In their telepathic conversation, Arber's thoughts resonate in Coltinar's mind like a soft whisper. "Elaydren informed me that some members of your group have only recently become acquainted," Arber begins, his mental voice carrying a tone of concern. "I've observed that you seem to hold a certain degree of care for Paladin and Arr. I have some concerns... especially when it comes to Arr,"  he continues, his mental voice tinged with a touch of uncertainty. "Tell me, Brother Coltinar, how much trust do you place in the members of your group?"

 Brother Coltinar continues the link, "While my intention for the link was not for privacy initially it can certainly be useful at times.  I tend to trust first until that trust is no longer warranted.  I have faith in my companions that they are of good character in general.  I am personally responsible for Paladin and Arr to some degree.  I am working with them as a kind of guide, and I am trying to give them more space to make their own choices.  They should be allowed to grow on their own and make their own decisions.  I have offered some small guidelines from the perspective of human and social etiquette basis.  From this point on I have taken a stance of let them grow on their own and interject only if is seems prudent to do so.  The others, while I call them friends.  I am still developing it.  Trust must be given to be earned.  I will trust them and should they not deserve that trust the Light of Dol Arrah will shine on them eventually if they do not deserve it."

Arber looks at Coltinar and offers a knowing smile. "Indeed, Brother, trust is the most crucial ingredient in any relationship. It takes time to build, and it's a delicate balance, but it is really important."

With Arr's agreement to have his shoulder piece repaired, Arber shifts his focus back to the practical matters. "Well, I´m happy to be useful even that I hope you don't need to use all this potions." He gives a slightly smile.
"Now, since Arr is ready, let's make our way to the armory."
"Actually," he speaks giving a glance to Rylia "before we head out... I noticed your cloak. It's quite beautiful and interessant. May I exam it for a minute?"

Bryn listens to the conversations but goes over to examine the potions. He holds up one of the potions of darkvision and looks around at the group.  "Anyone mind if I keep this one? Maybe you fighting types should take the healing ones. I wonder what this Elixer of Health does?" he wonders.

Brother Coltinar says, "Ah the elixer of health deal with poison, loss of sight and disease type stuff, I think.  The potions of healing cures wounds.  I might need a potion of darkvision.  Everyone take what you want or I'll put it in my bag for us.  Just let me know if you want it."

Brother Coltinar adds the 4 healing potions, 1 potion of invisibility and 1 potion of darkvision he wanted and 2 elixers of health to the bag of holding.  Bryn has the other potion of darkvision

Not fully sure if he can trust this noble figure, Braxiel will say, “You may be speaking truth now, I hope that continues in our future endeavors. One last question, do you by chance have a book that you love and can spare to me? It can be on truly anything. I am in need of a good suggestion.”

"Thank you Arber," Arr says as he slowly leaves the table and gets ready to go. "I'll try to be more careful."

Rylia nods. "A Final Messenger. That's interesting. Do most warforged have that? Do Arr and Paladin?"  She looked from one to the other. 'If they do have one, where it would go then? Who would it send a message to? Ah! And that darned messenger must have been how they knew to come after me and Bryn and nearly killed us!' 

After a moment of thought, Rylia again addresses Arber. "How long are Arr and Paladin going to be here? How long until they heal up? Hopefully we would all be able to stay until they are able to come with us?" 

Arber responded with a nod to Coltinar's explanation for Bryn's question. "Exactly!"
He then turned his attention to Braxiel's request for a book. "I'm sorry," he began, "but the books here are primarily for work purposes. I'm afraid I can't share those. Perhaps a cookbook? I love to cook! Although, I doubt it would be of much interest to you..."

The Master Artificer offered some additional insight to Rylia. "Not all warforged possess a Final Messenger," he explained. "Arr, for instance, doesn't have one. I'm not certain about Paladin, but he would know if had one. These are specialized components designed for specific purposes. For instance, they could be used to alert Lady Elaydren in case Arr or Paladin were dominated or faced a critical situation."

"The repair for Arr should take approximately an hour," he said. "During this time, you can have some food in the enclave's canteen, After all, it's already past 3 pm. Adam can accompany you. It will be an opportunity to explore the forge and familiarize yourselves with our facilities if you are interested in it. "

Could you confirm who doesn't have darkvision? (@Bryn I suppose you already have it as a trait)
@Rylia will you give your cloak to Arber?

(Changelings do not have darkvision =)

 "I would love a cookbook, I love all form of knowledge."

OOC -Brother Coltinar does not have darkvision...Kalashtar don't have that.  I think.  Its not listed as a trait unless I missed something.  BC can cast light at will though.

“Paladin is ready already?” Ask Arr as it becomes apparent that their stay extend for another hour at least. Then he  returns to sit down, awaiting further maintenance.

 (Rylia does not have Darkvision - human. And yes 9n the cloak... )

When Arber asks about her cloak, Rylia grabs one edge, letting the material slide through her hand.  "Umm, sure. I just got it last night."

She thinks, 'Cloak, fly gently to Arber.'

“Paladin is ready already?” Ask Arr as it becomes apparent that their stay extend for another hour at least. Then he  returns to sit down, awaiting further maintenance.

 "Well, Paladin´s damages were repaired,including a preexist malfunctioning that Ada detected and, Thanks to Onatar, I could fixed. But he might want request something else, I don´t know.
Anyway, as you, he only will be fully recovered after take a rest, I suppose." The Master replies.

Arber carefully took the cloak and placed it on the table in front of him. His keen eyes studied its design and material for a moment. Then, he walked over to the same cabinet he had accessed earlier, retrieving two small containers – one containing a red liquid and the other a blue powder.

Backing to the table, the Artificer poured the red liquid onto the cloak, and instantly, it burst into flames. For a few (long) seconds, the cloak was consumed by fire. Then, Arber sprinkled the blue powder onto the flames, making a cloak image emerge as if it were dancing.
Threads of different shades of blue appeared and began to intertwine as the cloak began to reassemble itself until it was whole once more.

With a satisfied smile, Arber walked to Rylia and handed the cloak back to her. "There you go. It will offer you a bit more protection now."

Rylia watches closely as Arber took her cloak.  Keeping back a few steps, her eyes widened in surprise as he poured something on it. The panic grew as it burst into flames. "Nooo!" she wails, looking, and sounding, quite distraught. "Why? How could you?"

She stands dumbfounded for those long seconds, until the blue powder was sprinkled out. She watches at first with silent curiosity, a small tear streaking down her cheek from thinking she'd lost her beloved cloak that she'd not yet had for a full day.  Her expression then turned to wonder as it reformed.

A little shaken from it all, Rylia takes the cloak as Arber returns it. "You could have asked first," she says a bit meekly, wrapping the cloak about her shoulders again.

'Alright dear cloak, please be okay. Ollandra, hear my plea and let this cloak be unharmed! Please still work,' she thinks.  She tries to will the cloak to flutter as though it's in a stiff wind.

Bryn would also inhale sharply when Rylia's cloak went up in flames...he knew how attached she had become to it and the sudden loss would be quite devastating. And, like her, her breathed out in relief and wonder as the cloak emerged from the flames and powder as good, if not better, than before!
