Cody takes a seat and starts stuffing his mouth with food. ShapeShifting and fighting Pit Creatures works up an appetite. Plus, it's needed to aid in Shifting Wounds and healing....
"I'll defer to your expertise on the matter of entertainments. Divination is an interesting twist. I wonder what it means when the Abyss keeps spitting me out, closer and closer to Amber. Maybe it's trying to tell me something"

" oh?" Brian cocks an eyebrow. " Or, maybe there are events that will unfold that your needed for? Destiny and all that."

"Destiny's a real son of a motherless goat."
"But, it would be nice to achieve something useful."

The play focuses on Lady Serenity's tragic pursuit of her lost love. Her heroism only expands the more she quests for the impossible.
" Or maybe its telling us we are both damned fools?"

Although the play is heart-rending, Cody laughs at Brian's comment. The other audience members shush him.

Indeed the more she searches in shadow the more she finds trouble. Eventually reconciling with her father Bleys.
The audience applaudes Brian does as well

Of course the play brings a tear to Cody's eye as he applauds as well.
"Action. Romance. A happy ending..."

Brian leads cody to the bar and sits in an isolated both. Bourbon is the drink at the table.
" My lady wife is pushing for kids and....frankly, an understudy to run things would be ideal....I need to come to terms with things and get answers before I do that. I need peace"

"Well... I come from a Matriarchy. So, I'd obey my Queen. But, then again, I'm a bachelor so my advice is worth what you're paying for it. However, who ever raised you appears to have done a pretty good job during your formative years and I think that speaks to the type of Father you'd be. I mean, you were decent and gentle with Wolfram..."
Cody takes glass of bourbon and raises it: "To Fatherhood and sorting out our own problems before we mess up the next generation."

I raise my glass in kind. "Well.....I had one man foster me outright....maybe two. But I've had to do things that are both Ethical and pragmatic." I swish my glass. "And my lady wife has put a blade into me. Small cuts with wounds that cut deeper. But she is pushing me toward the center of things. Whatever her agenda may be."

"Well, assuming it's true that having Amberite blood gives us some level of immortality, you've got all the time in the multiverse. Although, that may not be true for your dear wife. If her biological clock is chiming I guess you need to listen."

I laugh a bit "I am pretty sure she is older than me but......Once I get things at home to my liking I might want to explore the nature of the multiverse more. Also, we've been Isolationists to long"

"Interesting..." Cody continues to eat. "Here's a thought. Take an entourage out exploring with you. Then they can meet different folks and decide which ones to bring back to Ayalos. That way, you will be bringing guests instead of interlopers. That might help break the ice and make your folk a little less isolationist. Setting this as a mission might also buy you some time with your lady-wife too. Getting busy with official business might be better than just going out on your own to find yourself in her eyes."

" So. The legends speak of 4 invaders. Those who came from under the earth, one from under the sea,one who came from the air, and one over water. Men of learning and means say those were chaos, rebma, amber, and the golden circle " I sip my drink " But the truth is lost to the mists. All the associate outsiders with is invasion. Even though they are likely all of such stock."

"Or just your own local elementals getting cranky until your people put them back in their places... Just good old fashioned mankind taming the wilderness."
"On the other hand, they could all have been collateral damage in the Black Road War and the upheaval of PatternFall."
