Hidden truths

[Nephrite]

Moore snorts next to Sylvie.

That's an interesting take on the story, but it isn't quite the truth, unfortunately. I'm honored my name has gotten around so much in your halls, though.

Or is it? I mean, technically...

[Anastasia]

Sylvie looks over, an unspoken curiosity on her face.

'I suppose not. The faerie queen wouldn't survive long enough to win the contest.'

[Nephrite]

I've definitely seen what Shar believes is beauty, and I'll have nothing of it.

"Apparently there's a story that I broke Shar's heart when I choose a 'faerie queen' over her." He says.

He'll have to tell Ilsenine about that the next time he talks to her...

[Anastasia]

Sylvie gives into chuckles at that.

Meanwhile? 'But you wish to talk about something Shar plans?'

[Nephrite]

Yes. It was not so long ago that I dealt with a group of Sharrans who had decided it would be wise to set up their camp in Mineral - it did not end very well for them, as you likely are aware.

I have reason to believe she's being more subtle now, sending agents into courts to try and influence them, or at least get more information. If you had heard anything similar, I would be interested in pursuing a further investigation - with your approval if it was within your boundaries, of course.

[Anastasia]

'I'll consider it,' Is the answer you get back. 'I'll be in touch.'

[Nephrite]

Thank you.

"He'll be in touch." Moore says with a small shrug. "Not a lot we can do about it, especially if Grumbar has told them to not allow us to interfere in some capacity."

[Anastasia]

Still chuckling, "That as my first concern. After all, can't have you breaking more hearts in Earth." Sylvie responds.

[Nephrite]

"It's true." Moore says with a small sigh. "But if that ends up being the case then we have more answers than we do now." A shake of his head. "For now, it looks like we have to keep waiting."

[Anastasia]

With a wry smile, "You'll have a distraction soon enough, regardless." Sylvie says, smiling.

[Nephrite]

"I don't like the sound of that." Moore says with a frown.

[Anastasia]

"Don't you trust me?" A few more chuckles go through Sylvie, "You should be able to figure this one out."

[Nephrite]

A long, exasperated sigh as he just gestures at her.

"Yes, don't worry, I have a feeling I know what it is." He says. "Far be it from me to challenge a goddess of knowledge." He says with a smile.

[Anastasia]

"Go on then and get ready for it," Sylvie stands up, "It shouldn't be long."

[Nephrite]

Moore makes a non-committal noise before he's off to go freshen up for a guest.
