They've left him alone in his cell.

He can't really be said to be lucid but he has very acute instincts for when there's someone and when he's alone - it's the last of his senses to depart him - and he's alone. 

And then suddenly he isn't.

Will do.

 

So that went okay, I think.

Permalink

How are they? Are they all right?

Permalink

I didn't ask about specifics, but they at least weren't too desperate to be careful of me. Sent five people to the jungle to check it out and send things back, and I'll be hunting for them on top of what I brought - I assume you saw.

Permalink

Thank you very much. 

Permalink

She grins, and sends her appreciation of him.

 

They told me a little bit about how they came to be crossing the ice - I'm not sure I have the whole story, though. Want to tell me your side of it?

Permalink

You don't have to be diplomatic. They told you we left them to die, and we did.

Permalink

That can be true without being the whole story, but okay.

I asked them what they want to make it right, and they'd like an apology and their things back.

Permalink

Of course. If my brothers object tell them it's an order.

Permalink

They might need to hear that from you, but I can tell them to come talk to you, she grins.

Is it okay for the other host to know you've been in Angband?

Permalink

 

...probably they should know that, yes.

Permalink

Okay. Anything I should know about telling them?

Permalink

Some of them will probably be glad and all of them will probably be reluctant to express sadness. Don't blame them for it. They're not heartless, they just don't know how bad Angband is and do know that I wronged them very terribly.

Permalink

Nod. Absolutely. Even if they did have some idea I wouldn't blame them for that when they're not even actually off the ice yet, things always seem to matter more when they're closer.

Permalink

I am worried that the two hosts will have a fight.

Permalink

They don't want to, they said to tell your host that.

Permalink

That's good. I am worried that when people hate each other and have weapons, fights happen anyway.

Permalink

Yeah. We can let people know that I'm not going to be very willing to let people who can't hold their tempers learn my world's magic, if that might help.

Permalink

It might. But it means you'd have to delay teaching it, and it's urgently needed.

Permalink

...Eldar timescales, right.

I can help with transportation if they want to just not settle near you, but I don't know if they'd want that.

Permalink

Probably, if there's another safe place for them to settle.

Permalink

Yeah. Maybe your siblings will be willing to help with that, too.

Permalink

I don't see how they could. 

Permalink

They've had scouts out.

Permalink

You're definitely welcome to ask them.

Permalink

All right. A couple more minutes to get warmed up, and then I'll go.
