Jessica steps aside to get dressed, and brings the native voile back with her. "It said... ok, first, -what- was talking to me? It said it was Old Medicine, you said it was the equivalent of the Tuatha.... do your people have a name for it? It said I was crowned three times. What did that mean? The hummingbird is a symbol of war, do not feed it, that I can understand; avoid feeding war. I'm trying. What did it mean 'raining blood'? Red sun and raining blood, that's when your people lose their medicine? Sounds like that's not the only thing that could be lost. What circle, what waters did it mean in the same breath as not feeding war?"

"It's closest to a god" he explains, "And the names vary, did you know tthe Aztecs believed every age had a new Sun god? But I am not sure if you spoke to the sun or the sky. Others tribes had different stories. Ourr tribe hasn' had such a visitation since 2012

"

She nods. "What do you advise?"

"I think it is time for you to see our village up close. Wiser heads than I should talk to you. I wonderr if the waters it spoke of were your spa?"

Jess nods. "The thought occured to me."

"Constance, remind me please I need to talk to Demos about patrols."

She makes a note "yes, Countess. " A moment, "Countess? Raining blood could be another reference to War, but...it could have tto do witth the red Court of the Formorians. War rises in the world, THAT elder dark gains power"

Jessica nods. "Great timing...." she mutters.

"Aint it always tha way" Clem frowns

"Ok. Otem, other thoughts?"

Otem ponnders "If the mainnland nunnehi attack with such an omen over our head, I fear fighting will fuel this, wile not fihting will lead o our deaths. Death in peace, Damnation in war."

"Will they not see this as an endorsement of my hopes for peace?"

"Why should they believe you? the mainland Nunehi I mean?" He reminds "WE believe you, tthey will not"

Jessica lifts the outfit in her hands. "Evidence?"

OOC Does her cloak read as a Treasure also?

OOC: It does

BIC: "Perhaps" he nods "But it won't be enough"

"What -would-?" she seemed amazed that it isn't sufficient.

"I don't know" Ottem says "Forgive me, Jessica. I know whatt you want, assurannces and answers"

A sigh. "No, I get it, Otem. I understand. Very little is sure. For -your- people, though, it would be evidence enough? Um. What does this cloak -do-?"

he looks it over "It allows you to resume the form you were in. Flight is now in your power, Jessica. Of course"

"Of course." Jess murmurs "That could help." a pause "I'll need to practice."

"It'll come to you" Clem says "mmm" She smiles "Guess that saves glamour"

"Thank you, Clem." she say sincerely.

"I just stumbled onto this... " Clem reminds

"Yes, but flying was your idea." she points out.

"Ok, so... ways forward."

"Otem, you'll talk to your people, tell them of this development? Um. Is this cloak a Treasure of -your- people?" she frowns at it.

"I will talk to them" he says "No. It is your gift. Keep it , as you said, it is evidence"

Jessica nods. "Alright. Thank you. Constance, Clem.... anything else?"

"Just what we spoke of earlier.. might be another way toh elp" Clem is vague not mentioning the treasure that Gwydion holds

Jess seems puzzled for a moment, then nods. "Right, right. Yes. That's.... complicated, too."

Otem looks curious but does not pry

"Alright, then. Constance, please note the Treasure and let Diego know but I'm going to keep custody of it for now.
"

She nods "Done. You realize I will want more details from you and the Chief later?"

"Yes, of course. I told Otem most of everything I remember but we can review it. And Clem, if you don't mind, get with Constance and give her your insights?"

"Don't mind, Westward," Clem offfers

"Thank you. Ok. Anything else? Sorry our hike kind of got derailed, Clem.... but kind of not sorry, either."

"I Hear that" Clem chuckles "we'll hike another time. I'll fill in what I recall .. and I should probably head home"

"If you're sure?"

"I want to stay, but you and I both know; I'd just start fretting and feelingg guilty after a time."

A smile. "You'll think of us when you eat that goat."

"Ha" A smile returned "I will. You enjoy that venison"

"I will."

Otem says "the giftt you gave my people, the meal will be great, the seeds you provide, will lead to more still. "

"Thank you for as well, Clem."

Clem says "Where's there's a DeBuke, there's a way"

And out she goes

Otem looks at Jessica "you choose your friends wisely"
