As Ker-Adam goes through the mirror, Jek will move to jump through as well. He stops for a moment and looks at Lelith. "Thank you. You didn't need to come and be so gracious. You and Greko saved us all, I think. I voted correctly. None of us are truly innocent. I'm proud of you." He will pat her on the shoulder. He'll take one look back at the rubble, where he swears he sees a willow branch peaking through.
As he gets through, he looks around the room and finds Darla. He will go up and, if she allows, will give her a big hug. "It's going to be okay. He's gone, but we'll be okay. You will always have family in the Order of the Phoenix. I'm sorry I thought you were a duck."
After everyone is through, Jek will look for Delph. "Delph, can I look at the Triforce, I want to see if I can identify what it can do." If allowed, Jek will reach for the Triforce, but doesn't quite touch it. In fact, if you look closely, he appears to be touching it's shadow. He will explain, to no one in particular as he casts identify "A shadow is a projection of an object or person or whatever. If you can read a shadow, you can read an object."
Now through the mirror, Delph looks around to see who else is on the other side. As the tiny fairy is getting their bearings Jek comes over to ask to identify the tri-force. The fairy thinks on it and says "You can look but I'm not letting go of it until I deliver it. I have a promise to fulfill." With that the fairy holds the tri-force out for Jek to cast identify on but the fairy is holding onto it very securely. Other then that, Delph is waiting for the rest of his friends to arrive. Then the fairy needs to deliver tri-force for Gandalf as promised freeing them from their obligation.
As soon as the last of them are through the mirror, Gandalf slams the big mirror to the floor and shatters it, preventing anyone from following them through.
"Things are getting quite hectic, friends." Gandalf says as he looks around the room. He lays a small mirror on one of the tables where he is managing all the weird teleporting and direction. "Delphinium, if you're ready, we need to get you to Atlantis. Everyone else, take a breather. I'll summon the Elders, hopefully they can heal some of you back up. I have a feeling you're going to be needed in Hagsgate. Things are getting very dicey."
Gandalf stops to eyeball Greko the White, and gives a wry grin.
"Hyboria always provides, huh?" He says and gives a mirthful chuckle. "Don't get comfortable. Take a few minutes and then prepare for Hagsgate. Hopefully they can hold out that long..."
As Jek touches the shadow of the Triforce of Courage, he enters almost a trance like state. When he opens his eyes again, they are shining a pure white light. The light is so pure, that it is almost saturates Jek's Void Skin. If Delph looks into the Jek's hood at this point, he would start to make out the vague outlines of facial features, not just a black void; a nose, short hair. In celestial, he will say "Coup Su!" He pulls back from the Triforce and his eyes will return to normal.
He looks at the Triforce, than at Delph. He will grab Delph's shoulder. "Delphinium, you must be very, very careful. What you hold is..... I don't know how to describe it. It is.... magic... power.... energy... All of the above. Its fire and water, earth and air. It's light and darkness. Evocation, illusion, necromancy, all of it. But, while you hold it, it will respond to you; your emotions, your fortitude. You must tread very carefully. It is raw power, and can be easily abused, even unintentionally. You must be strong, you must be courageous, and you must be good. You can do this! You must do this!" He will give Delph's shoulder a squeeze, nods to Delph.
The smash of the mirror shocks him a bit. He turns and listens to Gandalf. Then he hears a sad, quivering honk coming from Darla, as she moves to the shards of the mirror. Jek will go to her and pet her, trying to remember how Slade would sooth her. "I'm sorry. He's gone. I know... It hurts. But we have more work to do... We can mourn later. We can OW." Darla nips at Jek, then goes over to a corner, making her sad sounds. "I think she just needs a minute. Maybe we all do." Jek will say, to no one in particular.
Jek will find a place out of the way for a bit, and focuses on redistributing some of the energy he has left. (Burns two 1st level spell for sorcery points, then makes a second level spell slot.)
Greko smiles at Gandalf and claps him on the back "You old codger! You thought becoming a pin cushion and being sliced in half would keep Greko down while you steal all the glory!? When this is all done, we will talk about becoming a white if the need arises.....How is Shmendrick the Blue?" Greko peppers Gandalf with his questions while walking to an open window and giving a loud whistle as his pet bat comes flying into the room
Travin rests Birt's massive head on a blanket, he whimpers slightly at his unconscious friend before turning to the party.
"Travin is hurt, Birth is hurt, is others okay? Hmm?" He walks over to Thea amd touches her lightly on the arm. He seems a little more comfortable now, buried under his mountain of junk once more, "what is happenings at Hagsgate? Hmm? Where's did Delph and the lizardmans and others comes from, yeh yeh?"
"Must be real nice to be back on wild adventures..." Lelith snarked at the group of champions, her eyes settled on a particular elf for a few moments before she turned to her companion. "Greko, Hagsgate is our next destination, yes? Let's hope they don't die too much before we get there."
"... You are the one known as Malenia, correct?" Lelith decided to address the elf in Sylvan, as one of her kin she should be able to speak it, "it took me meeting you three times before I sniffed you out. I might have confused you and Thea together that day when I smelled out a Fey. You must've recognized me on the day Andromeda's Answer found me, yet you showed neither courtesy nor manners to your kin. Even to one of my status. I will be remembering that."
"You are of the Summer Court... In accounts of a certain fairy friend of mine," Lelith smiled genuinely at Delphinium "I won't be too harsh. Look upon me and learn some manners." Lelith walked off to speak to the fairy.
"Descendant of the Summer Queen, I offer my apologies. Last time we spoke, I was unable to answer due to the overzealous intervention of some people," Lelith glanced at Jek, "an unfortunate turn of events but we've met again and under better circumstances as well. It has been some time since we last spoke, centuries perhaps, I am gladdened to see you remember me and still cherish our memories together."
"I think this world only has room for one white at a time." Gandalf laughs, then glances at one of the nearby mirrors at mention of Schmendrick the Blue. "The boy is in trouble, and only three of the AURYN chosen are left with him to get him to the unicorn. And I don't think he can. And worse, the Red Bull is baring down on the village. It'll raze the whole establishment to the ground."
Malenia coldly ignores the approaching Lelith, who seems to be conversing to her as if the Jedi owed her some sliver of her attention and acknowledgement just because they shared a race. Despite her aid with the Sith, Malenia still did not think highly of the Eladrin. In her mind, Those who demand the attention and acknowledgement of others, typically do no deserve it. Without a sound, she moves from the spot of solitude, to another location far enough to not be caught by wandering eyes or passing comments. In this instance she needed to be alone, to consider just what she had witnessed.
When once more she found herself without disturbance, her eyes lingered on the alloyed fingers of her prosthetic arm. Curious as to where and how an electrical current surged between them.

Malenia - [Monk - Way of the Jedi] - Auryn: Princess of Destiny
Delphinium's eyes go big with excitement as Jek explains what the Tri-force can do. "Oh! I mean, i felt all the power it has. Similar to the alicorn but way bigger. I will remind you I am the strongest fairy there is. Alas, I promised to give it to Gandolf and a fey has to keep their word." They look to Gandolf and give him just the cutest look "Unless, you know... I can keep it and get to use it!" They give the wizard a big smile. Either way they hand the tri-force to them as promised so they can deliver the tri-force to whoever needs it. They are the only one that can give them permission to keep it though as Delph promised to get it and deliver it to them.
The fairy lets Greko talk with Gandolf as they are asked questions. They take note their friends are all here and some new ones. When Travin asks where delph came from the fairy is only too happy to answer. "Oh! oh! That's easy! You see, the one called Slade tried to pull a fast one and I was trapped in a barrier thing and had to pass off the triforce. He took it then teleported away. Well, I wasn't going to let him get away so I used the Alicorn to follow him... only... it also responded to my other feelings too I'm a bit confused what happened but I just need to meet with my father and I can revive the unicorn. Oddly... I remember being mad at him... but I can't remember why now. Oh well, so anyway, the alicorn teleported me to Slade and well its never a good thing to be hunted by the son of the lord of the hunt. Never ends well. Killed my mark... although... I didn't think he was that weak. I don't even think I hit that hard!"
The fairy seems to remember something and asks Gandold "Hey! Gandolf... ummm, did my hydra eggs make it back with the others? I had Havoc Dart carrying them."
Then Lelith comes over and after giving a scolding to the others properly addresses Delphinium. The fairy is delighted and their wings flutter a bit faster in happiness, "Oh! Descendant of the Winter Queen, you are always so delightful and polite! You can certainly use my name of Delphinium or Delph if you so want, will it bring offense to you if I address you by Lelith? I accept your apology as well. The people here certainly make it difficult for us fey. Can you believe they don't even understand we can't lie? They are always making things so difficult! I've slowly been figuring out how they think but its been a long journey and lots of frustration. I just keep reminding myself they just don't understand and need a good fey to guide and teach them in our ways. I put in some good words for you with Atreyu, Gandolf and Shavaris. I'm sure my words did much to help aid you. I'm very glad they didn't lock you up forever, I was afraid I would have to break you out and I think maybe would of been upset at that."
At this time the light outside seems to vanish completely. Delphinium looks out at the sudden falling darkness and knows exactly what it means. Delphinium looks to Lelith and says "I think I need to do something very important. My friend, you are more then welcome to join as I would love to catch up but I need to return home to help the people here." Delphinium will wait for their answer before flying over to the wizard and saying "Gandolf, I can certainly go to Atlantis but with the sudden fall of night I believe that means you lost the unicorn right? If I'm correct then I need you to send me to my home in the summer court. To the manor of Lord Herne, Lord of the Hunt. Also known as my father. I can revive one of the unicorns."
"I'm sorry Delphinium. It's far too important for any single one of us to have it." Gandalf says as the Fairy asks him to keep the Triforce. He watches as the hyperactive Fairy bounces from one conversation to another. Gandalf scratches his beard when asked about Havoc Dart, then looks at the mirrors. "I suppose I should probably figure that out..."
He gently shakes his head at Delphinium's request to return to the Feywild.
"Stay focused." Gandalf says, his grim face turned toward the nearest window. "We don't let the Foe dictate what we do next. Stay the course, and then we'll adjust as appropriate. I need you to go to your friends and free Godzilla."
Delphinium hands over the Tri-force and says "Okay... I thought you all liked sunlight a lot. If you don't need me to get the unicorn then does that mean you release me from my obligation?" The tiny fairy seems to really be puzzling this one out and seems very very confused. Eventually they add, "I didn't realize big lizards were more important! Your world still confuses me sometimes. Okay. I guess I'm off to Atlantis then?"
Greko feels sadness washing away his cheerful mood from rescuing these folks and seeing Gandalf....he quickly turns to the window his bat, Baturday, flew through and sees the suns disappearing. He turns to the room and let's them all have it. "Look what has become of this realm! You who sit in this tower and talk and sit and talk some more....The last unicorn has been slayed. Schmendrick...of all in our order to protect the last unicorn, he takes it to Hagsgate where he could not protect himself let alone it! The fools you sent to Hagsgate have not killed the bull or saved the unicorn. They upset the whole foundation of Hagsgate by killing its king! You sent the least tactful of this entire party to Hagsgate where a mad king sits on the throne. Ward? Lady Kaede? Ereni!? They showed no tact or diplomacy to a king and a mad king at that! They attacked the king...and now it has ended poorly. The rest of you get up, get and get healed. There is no time to sit and idly shat about triforce, feywild, and Burt's bumps. I will take Lelith, Adam, and Jek to help bring down the bull and save those fools in Hagsgate before they all die by the hands of a raised skeleton army they caused! Gandalf send who you will to free Godzilla. Don't send anyone who would make a harder time for them." Greko gets on his bat and waits for the others.
"Who is Greko to berate the ones what went to their missions? Hmm? We was here, we was doings our job yeh yeh? Meanwhile Greko was deads! Hmm! In another time Travin played at Greko's funeral yeh! Let us rest a moments hmm? We have not hads the comfort of the grave to gives us pause, yeh! A healthy, prepareds rescue team is more effectives than a hurried one, calm your passions young man!, HMM!" Travin pokes a boney finger toward Greko, scolding him for his attitude, then turns back to Thea, Adam and Jek, making double sure that they are all ok.
Greko eyes Travin wondering just how old Travin is if he is calling Greko young....He sighs, gets down from the bat and twinkles brightly casting aura of vitality "That should hurry your healing up...now when you are ready to proceed unless there is more you need of me"
Lelith drew great satisfaction from Malenia's silence. At her friend's inquiry, she answered the fairy, "you may use my name, yes, it has been some time so I was unsure if I could use yours. There are very few mortals that can claim to be able to understand the Fey, I believe Greko is one such person, which is not entirely unexpected considering his lifetime with nature. He even touched our realm and gained power from it. I believe you'd get along should the two of you take some time to talk. Until we meet again."
Lelith politely addressed the great wizard, "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I have a request to make, once the situation is no longer dire and chaotic, there are some girls. Children. They were under the protection of the Twilight Embers before we assaulted the castle and I was separated from them. Rumble seemed to think beneath his notice to search or look after them even though they were entirely unrelated to my condition at the time. In exchange of this request, I and the Winter Court will owe you a favour of corresponding value."
Adam is gravely injured but makes it through the mirror fine and stands before Greko and Gandalf. He looks down at his sword arm, nearly cut off by the arc of Vader’s lightsaber. He gladly accepts the healing energy from Greko, and with a rest he is feeling much better, he moves his hand tentatively and is glad to see that the sensation is returning. He has a number of laser scar wounds and burns on his chest, arms from the battle. “Thank you Greko. You, Jek and Lelith saved us all. I felt that I could stand against Vader and take him down.” He looks down, still tired and worn from the battle, “I was wrong. In another few minutes I feel that he would have been sinking that red lightsaber through my chest. I need to further my training….” He pauses for a second, looking over at Malenia. “I stand ready to help you at Hagsgate or wherever you need me. Let me know when you are ready to go.”
After hearing an update and touching base with Gandalf, Adam walks over to Malenia and holds up his forearm, nearly beside hers. “I almost ended up just as you. You clearly know how to handle your lightsaber better than I do. And the other things that you can do….“. He looks to her with admiration and a genuine smile. “Can you teach me? Can I … train with you? I wish to learn the ways of the force and how to use it, for my own protection and to help us all. If it is possible, I would like to learn…”. He flexes his fingers gently, still getting used to the feeling returning to his hand, looking at each fingertip.
Afterwards he greets Travin and Jek, looking them over for injuries and congratulating them after their dangerous mission. Then he calmly assesses Delphinium as they are flying around here and there, listening and overhearing the fairy’s discussion with Gandalf. A worried look comes over his face. Delph seems…. different. Could this be what he was describing before? He ponders and continues to observe…

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Jek waves when he sees Lelith point in his direction. He's glad that she's trying to turn over a new leaf.
Jek listens as the others discuss there plans. He will sit by Darla, but lets her mourn on her own for a bit. After a few moments, she will move closer to Jek and curls up, resting while she can.
As he sits, he see Atreyu speaking with one of the elders. He'll go up to them. "Umm, hello. I was wondering. I don't have that many offensive abilities, do you have something that could help me with that? Anything that could help with the fight against the Red Bull would be greatly appreciated." The elder looks Jek over "You are the lightless, yes? Hmm, you don't seem as ill mannered as Piccolo and Qiwut said. I might have something for you. Take these rings, one on each hand. Perhaps you will find some use in them. Spend some time with them, and you should be able to figure out how to use them." Jek nods his thanks. Wait, Qiwut doesn't like him? Maybe he doesn't like pranks.
Jek will sit and rest with Darla, getting ready for the next part as best he can. He will tap into the energy of his Bloodwell vial to replenish some of his magic. The rest of the time, he will focus on his new rings.
After being healed of the wounds that Travin still has no idea of how he acquired, the junk person seems to be in a better mood, pottering around slightly making sure his pile is all there and attached correctly, though his eyes still wander over to shadowy corners and he scratches feverishly at his arms and head, he gives a nod of acknowledgement to Adam as his fellow Dawnguard member checks up on him, then gives a sad point toward the unconscious Birt, wordlessly making Adam aware of the situation.
Whilst wandering Travin can't help but overhear Jek's interaction with the elder, once the elder has left Travin approaches the shadow creature, but never quite looks Jek in his eyes... Orbs? In celestial Travin address Jek, "Travin may haves been quick to be suspicious of Jek hmm? Travin apologise for this, yeh!? A gift hmmm? something to helps Jek in the battle to comes, yeh yeh" Travin pulls a wand out of his robe and presents it unceremoniously to Jek, akin to how a child would show an adult a cool rock that they had found, "Travin is sorry fors your loss too hmm? Heard that an ally or a turncoat fells Travin dids yeh... Anyway, Travin has questions yeh yeh! Did Jek see whats happened after Travin fells down hmm? Travin got hurt, but didn't sees how yeh? Then Fireflight was there ands the grumpy lizard ands the girl with the lightsaber ands the fey one too." The whiplash of Travin's ramblings from sad to excitable is somewhat overwhelming.
Jek smiles at Travin's reaction to him. He's not unused to people avoiding his gaze. It can be disconcerting, having to look at his voidskin, or so he's been told. He blinks at Travin's statement, and reaches for the wand and takes it tentatively. "Thank you. This should help. I'm not the best at fighting, but I think I need to get better. And no need to apologies. We... probably should be a little more suspicious of people, even our friends. And, I saw. Umm, I'm not following all the names. So, Vader hit you with something. You went down and started mumbling. Your friend, Birt was it? He was frightened, but came and tried to help you.... for a bit. You have to understand, Vader can look into peoples minds, manipulate them. I think that's what he did. Birt was helping you one moment, then started attacking you. He was under Vader's influence, don't blame him...." Jek looks away at this point, back towards Darla. He says, more softly, partially talking to himself "He was under Vader's influence...." A single black tear falls, but it dissipates the moment it hits the ground. He shakes his head, then looks back to Travin. "Anyways, we have bull's to fight, yes? I think I heard a story about a bull once, giant bull! Raised by a giant who was a lumberjack. They would help people. But I think that bull was blue. Maybe that's what we need, a bull to fight a bull!"

I have a feeling you're going to be needed in Hagsgate. Things are getting very dicey."
Gandalf stops to eyeball Greko the White, and gives a wry grin.
"Hyboria always provides, huh?" He says and gives a mirthful chuckle. "Don't get comfortable. Take a few minutes and then prepare for Hagsgate. Hopefully they can hold out that long..."

As Jek touches the shadow of the Triforce of Courage, he enters almost a trance like state. When he opens his eyes again, they are shining a pure white light. The light is so pure, that it is almost saturates Jek's Void Skin. If Delph looks into the Jek's hood at this point, he would start to make out the vague outlines of facial features, not just a black void; a nose, short hair. In celestial, he will say "Coup Su!" He pulls back from the Triforce and his eyes will return to normal.
He looks at the Triforce, than at Delph. He will grab Delph's shoulder. "Delphinium, you must be very, very careful. What you hold is..... I don't know how to describe it. It is.... magic... power.... energy... All of the above. Its fire and water, earth and air. It's light and darkness. Evocation, illusion, necromancy, all of it. But, while you hold it, it will respond to you; your emotions, your fortitude. You must tread very carefully. It is raw power, and can be easily abused, even unintentionally. You must be strong, you must be courageous, and you must be good. You can do this! You must do this!" He will give Delph's shoulder a squeeze, nods to Delph.
The smash of the mirror shocks him a bit. He turns and listens to Gandalf. Then he hears a sad, quivering honk coming from Darla, as she moves to the shards of the mirror.

I just keep reminding myself they just don't understand and need a good fey to guide and teach them in our ways. I put in some good words for you with Atreyu, Gandolf and Shavaris. I'm sure my words did much to help aid you. I'm very glad they didn't lock you up forever, I was afraid I would have to break you out and I think maybe would of been upset at that."
At this time the light outside seems to vanish completely. Delphinium looks out at the sudden falling darkness and knows exactly what it means. Delphinium looks to Lelith and says "I think I need to do something very important. My friend, you are more then welcome to join as I would love to catch up but I need to return home to help the people here." Delphinium will wait for their answer before flying over to the wizard and saying "Gandolf, I can certainly go to Atlantis but with the sudden fall of night I believe that means you lost the unicorn right? If I'm correct then I need you to send me to my home in the summer court. To the manor of Lord Herne, Lord of the Hunt. Also known as my father. I can revive one of the unicorns."
"I'm sorry Delphinium. It's far too important for any single one of us to have it." Gandalf says as the Fairy asks him to keep the Triforce. He watches as the hyperactive Fairy bounces from one conversation to another. Gandalf scratches his beard when asked about Havoc Dart, then looks at the mirrors. "I suppose I should probably figure that out..."
He gently shakes his head at Delphinium's request to return to the Feywild.
"Stay focused." Gandalf says, his grim face turned toward the nearest window. "We don't let the Foe dictate what we do next. Stay the course, and then we'll adjust as appropriate. I need you to go to your friends and free Godzilla."

Delphinium hands over the Tri-force and says "Okay... I thought you all liked sunlight a lot. If you don't need me to get the unicorn then does that mean you release me from my obligation?" The tiny fairy seems to really be puzzling this one out and seems very very confused. Eventually they add, "I didn't realize big lizards were more important! Your world still confuses me sometimes. Okay. I guess I'm off to Atlantis then?"
Greko feels sadness washing away his cheerful mood from rescuing these folks and seeing Gandalf....he quickly turns to the window his bat, Baturday, flew through and sees the suns disappearing. He turns to the room and let's them all have it. "Look what has become of this realm! You who sit in this tower and talk and sit and talk some more....The last unicorn has been slayed. Schmendrick...of all in our order to protect the last unicorn, he takes it to Hagsgate where he could not protect himself let alone it! The fools you sent to Hagsgate have not killed the bull or saved the unicorn. They upset the whole foundation of Hagsgate by killing its king! You sent the least tactful of this entire party to Hagsgate where a mad king sits on the throne. Ward? Lady Kaede? Ereni!? They showed no tact or diplomacy to a king and a mad king at that! They attacked the king...and now it has ended poorly. The rest of you get up, get and get healed. There is no time to sit and idly shat about triforce, feywild, and Burt's bumps. I will take Lelith, Adam, and Jek to help bring down the bull and save those fools in Hagsgate before they all die by the hands of a raised skeleton army they caused! Gandalf send who you will to free Godzilla. Don't send anyone who would make a harder time for them." Greko gets on his bat and waits for the others.
"Who is Greko to berate the ones what went to their missions? Hmm? We was here, we was doings our job yeh yeh? Meanwhile Greko was deads! Hmm! In another time Travin played at Greko's funeral yeh! Let us rest a moments hmm? We have not hads the comfort of the grave to gives us pause, yeh! A healthy, prepareds rescue team is more effectives than a hurried one, calm your passions young man!, HMM!" Travin pokes a boney finger toward Greko, scolding him for his attitude, then turns back to Thea, Adam and Jek, making double sure that they are all ok.
Greko eyes Travin wondering just how old Travin is if he is calling Greko young....He sighs, gets down from the bat and twinkles brightly casting aura of vitality
"That should hurry your healing up...now when you are ready to proceed unless there is more you need of me"
Lelith drew great satisfaction from Malenia's silence. At her friend's inquiry, she answered the fairy, "you may use my name, yes, it has been some time so I was unsure if I could use yours. There are very few mortals that can claim to be able to understand the Fey, I believe Greko is one such person, which is not entirely unexpected considering his lifetime with nature. He even touched our realm and gained power from it. I believe you'd get along should the two of you take some time to talk. Until we meet again."
Lelith politely addressed the great wizard, "It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I have a request to make, once the situation is no longer dire and chaotic, there are some girls. Children. They were under the protection of the Twilight Embers before we assaulted the castle and I was separated from them. Rumble seemed to think beneath his notice to search or look after them even though they were entirely unrelated to my condition at the time. In exchange of this request, I and the Winter Court will owe you a favour of corresponding value."
Adam is gravely injured but makes it through the mirror fine and stands before Greko and Gandalf. He looks down at his sword arm, nearly cut off by the arc of Vader’s lightsaber. He gladly accepts the healing energy from Greko, and with a rest he is feeling much better, he moves his hand tentatively and is glad to see that the sensation is returning. He has a number of laser scar wounds and burns on his chest, arms from the battle. “Thank you Greko. You, Jek and Lelith saved us all. I felt that I could stand against Vader and take him down.” He looks down, still tired and worn from the battle, “I was wrong. In another few minutes I feel that he would have been sinking that red lightsaber through my chest. I need to further my training….” He pauses for a second, looking over at Malenia. “I stand ready to help you at Hagsgate or wherever you need me. Let me know when you are ready to go.”
After hearing an update and touching base with Gandalf, Adam walks over to Malenia and holds up his forearm, nearly beside hers. “I almost ended up just as you. You clearly know how to handle your lightsaber better than I do. And the other things that you can do…. “. He looks to her with admiration and a genuine smile. “Can you teach me? Can I … train with you? I wish to learn the ways of the force and how to use it, for my own protection and to help us all. If it is possible, I would like to learn…”. He flexes his fingers gently, still getting used to the feeling returning to his hand, looking at each fingertip.
Afterwards he greets Travin and Jek, looking them over for injuries and congratulating them after their dangerous mission. Then he calmly assesses Delphinium as they are flying around here and there, listening and overhearing the fairy’s discussion with Gandalf. A worried look comes over his face. Delph seems…. different. Could this be what he was describing before? He ponders and continues to observe…
A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Jek waves when he sees Lelith point in his direction. He's glad that she's trying to turn over a new leaf.
Jek listens as the others discuss there plans. He will sit by Darla, but lets her mourn on her own for a bit. After a few moments, she will move closer to Jek and curls up, resting while she can.
As he sits, he see Atreyu speaking with one of the elders. He'll go up to them. "Umm, hello. I was wondering. I don't have that many offensive abilities, do you have something that could help me with that? Anything that could help with the fight against the Red Bull would be greatly appreciated." The elder looks Jek over "You are the lightless, yes? Hmm, you don't seem as ill mannered as Piccolo and Qiwut said. I might have something for you. Take these rings, one on each hand. Perhaps you will find some use in them. Spend some time with them, and you should be able to figure out how to use them." Jek nods his thanks. Wait, Qiwut doesn't like him? Maybe he doesn't like pranks.
Jek will sit and rest with Darla, getting ready for the next part as best he can. He will tap into the energy of his Bloodwell vial to replenish some of his magic. The rest of the time, he will focus on his new rings.
After being healed of the wounds that Travin still has no idea of how he acquired, the junk person seems to be in a better mood, pottering around slightly making sure his pile is all there and attached correctly, though his eyes still wander over to shadowy corners and he scratches feverishly at his arms and head, he gives a nod of acknowledgement to Adam as his fellow Dawnguard member checks up on him, then gives a sad point toward the unconscious Birt, wordlessly making Adam aware of the situation.
Whilst wandering Travin can't help but overhear Jek's interaction with the elder, once the elder has left Travin approaches the shadow creature, but never quite looks Jek in his eyes... Orbs? In celestial Travin address Jek, "Travin may haves been quick to be suspicious of Jek hmm? Travin apologise for this, yeh!? A gift hmmm? something to helps Jek in the battle to comes, yeh yeh" Travin pulls a wand out of his robe and presents it unceremoniously to Jek, akin to how a child would show an adult a cool rock that they had found, "Travin is sorry fors your loss too hmm? Heard that an ally or a turncoat fells Travin dids yeh... Anyway, Travin has questions yeh yeh! Did Jek see whats happened after Travin fells down hmm? Travin got hurt, but didn't sees how yeh? Then Fireflight was there ands the grumpy lizard ands the girl with the lightsaber ands the fey one too." The whiplash of Travin's ramblings from sad to excitable is somewhat overwhelming.
Jek smiles at Travin's reaction to him. He's not unused to people avoiding his gaze. It can be disconcerting, having to look at his voidskin, or so he's been told. He blinks at Travin's statement, and reaches for the wand and takes it tentatively. "Thank you. This should help. I'm not the best at fighting, but I think I need to get better. And no need to apologies. We... probably should be a little more suspicious of people, even our friends. And, I saw. Umm, I'm not following all the names. So, Vader hit you with something. You went down and started mumbling. Your friend, Birt was it? He was frightened, but came and tried to help you.... for a bit. You have to understand, Vader can look into peoples minds, manipulate them. I think that's what he did. Birt was helping you one moment, then started attacking you. He was under Vader's influence, don't blame him...." Jek looks away at this point, back towards Darla. He says, more softly, partially talking to himself "He was under Vader's influence...." A single black tear falls, but it dissipates the moment it hits the ground. He shakes his head, then looks back to Travin. "Anyways, we have bull's to fight, yes? I think I heard a story about a bull once, giant bull! Raised by a giant who was a lumberjack. They would help people. But I think that bull was blue. Maybe that's what we need, a bull to fight a bull!"
