Homefront

"Ah, that could do," Lady Sanzha agrees, "If we can pin him down and deal with him."

[Corwin]

"Why don't we look into that, then?" Seira proposes. "It's the sort of confrontation that will have repercussions across more than just the Inner Planes, given his position and prominence. We'll see if we can't use our contacts on Fire for that, but if all else fails, let's launch a direct attack on his assets. If we vanish a few miles of private property, he'll have to get serious."

From Fire Seira jumps to Water as she asks, "Meanwhile, how are things going with that Salmon guy?"

[Anastasia]

"That will work, we'll need to be prepared," Lady Sanzha says, then meets Seira's eyes before she can ask about other matters. "I ask you as a friend - do you feel I'm prepared?"

[Corwin]

"I told you that you are," Seira insists. "If I had any sort of doubt, I would've taken you to Io instead and let Kascha a bit more time to come to terms. Instead, I chose to believe in you and here we are."

[Anastasia]

"Then," Lady Sanzha smiles and you feel it. A connection to her, strong and vital, growing more yet.

Node update. In this case you have a choice to make. It's +1 Wisdom to anyone in the node but Lady Sanzha. Choose who you wish. You may choose yourself, Donald, Elle, Kascha, Amaryl or Ranbar.

[Corwin]

Let's go with Ranbar there.

[Anastasia]

Done. Check node as normal for new goals.

"Ah," Lady Sanzha says, "We meet his approval."

[Corwin]

Glee~

"Zaphkiel likes the idea, yes," Seira agrees. With the main thing handled, she waits for Sanzha to fill her in on the other projects she has on a small flame.

[Anastasia]

"Now then, where were we?" Lady Sanzha clears her throat.

What else do you want to cover here?

[Corwin]

"Let's do a progress report and see where more hands on work could help," Seira tells her. "Starting with Salmon, proceeding to Io's research on One and then the prismatic dragon project with our three volunteers."

[Anastasia]

"Mostly sorted, some diplomacy got everyone to calm down," Lady Sanzha says, "The entire thing was people slaking their lust for coin however they could."

[Corwin]

"We recovered a writ from the efreet mine that would let us draw from Damjin Creditory in Corelle," Seira muses. "Let's collect on that while we wrap up everything here. Can you take care of that, or do you need me there?"

[Anastasia]

"Let me," Sanzha decides, "Those matters require a certain touch."

[Corwin]

The silver note materializes in Seira's palm, and she blows on it lightly to send it flying towards Sanzha.

"Please let me know when it's been handled, same with Elle's short-term task," she requests. "On to Io's research, then. While less key due to our preparations with Bin Faheem, we do need to share the tome with others. How far along in decyphering it are you?" More than anything, Seira is interested in Sanzha's progress compared to her own, given the personal experience that is One.

[Anastasia]

The note lands on Sanzha's palm, carefully folded and puta way. "We've gotten enough for now. We'll want to review it down river, but it's not immediate. You can release it."
