Who: Geir and you
Where: The Palai market square
When: Day 58
Open/Closed: OTA
[at the height of the Uvi attack yesterday, right before the turning point of the battle, a summoner with some Qri-granted empathic powers told his dragon that their forces and the Palai were tiring -- and a short while later, a second wind flooded into the defenders to help them push off the last waves of Uvi attackers. in the impulse of the moment, Geir was able to channel his new ability into the defense, concentrating fiercely on all the coven members and even some Palai warriors who needed his strength to protect the city. it certainly didn't make the final difference in the tide of the battle, and the effect varied per person, but just as certainly, many of the coven might have felt it…
unfortunately, any magic comes with a cost. Qri's is no exception.
between the effort it took to use his power and the sheer number of people he tried to help at once, Geir is now… curled up in a melted puddle of dragon in the middle of the marketplace -- the only open part of the city close enough to reach and big enough to hold him. he looks like he's not going anywhere any time soon.]
A (in person)
[Geir's bones ache, and it feels like every footstep in the city is reverberating through the backs of his eyeballs. if you're unwise enough to both venture into the ruined marketplace and stop to take a look, Geir slits one of said eyes open to glare balefully at you.]
Don't just stand there. Turn the sun off.
[as snappish as he sounds, his voice scales up to a more plaintive growl by the end of "off." why. why this.]
B (telepathy)
[once Geir has kept his eyes closed long enough to ease his headache, he sends a strangely soft, ignorable voice message to anyone who might pick up on it:]
Is everyone okay? Did you all make it through all right?
[his telepathy is tentative -- he's still not good at it -- but he does care, after all.]

[his tone isn't really certain, but he's obviously willing to explore the idea.]
In fact, it'd be kind of weird if we didn't go up there to check things out more sometime soon.

[SIGH.
...then he replays what he just said in his head. that's something he has no ability to do; he's not a bard who can memorize lists, or a scholar who can write them down. but Kosuzu...]
--hey, could you do that?

...Like, figuring out who has which kinds of special skills? That could actually be really useful!

[Geir only has a hazy idea of what kinds of things would be involved in such a records system, and he has a bibliophobe's recoil from writing everything down, but it does make sense...]
But that way, when there are battles and things, people can keep it all straight.

O-okay. Good! That's good.
