On The Road - Emprise du Lion and Western Approach

[the_effect_she_has]

WHO: Christine Delacroix, Merrick Ashara, Samouel Gareth, Korrin Ataash, Kain Highwind, Katniss Everdeen, Cremisius Aclassi, Rachette Dakal, Salvatore, Dismas, Clint Barton, and Fenris
WHAT: Movin' right along, to our separate missions ...
WHEN: First week of Haring
WHERE: The Frostbacks - riding, camping, general hijinks
NOTES: Warnings for sarcasm and probable showing off.

The journey through the Frostbacks is, of course, a grueling one, but only if you are traveling alone. The Inquisition scouting forces are, without a doubt, not alone. Not by any stretch of the imagination.

So clearly, new stories and new friendships or hatreds are just waiting to be written...

Christine's experience is far more in line with the typical story given to Korrin, who would see it much the same way. She nods, a small frown on her lips upon hearing that. "I've heard that much, and that they deliberately tried to keep you ignorant, so you'd have to rely on them. There's so much wrong in that I don't know where to begin. Life outside isn't without risks, but it's cruel to deny it all the same, and the tools needed to survive. At least now you'll be getting a crash-course, and I bet you'll come out the stronger for it."

It'll be difficult, especially given the amount needed to catch up, but then nothing worthwhile is easy.

Christine is quiet for a moment, thinking over Korrin's words. While she has a point, Christine can't help but add something to that.

"There are different kinds of strength. Here in the outside world, I am out of my element, but back on the inside, we had to be strong for many reasons: so we didn't become Tranquil, so we didn't become possessed, and more. My resolve can play a role in this crash course I am on now."

Thinking that over, Korrin flashes an approving smile. She knows there must be a lot to Circle life that she doesn't understand, and for a long time, didn't care to...but the more she hangs out around Circle mages, at least the reasonable ones, the more she can see their own strengths.

"Well said. If you have a strong will, it can see you through, it can see you through just about anything. Now, are you comfortable? We're not going to break for a while and if you're not quite there, trust me that you'll be feeling it before long. I'd rather give you the chance to adjust first."
