As Valeria returns to the glen she realizes the consequences of her pact with the Summer Queen. She looks around, seeing the others in their summer court garments. She likes what she sees and smiles warmly, her own clothes barely going through any changes. She gets up slowly and announces to the others. "I shall henceforth be known as Elyria." She then looks to Rahkinchu, or was that her name now. Elyria grasps for some memories of what happened at the Summer Courts but they are all gone.
As Aeneas starts singing Elyria covers her ears and tries to ignore his narcissistic performance. Instead she leaves the glen and summons Aelric back for a report.
Bryant finding himself in a new surrounding becomes very distrustful. While he will give his tribute (he gives his longbow an unremarkable but sacred weapon of his order) and is polite when asked for his name he responds "Smith, you may call me Smith."
Bryant has long forsaken his family name as part of his vow to the monastery and knowing there is power in this knowledge. While he does remeber his true name he would not give it unless a deep trust were established.

(OOC well technically it wasn't Aeneas saying his name, it was the illusion-voice, which presumably doesn't wheeze, but we will retcon.)
Hearing Elyria introduce herself, the paladin is surprised to hear his own voice respond, "Well met, Elyria. I am called... Aurelius. Aurelius Degas." He bows with a flourish.
"Hmm. We seem to have been gone for a month. I wonder if the drake, or even the town, are still there? I wonder if headquarters thinks us dead? More importantly, I wonder if those barmaids remember me... I must remember to inform them of my new appellation."
"Were we gone for a month? I can´t remember. Judging by the progress of nature in this glen I would say we have hardly been gone at all. I think Aelric will be able to clarify this for us." Elyria says waiting for Aelric to return from his scouting.
As Aelric doesn´t seem to think Elyria has been gone for a month she assumes she hasn´t. Elyria conveys to Aelric their visit to the Summer Courts and her change of name. "Any sightings of that flying ship?" She then asks Aelric.
Lilianna is going to examine herself, the soft flowers woven into her hair, and green vines of ivy replacing the lace on her bodice. One of her eyes has a green tinge to it now. Her cloak now resembles a large leaf with a slightly translucent quality. “I…” She pauses as if unsure, “We must check on the town, and the Drake. I recall musings of a plot to destroy the local area, we must proceed with haste. I am Lilianna by the way, I feel you know that, although another name lingers at the edge of my memory.”
Bryant stands up and looks around at his companions. Seems they have finally returned. "Well that was unexpected... is everyone OK?" As he looks around he notices his formally deep blue robes have taken a vibrant green color with a similar deep gold trim though trim is worked in such fashion as to appear like vines and trees. Noting the change he desperately reaches for the sword hilt and breathes a sigh of relief when he feels it's presence.
"I hope no lives were lost during our adventures in the Feywild." He looks towards his companions "I also hope you have not made any bargains that impedes our duty to these people..."His voice is concerned but not angry. "Can we please sleep indoors tonight?"

"Wait, I don´t think we have been gone that long, Aelric was just going to give me an update on the situation here." Elyria says to the others before anyone leaves.
"Well, some of us made the less than thought through choice of giving up our names to the Summer Queen I seem to remember, but other than that I think we are fine." She says to Bryant smiling again at everyones new attire.
One of them, by far the smallest, yips at Lilliana, and proceeds to lick her face. Lilliana then remembers this gift from the Summer Queen, and the name she gave it.
"Relax everyone, all-clear." Elyria says to the others before turning her attention to the blink dog at her feet. "So who have we here huh, did you all come with us from the Summer courts?" She says softly in sylvan crouching down petting the fey canine.
(OOC: Oh I totally missed the part about everyone having a blink dog at their feet. Hey, just hit 1000 posts :-)
Rahkinchu would have been a bit surly at the very first. Definitely upset at being abruptly transported to a new place. But just as quickly her fascination with this wonderous fey place overcame any worry. (Well and perhaps just the magic of the place.)
Rahkinchu remembers the Queen telling her... well, actually she can't quite recall. But she knows the Queen was wonderful. She immediately gave her name, of course!
She gave the Queen her totem - a small carving of a mountain lion in quartz. (Assuming I can use my quarterstaff as druidic focus going forward!) And also the hawk feather, decorated with several polished stones, that she would wear in her hair. Simple gifts, but about all the treasure she had on her.
She would also offer to make some healing potions using her Herbalism kit. Assuming she could find materials. Likely she would go out in search for them if she can. (She would have definitely invited Valeria to join get and help her on this project.)
Having a strong good feeling about what transpired in the Summer courts Elyria seems to remember spending much time with Rahkinchu there, or what was her name again?
As they exit from the Summer Queen's realm, Sinver feels as though a haze has been lifted. Instantly he checks he checks to see Winke and then his belongings to see if anything was missing.
He seemed to have everything until he checks his final pocket and realize his silver pocket watch was missing. Panic instantly sets in over his face and he asked out loud "Anyone seen a silver pocket watch?"
Then Sinver remembers vaguely handing it over to the Summer Queen. He starts smacking himself in the head over this transgression as the reality of it sinks in knowing he was suspicious of the entire situation.
This silver pocket watch was a piece of evidence he kept from the first case he ever worked on with METAL. The case was deemed resolved according to METAL standards but there were some parts he felt were left unsolved. Regardless it was a keepsake of his reminding him of his duty to METAL and the world he intended to create with them.
Aurelius suddenly remembers that the blink dog/music critic he encountered earlier came back with him from the Feywild. Making an arcane gesture with his left hand, he casts Speak with animals, and gets down on eye level with the creature.
"Greetings friend. I will not ask you for your name; I have learned my lesson that those should not be given lightly. But how would you wish to be addressed? Do you mean to accompany us on our journey? You are welcome to stay or go as you please. I fear our plane of existence is not as delightful as your own, and may soon bore you."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rahkeshi now starts to take stock in the present. She tries to ignore the others comments for a moment and find the moon in the night sky. She tries to judge the phase and position in the sky to determine if it matches her recollections. (Nature check: 21)
She glances to Elyria - for a moment the name seemed off, but that is it. She speaks to her in druidic. "Do you recall the Summer Court? My memories seem... hazy."
She then realizes the garb she now wears. The light fabrics with bright green and dark orange patterns of foliage. It is all well fitting, unlike her usual dirty poncho with drab colors. The clothing is all immaculate. Even the heavy hides she wears are in fine shape and well-cleaned.
The new apparel shows off her sturdy athletic-looking frame much more than before. Rahkeshi for a moment seems a bit taken aback by her dress. But then she notices the blink dog. "Sozi!" she exclaims.
Elyria answers in drudic "Yes, hazy, but pleasant like a soft summers breeze gently caressing me." She says softly, smiling warmly and then looking away blushing.

Aelric flies down and hoots at you, obviously confused about your change of apparel.
Farewell.

"Enchanté, Madamoiselle Liliana. I agree wholeheartedly. Please, lead the way, chérie," Aurelius responds with a dazzling smile.
As they walk, he snaps his fingers again, and they are serenaded by rabbit-voices singing "The Bard of Orlais".

Aelric hoots quietly in confusion again before hooting an all-clear while still gazing at the Blink Dogs by your feet.
Farewell.
“I may be incorrect, but I do not remember any canine accomplices. Does anyone know how they got here?” Lillianna looks down at the Blink dogs.
