A rumble, a knock on Selena's door. Outside is Flora, wearing her usual work-outfit and resting against a golem. Not Tigris, her usual one, but a simpler one of similar build. Her shoulder is lightly scraped and has a little blood clinging to it, although she doesn't seem too fazed by it right now.
Oddly, the first response to the knock comes from 'upstairs', Selena's voice calling "I'll be down in a minute!" from a window.
Sure enough, takes her a little bit of time before the door opens revealing a slightly dishevelled wolfess, though her outfit is the same as it always was. "...Flora? Come in. The cut on your shoulder... Would you like something for that? There are some bandages here - or just rubbing alcohol for the wound." She offers, rubbing her eyes and leading on to what passes for the living room - a table, some chairs and a cluttered workbench with an odd looking figurine on it - more like a collection of odd geometries and shapes that don't seem to be quite finished, really. "So, what brings you here..? Spirits, work..? Something else entirely?"
A mumble before Flora glances at the shoulder. "Flora... Didn't even notice that... Bullet must've scraped Flora, yes," she mumbles with a slight frown. "Might be best to bandage it, but does't look too serious, no. Flora needs somewhere to sit, and Flora wants to talk about spirits," she mumbles, acting as if being shot at was... Well, of lesser importance.
It takes a few seconds for the lioness's next line to properly process itself - "Excuse me, you said you were shot?" She questions, "With a gun? How did you manage that!?" ultimately though, she settles into a chair and gestures to one not in use - simple furnishings, but better than the inn's chairs at least. "I suppose it isn't such a bad thing that you're here either way. I'd like to ask a favor when we've had the talk about spirits, if you don't mind. Just make sure you take care of the bullet wound soon, it'd be more than a small problem if it got infected."
A mumble, a flick of Flora's tails. "Cart-chase. Flora rode her golem, yes. Turned out to be... Family-problems. Flora will take care of it, it's just a scrape, yes," she mumbles, leaning back in the chair and mumbling. "Now... Flora was wondering about spirits... Flora's read up on them, but... Are there more?" the feline asks, a brow raised lightly. "Flora is wondering about those others... The currently known ones... Flora doesn't find them too interesting... The others... Might be."
Selena nods slowly. "Well, if that's what happened, I'm glad it didn't end worse." She replies, stretching for a few moments as Flora poses her question. "Other spirits? Well, I've been trying to get answers from Kendrac since he showed up about them, but for a lot of them he's annoyingly evasive. There's not a lot he's told me other than that there are other spirits, and he's hinted at another court, but I haven't been given any details. He tends to like telling other people what they're looking for, but apparently my questioning isn't high on his list. I could call him, though - he'd probably give a better answer if more people are asking for one again."
Flora nods and flicks her tails. Another court? This piqued her interest! SHe nods a moment, before looking back at Selena. "And... People can call them, yes? Flora... Flora maybe wants to ask... Kendrac about this, if Friend Selena could arrange things," she mumbles, before slumping lightly. "Flora now has to deal with a company that needs something big soon, finances that are in ruin, and now a family that is... Less than supportive, yes. Flora could use all the help she can get and was hoping there was a spirit she could agree with," she mumbles, rolling her shoulders lightly and inadvertently causing her to cringe lightly.
Selena shakes her head. "I don't know of any callers. In fact, Kendrac hasn't even told me the name of the court - Just made it known there were 'More courts than just those you have been made aware of'. She recites with a slightly vexed expression. "I can definitely call him, though. It's no difficult task. I assume people would be able to call them if there was a caller, but I wouldn't call trying to commune or make first contact calling if that's what you were wondering."
A nod, a flick of her tail. "Flora can ask questions and see if he has answers to give, yes. Flora... Believes Kendrac is the one against corruption?" she offers hesitantly, trying to recall the papers on spirits. "Flora is dealing with a 'corrupt' house of sorts, isn't Flora? Flora could ask if Kendrac would be willing to indrectly help by telling Flora more about other spirits that would be able to help proper."
Selena nods, taking a moment to consider. "I don't know what to say to that. He could probably offer something or another about the situation, but I'm not sure what help he'd be to your situation." She notes, rubbing her cheek in thought. "It'd be possible to ask. Adrestia might have some things to say about dealing with corrupt houses, but she's also the spirit of revenge - so it might be worth taking whatever she'd say with a grain of salt." The wolfess notes. "Just forget Shaila for your issue - I hate to say it but her answer for Mossy stone was to 'Love' it back to health. I don't think she'd be of much help when dealing with your family."
Flora chuckles lightly. "Flora wasn't going to ask direct help, no... Flora... Believes he deals with a different kind of corruption. But. He could help against this by helping Flora make LongTech successful. If LongTech succeeds, Flora will have the funds to restore the house proper and fend off attacks. Maybe even take the fight to the bad part of the family," she explains. "Flora... Hopes there is a spirit that could help her with that," she mumbles, tail swaying behind her. A spirit to help discover, think up things, and so on... Mister... Puzzler. He does that, but not the way Flora means," she mumbles, shaking her hed.
Selena raises an eyebrow. "So a spirit of creativity?" She suggests. "And I agree, he doesn't seem to dabble in that kind of corruption but he was introduced to us as having a mind for tactics. I'm sure he'd be able to understand the benefit of your company if it was brought up and running." she replies, tilting her head. "The Puzzler... Is probably closer to... Well, puzzles of sorts than creativity, from what little I've heard. But really, I'd have to have a proper talk about him with a supplicant to learn more."
"So, if we're going to call Kendrac, we'll probably be asking him about a spirit to help you with your house. I just want to make sure that you aren't treating this as a tool or short term contract, though. I know you're a sensible being, but I've already seen beings misrepresent the spirit they're bound to in some capacity. These are serious supplications. Rescinding them when you decide you've had enough isn't a realistic option." she explains. "I'm sure a spirit could explain that better than I could, but Kendrac is occupied at the moment. Something about Akros and a fish." She replies with a shrug. "Your guess is as good as mine."
