Mindlight shook her head, mouth drawn in a thin line of upset. "All I have with me is my pike and my knives. What I had on me when I - when I came here." She took the waterskin gently from Choice, blue eyes scanning his young face. She attempted a smile for him, hoping to reassure him. "Thank you."
Her gaze turned to Tinder, nodding. "I'm sure he is, if he's anything like my family. They will never stop looking." She took a swig of the water, careful to roll it around in her mouth before swallowing. Passing the skin back to him, she stooped and picked up her pike.

No-Sting came more or less bumbling into the Beacon Room, burdened by makeshift lash she and Goldenbraid had made to transport the fresh meat. There were of course worse burdens to carry - food was a blessing after the spares nights they'd had since being snatched to this cursed place - but it made for a hindrance when greeting newcomers. No-Sting gave a nod to the new elf, other news too close to the surface of her mind to fully take in the new elf's distress.
"Varessi is gone," No-Sting said to all the gathered elves. "The scouts found her helmet and nothing else. No blood and her pet bird isn't anywhere in sight either. They'll keep looking for her, but thus far they have no idea of what's happened to her." She took a deep breath, pushing aside her own worries. While she'd not been close with Vareesi - there had been no time too, having only know her for a handful of days - Swift-Wind was out there with whatever danger had befallen Vareesi...
"Only good news I've got is that there's plenty of food here now." She shrugged to indicate the lash with meat. "We need to preserve it somehow though. The snow outside could help, but that might draw unwelcome visitors to the cave."

"Pike and knives are plenty contribution," Choice hurried to say as Mindlight had spoken. He didn't want her to feel unwelcome or in their debt. "We don't have many weapons for hunting yet so anything to help with bringing food in is more than good." He paused and pressed his lips together into a thin line. What if Mindlight wasn't a hunter? There were other things you could use weaposn for...defending against humans being one thing.
Before he could work up the nerve to ask Mindlight about hunting, No-Sting entered the Beacon Room. The smell of fresh meat was a very welcome one, but her words put him on edge. "Gone?! D-did the humans take her?"

No-Sting's revelation left Keleero in stunned silence, the question he'd asked Mindlight forgotten in the wake of such ill tidings. Vareesi was gone. Gone.
"It has to be the humans," Keleero said once his thoughts could form into words again. "What else is there that can take an elf away without leaving a bloody trail?! Sure she'd have sent to us if she encountered any other elves?"
An idea nudge at him as he spoke. The Beacon was still and without light for the moment. But did it need to glow to work its magic? What range did it have? And did it just pull elves here or...
Not the time to speculate, Keleero reminded himself. If it's magic, it's magic. Humans are far more probable and far more dangerous.

OOC: This thread seems to have come to a halt. Should I lock and archive it, or is there more to be added?
