*Scatty sits outside Leo's room still keeping watch in case Blue goes psycho again*


*Iris sits hunched against the wall*


*Horus stands guard*


*Gharn follows along*


*Huitz notices Daveth and the Trolls and Letho and walks over*
Huitz: What have we got here?

Letho: We are mutants.. Freaks of science, and magic.
*He shrugs.*
Letho: We are made to fight monsters..
*Looks at Huitz, and grunts.*

*Huitz nods to Letho*
Huitz: So, you're back huh?

*Thaddeus finishes the casserole and places some on a plate for Arya*
Thaddeus: It's ready.
*He smiles and sits while looking slightly drowsy and flushed*

*I pull out my lyre and begin to play a soft and soothing song while I wait for Thaddeus*

*Denny nods*
D: Okay, good. Least it wasn't someone we knew.
*Inspects Jake for more serious injuries*

*Maiev kisses Kara once more, then follows her vision*
*Smiles at the ring, then kisses Kara again*
M: It looks amazing on you.

~

*Thesiel stops, and gestures for everyone to sit down*
T: We rest here for a bit.

*Thaddeus returns to her and gives her a plate and a glass of lemon water*
Thaddeus: Here you go.
*He smiles warmly and takes a seat beside Arya*

Thank you.
*I set the lyre aside*
*I begin eating and occasionally take a sip of water*

*Jake nods, and lets Denny inspect his wounds.*
Jake: Now how was your sleep?

----

*Rita kneels down, and sits.*
*Stays alert.*

---
*Letho nods.*
Letho: Yes.. I'm back.
*He smiles his ugly smile.*

*Gharn nods and sits down crosslegged with his sword across his lap*


*Huitz nods appraisingly*
Huitz: Well, good. Poker?

*Thaddeus smiles but looks very tired. He seems to dose off a bit at the table but catches himself.*
Thaddeus: I should get more work done.
*He smiles warmly at Arya and retrieves some of his paper work and he begins reading*
Thaddeus: Do you ever wish you had siblings at times, Arya?

*I look concerned for Thaddeus as he almost nods off*
*I then look taken back by his question*
To be honest for all I know I COULD have siblings. I remember so little of my first few years that I could have siblings and just have no recollection of them. The fever took so much from me.

*Rita looks over at Gharn.*
Rita: You hungry?
*Pulls out a M.R.E. and throws it at Gharn.*
Rita: Eat.

---

*Letho shrugs.*
Letho: Maybe later...

*Kara nods and hugs Maiev*
K: I love it.
*shivers and moves closer to Maiev*

*Daveth nods to Huitz*
D: I am Daveth of Orlais.
*looks back at Letho*
D: I wouldn't say you are a freak. Not once did I get that idea.
*his smile widens, revealing his teeth*

*Harador nods*
I will keep watch.

*Huitz nods to Daveth*
Huitz: Hello, I am Huitzilopochtli, the Defender


*Gharn nods, and though he despises the MREs he's glad of the food*

*Thaddeus looks up but his smile is slightly pained*
Thaddeus: What would you like them to be? If you could pick an choose... Would you be the eldest or the youngest?
*He grips his paper work slightly and clears his throat as he seems to be holding back some emotion*

*Rita leans back, and watches the burning sky.*

---

*Letho shurgs.*
Letho: Wasn't saying you did, just consider myself a freak.
*He grins.*
Letho: Witchers... are as much monster, as they are humans.

*Daveth shakes his head*
D: There are some things I have found that many would call a monster, but I have made a friend. And sometimes, I have found humans that would make most 'monsters' look innocent.
*smiles*
D: The Watchman has shown me many things in my service.

*I pause and consider*
I'd like to think I'm the youngest, but then that raises the question of how I got away from my family without anyone noticing. As a rule Elves are over protective when it comes to their children and siblings

*Letho frowns at Daveth.*
Letho: Sounds like a cult... you trying to get me to join you cult? I ain't joining your cult.

*Huitz chuckles slightly at Letho then turns to Daveth*
Huitz: The Watchmen huh? Is it anything like the comic?

*Daveth chuckles and shakes his head*
D: Of course not. The Watchman does not call for blood, or any sacrifice. Well, aside from spreading his word and beliefs, of course. In return, I have been gifted repeatedly.
*gestures to the mace at his side*
D: See this? It is unlike any other weapon. The Watchman himself has given it to me. But that is not all that he has done.
*looks over at Huitz*
D: No, the Watchman of the Night is a god. Benevolent, loyal, and unwavering.

*Thaddeus looks saddened*
Thaddeus: What if they have noticed?

*Huitz eyes the mace*
Huitz: Not bad...
*He shrugs*
Huitz: I've never held much faith in gods. Humani thought me one but I'm hardly as powerful as legends say

Oh I'm positive by now they noticed, but how did I wander away to begin with? Was my home attacked? Did I get separated in a storm? Did the gods spirit me away for whatever reason? I have no answers and that bothers me more than anything else.

*Verdai teleports up to the Library, and wanders its silent halls*
Really should have got a smaller ship... this is depressing.
-Getting buyer's remorse, are we?-
*Sighs sadly*
Alexandria, are you ever going to stop hating me? I already apologized.
*Alexandria adopts a curt tone*
-She's still onboard. Has she established residency?-

*Letho sighs.*
Letho: Sounds like a cult...
*He shrugs.*
Letho: Don't believe in gods either..

*Thaddeus looks intrigued*
Thaddeus: Perhaps I can help you find out! My family is..- I have no one anymore. But, you might! There could be answers some where!

I'm sure there are answers, but I have no idea where to start. I was found in a forest near a small village named Tethan, which is nowhere near any of the major Elven settlements. I've been to many cities, and none of them reported a missing elven child

*Daveth shakes his head*
D: I would not be so firm of a believer if I had not seen him. Believe me, he is very much alive.
