Jeremy, through email, wrote: In the aftermath of the Fight, Kitz skitters about the room visiting, making prayers, and placing flowers upon the fallen warriors of Thor. Seeming solemn and very serious about his work as he does. He only moves quickly to avoid the tide of treasure reaching hands as the others take in their spoils of conquest. Anyone who makes a move for a weapon from any of the corpse Kitz gives and odd look before turning back to the respective corpse. He then delivers a rather harsh bite to one of his own paws for each looted body leaving a small piece of his own fore-claws in the palm of each fallen warrior. He speaks to each then saying "Forgive them, they do not know...its not much but it is the only weapon i have to give."

When Lycia Addresses him he seems far off in his mind for a moment before snapping out of it, blinking a few times, and looking Lycia's way. He trots over to her side and sits looking up at her his ear perked before he responds.

"Well..." He stops to gaze at the giant eye in a bit of wonderment before looking back to Lycia and continuing.

"Odin is the all-father and though he is powerful and mighty, some say that he seeks knowledge and wisdom more than anything else. Some even say that he lost that eye in pursuit of wisdom. Though the stories of Odin are often different from teller to teller, if i had a guess as to how one would gain favor with him enough to be granted with some of that wisdom. Well i would say we all give it some knowledge in return...It would have to be something that even an almighty god might not have taken the time to look for...ya know something poetic, worthy, and special."

With the last words of the sentence he speaks he trails off slowly and his eyes grow heavy. He seems to blink away a few quickly forming tears. After a few seconds he shakes his head and regains his composure.

Kitz waits for a moment for the comments he made to sink in as he glances back to make sure that no one else has gotten in to 'need to be rescued' trouble in the 5 or so minuets that he had been looking away. After he is satisfied that death is not watching his trouble prone friends he looks back to the eye and gulps slightly looking a bit daunted as he speaks again.

"As for interacting with the oracle...uhm...my only advice is not do it alone...The great Willow has spoken to many saying that at her roots entire worlds might live...I would imagine that 'using' a piece of Odin's flesh to ask for wisdom would be like touching your mind directly to a gods. It might take the collective minds of everyone here to make out the visions or ehm...horrors we might see through it. Not to mention that i bet everyone will take something different away from this as none of us are the same and the gods know that."

(After this Kitz Lays out a simple plan that he suggests to Lycia. The plan he lays out is to gather around the eye when the others are done with the room and to make sure that everyone is in contact with one another as they approach. Then we all look into the eye and think of the questions we need answered and try to see what we can see inside. Kitz points out that its said that Odin took part in the creation of mankind and that he doubts Odin is very happy about seeing it wiped out by invaders.)

He tells Lyica that he also doesn't want to be the potential bearer of bad news but Odin might demand that someone lose an eye here to gain the wisdom they seek. Such would be a fitting and poetic sacrifice and would be more telling to the gods that we could be trusted with the wisdom they would grant us. Kitz then looks to each of the party and imagines them without an eye...He imagines the fire flinging cleric with one eye accidentally roasting the rougish sailor in a pitched fight. He imagines the rougish sailor with one eye stabbing wildly at his opponent only to hit crazy wolf right in the nose instead. He imagines Lycia throwing eldritch fire and wiping out our entire front line from behind with hellish fire. Then he imagines a blind crazy wolf or phylo wading into combat to cleave whoever happened to be right outside their sight whether friend or foe. Lastly he imagines a very unhappy but otherwise mostly unhindered fox with an eye patch. He looks up to Lycia and finally speaks again looking a bit faint.
