It was nicely selected. The company deserves the best.

The company is very grateful. This was an excellent idea!

Thomas tries his best to have excellent ideas. Speaking of those: How does she feel about kissing?

Positively! ...provided he does as well?

It turns out that he is very positive about it!

Ooh. Kisses are definitely well received!

It's a very entertaining afternoon for the people involved.

Eventually though, Inara should probably go home.

Hopefully, they can repeat this some time soon.

She would be delighted if they could repeat this some time soon.

Great!

Well then. She'll see him then. Or possibly at some other point if there's another group outing before then.

If any plans come up, he will let her know.

Unfortunately, life happens despite everyone's plans.

Tsunami warning. A volcano has been given signs of activity lately, but nothing that could be pin-pointed enough until it actually happened.

And today, it happened. Combination of seismic sensors and precognition gave them twenty-three minutes warning before the first wave hits. The emergency siren blast through out the city. Volunters of all stripes are called to help.

Aaren and 'Chelle are out to help, with a couple of 'Chelle's friends.

Fernando drops from the sky holding Thomas. "Do want to help with an official assignment?"

"We are going to meet at our temple and then go to the costal barriers."

"We're extra hands wherever you need us."

"Although we," 'Chelle points to her friends, "are pretty good with tech if that's needed?"

Thomas reveals a rope attached to his arm, moving as with a life of his own. "Hold onto this and we will fly. I think the costal barrier then."

"Looks like fun."

"Behave, Anima," the other boy says, poking the first in the side as everyone grabs the rope. "I'm Alain, the reprobate is Teo, we're at your service."

"I'm sorry," 'Chelle says, faux-seriously, "I would never have inflicted them on you, but they were at ours when the alarms went off and wouldn't be left behind."

The rope grabs them back. Not very dexterously, but firm and gentle. Fernando does the part of taking them up in the air and zipping towards the Vaeteri's Daliath Temple. A light rain starts falling. "Four more volunteers!" Fernando shouts.

Suddenly, they are wearing bracelets, the kind ensued to people during disaster relief. For a moment, they might even think it was Felix, but they catch a glimpse of the speedster, and they had long black hair.

There are people shouting instructions, and they are herded to get a ward on them. Everything is moving very fast.

Aaren is good at fast, regardless of his normally laconic nature. "I have experience with conjuration," he says to the first person who seems to be organising the relevant thing.
