Nari carefully inspected his surroundings, pausing to listen to indistinguishable sounds or sniff at the air. He was quiet though, following dutifully behind Edogawa, who followed Agata. "Thank you, for guiding me to the other port, senorita. I have much to learn about the island." - - - D5, EM, Ease Tension, Awareness/Courtier, Merenaese FR, 1 CR, TN 22, Foreign Heritage: 7d10o10k3 21 |

 "I am happy because of it, Senor. I stay at the mill most of the time but the church is on the other side. I cherish every opportunity to get back and pray." The guide archeress replied, kneeling for a moment. "We must be careful here. Not all predators may have returned from prowling to their lairs." |

He followed her lead, quietly kneeling in place. "What kind of predators?." he asked in a hushed voice - - - D5, EM, Stealth/Agility, Untrained: 3d10 16 |

"Leopards. Great spiders." She uttered slowly as she rose and moved on under the mist. |

"I see." he looked down at Nari with concern as they followed the woman. "You mentioned a church? Could you tell me about it?" |

"The Church of Kharsis' Mercy is our parish on La Isla. It's also been my home for most of my life. Padre Alvaro, our parson, brought me up there." She carried on cautiously. |

He was silent for a time as they moved, waiting for areas where she seemed more relaxed to speak. "I confess, I've never been a very religious man, but I have a few questions of a spiritual nature. Would the padre speak with me?" |

"He will speak to any and all. Kharsis has mercy for every being and Padre Alvaro knows how to do Her will. We are all Her flock and She's our shepherd. Even if one lamb strays, She will follow the lamb to the precipice or to the darkest valley to save it." Agata replied with genuine solemnity. "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for Kharsis is with me." She smiled, looking around their dark valley. |

"Does anyone live out here, or is it simply too dangerous?" he asked after a few more minutes of quiet. |

"I think it is too dangerous, but I don't know for sure. Those caverns may run deep, perhaps up to the cliffs, where the lepers live." |

"They've never been explored?" he asked with surprise. "I suppose there's no need, but it seems like something that might have been done by early settlers." |

"Both ports seem to have all people need." She shrugged. "I don't know, Senor. I am only fifteen springs." |

"You seem very capable, regardless." he smiled. "I am certain I could not make this journey without your help. Not this way, at least." |

"Very valuable skills." He nodded. Unfortunately, they are not skills I was taught. I am a builder and a sailor, at best." |

"So was Kharsis, who delivered the Radians through the narrow seas unto the lands where Conquest could not reach them." She smiled. "Your hands can bring about much good, Senor, with what they can do." |

"There is never too late for that, Senor. Whatever our sins, Kharsis can help us redeem them in Her infinite mercy." She looked back at him to smile reassuringly. |

He was quiet again, for a time, as they continued through the gorges. "Do you travel this way often?" |

"No, but the storm made the jungle passage difficult to traverse." She replied, abruptly halting him with a gesture and pointing to the shape in the mist on a ledge in the side of the canyon. |
