Being one dragon from another, she heard, sensed and felt that angry roar as Icer came to the school. Sha'uri looked at Lyndra with that blank stare, pausing the cup in midair ceasing her motion to take a sip of her coffee. The two were in the kitchen.

"That didn't sound good."

More blink blinks. She sipped her coffee and gave it a moment to awaken her morning cursed mind.

"I better go find out what's wrong. If I'm not back in say... twenty.. send the troops with a med team."

She grinned a bit, kidding about it even though she was concerned about what had Icer so ticked off. She took one more sip of coffee before she left it on the table and made her way through the building to find just where Icer had gone. The scent among other senses led her to an otherwise empty room where she knew Icer was. There was a gentle knock on the door and Sha'uri prompted cautiously.

"Icer? Hun, are you okay? What's wrong..."

Big brother, big brother, big brother.... the words went round in her head, jogging some vague memory as her hand came to rest on the doorknob. She partially remembered some conversation from months ago about someone they called *Big Brother*. She wondered if that was who Icer was referring to. What was his name ... she wondered as she turned the doorknob and gently pushed open the door. Tass.. or something like that.

"Are you talking about .. um.. THE Big Brother? Tass? Is that his name?"

She'd never met him that she knew of. Although, if she could ever put name and face together, she'd know she had ... sort of ... on election day outside the voting booths and conversation she kind of poked in on between Tass and Gav... it was so classic. The rememberance of that day would've brought a smile to her lips if she could've connected it, followed by more of a connection for concern. As it was, the connection wasn't there. All she knew was Icer was upset and apparently her brother was in some kind of legal trouble.

"Come tell me what happened. Maybe I can help, even if only to listen. I'm here for you."

She stepped inside and shut the door behind her.

Sha'uri scratched her belly, which was now sticking out just enough that one could tell that Sha'uri was pregnant. She looked maybe about halfway through the pregnancy. Her hand gently patted her stomach, then fingers began to drum atop it. The mental image came in and she accepted it without a hitch, knowing who it was from.

As the image first came, her eyes lit up in recognition of the mirthful one. Mirth seemed to permeate from every part of him, yet there was untold wisdom in the depths of his eyes. The thought and sensation to laugh, remembering the conversation at the election, was short lived in light of the rest of the images Icer was giving her. His dragon form was something to be respected, revered even, for he truly was an ancient. She felt that even through Icer's thoughts. She felt her emotions, too. Turmoiled, yet her voice was quietly controlled and with a softened edge to help soothe.

"I met him once, on the day of election. Tell me agian.... who took him? Why did they take Him? Where did they take him to? Is there anyone trying to get him back? Is there something more I can do?"

She moved closer to Icer and gave her a hug.

Sha'uri nodded.

"I don't understand why lawyers would snatch him like that. It makes no sense. Obviously, they either have powerful magics blocking links like yours, or else they may have taken him out of the realm. I think I"m familiar enough with his spirit that I could try and locate him that way, but it could take a while. There are a lot of places to look unless you can narrow it down some. The whole universe is a large place. Maybe if I commune with Corellon, he might give me a clue. I think, though, that it would help if I knew more from you, or others. Do you want me to help this way?"

"Then I will do so, but I will need to do it from my gardens in the Citadel back on Exodii."

She gave Icer a reasuring squeeze before she pulled back from the hug to look at her. She could see the strength in her friend's eyes.

"There ya go. It'll be fine. We'll find Big Brother one way or another."

A firm nod was given to indicate she would do her best to help. Part of her knew they would need it for anything strong enough, cunning enough to snatch away an ancient like that was going to be a tough element to deal with. She would do her best.

"Do the others have more information? Like names or circumstances for the abduction.. anything. I would like to gather what I can before I go to the Citadel to commune. Would it be best if we all met here? there? or somewhere else?"

Her eyes narrowed.

"Dewey and Howe? Didn't they have a senior partner at one time named Cheatum? I've heard of them.... sort of."

She pondered with a sigh.

"Come on, lets go see Kitty at the office. Are you with me?"

Sha'uri looked surprised.

"Oh heavens, I told her to come find me if I was more then so long." she giggled softly and then spoke much louder. "Come on in, Lyndra. Might as well make it a party in here."

She waited for the clone of her mother to come in.

"Lyndra, We were just discussing Big Brother's dilemma. He is an ancient dragon, actually. His name is Tass. A couple of crooked lawyers, by the names of Dewey and Howe, presumably kidnapped him and we were trying to figure out a way to help get him back. He's pretty strong, but they got him with magic. It's gonna be dangerous, someone might get hurt or even killed. Wanna help?"

::She'd been ... dusting the rafters, that's what it was... dusting them with fae gossamer wings in a very stealthy stealth mode of invisibility. Actuually, she'd been snoozing up there and the voices woke her up int he room where the other three were gathered. Whatever they were planning, it sounded dangerous, and fun. She cleared her throat::

Ahem, um... can I come play too?

::she glided down to the floor::

::Cadence didn't miss a beat::

I will. I wanted to talk to him anyways.... You go ahead and I'll be right behind you. See you at Kitty's office.

::she fluttered her wings and darted out the door. A moment later she peeked back inside::

Uh... where's Kitty's office?

Right! No problem.

::she darted out again and went in search of headmaster. It was odd because she seemed to know exactly where he was at, even passed through walls like they weren't there to get to him by way of straight line. She found him, sitting and reading somethign as usual::

Master Briarius! Icer's Big Brother got kidnapped. Sha'uri says we're formin up a possey and going to kick ass.... er... well, something like that. I'm supposed to drag you to the Gov's office. Come on!

::it would be likeher to just grab him, arms went around him like a hug and she began to pick him up using her wings to gain a little height::

Okay now, where's the office at? I'll fly us there.

The Headmaster looked up and was being elevated. Fortunately, he was able to dismiss his abjurations protecting him.

"I am quite capable of flying myself."

He concentrated a bit. His skin grew cold and pale and his eyes glowed slightly with a red hue. He was able to fly at this point and headed towards the Governor's office
