The hidden records room settles into strained preparation. Leon remains pale and weakened, supported between Nayla and Jews, while Rosmira raises her phone and selects Brittany’s number.
Rosmira
Brittany, prepare the kitchen. We are coming to Stars Restaurant, and we need a private meal with enough strength to plan Fanrir’s sealing.
Brittany Star
I’ll clear the back room and start something substantial. Bring everyone together, and do not worry about the bill tonight.
The group travels through the chapel’s discreet route and rain-dark streets. At Stars Restaurant, Brittany opens the warded entrance herself, guiding them toward a secluded booth.
Jews
Easy, Leon. Nayla has you. Ros, sit beside him before you start solving the entire world on an empty stomach.
Warm dishes arrive, and the meal steadies the room. A rough map replaces the lost ledger page as they weigh Fanrir’s domain, Cerebos’s reach, and Leon’s freedom.
Nayla Iko
The seal must bind Fanrir without binding Leon. His wolf still needs a god to answer, but that god cannot own his choices. Rosmira, what do you propose?
✓ Quest Accepted
Seal Fanrir
“Well to be fair we have two gods of our own. Im unsure it would work for him but i have a better plan. We just seal him in a stone. WE clearly cant bet his power but we can out smart his pride.”
SUCCESS (Fair Reasoning, rolled +1)
Rosmira
To be fair, we have two gods of our own. I am not sure that would work for him, but I have a better plan. We seal Fanrir in a stone. We cannot beat his power, but we can outsmart his pride.
The rough map goes still beneath the lantern. Rosmira marks the old chapel seam, then circles a fault line beneath Fanrir’s ceremonial hall where stone and divine pressure already meet.
Nayla Iko
A prison he chooses by believing it is a throne. Fanrir would enter willingly if he thought the stone carried his authority.
Jews
And once he is inside, the seal answers his pride instead of fighting his strength. That is beautifully vicious, Ros.
Leon Wolfe
If it keeps him from using my wolf or forcing Nayla’s bond, I am willing. But the choice has to remain mine when this is over.
Nayla places her hand over Leon’s, and the agreement settles between them. Rosmira’s plan takes shape as a dark, polished stone formed around the copied route’s remaining resonance.
Nayla Iko
Then we lure him with sovereignty, seal him without touching Leon’s will, and leave every one of us free. I accept that plan.
“well tonight i think we did enough just getting everyone back so i say we get some sleep. Brit any chance yuo got some rooms to sleep in?”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled +1)
Rosmira
Well, tonight we did enough just getting everyone back. I say we get some sleep. Brittany, do you have rooms available?
Brittany’s expression softens as she surveys the exhausted group. Beyond the private booth, the restaurant’s warded upper floor waits in quiet readiness.
Brittany Star
I do. Three rooms, already warded and stocked. No charge tonight. You have all earned a safe place to sleep.
Relief loosens the room. Brittany signals an attendant, a young adult woman with a slim build, warm brown skin, braided black hair, and a neat cream blouse beneath a dark green waistcoat, who brings three brass keys and directs them toward a private stairwell behind the kitchen.
Jews
That sounds perfect. Leon gets the quietest room, and nobody argues with me about it.
Leon Wolfe
I am not arguing. I am grateful. Just let me know where Rosmira is before everyone disappears.
Brittany places the keys in Rosmira’s hand, the metal warm from her palm. Upstairs, soft beds, clean blankets, and steady wards promise the first uninterrupted rest of the night.
+ New Item Acquired
Brass keys
“ok but tonight and only for tonight we switch it up. LEon and jews yall take a room and me and nayla get the other one. I think tonight me and this wolf should "talk" all night.”
SUCCESS (Legendary Conversation, rolled -1)
Rosmira
Tonight, we switch it up. Leon and Jews take one room, while Nayla and I take the other. This wolf and I are going to talk all night.
The brass keys glint between Rosmira’s fingers. The exhausted group pauses, then the room’s tension loosens into surprised, affectionate amusement.
Leon Wolfe
That sounds fair. Jews and I will take the quieter room, but I want to know you are both comfortable with this.
Jews
I am comfortable. Though, Ros, if your all-night conversation becomes scandalous, I expect a full report over breakfast.
Nayla Iko
I accept, provided talking means talking, and either of us can stop whenever we choose. I would like the chance to know you without an audience.
Brittany Star
Then it is settled. I will have the second room prepared for you both and keep the wards tuned to privacy, not confinement.
Leon and Jews take one brass key, while Nayla accepts the other beside Rosmira. Upstairs, the warded rooms wait with clean linens, quiet warmth, and no demands beyond honest conversation.
