"Yes, I've heard. Through focus of your mind you become able to learn and do things most individuals cannot... Unfortunately, my love is in the arcane... The study of the Weave and its interactions through out the worlds. Learning to channel and control it is intense. So I focus my time on learning that. It does not leave much time for other studies."
Rip knows that pixie dust can serve as material for certain spells. For example, if rubies or other valuables are needed for the casting of a lower-level spell, pixie dust can substitute.
"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."
"Ah, runes! A great area of interest for me, but never one of deep study. I prefer the whizz bang pop of wizardry! It's such a diverting pursuit!"
// Unless anyone wants to try doing something else special with their downtime, let's say you are approaching the end of a tenday onboard the cloud. Feel free to narrate what you've been up to for the last few days; sleeping, eating, practicing skills, conversing with each other and Zephyros, etc. //
During the rest of the time on the cloud castle, Angel will spend his mornings practicing his Martial Arts; always working to perfect it and become a true Master of the Way of the Sun Soul. During the afternoon he tends to spend a little bit of time with everyone. Angel is a people person and loves to help everyone in any way he can. He'll talk with Ink in Giant and Elvish so Ink can mark down any differences between the dialect Angel learned and the dialect Ink knows. He'll discuss Rip's plans for his book and work out a few sketches with him so Angel has an idea of what Rip wants when he paints for his book. He'll spend some time talking with Flint about religion and learning about Dwarven Gods/Goddesses from him. With Zephyros Angel would ask him about Art and if Angel could fly with him again in order to paint the view of the land from up here. Finally, with Marav Angel is content with just sitting with him enjoying and communing with nature.
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."
Insight: 20
//Finally a good roll when it could actually help.//
"Nefarious! Funny word," Zephyros chuckles. "Never been called nefarious. Crackpot, yes. Nefarious, no.
"I think," he continues wisely, "that insects make up their own part of the world. Without insects, we would not have flowers. Or certain spell components!" Zephyros stops talking here, and continues to muse and mull things over.
// As far as you can tell, the giant wizard seems like a friendly individual. Not committed as an ally, but certainly not an enemy. A help in time of need. //
"I will choose to believe in you Zephyros. While we are in your home here in the clouds we will protect your household and help you when we can. Our paths might diverge in the future, but for now we are aligned." Marav bows, content that for now at least Zephyros doesn't mean them any harm.

//I think I narrated all I could regarding Zephyros, let's just say similar conversations throughout the ten-day exchanging knowledge. By now, I would've re-summoned an owl familiar... Not sure mechanically if it's the same owl or not, likely not, but I'll name the owl Quill nonetheless. Any time not spent with Zephyros is with the others getting to know them and taking notes on history, personal or otherwise. //
"Uh-huh. Did you know Ink that there are some Monks who understand and speak every spoken language in the World?"
"Yes, I've heard. Through focus of your mind you become able to learn and do things most individuals cannot... Unfortunately, my love is in the arcane... The study of the Weave and its interactions through out the worlds. Learning to channel and control it is intense. So I focus my time on learning that. It does not leave much time for other studies."

Over the next few days Marav communes with nature as best he can from the sky, makes sure his armor is in good shape, sharpens his blades, etc.
He will also continue to talk to Zephyros to make sure he is truly an ally, at least as much as he is able considering his obvious instability.

Flint will have asked Zephyros (probably several times) "Can'ye conjure up a forge an' smithy fer me? T'would make the days go quicker...."
