Ahead lies...?

[Anastasia]

Some luck is with you - you manage to wring out 4 points from the portal book. Progress!

Total?

[Nephrite]

347.

Moore nods, just about halfway there. That's incredible!

He's mostly out of options as it pertains to libraries, though, unless he wants to go to the Terminal Archives... which he doesn't want to do.

With that in mind, though...

He's going to use his Sending orb to Medi with the following message: 'I am aware you have some form of non-interference you have to adhere to, but I know you're alive and have a lot I need to talk to you about. I've been authorized to tell you, quote, "I'll tell everyone the time with him, that Arcadian envoy and what really happened to that wand of magic missiles!"

[Anastasia]

Perhaps predictably, you get no reply at all.

[Nephrite]

He can't reply through normal means... but he can show up... right?

Moore goes to find Xandra!

[Anastasia]

You find Xandra in the yard, sparring with Kaja. Two practice scimitars easily hold Xandra's greatsword at bay, each clash a setback for the trumpet archon. Kaja's grinning as he fights. A slash, a sweep - and Xandra goes down in a tangle of limbs, landing hard and staying down.

"...I yield," she manages after. "I yield."

[Nephrite]

Moore claps at the resolution. "Well done, both of you." He says as he approaches.

[Anastasia]

Kaja turns with a big smile, a wooded sword raised in salute.

That's when Xandra's legs sweeps out, a startled cry as Kaja tumbles to the ground in a heap.

Xandra rises, "I am an archon, but neither am I an honor sworn knight," she says, "As you said yourself - the enemy often cares little of honor."

Kaja looks up with a grin, "Well said." he says, as Xandra turns and gives him a hand getting up.

[Nephrite]

Moore laughs at that display and claps again. "I hope I'm not interfering."

[Anastasia]

"No, learning how the enemy fights is important to defeat them," Xandra agrees, "Knowledge is the key that opens the door to victory."

"Rather, it's how you know to dodge or attack," Kaja retorts, "Still in those books, Moore?"

[Nephrite]

Moore shakes his head. "I just finished, actually. We're almost halfway there. My reason for showing up here was to ask you something, Xandra. Do you remember the guest we had some weeks ago who just... showed up out of the blue? He took us both by surprise." Moore explains.

[Anastasia]

OOC check for clarity: Which one do you have in mind?

[Nephrite]

[Anastasia]

"Yes, I do," Xandra agrees, "What about him?"

[Nephrite]

"Were we both awake?" Moore asks. "I know that sounds odd, but if anyone would know it'd be you."

[Anastasia]

"If we were asleep," Xandra says with a smile, "What a strange dream to share."
