Thaddeus asks Izana something in Eonian and she replies.

"She says they are discussing that now," Thaddeus translates. "They will finish their deliberations by tomorrow morning."

Baeros narrows his eyes, "Ask her how many of them are in the mansion, and also if she knows all the passages in the mansion well."

This time, Ouragana does the translation for Bearos.

Ourgana translates Izana's words, explaining that there are five Oni remaining, although there used to be more. Izana also knows the first floor well, but nobody--not even the Oni--know what's on the second floor. Anyone who has ever gone up there has been killed. The rumors say the second floor is full of magical traps, monsters and golems that continue to protect the Wyvern's research even to this day.

"That is probably where we need to go then," Jocelyn says. "Providing that they agree to let us search for what we are looking for."

"We certainly need to be prepared for that" Ouragna agrees with Bearos.

She turns back to Izana. "Do the Oni expect you back soon, or would you like to spend some time with us?" she asks the young woman.

In Eonian, Izana explains to Ouragana that as she has already served breakfast to the Oni and to the party, she is not expected back for at least a little while, if they want her to stay.

"She can stay if she wants. Does she have any questions about us?" Jocelyn asks.

Thaddeus speaks to Izana and then translates her words. "I don't think she has any real point of reference to ask us anything. She knows nothing about humans, the islands, or any kind of life outside the one she's lived here."

Brock, meanwhile, walks over to Drav. "You lived on this island for 30 years, right? You know anything about these 'Oni' things?" he asks.

"I just thought you might prefer to stay with us and learn about other humans" Ouragana says to Izana with a smile, in Eonian. "Orf course, we're not all human" she adds. "The two slender males over there, Gallath and Drav, are elves. See their pointed ears?....." she goes on, trying to make conversation, to make Izana comfortable with them, and to teach her a little about the outside world.

"Doesn't she want to get off this island just like everyone else here?" Jocelyn asks.

Ouragana translates Jocelyn's question at the end of her talk with Izana: "Wouldn't you like to leave the Island see all this for yourself?"

Ouragana spends the next couple of hours speaking with Izana, telling her all about the islands and the various races and what life there is like. She has little to say but hangs on the mage's every word. The troll meat goes cold as nobody touches it. This doesn't make it any more appetizing.

Upon hearing Ouragana's question, Izana says that when the Oni leave the island, she will accompany them, of course. Getting to her feet, she then says she needs to return to her duties and thanks Ouragana for telling her so much. With a polite bow, she then departs.

As Ouragana speaks with the servant Baeros catches up some of the species names and says "By the way... the meat lump here," Baeros gestures to a resting Val, "is a woman too!" Baeros tells the young woman lifting his eye brows with wonder and smiles for the second time since they saw the ogres.
