"Happy to do so, I hope you can find your family and have lots of children.  I enjoyed my time with you a lot. I will miss you Hless."

She will bring him down to the nice green grass.

"Come get fruit from the big tree before you go! It's really good!" Hless urges.

Jade looks to Ariadne, "It wouldn't hurt to try the local fruits." She let's Hless lead her and will try out the fruit here.

You go over to the huge tree.

The fruit growing off the tree is easy for you to reach (not so for the bunnies) and seems like kind of in-between an apple and a plum, maybe? Only just a little bigger than a big apple?

However, they also don't quite seem ripe yet. "Oh, they're not quite ready. No wonder none of them are on the ground yet. Well, each of you take one with you, and then wait a few days! Then they'll be ready! But just take one each, or else they'll take much longer to ripen."

"Would you like for me to pluck a few for you and your friends Hless ?"

Jade studied the fruit and will let it ripen like Hless said.

Ariadne took one of the odd fruits down, looking at it carefully

"Oh, no, they'll fall off for us when they're ready," says Hless. "We like them a bit soft..."



It smells nice-- a little like a pear, maybe? But it's very hard. It's easy to believe that it's not ripe yet.

Jon smiles at Hless' excitement. "Good Job Jade, you are amazing." as they arrive and Hless confirms that it is his home.
Jon listens to Hless' advice and only takes one fruit.
"I am happy we were able to bring you home, Hless, I wish you the best."

Jade smiled at Jon for the compliment.

She then looked at the verdant fields and hills with trees.
"Your home is quite lovely Hless. You just be careful and warn your people when their are storms. I am sure you will have wonderful stories to tell them all about your adventures."

"I suppose they'll have to believe me, after seeing you here too! And I for one will definitely stay safe in a burrow at the first sign of any more storms!"

Ariadne smiled at the others
"I'm glad you're back home, Hless."

"Would you ever like us to visit Hless ?"

"That probably depends on how everyone here feels about outsiders "

Jon nods agreeing with Ari.

Jade tilts her head, "We're not outsiders we are friends."

Ariadne smirked
"That might be a bit presumptuous, cousin.  We don't know what kind of experiences these guys have with outsiders in general "

"True that merchant was a poor example of us."

Hless listens to all of this. "I think... I feel that you are welcome to visit... but... don't show anyone else the way. But... no one could even follow you, could they? You seem like an especially magical family. I don't think anyone could come here but you, if a magic storm didn't bring them here by accident. Could they?"

The cousins think... No... But what about the Chaosites, and the Gray Men, and the Black Road...? It would be terrible if the Black Road ever came through here... Maybe you should check back on Hless every now and then...?

Ariadne paused to think, then shrugged
"I  mean, there was very few people who can travel between worlds like we can, and the are an incredible number of worlds to go to.  So, mathematically, it's possible but incredibly unlikely."

She looked around for a fast second, then back at Hless.
"It's a bit like this:  it's like if a leaf fell off a tree in another part of the forest, so far away from you that you couldn't see it with your eyes.  And as the leaf fell, the wind caught it, and carried it around on the breeze until it landed here at your feet.   Now, the odds of that happening are not impossible, but they're definitely so small that they seem like it"

Jade nods listening to Ariadne's explanation.

Jon nods and smiles "Excellent analogy Ari! That makes it all make more sense to me."
He looks at Hless "Ari is correct, it is not impossible and I feel that I can speak for the three of us that we will not lead anyone but our family here and only those we feel very comfortable with."

"That sounds fine then," says Hless. "Come back in the spring, perhaps." He twitches his nose in the bunny version of a warm smile.

Jon nods to Hless "Thank you and I look forward to seeing you again."

When everyone is ready, Jon focuses and begins their journey:


OOC: 17:26, Today: Jon rolled 8 using 2d6 ((5,3)).

Ariadne tried ro pay attention as best she could, both to where they were going and how it was done

Gives any tips she can to help Jon out but mostly stays out of his first travel through shadow.
