[Po makes sure his locket is only recording his voice, though it's very difficult to do so when one can't actually see, before he speaks up. He doesn't want any sign of where he and his companions are or what they're doing to be revealed.]

I have a question, an important one. Possibly a request for help.

I need to know about cures to lycanthropy. [Beside him, Argos whimpers faintly and he lightly pets the wolf to try comforting him.]

Comments

[gracedprince]

[He almost smiles at the familiar voice.]

In a manner of speaking. I was bitten by a werewolf and I'll become one if I don't find a cure.

[tawarwaith]

[This face exactly (even if he cannot see it).]

How is that possible? Werewolves are wolfs that are possessed by an evil spirit. You are neither a wolf nor an evil spirit.

[gracedprince]

It seems that it's a contactable disease here. And I was stupid enough to leave myself within reach of the jaws of one.

[tawarwaith]

I know a little in the ways of healing, though I admit it is not much. If there is a way I can help you, please inform me.

[She did not wish to see one of her few Unseelie friends suffer if she could avoid it.]

[gracedprince]

I'm not sure, there's nothing like this where I'm from so I wouldn't know where to start.

[He'd like to avoid it too.]

[tawarwaith]

[She is pretty sure this is at least one thing athelas cannot cure.]

Perhaps the library at Caer Scrima has some answers or something here at the Station?

[gracedprince]

[Proooobably not.]

Perhaps but I have access to neither. I may be near the Station in a couple of weeks but I worry about what might happen in that time.

[tawarwaith]

Can you not find yourself a faerie ring to reach either one that much sooner?

[Since the topic of lycanthropy is alien to her, she has no idea what comfort she can offer him. After a moment of thinking however, she tentatively puts forth a suggestion.]

I can try looking here at the Station for information.

[gracedprince]

I can't. I travel in a group and we travel by road. There are none nearby now.

[Not without losing valuable days going back. And abandoning his companions and their mission. There were more shardbearers with them, one could conceivably take his place but that would be abandoning the mission himself. And the trust Morla had placed in him.]

I would be eternally grateful.

[tawarwaith]

That does complicate things. Alright, I'll see what I can find and hopefully enlist the help of someone wiser and more learned than myself who might know something.

[She knows her own strengths and weaknesses and truthfully, research such as this was her weakness. Hhile written text was not entirely uncommon in Mirkwood, it was not something she took any great delight in pouring through. She was intelligent, but she lacked the will to be still for long.]

[gracedprince]

It does. [He sighs softly, pinching the bridge of his nose. Again, Argos can be heard whining.] Thank you, I appreciate it.

[He couldn't really do much research anyway. And that ruins a lot of his chances.]
