Temporal pixies

Synic soon arrives, appearing within the half hour. "Moore," he greets, "What manner of trial is this?"

[Nephrite]

Moore takes them both to one of his guest rooms, with some snacks and drinks available as he sits Synic down.

"Let me explain." He says, as he goes over what happened - including meeting Yan-C-Bin, and Akadi's intervening.

"I don't know if there are any other terms, or if Yan-C-Bin will take offense when he loses. I'm aware you're more than capable of handling yourself, but you have my guarantee that I will protect you, and you have the full weight of Celestia behind you should it come to that. I'm certain Tempus wouldn't have anyone interfere either, but regardless, that's the story."

[Anastasia]

"I owe you," Synic admits, "A single battle will do."

[Nephrite]

Moore smiles. "I wasn't concerned about that part, honestly. Selfishly, I just wanted to see you completely decimate whatever Yan-C-Bin brings." He says. "But I appreciate your assistance. Once we have the piece, if you ever have need of it, you're welcome to use The Wheel as you need. It's the least I can do for you."

[Anastasia]

"More than a fair trade," Is Synic's agreement, "If it does what you think it does."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "Then I shall see you tomorrow. I'm not allowed to give you any boons, but I believe you can use your own."

[Anastasia]

"That willb e enough, "Synic agrees grimly as...

Any prep or todos before this?

[Nephrite]

Nope, this seems paramount so Moore will make sure it gets done.

[Anastasia]

Okay, who is going along with you and Synic?

[Nephrite]

Akadi didn't seem to indicate she wanted anyone but me and my champion, so I'd go with just us unless anyone actively opposes that suggestion.

[Anastasia]

"For once it's for the best," Sylvie remarks as you all talk it over. "None of us can slow down Akadi if she means is harm anyway, and I doubt she'll allow Yan-C-Bin to personally attack one of her guests."

"Distasteful, but I believe you're right," Xandra agrees.

[Nephrite]

"I'd like to respect the spirit in which we've been asked to come." Moore says. "If we enter with all of us, I think it shows... I don't know, it just feels like it'd be received badly. I'd like to at least make the best impression with this, so that we can continue to operate on Air if needed. But if there's a problem... I will let you all know, as well as Barachiel, who I think wouldn't take it sitting down."

[Anastasia]

"We'll be here," Kaja promises, "Now go and make Yan-C-Bin lose."

[Nephrite]

Moore nods and will meet up with Synic before heading to Akadi's...

Huh, does she have a palace? He's never researched it, but he's certain he'll be diverted somewhere when he arrives!

[Anastasia]

Just for everyone's reference, K:P.
