distance?”

Reaching for some food, Kade pauses mid-stretch in response to Finn’s question.

“I certainly hope not." he replies as he takes a little of everything on offer.

Once he's satisfied with his selection he continues, "To use an analogy I believe that once I enter the higher state of mind my ability to perceive the Black Road will be somewhat like seeing a light in the dark or hearing a noise, neither will betray ones presence to those who create the light or the noise. What happened earlier was more personal as I confronted them directly, to use the analogy again more akin to my walking into the beam of light or calling out in response to the sound.”

He smiles and shrugs, “This is all supposition at this stage you understand. “

Rebecca seems to be letting the conversation wash over her as she eats. They are discussing matters arcane and what she knows on the subject would fit in a shot glass. She glances out the window and bounces her fork between her fingers thoughtfully, and then goes back to eating.

Through the dusty windows, Rebecca can see the sun shining through the canopy of trees. The sun has moved from its zenith and from behind clouds. There still are several hours of daylight available to them in this Shadow.
