Trust me, it is better for all that I have cut a long story short.
Now, I wonder: have you, perchance, encountered any pegathors in the forest?
*While the question is directed at Robin, Callimpsest glances at Meliss and Red, hoping that his mention of pegathors might spark some recognition.*

*Phoenixflame is standing talking at the bar to both Morwena and the bar staff* (OOC: I'm thinking there are some people still serving, other than the girls currently engaged in conversation with the other parties if there's a problem, please let me know, and I'll amend ) BIC "Would it be possible to get some wine, and possibly a rather large glass of brandy, if possible" *Phoenixflame asks with a wry smile as she realises how she must look to the staff after her battle. As the barman hands over the drink, and she hands over the money to pay for them, Morwena flies over to the table where Kenji and Julian are sitting, and calls a low crooning note* "Alright already, I'm heading over there!" Phoenixflame says exasparatedly as she picks up the drinks and heads over to the table. Morwena lands lightly on her shoulder as she sits down next to Julian and Kenji* "I don't think I've introduced myself, my name is Phoenixflame, and I'm the former headmistress of the school, and this is Morwena. "

'Pleasure to meet you, Miss Flame!' he replied, shaking her by the hand. 'Professors Julian Lapis and Edward Kenji, Real- you know, we really need an abridged introduction, we seem to be doing it a lot lately.'
'I TOLD you we should have had those cards made up', grumbled Kenji. 'So, Miss, uh... Phoenix?' he began, but began coughing awkwardly. Thankfully, only Julian could recognise this was Kenji's time honoured means of suppressing a laugh.
'Sorry, very dry in here. Former headmistress? So, you were a teacher as well?'

*Phoenixflame and Morwena glanced over at Kenji, and Morwena said lightly, "Would you like some brandy?"
*Phoenixflame suppressed a smile at what Morwena said, then turned to them*
"Yes, i was the co-headmistress of the school,unfortunately, it;s been closed for quite some time now, what about yourselves, I get the feeling that you're not really from around here"

They stared, open mouthed.
'Jules.'
'Hmm?'
'The bird.'
'What about it?'
'It spoke. It just asked me if I wanted a brandy.'
'Yes, yes it did.'
'Would it save a lot of time and effort if I just went mad right here and now?'
'You can if you want, but you might give our new friends the wrong idea.'
'In which case I won't. I will instead accept the talking bird's most gracious offer.'
'You do that.'

*Morwena and Phoenixflame glanced at each other, Phoenixflame grinned wickedly and if birds could smirk, Morwena was definitely doing so*
"Would I be wrong in thinking you're not really familiar with magical creatures?" Phoenixflame asked,which would've sounded very innocent, if it had not been for the glint of mischievousness in her eyes*
*Morwena laughed gently, then nudged the glass towards Kenji*
"I'd drink that before she decides to change her mind, and she'll drink it instead!" Phoenixflame said with a laugh Morwena normally gets this reaction, don;t worry!"

Pegathors? No. Have you been partaking of some of the special crops, my dear Callentisting?

Special cr... no no, how could you suggest such a thing?! And I will overlook that abattoir treatment of my poor name. I was hoping that our fellow drinkers would experience some nostalgia at my mention of pegathors, but they have not done so demonstrably. *Callimpsest proceeds to tell Robin all about the Pegathors at KMBS, and the possibility that one may be at large in the Forest of Dunn.* [OOC: As detailed here: kmbs.proboards12.com/index.cgi?board=fam&action=display&thread=1065790943 . Maybe now Meliss and Red will remember. And perhaps Zeytan has heard of pegathors too.]

[OOC: Sorry, I admit I'd forgotten all about the Pegathors until the link to the thread in the Boarding School was posted! I recently went back and re-read some topics, but not that one]
*When Phoenixflame went over to the other table with Morwena, Meliss smiled and nodded her head in acknowledgment, and Red decided to cheer up a bit. Now Meliss waits for a gap in the conversation before she adds her contribution going on around her. One comes after Callimpest's description of the Pegathors to Robin*
"Aaah, the Pegathors...such noble creatures! It's been so long a while since one has seen one of them...I think one afternoon I shall take a walk in the woods and see if I can find any. It would be lovely to see one with my own eyes again"
*She pauses for a moment, then continues*
"I think I shall go over and sit at Phoenixflame's table. Apart from getting the chance to talk with her again, I still need to meet the men at her table, I'm not familiar with their faces. Please excuse me for the moment!"
*She stands up then makes her way over to the table where Phoenixflame, Morwena, Ed Kenji and Julian Lapis are sitting - Red flies over and lands on the tabletop*
Red: "Miss Phoenixflame, would it be ok if Meliss and I joined you, Morwena and the gentlemen here?"

*Zeytan sips his glass of wine.*
"Ahhh Pegathors such majestic and nobel cretures."
"I alas have never had the honnor to gaze upon one with my own eyes."
"Maby one day soon i will venture into the Forest and see if i can inded find one. It would make a fasinating subject to study for my new book."
*Watches Meliss and Red depart to the other table.*
"Excuse me gentlemen but i to would like to make the aquintence of these two men, they seem to be scolers and teachers not unlike our selves. Do excuse me."
*Zeytan gets up and makes his way over to the other table.*
"Excuse me Headmistress but would you mind if I ..."
*Some bubbles float upwards from the floor. Zeytan looks down and see's a some what disgrunteld Malark looking up at him.*
"Oh sorry would you mind if WE joined your little table also?"

*Owen, having served PhoenixFlame and Morwena at the bar a short time ago, has been talking with Slevela. She tells him about the incident with Zyssa. Frowning, Owen departs into the back room, where Zyssa has been waiting out of sight. Soon, shouting and crying can be heard coming from the back room. Lanesra looks worried.
Slevela sighs and walks over to Robin and Callimpsest's table.*
Slevela: Callimpsest, remember I said that there'd be a month of free drinks for whoever mended the roof? In the heat of the moment, I think I was being rather too generous... what's more, the landlord and his watchful eye are back now. But there's not a doubt you did us a good turn by making sure that repair was complete, so I'll let you and your table have your current round for nothing.

*Phoenixflame smiles at Red, Meliss, Malark and Zeytan*
"You're more than welcome to join us, if these gentlemen don't mind?" The last is directed to Julian and Kenji
*Morwena is busy looking at Kenji to see whether he will drink the brandy or not*
"I really would drink that quickly, she has a fondness for brandy, says it reminds her of home." Phoenixflame said with a smile to Kenji
"Professors Lapis and Kenji, may I present Meliss, one of the former students from the school, and her companion, Red. This gentleman is Zeytan, one of the tutors at the school, and his mire-crab companion is Malark. Mor, would you mind asking Callimpsest and the gentleman with him if they'd like to join us, so we can all talk together?"
*At this, Morwena flies over to where Callimpsest and Robin are sitting*
"Hello Callimpsest, how are you? Phoenixflame was wondering if you two would like to join us at the table, I'm sorry sir, I'm afraid I didn't catch your name" This last is directed to Robin, as she settles lightly in front of Callimpsest, silver light glinting off her feathers*

*Callimpsest thanks Slevela, who returns to the bar shortly before Morwena arrives at the table, and issues her invitation.*
Thank you, Morwena, that is most gracious of you. I did feel that Robin and I were a little forsaken by Zeytan and GreenDragon's abrupt decampment. There is a small project I wish to undertake elsewhere before darkness falls, with the help of Robin and any other willing volunteers; but sunset is still some way off, and I should like to tarry here and join this new table of wisdom. *To Robin* And further to that, Young Grimwold will surely be back here soon.
*The piper is playing Moon Chavs.*

My name is Robin.
A project, my dear Callouslimpet? I'm intrigued. Why would you need my help, precisely? You don't need to get across a wall or something, do you? Tried that once and it's an experience I'd rather... what I mean is, tell me more.

*Smiling* I shall, I shall. But first, let us relocate as our local phoenix suggests, and see where the breeze of new conversation blows us for a time. *More quietly* And perhaps encounter someone who can and will properly pronounce my name!
*Picking up his drink, Callimpsest crosses the room and takes a place at the new 'KMBS + transdimensional academics' table, nodding in greeting at those already seated there.*
