[thebreakingwave]

Good afternoon, I've been informed that one of our number has recently taken a woman named Hermione hostage. If this is the case, I'd appreciate proof of life and the opportunity to talk with her and make sure that she's being well-cared for. I'll offer whatever surety you need.

[He doesn't sound particularly pleased, but he's making an effort to remain professional.]

One of yours.

Re: private. voice. (...a bit later.)

[thebreakingwave]

Yes, she's a dear friend from back home. My other friends Seelie-side aren't too keen on sharing information, so I thought I'd go to the source.

[vrykolakas]

Mind you don't raise her ransom value.

I'm at Caer Scima. Tell me if you need hands here.

[thebreakingwave]

I've thought about what someone would want. Can you imagine they'd ask for any less than a shard?

[vrykolakas]

Less or more. If they want a shard, they could take hers.

[thebreakingwave]

I'd really rather avoid that particular route.

[vrykolakas]

And if they ask... [There's a question there. Would you?]

[dragmire]

She is being well taken care of. If it is proof of life you desire, you shall have it at the next royal audience.

private voice;

[thebreakingwave]

That's some time in the future. I would like to see or speak to her before that day.

Failing that, may I put together something for her? A care package. You can inspect it, check it out, do whatever you need to ensure that it's safe.

private voice;

[dragmire]

You are close to the girl, are you?

[He hasn't refused the request yet. But it's telling that this boy is investing this much interest. Ganondorf doesn't find it particularly clever to be so obvious.]

private voice;

[thebreakingwave]

She's an ally from home.

[ It's not overly clever, no, but of the options he had available, this seemed like the best of a bad lot. ]

private voice;

[dragmire]

But an enemy here.

[thebreakingwave]

I still owe it to her to check up on her.

Unseelie, we follow our hearts and wants, and I want this.

[gordianknots]

Any word on who it is yet?

[thebreakingwave]

Ganondorf has her. I'm trying to convince him to let me see her.

[gordianknots]

Fucking Ganondorf.

[That...was not supposed to come out of Waver's mouth.]

[thebreakingwave]

He's going to present her to the Queen at the next audience and there's at least one Seelie rushing to the castle, half-cocked, to get her back. That'll be another shard right there.

[ Ron, you twit. ]

[gordianknots]

And let me guess, you can't talk that person out of rushing towards Caer Scima, can you?

forevs.

[thebreakingwave]

Of course, that would be too easy.

[voice]

[chaoticwhimsy]

Ooh. A mysterious kidnapping in a war-torn world. How exciting!

[The child can't hide the laughter in her voice.]

[thebreakingwave]

[ Alas, there will be no reply. ]

voice.

[scinlae]

A friend of yours?

voice.

[thebreakingwave]

Yes, a woman I know from home. She's a kind person and a brilliant witch.

voice.

[scinlae]

And you fear what will become of her now that she has fallen into Unseelie hands. [ death is likely, she muses, for that is what she would likely do. ]

voice.

[thebreakingwave]

That's about where it stands.
