Farienne thinks. And points each blessing in turn.

"Resolve. You're willing to stick to a path despite hardship and consequences, or at least consequences to you personally. You're not willing to stray because it's going to be difficult."

"Love..." she closes her eyes for a moment, "I think your life is defined by it, not necessarily that you are going to have it or even give- no wait, I think you will give love... I think the main thing I can take from this is that love will define your life. Both for the better and worse?"

"Honor. Willingness to defend your own personal morals and what you think is right, even when it's not easy... or not at your benefit? Possibly the benefit of others who can't help themselves? It interacts a lot with Resolve. I think."

She then squints at Lia. "I think you are a Hunti, with a bit of Elay. Huntis are very convicted and certain in their beliefs, often to the point that they are stereotyped as being unpleasant to be around, they are more willing to break than to bend. Elay... have our heads in the clouds, we care about abstract ideals, like honor, true love and reaching for happy endings."

Her eyes widen a bit at these descriptions. "Oh... Yes, I suppose that does describe me," she agrees quietly. She rests a hand on her belly, and smiles a bit wryly, "I don't know how much I believe in true love anymore," she says, "But a happy ending does look to be in reach, at least, with all this magic around."

"Would you like to meet the rest of my group? I think they'll all be interested to learn what their blessings are, as well. We can trade you some of our own magic in return, too, if you'd like?"

"That would be great!" She half-stands and leans across the table to hug her.

Permalink

Goodness! Hug! Lia laughs a little, surprised, and squeezes her back.

"Most of them are upstairs," she says after a moment, pulling back, "But Istevi was down here, he just went to the washroom. We should go fetch him before we find the others."

They find him on the way to the washroom.

Once again Farienne claps to herself and then hugs Istevi with a loud "Eeee!"]

"You're an alt of my dad."

"Oh! Well, that explains it. I thought she looked a little familiar," she tells Istevi. "This is Farienne Dochenza," she adds, "I met her while you were gone. She's a Prime, which in her case means she has air and soul magic, and I suppose she's your alt's daughter - I'm guessing with the Zofin alt?" She gives Farienne a questioning look. "Does that name sound similar? Alts mostly seem to have similar names."

"Oh, is she tall blond- or I guess not blond." She says looking between their grey hairs. "Shy and bookish?"

Permalink

Istevi only reaction this is lifting his hand to touch Farienne's face and look at her with an awed expression.

Permalink

...Okay, that's sweet. Lia feels a little bad for him, now, given all the hostility between him and his ex-girlfriends. Not that it isn't deserved. 

"Yes, that about describes her," she agrees, pushing the thoughts out of mind. "She's green - our society has castes, a person's hair colour usually matches their caste, green is science, art, literature, and so on"

"She works with books in a museum." Istevi says absently, still with the same expression.

Permalink

Farienne notices something about their mood. "Okay. Could you fetch her and the others? While I talk to him?"

Permalink

She looks between them, nods, "Yes, I can do that." She'll leave them alone for a bit.

Upstairs, to Isteri's room first, in case some number of people are already in there. 

Permalink

Zofin is there, she has recovered a lot in the past days and her reaction to this news is... definitely a bunch of conflicted feelings, but she doesn't start crying.

Permalink

That's good. And both of them are interested in this kind of magic. They send Zofin ahead and fetch the other two. Oddly enough, Patiri and Mura ended up closer to each other than anyone else in this awkward situation.

Permalink

Soon, they all reach downstairs. The barroom is mercifully empty.

Permalink

(Liarae knocks on Lyra and Brandon's door as well, but they don't answer. She assumes they must be sleeping. Hopefully they'll come down to join the group before Farienne leaves, if the mysterious mechanisms of Milliways time allows.)

Downstairs, Liarae will acquire some food from the bar, asking for and fulfilling drink requests from the others while Farienne draws for them. 

Permalink

Farienne does that - after hugging her mother's alt, of course. If she finds the situation at all uncomfortable, she doesn't show much.

Permalink

Istevi already got his blessings sorted as Fertility, Beauty and Surprise.

Permalink

Zofin's are: Contentment, Serenity and Patience.

Permalink

Patiri got: Patience, Resilience and Power.

Permalink

Mura draw gives her: Certainty, Strength and Resolve.

Permalink

While Isteri is blessed with: Fertility, Wealth and Power.

Permalink

Farienne is then happy to give her (very educated guesses) at what each blessing means.
