As the response from Sya rang in her ears, all else seemed to fade away to the young Priestess. [i]Tia[/i] was here? Somehow, despite it coming as a great shock to her; Ranni also felt a complete lack of surprise at the development. Somehow... she'd simply [i]known[/i] already that Tia was here. Moreso, that she was in the exact direction that had been indicated for the hotsprings. It was almost as if Ranni had... felt her being in that direction? Such a thing shouldn't have been possible, yet for the second time that day it was happening. First when she'd arrived in town and somehow known that her sister was at the tavern, and now with Tia. A heavy frown grew on her features as the girl tried to wrestle with what any of this meant. So lost was she in her own thoughts, that Ranni seemed to retreat away from the world itself, evening being unaware that they had a new visitor to their group nor that she was directly addressing both Ranni and Dyna. 

Was it something to do with becoming a blightborn? She had heard tell that some of them developed... strange abilities. Yet, as far as the Priestess knew those were either just stories or had to do with their physical abilities. She'd heard nothing of the sort that she was experiencing now. Was Aelios reaching out to her, guiding her towards those she knew in her time of need? Maybe. Yet this feeling was... almost cold. Filling her with a sense of numbness she often associated with chillier climates, not like the warmth that would've spread from Aelios' touch. It was... strange. Yet another of the innumerable changes that'd happened to her since that dreadful night, and one of many more Ranni feared she would soon be discovering. 

Her gaze flicked towards Dyna, as her sister seemed to be engaging with the newcomer to their group. Finally, Ranni seemed to come out of the shell she'd retreated into. Her gaze flicking about those around as if she were just noticing that they were still standing there. Yet, even as she did, her mind still clung to the fact that it could [i]feel[/i] that Tia was in the direction of the temple. In this very town. Ranni chewed her lower lip, looking around the group for a long few moments as she settled for simply listening into the conversation; trying to ignore that inexplicable draw in the back of her mind. She tried to focus back in on the conversation, looking for the first time over the Lunarian woman who'd spoken to them. Ranni had, of course, missed her words and identity entirely. She felt a sort of shock as she looked over the woman, her first thought being impressed by both how beautiful she was and her regal composure... moments before the Priestess rapidly tried to shove those thoughts down in her mind. Not quick enough to avoid unknowingly blasting such feelings out to those around her in her continued telepathic barrage, but enough that she could force herself to think normally. 

Well, somewhat normally. Part of her still seemed distracted even as Dyna moved to introduce both of them to the woman opposite. Ranni gave a polite bow and smile towards Amaya, even as her mind kept dragging her towards the temple. To go investigate, and confirm herself that Tia was truly in the town, whether that strange certainty she had carried some truth to it. Ranni was only able to resist it a few seconds longer before looking up towards the beautiful woman who'd joined them and speaking softly. [color=5946b2]"M-my apologies, b-but I think there is something I must attend to..."[/color] She said, cringing at her own excuse before rapidly turning and setting off at a near-run towards the feeling she was certain had to be Tia. 

It wasn't terribly long before Ranni found herself approaching a familiar sight; a Temple of Aelios. Nearby, she saw the telltale steam rising from a hotsprings. Ranni paused for a few moments, feeling that similar tug pulling her towards the hotsprings instead of the temple. [color=5946b2][i]Why would Tia be there?[/i][/color] She thought gently, before turning and quickly making her way into the hotsprings themselves... 

Only to find herself staring at the aftermath of a chaotic scene no doubt. The nobleman from earlier; the who'd called her a goat, was in the bath alongside the Innkeeper and another woman she didn't recognize. There was some man, one she didn't recognize either... and Tia herself was there. Trying to help the nobleman out of the water. Ranni's heart pounded in her chest as a resoundingly strong feeling of shock blasted out from her mind, knowing now that [i]somehow[/i] she had been able to sense exactly where her former mentor had been. Her tail flicked frantically as she stared in wide-eyed shock, softly speaking with a voice that seemed to carry every ounce of worry she'd felt for her mentor in the time since they'd last seen each other. [color=5946b2]"T-tia? Y-you're here too?"[/color] She asked softly, barely able to grasp at the proper words for the moment...

Dyna wore an expression of shock at the mention of Ranni's for mentor, both from Ranni and Sya confirming her presence, seemingly out of nowhere. Her brows furrowed lightly as she cast a look over her sister, wondering for a long moment just what had inspired the girl to ask about Tia out of the blue. Dyna had certainly heard nothing to indicate the woman might be here before Ranni spoke up, and was even more certain that Ranni wouldn't have access to any more information to indicate that than Dyna did. Her mind tossed around the question of how this was possible for a long few moments before shaking her head. A problem for another time. Instead, Dyna's gaze was drawn to the newest visitor to their group. She didn't recognize the woman, apart from her clearly being Lunarian, but most certainly recognized the regality of a noble. A thought that put her slightly on edge, after the previous noble's rather... indignant attitude.

Yet, Dyna found herself being pleasantly surprised when the woman spoke. More casual, nothing like the peacock's flaunting of his feathers earlier, and [i]polite[/i]. A welcome change, for certain. As she continued to speak, Dyna offered a hint of a smile and nodded in response to the comment about them having not met before. Yet, she hadn't a chance to respond before the woman from before... Elara, was it? Spoke up and addressed the woman as 'Your Highness'. A wave of shock slammed into Dyna as she realized that this wasn't just [i]a noble[/i] but rather the Lunarian Princess. Immediately, the girl gave a respectful little bow towards the Princess; not particularly wanting to cause an incident by not showing the proper respect to members of royalty. 

In the next moment, Dyna was hit by a sudden wave of emotion that didn't quite feel like her own... but was enough to influence her line of thought. For the briefest of moments, she found herself looking over the Princess and finding agreement with the thought that she [i]was[/i] rather attractive. Yet almost as quickly as the wave of emotion had hit her, it also disappeared deep within her mind. Leaving Dyna momentarily confused, and with a slight blush to her cheeks, before she finally replied. [color=daa520]"Ah, I don't believe we have, Your Highness. Dyna Soleil, Champion of Aelios. This is my sister, Ranni Soleil, Priestess of Aelios."[/color] She explained with another polite bow. [color=daa520]"I arrived just before the blizzard hit and spent it in the Beholder there, Priestess Ranni arrived today..."[/color] She explained, trailing off her explanation as she lost how to explain things. Albeit, an attentive eye could likely figure out that a girl arriving in town, a blightborn, and just after the blizzard ended had likely been recently turned. 

[color=daa520]" 'Tis our pleasure to make your acquaintance, certainly with Dawnhaven comi-"[/color] Dyna started to say, before being cut off by Ranni offering a weak excuse and running off in the direction of the Temple. As composed as she had been mere moments before, Dyna's expression changed to one of pure shock at her sister's actions as she watched her retreat. She turned back towards the Princess with an awkward and apologetic expression on her features. [color=daa520]"A-ah... my apologies Princess. My sister's... been through alot lately. She... likely felt overwhelmed and panicked."[/color] Dyna offered as an excuse. Offering a sheepish smile towards the woman. [color=daa520]"I don't mean to be rude, your highness, but I should go after her. T-that is if its quite alright with you?"[/color] She asked, not even attempting to force a neutral expression and mask the worry she felt over her sister's sudden strange behavior.
