warforged | Welcome to the City of Artists. [OPEN]

Who: Greensworn and you
What: Befriending Derenaar
Where: Derenaar and surrounding areas
When: July 12-20
Warnings: bad Darnassian grammar, possible demon killings

[OOC: This post is for any and all interaction with Derenaar and the Greensworn helping the elves from scouring demons to rearranging the greenery to other daily quests up to and including showing other Dragonsworn around. Please remember to add your tag to the post.]

[When the Greensworn arrived at Derenaar, they weren't entirely sure what to expect. Were these elves going to be like the Sin'thalas elves and wish their destruction because of some grudge against the dragons? Or would they be more like the elves of Silverglen Retreat, willing to allow them access and trade but stay distant? What they hadn't expected was - after a lengthy conversation in Darnassian between Rose Hathaway and the elven leaders of Derenaar - to be welcomed in with open arms to the city.

With it being better than initially expected, the Greensworn set about proving themselves by helping out in Derenaar. It seemed a bag of demon heads and a few Kaldorei druids that still honored the Green Flight went a long way.]

[It took Rose a moment to realize that someone was talking to her. She managed a nod before leaning down to press her forehead to the ground as if she could gain some kind of stabilization from it.

At least that urge to throw up faded.]

Probably. If I pass out, just... just drag me into the lodge I made.

[He kneels down next to her, looking concerned]

Did you use too much magic? [Glancing at the tree. Yeah. He's pretty sure doing something like that was beyond his current power levels] And hey, don't pass out on me yet. I have some water, if you need it.

Way too much. This is five times worse than healing myself.

[Squeezing her eyes shut a moment long, Rose finally pushed herself up only to sit her butt on the ground. She made the most pathetic sight right then with her hair plastered to her face probably looking pretty pale. She hastened to pull her hair back.]

Water sounds wonder. Thanks.

Yikes, that's bad.

[He doesn't care so much if she looks pathetic or not, right now he's just on worry. He grabs his bag and pulls out his water flask, offering it to her]

It's no problem. Here ya go! Drink as much as you'd like, I can always get more.

[Taking the flask with a hand far less steady than she'd hoped, Rose took a couple small drinks before pouring some of the water into her hand. She splashed that onto her face before using her cloak to dry it.]

I don't suggest trying that yourself. But at least we have a home here.

[She handed the flask back.]

Or we will once we get it finished.

[Hey he likes to think he's more careful than- oh who is he kidding he's totally reckless and would overexert himself if the opportunity came up. He turns his head to look back at the lodge]

Yeah, it looks really great! Wanna check out the inside? I'll help you get there.

Yeah. Let's go see if this was worth it.

[She offered a tired smile as she held a hand out to help her to her feet. She swayed a little at the dizziness that came with it, but she steadied herself using Sora's shoulder.]

It's really just one big room with a space we can add a door. At least I think I laid all the roots inside back down.

[Which she had... except for one, sticking up in the left side of the chamber.]

[He takes her hand and helps her out to her feet, allowing her to lean his weight against his while heading towards the tree. Maybe he doesn't have super strength like Rose, but he's not a weakling either]

One room's more than we got in the Sanctum!

[Seriously, some days he feels like he'd kill for a bed. And slowly, they make their way up there, looking impressed as he reaches that doorway as he doesn't really notice the one root right away]

Wow!

Man... I didn't get that one back down.

[Rose stepped away from Sora into the chamber and made her way over to the root. It was bigger around than any of their flight and stuck up enough that there was a small gap between it and the ground. It did make a small section partially separated from the rest of the chamber, but it did look out of place.]

I'm too tired to put this one back down into the ground. Think we can manage with it?

[He follows after her, titling his head a little at the root.]

If we can't, one of us can take care of it. You're not the only one who can control plants.

I've actually never tried to work something another greensworn's already worked. Though I suppose it makes sense that it wouldn't matter.

Huh.

Yeah. I mean we're just asking the plants to do stuff, right? So, so long as we don't give them conflicting requests, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

[He grins some]

But even with the root, this place looks great! You've gotten really good, Rose!

[That made a whole lot of sense. Though it did make her wonder what would happen if the plants were given conflicting things. Maybe she'd ask Morpheus at her next Darnassian lesson.]

Thanks for the confidence boost. Other than being strong and fast, back home dhampir don't have any magic or fancy powers. I spent a lot of time the first couple weeks I was here figuring out what being dragonsworn gave me.

But this... this is the biggest thing I've tried to do. So glad the tree didn't decide to beat me senseless.

[Abominations is what. Abominations.]

[He gives a small laugh] Maybe you're a fast learner! I'm used to having magic, and I'm still getting the hang of these new powers. I don't think I could do this.

[Still with the smile, he rubs the side of his face, as if in painful memory] But at least I've learned not to practice with thorny plants!

[THE HORROR.]

Haha, I ended up leave a lot of sinkholes about the Sanctum. The dragons eventually got around to fixing them, but I'm pretty sure Sheena fell in one of the ones that got missed when she showed up.

Don't tell her it was probably my fault.

Oh! So that's where those came from!

[It explains everything. But he grins]

Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me!

She'd probably kick my ass if she found out. [Wait a minute...] You didn't fall into one, did you?

Me? Oh, no! Just...a few close calls, haha!

[Thank goodness for good reflexes]

I wouldn't worry about it. With how wild our Sanctum is, you can't even tell they aren't supposed to be there!

Thank God.

[Rose slid down to sit on the floor and lean against the root.]

I think... I think I deserve a nap. Then we can all work on getting this place livable.

[She grandly (as much as she can while exhausted) gestured to the open area like she'd see Queen Tatiana do.]

I hereby christen this the Green Lodge. Because I am so full of original names right now.

[He laughs] You're the boss! Green Lodge it is!

[He stretches a little] Yeah, you earned it! Rest up!

I'm gonna go back into the village. Want me to get you anything to eat?

If you all come up with a better name, let me know.

[She closed her eyes.] No thanks on the food. I don't think it'd stay down right now. I'll be good in like... an hour and a half. Don't worry about waking me if you want to start working on the inside here.

Heh, I'll...leave that to Lyn. She's more into naming things.

[He gives a little nod as he turns to head out] Got it.

Sleep well, Rose! I'll seeya later. [And he's heading on out of there!]
