The Hidden Village: Passing the Time
The crew had made it to the village where the Tapestry was supposedly hidden, but for now, they had to wait. According to the Rom, the path to where the Tapestry was hidden would only open once night fell.
That left them with a fairly good chunk of time on their hands, as well as a rather large Rom settlement to explore in the meantime.
It was rather hard to believe the expansive village was completely isolated from the outside world, but somehow it still thrived. Many younger Rom could be seen flying to and from the many small buildings built right into the forest. Despite the fairly advanced look of all the technology spread throughout the village, everything appeared to be rather ancient.
Still, there was quite a bit to do to pass the time. The central marketplace of the village was rather active, and the crew could always use more supplies. There were also a number of places to get food and drinks.
Most of all, it would be a good opportunity to learn more about the Tapestry and the Rom--along with their connection with the crew's destiny--by asking around. After all, if they were going through all this trouble for the damn thing, they might as well find out more about it.

And lest anyone thing they were intending to be anything less than professional about it, he glanced around. "Would anyone else care to participate? My interest is primarily magical, so having other disciplines might be of use."

"Perhaps, if it's needed, we can coordinate attacks based on strengths and what would be most compatible, as well?"

She gave an easy smile across to Hoshi, "Just bear in mind, they may not intend a test of 'worthiness' to be offensive power alone," She commented as she swept her gaze through the village, after all, to be worthy had many possible meanings.

He rather suspected this test of 'worthiness' would be brutal at best. Given the circumstances, if the crew was expected to prove 'worthy' in any sense of being able to alter the very destiny of the multiverse itself, at this point...

"I'm still in the process of learning more about the power from my partner, Philip, so I'm not entirely sure if Double can fly just yet," she explained. "As for scouting, I can try my best."

"I shall speak to some of the locals as well, see what they know," She commented as she watched one of the Rom flit from one building to the other, "If there is a market as well, we may yet be able to acquire more supplies for the ship, I've my gateway should supplies need to be rapidly transported, as long as there is no interference within the village,"

"Either way, four seems like enough for scouting. Shall we be off, then?"
He reached out to touch Celena's shoulder, just for the sake of the contact before they got to business proper.

He mirrored her gesture as well, so that whichever of the the pair didn't choose Celena could climb aboard. And gave brief thanks that Celena was not the jealous sort.

But, those thoughts were spared for another day, anyway.

"Ready when you are Aibghalien, hold on back there," she gave a dip of her head and crouched back ready to spring to flight once Aibghalien had taken to the air.
