Rainbows loom

Moore smiles to Mei and then turns and smiles at Cresiel too.

"I've been given wisdom from Labelas Enoreth about how to achieve my goals." Moore says. "Please let Tepen know to expect me, if he isn't too busy."

A beaming, broad smile after that. "You can let Elena know that I'm pursuing her suggestion."

[Anastasia]

"I'll tell him," Mei promises. "Good luck!"

[Nephrite]

"Please come visit us sometime." Moore says. "You and everyone else are always welcome."

A smile and a wave before Moore's off back to Hope's Landing!

[Anastasia]

Home again. A moment to rest if you please, or a moment to do what you will.

Next move?

[Nephrite]

it'd be rude for us to just barge in on Tepen, so let's go ahead and go to Greenwood with the object we were given. I am assuming we need to be in Arborea for it to work, so Moore will take whomever wants to go and do that.

He will also ask Grias to send a message to the embassy there that they don't need to look for Greenwood anymore.

[Anastasia]

Oh yes, one question I need to know for DM side stuff: Did you ever message Ilsenine back?

[Nephrite]

Wow, no -- let me do that. I meant to do it IC when we got back from Tyr, then all the other stuff happened.

Before they do head off to Greenwood, Moore returns to his room to slip Ilsenine's ring on his finger.

...Hm, how can he be sure she isn't in the middle of something?

He experimentally taps the ring on his finger once to make a soft 'clink' noise. Maybe that can be their signal...?

...
...

He does have magic, but where's the fun in that?

[Anastasia]

Nothing immediately happens.

[Nephrite]

Moore will wait, then will try again!

He will wait... I dunno, let's say 20 minutes or so and then try again.

[Anastasia]

Same tactic or a different one?

[Nephrite]

Same tactic.

[Anastasia]

Nothing happens.

[Nephrite]

Oh, maybe it only works with spoken words...?

Either way, he will use his Sending Stone.

'Illsenine, my apologies for not returning your letter sooner. Do you have time to talk now?'

[Anastasia]

'Ah!' A quiet exclamation. 'A moment, please. I was asleep.'

[Nephrite]

Huh, has he ever been asleep when he's received a direct message like that...? Come to think of it... no? How odd.

He will wait!
