[ There must have been another feast. Word of it has traveled to her ears as well as talk for a hunt. Both are events that draw some concern, but don't affect her goals, therefore they are better ignored. What she could do is make an attempt to reach out to shardholders, old and new, and possibly make a bit of coin in doing so. That's why when she greets everyone, it's with a pleasantly polite smile and the decor of the Castle Mair behind her. ]

What a busy month. Are they all like that? [ She waves a hand as she speaks as if to brush off the topic. ] It may have gone unnoticed, but as the Master of Archer it's only proper to inform you that he took his leave earlier last month of this world. If he had any debts, you may approach me with proof of this and I will conclude his business.

Speaking of paying off debts, my workshop is ready to take costumers. My specialty is conversion magic as well as command over all five of the elements. [ Her expression is rehearsed and composed, much like a teacher addressing a class full of idiots. ] In short, I can do a number of things many others don't advertise they can do. It seems pointless to keep my status as a magus here a secret when the world is surrounded by magic. Though it would be nice to learn something useful like shooting a bow...

[ She mutters that last part. ]

Anyway, speak with me about what you want and I'll arrange to help you if I can. We can sort out payment, favors, and IOU's later, especially if you're new to this world. I'm flexible.

It was weird here being apart from you for six months with no contact, to say the least. [Meaning, if you pulled an Archer....]

Take your time and do what you need to do. I guess I'm just trying to say that you'll always have a home here. And nothing would ever change that.

[gandere]

[ Oh! She's not entirely sure how to approach this. No one's really ever spoken about enjoying her company or wishing for her to remain with them. No one in her family or circle of "friends" back home would notice if Rin disappeared. Now that she had someone in her life that did concern themselves with her well-being, it was... nice?

Is that what this feeling is?? ]

All right, I will return when I can. It might be wise for me to stick to the roads this time with a hunt going on. There's bound to be a number of inexperienced people outdoors that will shoot at the slightest rustle of leaves.

[gordianknots]

[Yes, Rin, yes it is. Waver chuckles a little.]

Definitely a good idea. Flying may also help, as I don't think anyone will think the stag that can touch the sky.

[gandere]

It isn't a bad thought, but it's starting to get a bit too cold for that. [ She doesn't want to end up a flying icicle. ]

Is the party still..?

[gordianknots]

Grab some extra thick wool coats and wraps in Mair?

[The only thought he's got.]

And yes, it is, barring disaster.

[gandere]

You will be handling the invitations-? [ She's thought of it.

Surely she can acquire things like that before heading out. ]

[gordianknots]

Yes. I'll have to include a note that transportation will be up to the individual to arrange, but that's a small matter.

[gandere]

Please be sure to include any newcomers.

[ Pause. ] Were you able to-?

[gordianknots]

Naturally.

[Waver's voice becomes weary, instantly.]

The rescue happened, yes, Redgate's returned to the hands it was intended to be in. Something decent was accomplished, for once.

[gandere]

Good.

Now that it's over, what will you be doing next?

[gordianknots]

--Well, put out one fire, and another one sprung up with greater intensity.

[gandere]

Shouldn't you be able to handle a simple fire? [ Pinching her brow with a free hand. ]

[gordianknots]

Well, the fire's started doing some kidnapping and holding things for ransom, for starters. As well as extremely high level necromancy.

[gandere]

Isn't it frustrating what fire is capable of these days?

There's no leads to fend off against that, are there-? I suppose it wouldn't be the first time someone's brought back the dead, but what exactly is he trying to raise?

[gordianknots]

Amazingly so.

There was an emergency meeting at the Station last night to discuss just that. In addition to trying to get what he needs to finish his plans to raise a third court, he's trying to do is create a Reverant. S'a soul re-attached to it's mortal body, and at the command of the spellcaster. Surprise surprise, that's why he went to Redgate: he stole the bones of Alyosha's children. What the goal of it beyond spiting her is, we don't know.

[gandere]

Is it possible he intends to raise them from the dead as well? In order to have a successful ritual, a catalyst is involved. You should know that much having called forth Rider.

No matter. This isn't a topic we should have over the locket.

Will it wait a week?

[gordianknots]

It'll be done by that point, and honestly, I think it'll be easier to discuss when it's passed.

[Waver's finally admitting that he has run himself into exhaustion.]

[gandere]

Then I will make my way back to The Barrel.

Have a hot cup of tea waiting for my return? [ Please? She's going to need it with how cold it is. ]

[gordianknots]

Of course. Travel safe.
