voice; locked to unseelie

[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.

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

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?]

[thebreakingwave]

If they ask, I know what I'd do.

[...which is a bit vague, but at least it's true? He would try just about anything else that comes to mind, but if he needed to give up his shard, then that's what'll have to happen.]

[vrykolakas]

[A long, cool silence—but he isn't going to tell Harry what to do. He's desperate both to get involved and to stay the hell away.]

I'll do what I can to help you make sure the issue doesn't arise.

[thebreakingwave]

Thank you. I've heard from Ganondorf, who took her, and it looks as if he's planning to offer her to the Queen at the next audience.

[vrykolakas]

Piss and fuck, the bootlicking bastard.

[He hisses at the back of his throat, sounding furiously frustrated.]

Plans for springing her?

[thebreakingwave]

Working on it. There's at least one Seelie, maybe more, working on some sort of jailbreak.

[vrykolakas]

Wonderful. I'm sure they'll be really interested in calmly talking things out. They heading for Mair or Scima? Where's he keeping her?

[thebreakingwave]

You might've noticed Ron threatening to kill people in a previous locket-message.

And, I don't know. I don't think he does either, but he's got a way to track her.
