*After being dropped off outside the Wolf's Howl Inn, phoenixflame feels exhausted by everything and decides to get some rest* *Morwena lands lightly on her shoulder, her feathers looking slightly mussed after the encounter with the giant serpent, and is muttering under her breath what she is going to do to the one that summoned it* "Morwena," Phoenixflame chides gently, " such language is unbecoming of one such as you" *Morwena looks peeved for a second and then brightens up when she sees the inn. " Does this mean we finally get to eat something? Hurrah, I'm famished!" *Phoenixflame laughs gently, glad to see her friend in high spirits again, and smooths the phoenix's feathers back into place, so they are once more shimmering with a silver and purple light* "So, should we enter then?" Phoenixflame asks Morwena, "though I hope they don't have a no animals policy" she muses *With that, Phoenixflame walks through the door of the Wolf's Howl Inn* (OOC: Hey guys, feel free to join in, as it's been awhile sine Phoenixflame was actively around, so she might need to be brought up to date on things Thanks)

[ModNote: It looks like that appearance from PhoenixFlame follows on directly from the last mention of her - *The Lightnigh strikes the copper wire and a million volts of mother natures own electirc energy pulses threw the body of Cryso-Mamba.* *The Giant snakes body jerks and withers as the electricity flows threw it. a Gastly sreik emits from its mouth and the smell of buring snake fills the air.* *Sudernly smoke pours from the giant serpents Mouth and then in a flash it's body bursts into flames there is another shrik from the dieing serpent and then it colaps into a flameing heap on the ground.* *Thinking quickly Tm counjours up a rain cloud to dose the falmes. When the fire dies down all that remains of the fersome snake is a black chared corpes.* *Tom averts his eyes as do Julia and Flamey Tom quickly mutters his teleportation spell and the 3 vanish from the school ground and re-apper outside the Wolfs Howl Inn. Tom instructs his freinds to return or to get rooms for themselves and recover from theri recent ordeal while he caries on the investigation and serch for Hordriss.* (OOC: This thread continues for Tom in Wolfende Town "A fleeting Glance") - though a lot of 'Surrounds time' has passed since then. This means that the above post is effectively an event in the past, and that following straight on from it could lead to confusion. So I think the first thing to do is press fast forward, so to speak, and bring PhoenixFlame up to the present.] *And so, as Tom Troughton heads off to look for Hordriss, PhoenixFlame and Morwena enter the Wolf's Howl. In spite of some odd looks being directed at Morwena, they are offered a room, and a hearty meal too. Time passes. The nature of the inn is such that a person can stay there for quite some time and remain in high privacy, scarcely disturbed by the staff and unaware of the other guests. There has, therefore, been no contact between PhoenixFlame and Tom for a long while. She and Julia haven't been in touch either: there are rumours that Julia left to go travelling ('knapsacking', as some folk call it) with Cassandra and Meliss, ex-pupils of the Knightmare Boarding School. And as yet, PhoenixFlame and former KMBS teacher Zeytan seem not to know of each other's residency at the inn. But lost acquaintances can be found again, and associations renewed, rising from the ashes of expired time like one of those birds, whatever they're called. [OOC: That brings PhoenixFlame and Morwena up to Surrounds' 'present day', i.e. the day of Leytan's hanging, ready for whatever encounters might be on the way...]

*Phoenixflame stretches in her room, glad to have finally got some rest afterher excursions in the school. Morwena was currently flying around the room, singing softly to herself as Phoenixflame regarded her pet with a quizzical smile*
"You seem happy Morwena, what brings this on?
*Morwena chirped and settled next to Phoenixflame, looking more and more like her normal self, with the sheen of her feathers returning*
"I'm just glad that you're feeling better, I was worried that you overexerted yourself before, what with that teleport spell, and then the summoning spell, and a few others that I could mention whilst we were away, you need to be more careful! " chided Morwena
*Phoenixflame smiled slightly* "I know, but, it's hard to get enough rest when we're travelling, so, I just have to use magic reserves, you know how it is! "
" I do" responded Morwena, " Ah well, I'm done scolding now, can we go get some food, I'm starved!"
*Phoenixflame giggled at that, and nodded. The pair then headed for the main part of the inn to get some food*
*As they were moving to the door, phoenixflame frowned, and murmured, "Lieve?" *
*Morwena, who had flown on ahead, glanced back/
"What did you say?"
"Oh, nothing, just talking to myself...." Phoenixflame responds, as she hurries to catch up with Morwena....*

[OOC: Crossing over from 'Looking for Leytan'.] *There is a knock at the door of PhoenixFlame's room, just before she and Morwena reach it to leave. More than one knock in fact, since very few people knock just once.*

*phoenixflame frowns slightly, she wasn't expecting anyone*
"Morwena, if you've asked for food to be delivered again...." *Phoenixflame mutters under her breath as she walks to the door
*she opens it and is bewildered to see Callimpsest standing in front of her*
"Callimpsest!" Exclaims phoenixflame, "How on earth have you been? What have you been up to? "
*As phoenixflame is talking Morwena, who was flying ahead dives behind her and seems to be hiding*
*Phoenixflame, not noticing Morwena's behaviour is still talking excitedly, as she grips Callimpsest's hand*
"Well, we were just about to get something to eat, would you care to join us?"
*She looks quizzically at Callimpsest, then realises that Morwena is hiding behind her*
"Mor, what ARE you doing? I thought you were hungry?"
*Upon looking at Morwena more closely, she is startled to see Morwena's purple feathers seem to have taken on a more reddish hue, almost as if she was blushing.*

*Callimpsest, who had not been entirely sure that he was even going find PhoenixFlame within the room, is overwhelmed by the warmth of her welcome.*
Headmistress! Thank Thoth. I am pleased to see you. We have both been residing at this inn for quite a time, but I found out only recently.
*Morwena's movement has caught Callimpsest's attention.*
I am glad to see Morwena too. But I appear to have startled her.

*phoenixflame frowned slightly at Morwena*
"Sorry, I don't know whats wrong with her!"
*Morwena flies out from behind phoenixflame, her feathers turning back to their normal colour, and chirps at Callimpsest"
"Hello, sorry.... I wasn't expecting anyone...."
*phoenixflame glances at Morwena then shakes her head*
"Well, if you;ve finished behaving strangely, how about we all get something to eat, as I recall earlier you saying you were ravenous! Callimpsest, you will join us won;t you?"

*Callimpsest considers making a small jest about a phoenix being raven-ous, but decides not to embarrass himself with such a mediocre pun.*
Ah. I ate not long ago. I was hoping you might join me in the Crazed Heifer. I know it offers little in the way of food, but the drinks are rather more affordable than those of this establishment. And the staff are well-acquainted with me.

*Morwena looks slightly distressed at the thought of not eating. Phoenixflame smiles at them both*
"May I suggest a comprimise? If you donlt mind waiting a little while whilst I get some food for Morwena and myself, I'll buy some drinks in for us here, and then we can head over to the Crazed Heifer? Morwena gets awfully cranky if she doesnlt get enough to eat!"
*She looks at Callimpsest to see if he agrees to this*

Yes, by all means.
*He steps politely back from the doorway to allow PhoenixFlame and Morwena room to exit.*
I'm certain that neither of us wants to ruffle Morwena's feathers! Which reminds me...
*Callimpsest gets out the tail feather he found, and offers it back to Morwena with a small smile.*
No doubt this would have a fine future as a nobleman's quill. But it is rightfully yours, and misplaced through no fault of your own, I would imagine.

*Morwena looks down at the feather*
"Where on earth did you find that? Well, if you want, you can keep it, unfortuantely, it won't re-attach! "
Phoenixflame looks thoughtful*
"well, we could try a glue spell!" she says, a mischevious look in her eye as she walks towards the door*
"Thanks" she adds as Callimpsest steps to the side, "Its always nice to see manners!"
*Morwena meanwhile is looking horrified at the thought of the spell she has just heard mentioned*
"No way am I trying that spell again, it took three months for my feathers to go right after you tested it on me!"
*With that indignant outburst, Morwena flies past both of them and hovers near the top of the stairs from them to catch her up*

*Callimpsest chuckles at PhoenixFlame and Morwena's banter, as he walks to the staircase and begins to descend.*
If I may say so, you are both in remarkably good spirits. Considering the carnage amongst which I found the feather, you must have been in dire straits in the not-too-distant past.

*Oh, we just bumped into a giant serpent that seemed to want to eat a wandering magician, and a former student of the school... Nothing to serious, it got on the wrong side of a lightning bolt!"
*phoenixflame smiled slightly as she said this, and followed him to the stairs*

*Callimpsest reaches the ground floor and the inn's dining area, where he finds a table for the trio.*
Good Gundishapur! No casualties, I trust? Other than the serpent. *More quietly* And the school.

*glances sharply at Callimpsest*
"No, there were no casualties, other than the serpent, and part of the outer walls.... The school was already devastated when I got there...."
*phoenixflame winces at the memory of the ruins of the school, and Morwena lands lightly on her shoulder, murmuring to her softly, it sounds to Callimpsest that Morwena is not speaking in any language that he recognises...*
*Phoenixflame straightens up, and nods at Morwena*
"You're right of course, we could always rebuild it, though as to your other suggestion..."
*Phoenixflame's voice tails off*
