"Aye, but she's a busy woman and I dinna want to bother her owermuch," demurs Caroline. She watches the little ones play with a smile, remembering when her own daughter was just a wee tot.

"If not Valelldia, then talk to Oqaia. She's helped me a great deal in the past, and seems to know quite a bit. Even if she says she doesn't." Lorelei smiled, playing with her braid absently.
Vanna's third eye closed reflexively, and she giggled. That tickled! Then she caught a glimpse of Kalpana, and smiled more, third eye open and staring at the furry creature. She reached out and petted the badger's head.

"Yeah it was Oqaia who helped me help Amkia to grow. She may help you!" Heather smiled, it was nice to just chat to the others, even if it was because the birds were being annoying. Her bird was out of his cage he seemed to like flying off and then coming home though whether that was a good thing or not she didn't really care. Her Banya bird liked freedom.
Amkia giggled as Vanna did and also stroked the badgers head before turning to try and tickle Vanna again, it amused him as she shut her third eye and giggled!

The badger seemed to enjoy the attention she was getting from the children, and she patiently allowed Vanna to pet her head.
Boy did it feel nice! She looked up at the little girl with the third eye, nuzzling her hand with her nose and wagging her tail happily. They were friends already, and the little badger was excited!
Turning to the little boy, Kalpana sniffed at his feet. What was he laughing at? Was she funny? She poked her nose into his leg, sniffing it, seeing what he would do. Soon after, she got a pet from him as well. Wagging her tail again, she was obviously pleased to have new friends.
"Oqaia did come to my wagon to help me release Kal from the charm...I'll bet she would know about the fortunes. She seems to be pretty invovled with Val," Irina said, nodding. Both women seemed quite knowledgeable, and Irina would trust either of them to tell her the meaning of a strange fortune.

Lorelei nodded along with all the praise of Oqaia. "It's decided, then - if you think Val's too busy, head for Oqaia!" She laughed and sat back a little, watching the dying embers.
"Besides prophecies, has anything else happened to anybody? Anything strange?" Lorelei pursed her lips. "Turns out the wagon I found was haunted... I just recently cleared the malignant spirit away. Anybody else have something like that happen to them?"
Vanna stopped petting Kal for a moment when Amkia began tickling her again. She giggled and squirmed, then finally fell over, pushing Amkia away and clinging to Kalpana, laughing.

Heather nodded in agreement.
"No I haven't had anything strange happen like that, unless you call Amkia strange!" She smiled down at him as she watched the children playing.
Amkia giggled and wondered whether it was possible to tickle the badger and started to stroke her neck carefully. He was clever and though he looked young his mind seemed a little older!

Leshya'e sighed and exitted her wagon, brushing her hair and looking deep in thought. Seeing some of the others gathered and speaking, she walked over and joined them. Sitting and listening to them, she found that she was not alone in her feeling. "My Banya spoke something strange just recently," She interjected, "Not sure what I'm supposed to do about it...It wasn't very clear in it's instruction."

"Just recently, you say? Hm. Maybe I should go back home, then - see if Aleysius has anything to tell me...
"What did your Banya say?"

"Something about dancing..." Leshya'e finished brushing her hair and put down the brush. She then began to braid back her hair as she tried to recall the words accurately. "Dancing, Dancing...No danger for the Dancing girl." She nodded and then furrowed her brow, "But it doesn't make sense. Anezka doesn't dance much, so does it mean that she should dance more or take lessons to remain safe from danger?...Honestly, It seems like this was meant more for Caroline and Rojiza, not my Anezka."

Marissa stumbled into the circle, bleary eyed. She'd just woken from a nap and relized a gathering was going on. Kale trailed behind, seemingly fastinated with a sparkly, thinly hammered piece of silver metal he'd found on the grond. It was round, obviously trash, but it glinted!
Marissa sat. "Hello darlings, what are we talking about, now? Did someon mention Banyas? Because I just had the strangest dream."

Heather looked at the more coming towards them. "I am just going to go and see if mine is saying/said anything." She picked up Amkia and rushed back to the caravan where lots of interesting things happened. (check wagon if ye want to read)
As she came back to the circle, she was carrying a very different looking Amkia, his glow alot darker and he looked rather sick, Heather was really white and walking at her heels was a Jaguar, whos green eyes looked over the others and then licked her lips.
"I don't like my Banya bird anymore..." she spoke softly holding Amkia tightly and looking down at Kala, "So much for two loves....." She gulped and sat back down, holding Amkia close and away from the cat that laid at her feet, the green eyes watching the others, especially the badger.

Lor had followed Heather's example. After all, if Banyas were giving fortunes...
She came back earlier, though, also white as a sheet and cradling Vanna, who snuggled against her mother to comfort her. Lor stroked her hair, then watched in wonder as Heather returned with two animals. Vanna stared at Kala, back feathers twitching slightly.
"I'd have to agree," Lor said quietly. "This seems to be a good day for odd Banya fortuntes..."

"Dancing, ye say?" she inquires in Lesh's direction. "Aye, I'm teachin' wee Ro to dance." She breathes more easily. "No danger for the dancing one gives me no reason to fear for the moment, eh?" She smiles. "Perhaps the Meij wants us to come together and work this bonnie wee puzzle out. Mayhap that's why it gave us fortunes applying to other people in the caravan."

Kala stared back at Vanna for a while, her tail twitching. She wasn't going to do anything stupid, not yet anyhow.
Heather let Amkia down on the floor away from Kala and he instantly crawled over to where Vanna was, she was his new friend!
Heather also listened in to the conversation at hand. "Dancing? I use to dance alot, it was my stress relief to dance, calmed me down alot."

"I was dreaming about my Banya," she said casually, unaware that it wasn't a dream at all. "She told me that even though the wagon is safe, the Puppet is not safe..." she gulped, knowing full well that her son was that puppet. "Kale is.." she began, not sure if she was ready to share what happened with the medallion. She decided against it. "Well anyway. I suppose that means the lower balance of power that PhoenixSong is in. Then she said...beware the Woodland Choice. I've no idea what that means...ah well, it was just a dream, right?" she said, laughing it off, looking around the circle for encouragement.
Kale moved his shiny piece of metal in his hands, watching the reflection of the sun. He spotted Ro and grinned. Toddling towards her, he held out his treasure, eager to show it off to someone who would appreciate it.
