[Voice/Open] 07 Shadows

["Son of a bitch," is pretty much what Nico's thinking at this point. For the moment, he's wedged himself in a safe, shadowed place so that he can get an announcement out. His voice is low, trying not to let any of the natives find out where he is.]

To any Shardbearers on either Court planning on ever visiting Leathann: don't. The Seven-Star Oracle, a very powerful and prominent figure here, was killed and they say it was a Shardbearer who did it. Things are going to Tartarus in a wrapped hand-basket.

[Private: Seelie Marshal Lancelot]

Sir Lancelot, do you have anyone who can meet me at the Northwood Faerie Ring? I'm going to need a few hours of rest before I can get to the White Citadel today, and I'd rather have that rest in safety.

[ "dead oracle" makes her gut twist, but more importantly- ]

Does this mean you are where I think you are right now?

[Nico is totally squirming when Rachel asks that.]

...Um...yeah. I'm working on getting out right now. Hard to catch me if I shadow travel to the nearest faerie ring.

voice;

[truesight]

Impossibly hard, I hope. Should we even be talking?

[ not panicking! just. you know. worrying a bit. ]

Just- tell me you have a game plan. Please.

[Nico pauses for a moment to check his surroundings.]

Should be fine for a few minutes.

[He hopes. Nico makes the conversation private so that only Seelies know where he's going.]

Yeah. I'm in shadow right now, so once I've shadow traveled to the faerie ring in the Shipyard, I'll be at the Northwood's ring. I can't leave until I can get someone at that ring to look out for me while I rest for a few hours. After that, I should be at the White Citadel.

Okay. [ she has to pull out her map to 100% understand his path ( she hasn't travelled very much!! yet. ), but then she's nodding, even if he can't see it. ] I'm going to ask you a hundred questions when you get back, I'm sorry in advance. [ she grins ] But this really just makes me wish I didn't hesitate to just- go. [ travel. leave the Seelie castle? yeah. she hasn't exactly done that yet, not since they went out to look for the moon. and now she feels like a big scaredy cat for it. ] I would have liked to meet her.

[Despite everything, Nico can't help a small smile.]

I'm looking forward to it. Maybe the two of us should try for a quest next time.

[He's...surprised by how easily that offer comes out. Dang, all that traveling with Reyna and Coach Hedge really has changed him for the better.]

How are you doing over there? I hope you haven't gotten in as much trouble as I have.

voice | private;

[truesight]

Yeah? [ that makes her perk up a bit, for sure. she never thought Nico would be the one to make the offer, even if she's thought about asking him before. it's kind of awesome. ]

No trouble at all, actually. Just a lot of archery training. It's starting to get a little boring over here.
