Sunbeam Lair a toast to new beginnings

eligius, bhediya called with a friendly smile, how are you settling in? the others hadn't arrived yet, but she wasn't concerned; the call was explicit in its voluntary nature. it was an opportunity for her to catch up with eligius, the newest recruit.

the seraph patiently awaited his response, but found herself somewhat distracted by the sound of distant sobs. she looked to see if he'd also heard the noise, then stood and began to walk toward the lair's entrance. c'mon, she called back to him, hoping he would follow.

the distressed stranger quickly came into view. she spoke a foreign tongue, one that bhediya responded to with, i don't understand, slow down. the sylph continued, explaining that she'd lost track of her companion. where did you last see her? bhe asked, wondering if she'd perhaps seen her in passing.
