And you've been here even longer than I have so who knows how long that really is. Alice said it was sometime around Samhain two years ago after a bunch of other stuff happened in this world, but it's too loose of a timeframe to really know.

[And now he sort of wishes he'd known that a while ago. He could have asked Lancelot himself about stuff regarding the dwarves before he disappeared.]

They started kicking everybody out in August and locked their gates. Why do you think I took Loki? [Less of an invitation and more of "Loki helped us break into places we weren't allowed."] Thing is we don't know if they're going to stay locked up, or if it'll be even worse and they just pretend that they did nothing and they're going to try and blindside us. They don't really get the whole shardbearer thing and just kinda offer to take them from us...but now it's less of an offer and more of a force. Whole thing sorta puts us back at square one and it's why I was hoping to find somebody on our side that might have hints of how to disable them.
