Cloud Age Symphony

[Ginrai]

Ginrai looks slightly concerned at that.  "Good luck on it going well.  What plan do you guys have for retrieving it and who will be with you?"

[Brian]

"The plan is not mine," she says apologetically.  "It's Radagast and Eske's.  But thank you, Master Parthipan."  She offers a smile.  "Take care of yourself."  She starts moving to the door, but pauses to give him time to respond.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai smiles and nods in return.  "You too, Astryd.  I hope that your mission is a safe and successful one."

[Brian]

Astryd nods back, smiling positively, but saying nothing as she sweeps out the door and leaves Parthipan alone again.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai sighs and tries to go back to sleep.

[Brian]

Just as Parthipan is about to doze off, a knock sounds at his door.

[Ginrai]

Ginrai sighs. "Come in!"

[Dracos]

Dracos opened the door.  "Still up, Parthipan?  Got something important I need your help with."

Dracos

[Brian]

Radagast and Nathan step into the room behind Phil, Radagast carefully closing the door before quietly announcing, "The crystal of Liene remains in place.  I've heard back from my allies."

[Ginrai]

"Yeah. Haven't slept since you left before. So, what's going on?"

[Dracos]

Dracos briefly glanced at Radagast.  "That's very reassuring to hear.  Thank you for checking that out on my paranoia."

Dracos turned back to Ginrai.  "Parth, here's the deal, Paul's made contact with us.  No one can know this outside of this room because if this gets out it'll cause extra suspicion that we don't need.  Rez wants him to come along and help on with sneaking around the Archonae.  To do this though, he has to be disguised so that he isn't recognized before we leave and until after he can just hide himself again.  Radagast is willing to do the disguise work but he needs Astryd's help.  I'd like do whatever you can to convince Astryd to help out without causing a ruckus or letting word spread about this.  Any questions?"

Dracos

[Ginrai]

The edges of Ginrai's lips curve downward in a slight frown. "I'll try, though why couldn't Paul be invisible during that time? Wouldn't that be easier?"

[Rezantis]

Nathan shrugs helplessly.

"I don't trust his invisibility. The archonae . . . well. Radagast doesn't think the Archonae could see through an illusion, but we've got no such promises about his invisibility, and no real way to test it. It's not something I'd like to stake all our lives on, to be honest."

[Ginrai]

Ginrai nods.  "I see....  I'll try to get Astryd to help out.  Could one of you ask her to come here?"

[Dracos]

Dracos blinked.  "This preferrably occurs Parthipan, without it being indicated that you are being told to do this.  You understand?"
