What am I doing? 6700

The other man there, who must be Dr Homles, said. “If you don’t mind I have a few questions about your papers. There are somethings that were a bit hard to believe.” Alice said. “I will do what I can to answer you. However, I was away from home as this was set up so am not the one that gave the answers.” He said. “That does help, I know mine would love the chance to put down silly things.” He smiled. “So for the first one, your age was down as 20 5 26 53? So which is it? Well I know it isn’t five and you don’t look 53, but 20 or 26 could work. Then your occupation is miner and guardian? Alice shook her head smiling a bit. “Well um, thing is they could all be right. See it depends on where I am but among humans I just say 20, as few care about other candlers. Likely they gave you all as I had gotten after Jordan for giving an incomplete answer not long before I left. The first age is alway the one that is right for the calender that is most likely used by the person asking, the second being that used by the race of the person being asked. Logans live longer and so measures time differently. It takes four your years for one of ours, but I am adult there as well as I have completed three lines of schooling. That is why the odd occupation. For all I would have likely just put archaeologist, which is what the miner should be. It is one of those that the translation does not match the meaning. The other I do not know how to explain. In relation to the expedition it would work to say ambassador, or envoy. That is I will be able to deal with most tripes and see that we are not attacked for crossing the lands they use.” Dr Holmes nodded. “That helps. I was wondering why you were down as needed for negotiation. I fear I failed to think of it being needed. The archeology must be why the climbing of old buildings. The silverware is your siblings, most likely. However why do you ask birds for stones? I can see yelling at them, there are times it is helpful to, but about stones?” Alice laughed. “Well um. It was not a normal bird nor a normal stones, for the most part. Granted there was a time to I just needed something to break a window, but still. It is not something I would have put down. Ii is unlikely to be important during the trip. Well there will be times I am talking to them, of course, One thing that all will need to remember is that not all that looks like an animal is one.” She shook her head a small blue dragon and a red bird appeared in front of her., and started scolding her. The bird ended in English. “You were to let us know as soon as the meal was over! That was the agreement. Not go running around without us. It is not fit. You are unarmed. You know better. The meal was enough risk. Last time we let you.” Alice shook her head. “Now Feather we all agreed it was safe for me here, that I didn’t need watching. There is not here that is a danger. You just don’t want me out of sight. I said that I would see you when I returned and that both of you should go check in. Not that I would call you. I am glad that they are well at home, and sorry that He didn’t like it that both of you were there. Yes after this I will accept that at least one will be with me at all times. Still it is a bit much. I am not out of reach even if nether of you is in sight.” They settled on her shoulders. “That was timing, but now you see what I meant. As Feather looks like a typical bird just now, but you see she isn’t. There will be others, some larger. Most will stay away unless there is something we need to know. However all young are curious and do things they know they are not to.” Fred said. “I told you to call them. I am surprised they let you go that long, and you look better now. No matter what you say it was troubling that nether was with you. We need to get started soon, or the groups won’t have time enough. Now we are braking into teams as that way you can have a small number to watch. Not all here are going to be fit, and some will not admit it. You three on at those tables over there. Yes Alice has the place nearest the corner, Grace you are at the next table, then Jordan. I know you don’t like it, but we needed you at different tables for now. Mist is in the center as that is where the rest of the med staff is.” Jordan nodded. “Separate tables is fine, dad. Likely it is for the best until the group is set. After all Jade is here.” He looked at Alice. Alice nodded. “Yes I will be fine not knowing any yet. I had expected to be put in a few such, for it is important that they get used to hearing me before it is danger not to listen. Many will see my youth and read it as inexperience. Come on and we will find our places.” They made the way to the tables and sat. It wasn’t long until the tables were filling and the meeting got under way. As Alice had thought things were pointless. However it did let them know she was from the west. Alice entered the room and found a place next to wall that would let her see the map, ignoring the looks. They would find out soon enough why she was there. She had to be in on the planing as she knew who could not be dealt with, and what they could not enter without causing offense. The other guide had not left the area that the east considered settled, but this expedition was going far beyond that. She blinked a bit in surprise as Niel came over next to her. He smiled. “This is a relief. I am glad to see that they did show some sense. Rexturn is the guide joining up in Grham, he sent me here to be a voice of reason. I will let him know you are here, that will help. He is stressed, Gaudian Willowbark. Just how? “ Alice said. “No need for that, Alice is fine. They called my father to join the expedition, and he had most of us come with him. I had in the past promised to come this far to meet my eastern family, and so that was used to get me here now. Some others are in the team, and the rest will be coming before we leave. I am glad that you are here. A lot are just going to see youth when I speak.” Niel said. “You earned the title you should use it. Yes at first, but they will come to see how wrong they are. Having your father here will help, but yes if there is something you feel I should say, just let me know.” Alice nodded. “I don’t think the leaders will be as bad as the others going. Will you be in the classes? You will see better who is a danger do to personalty. Also you can help Jordan when he needs to explain what I said, or explain to me what was meant. So far he has managed, but it might be to much in some of the classes. The best was when he was introducing me to a cousin then had to tell why he called me ghost sister.” He smiled a bit. “Yes I will be there and will try to prevent fights. It is going to hard on you not to start them in a few. I can see why they would think that, but that turn of phrase would confuse you.”
