Home again

[Ebiris]

"Bye Eudard, good luck in your quest. We all worked hard to liberate Zariel and want to see her do well," Marie smiles at the human man before she steps over to stand next to Helm.

[Anastasia]

With that, you are gone. In an instant you are at the door to Sylica as...

Alicia feels it. A divine presence just beyond Sylica. The avatar of Helm is there, a 'knock' of sorts sent your way.

[Ebiris]

Alicia and Syala relocate to one of the meeting rooms in Liberton, well lit and overlooking a parade ground, the pair sat on ornate wooden furniture by a long table as she broadcasts their presence and invitation to teleport here to the avatar.

[Anastasia]

In an instant Marie and Helm are there. The avatar steps forward, "Were you watching Marielle?" he asks, to the point.

[Ebiris]

"I was," Alicia confirms. "I know what Zariel is currently working towards, though she hasn't been in contact with us recently."

Meanwhile Marie walks over to stand behind and to the left of Alicia's seat, hands clasped demurely over her thighs and gaze slightly lowered, appearing the dutiful servant.

[Anastasia]

"If you could catch us up?" Syala asks, "It would be helpful."

Helm goes on from there, "She has spent some time patching old relationships and establishing her bases of power. I wish to give her several - she will need to draw on many for her task, and I do not wish her to stay in one place and grow complacent. I would ask you to provide a residence for Zariel here, one she and hers may use as they see fit."

[Ebiris]

"There was a spot in our Wychwood that she liked, I'll have something subtle built there for her there with room for a half dozen people's comfort," Alicia offers, having no problem hosting Zariel whenever she likes, considering she exerted herself so much to rescue her.

[Anastasia]

"It is done," Helm says, "I also wish to meet Antenora."

[Ebiris]

Alicia relays that!

Antenora, could you come here? Helm would like to meet with you.

[Anastasia]

In a mere instant Antenora is there. Helm comes forward and offers his hand, which is taken and shaken.

"Would you walk with me?" Helm asks.

Antenora nods to that and smiles, "I would be honored."

In that instant the two of them are gone.

[Ebiris]

"She'll tell us what it was about later," Marie pipes up once they're gone.

"Thank you Marie," Alicia says tiredly, a little vexed at her curiosity being so obvious. "Anyway, I think it's time you took Honey Bell on tour to Pallanth."

[Anastasia]

Syala chuckles, "If it was anyone but Helm, I'd think that was romantic. Yes, do focus on Pallanth, I'll have some agents elsewhere to watch west in case it was a feint."

[Ebiris]

"I'll get right on it!" Marie salutes and vanishes, intending to start herself out in Elfsander and working inland from there.

[Anastasia]

Once Marie's gone, Syala turns, "I doubt they'll be that long," she says, then with a knowing smile, "Let's set up a nice meal so we can get all the details from Antenora."

[Ebiris]

"That sounds good," Alicia agrees, letting Syala handle catering.
