The gift of ash

[Nephrite]

Whatever we can do to balance things I will commit to fully.

[Anastasia]

I cannot speak of it further, it is a matter both myself and my counterpart are invested in and cannot come to an agreement on.

[Nephrite]

It's like a fight between two siblings, except on a much larger scale.

Forgive me for my insolence, but even you must find counsel outside of your normal circle, every now and again.

[Anastasia]

I do when I can, for even the humblest mortal at times can surprise us.

Were I not of that opinion, my son would have never disagreed with me.

[Nephrite]

He doesn't want to sound like he's lecturing him, but Moore wonders if he forgets the forest for the trees sometimes.

It took some outside influence to get him to wake up too - I simply mean to say that you can't give up even if it seems like you both can't come to an agreement. Sometimes you have to let someone behind the curtain to get a better perspective.

There is always hope, after all.

If I can help in this matter, I will. Otherwise I will continue to pursue the rest of my duties.

[Anastasia]

I cannot give up, but I cannot speak more. Be aware of Fire and be wary of it, for events move forward.

Were I to break my agreement with my counterpart, he would be free to ignore it as well, and our Competition in Fire could well result in an outcome neither of us desire.

[Nephrite]

As you will it.

If there's nothing else immediate that's going to happen, this is just a 'he would get an update on this to make sure it's fresh in the DM's mind'

*I'm guessing Dis hasn't replied about Syllen's stuff.
*Any update on Aurora and Danaxmos?

[Anastasia]

Dis has not. Act surprised.

Sure, feel free to reach out and get up an update.

[Nephrite]

Moore will check in with Sylvie since she was the one spearheading that!

[Anastasia]

Sylvie's found with Calley, as the two study an illusory magical script projected into the air. "...remember, that no matter what, never mix that rune with anything but itself. It has to be contained within the spell work or it'll ruin the entire spell. That's the trick of why antimagic spells are so hard."

[Nephrite]

"Trying something new? Or just the fundamentals?" Moore asks curiously.

[Anastasia]

"Advanced theory," Sylvie says, as Calley yawns. A glance to him, "Go play," she waves, as Calley hops up and runs off.

"So what is it?" Sylvie asks after.

[Nephrite]

"I was wondering if you'd heard anything about the last piece of the Wheel yet." Moore says, simply.

[Anastasia]

Sylvie shakes her head but glances to the side.

"...they're working on it. It's proving more difficult than they anticipated," she says, "They're actually asking for a favor. Apparently Grumbar's still worked up over the entire thing. I'll be back, hold on."

[Nephrite]

"If we need to offer something in exchange, we can." Moore says.

Actually...

"If it comes to it, let me know. I think I know someone who can help." He says.
