Sent.

[Anastasia]

Post back here when you're ready, Iddy.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa leans back in her chair, drumming her fingers against the book, considering.

Then sighs and thinks to herself, 'Work with the tools you have, not the ones you wish.'

She settles in and sends a message to Dolmaya, 'Could you come to my study when you have time?'

[Anastasia]

Like with telepathy since you used the ' ' tags?

[Iron Dragoon]

Yeah, since I set up planar telepathic bond as a normal daily.

[Anastasia]

Oh right.

'Hm? I'll be there in a shake.'

It's not long for Dolmaya to come in, Bastian with her. The latter goes to relax in a chair by the window - dragging it there, really - while Dolmaya sits primly. "Ah yes, spell business?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"More serious. Let's keep this as close to the chest as we can. Dolmaya, what have you come across about the Ones before joining us?"

[Anastasia]

"The Ones of what?" Dolmaya says, a wave of her hand, "What sort of ones do you speak of?"

[Iron Dragoon]

I don't recall, did Io say this demi-plane was safe to talk about this in?

[Anastasia]

Io's suggestion was if in any doubt at all, come to his realm and talk there in safety.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, let's take a trip to a friend. He can more fully and safely explain."

[Anastasia]

"Then we shall," Dolmaya agrees, "Where are we going?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"Our benefactor."

Alyssa stands and sends a message to Jarem to meet them.

[Anastasia]

'Talking to Ianvasah and Emily,' Jarem sends back. 'They're talking about quests and some business.'

[Iron Dragoon]

'They should come with us. I figured out something significant.'
