[Artifact PRP] The Orphic Wildwoods (Ignatius/Brenley)

[Seiana_ZI]

Ignatius stopped looking for just a moment to visualize that particular image. He came up with something after a moment, and burst out laughing.

"I really can't see you rolling around like a scareon in leaves." Which was meant to say he totally could and it was hilarious.  

[Smerdle]

"It's not something I would normally try, but I'll do it for us. For the owls." He shook his head, chuckling.  

[Seiana_ZI]

Ignatius smirked. "For the owls? They might be disappointed!"  

[Smerdle]

"I hope they are. Or it. I can't decide if it's more than one." Where was this portal?  

[Seiana_ZI]

"Maybe we shoulda brought Piper," remarked Ignatius, full of jokes and snark since they apparently lost the portal. "She seems to be pretty good with birds."  

[Smerdle]

Bren involuntarily perked up at the sound of the ghoul's name, but shook his head slightly soon enough after that. He really didn't want her seeing him screwing up so many times. "She certainly is good with them, but I could see her turning the thing on me on purpose for payback just as easily."  

[Seiana_ZI]

Ignatius definitely caught the way Piper's name made Brenley perk up, and he couldn't help smirking a bit. Luckily for Brenley, Ignatius did not immediately start teasing his Obvious Crush.

"Oh probably," Ignatius laughed. "Pretty sure she'd find a way to get me somehow too."  

[Smerdle]

"Yes. Luckily she doesn't seem to have an affinity for spiders or we'd be even worse off."  

[Seiana_ZI]

The thought of Piper having an affinity for spiders, after being in that terribly tight constricting spiderweb of terrible choking death, made Ignatius shudder a bit. "Agreed. I'll take birds any day."  

[Smerdle]

"Where is this thing?" Seriously. It had been right there.  

[Seiana_ZI]

Ignatius shrugged. "Maybe those owls sealed it up."  

[Smerdle]

"That would be a shame considering how many vine monsters we've fought."  

[Seiana_ZI]

"You know, we've gotten pretty good at fighting those things. Steamrolled it last time."

As Ignatius said that, he caught sight of the portal. "There it is! Follow me." Gesturing towards the portal, Ignatius ran at it and into it. Time for another round...  

[Smerdle]

Even though Ignatius had literally said "there it is," Brenley still couldn't find him or it.  

[Smerdle]

He checked under a rock.
