Comments

Ena's brow furrows when she hears that Connie can't go back. "...Did they get to your village, too?" That wasn't a good thing. That meant that whatever caused this had already spread, and that this girl wouldn't be able to get back home. But it was looking more and more likely that taking her along would be the worst choice. What do, what do?

"She's alive," Ena responds, regarding the lady the two men are now placing on a nearby miraculously in-tact cart. "I wouldn't have been able to detect her if she wasn't." She looks to the obviously frightened Human girl then back to the two men. She had a bad feeling about keeping her with them, but she couldn't quite place her finger on it. But letting her come with them wasn't a decision she should be making on her own in the first place. She calls out to one of the men again. "Musa?"

No response. They continue to move on their own, complete disregard of her. She feels a flicker of frustration and calls out again: "Musa!"

Still no response.

"Why isn't he listening?" she murmurs to herself, then turns her gaze back to Connie to study her.

Roll Sense Motive

[conniemaheswaran]

While Ena is calling out to her companions, Connie looks at them with a more critical eye. Since they were obviously friends of the elf, why weren't they reacting to her cries? The way they were moving with that woman seemed suspect, too. With something to focus on other than the death and destruction, Connie's mind clears slightly. What exactly was going on here?

[rivieran]

After a brief moment of study, Connie would be able to tell that there isn't any particular malice on the part of Ena's companions. They're concentrating on the woman, whom they both seem to be particularly fond of, and not exactly ignoring Ena intentionally. Rather, it seems that they're more... unaware of Ena's cries to them. It's like she's not even there.

Ena, on the other hand, is too bewildered to notice this. She's upset - there's a child here that needs to be taken care of, and both Humans (who are both fond of children) didn't seem to want to spare them a thought.

Without a word, she grabs Connie's hand and marches over to the men. "Musa!" she yells again, this time more firm. She reaches out to grab the shoulder of the armored Human and whirls him around. Despite being the only one taller than Ena and in heavy armor, Musa turns to face her easily, but his gaze doesn't make contact with her own - he looks right through her.

Ena gasps. "M-Musa? Hello?" She gives him another shake, but he just stands there like a doll.

Well, at least this gave Connie a way to snap Ena out of it. Hopefully. She'd still need to be delicate, though; Connie was fairly certain that if she tried to brute force the memory it wouldn't work. Letting Ena drag her along, Connie says, "Uh, I'm... getting the feeling that this isn't a prank. Think back, Ena, um, remember... has anything like this happened before?"
