Alyson walked along side the Swordsman on the way to the airship, "Why are you in such a hurry for combat, Irzen? Is it because of Quake's mishap with magic that sent everyone all over the realm and back in time?"

"I'm not in a hurry to have combat, I'm in a hurry to have fun!" The Swordsman corrected The Elementalist, "And since you've decided to join The Humorless Boor Party along with Party Secretary Madeous and Party Chairman Lazheros, maybe I should start hanging out with Quake, Serna and Caliaphy. At the very least those three know how to have fun."

The elementalist crossed her arms, "Wow! I didn't know you were that invested in having fun, Irzen. Is that the real reason why you came to the realm, to have fun and kick butt. Mainly Venger's butt. I did too but where I ended up was in the middle of the enemy trying to bring the Nameless One back to the Realm, and oh yeah, I did a near impossible feat by reaching out to the one big bad guy, who everyone here hates, despises for some reason or another and save Stormhaven because I knew I was out-my-league, and out powered in every way."

Madeous and Lazheros glanced at each other but said nothing while Alyson ranted to the swordsman.

"And since all of that took place prior to my meeting you, what does any of that have to do with the price of tea in China?" Irzen added before he went off to find Quake, Serna and Caliaphy, "And on that note, I shall leave you three to your Humorless Boor Party Conference while I hang out with the cool kids!"

The elementalist continued to stew with fustration to herself.

"Hey, Quake! Wait up!" Irzen raced after the Draconic Elemental.

Quake turned slightly but kept walking up the ramp to the airship. "Huh? I thought you and the lady were having an in-depth conversation. Did you get your answer or was it that bad, you decided to leave them and hang out with us?"

"We were having an in-depth conversation and we both agreed to disagree as usual," Irzen quipped with a wink of the eye.

"And yes, I did get the answer to my question. I didn't like the answer I got so I decided to upgrade my travel accommodations from the Humorless Boor Party riding in Coach to the Cool Kids riding in First Class. Mind if I join you three?"

Quake shrugged, "Meh, I wouldn't worry about it, Irzen, for once she's happy. Give her that. You being all broody and anksty isn't helping either. But hey, we'll get to go sailing up in the sky. I'll be below deck so I won't hurl up my breakfast on you."

"Whose worried?" Irzen quipped, "I'm just happy to hang out with people that actually have a sense of humor! And I'm not being broody or anksty--that's the party line of The Humorless Boor Party--I'm all about having fun with a group of people who are not afraid to crack a smile or laugh out loud! And that's very thoughtful of you, Quake, thanks!"

Caliaphy wrinkled her nose and braided Serna's hair again. This time into a swing.

Irzen said nothing as he smiled at Caliaphy's work while following the trio onto the airship.
