Ink asks, "Angel, why don't you ask Zephyros about what pixie dust can do before you...." Ink stops mid-sentence just in time to see him throw a poof on Marav.
Angel will look at Ink with a happy go lucky but slightly mischievous grin and throw the dust. Once he sees what Marav is doing his face drops and he goes
“Oh my Lathander. What have I done? Are you okay?”
"You fool! Pixie dust is toxic to orcs and half Orcs!" Rip knows Marav's playing and is playing along, but struggling not to burst with laughter. as soon as Marav reveals that he's teasing Rip will lose it.
Ink discusses general Arcana with Zephyros, just wanting to learn anything he can about spell casting and shaping the Weave. He's particularly interested in levitation and flight spells, given their current situation, and now, given their new "friend" stalking about, some basics on summoning spells and the extent of control or lack thereof of the creature summoned.
Beyond that, he begins asking questions about the Ordning and giant society, seeing how it lines up with his own notes. Pressing on the mention that the recent actions regarding Tiamat may have led to the shattering of the Ordning... Ink is confused by the connection.

Marav gestures at the giants height, "Not as high as we hold you of course." Marav chuckles at his own joke. "Seriously though, if it comes down to it, whose side are you on? The giants or the rest of the world? I mean, I hope it doesn't come to that, but something is going on and the giants who aren't you are causing some serious trouble."
"An intriguing question!" Zephyros had said. "Aren't giants part of this world? So, to be truly for side is naturally to also be for the other. Giants need the world, and the world needs giants, yes?"
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Marav flies up to the giants eye level, crosses his legs floating in the air with his hands resting on his knees (//Zen style//) and continues his conversation with the giant.
"Yes, of course you are right, but from what I have seen most giants are not really aware of this. We don't notice if we step on insects, and most giants see us thusly. Though the difference between insects and us are quite different. What I wish to know is if you are truly our ally, or if you simply are using us to some nefarious end of your own."

//Finally a good roll when it could actually help.//
Zephyros agrees to assist you in copying some spells into your spellbook, but cautions, "Reading my entire spellbook would probably melt your little mind!"
He is impressed with your knowledge of the arcane, and says, "Yes, it's rather easy to master the art to levitate things! Just have to remember to keep your concentration...or else, splat! Ha ha!
"But ooh...summoning elementals is a bit more tricky. That magic might be a bit beyond you. And you have to be careful because they can be very wily! Thankfully, I can comprehend languages with an easy spell, and I'm accustomed to dealing with them. Not the best house guests.
"Speaking of which, do you know the message trick? You can talk to someone a little ways off like you're whispering! Very handy. Or mouthy. I use it on my tower to speak to the griffons."
"Thank you, kindly, for the insights and knowledge. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. These giantish variations of the spells are so very interesting. I still am not a true master of your language - it is quite ancient, after all - but it's greatly interesting, particularly in the use of runic magic... Very old stuff... Quite interesting."
Ink is gleefully taking notes during all these conversations. The joy he takes in learning is palpable.
"Ah," Ink replies, "thank you for the offer Angel - I'm sure the dialect spoken by your firbolg friend would provide further insight into the evolution and spread of both giantish and elvish. Along with studying my own native language as required since a child, I've only just started learning giantish and draconic about sixty, sixty-five years ago, so there are still obvious gaps in my knowledge."

"I've never heard of Pixie Dust being toxic only that it is magical."
In a hurry, Angel will use his Healing Hands on Marav hoping it will "neutralize the toxin".
Marav you regain 4 HP from the Healing Hands.
Ink mutters at the sight of it all, "This is going to get strange real soon...."

"He is!?!" Angel then looks to see Marav flying.
"He is, and look he's flying. This is great. Now you don't have to turn into a bird."
