He sends this.

There's another delay. Oh. Damn. That explains things. Are they okay? What can we do for you?

I think they're doing a little better since they found us. But we are in danger and they wanted to help.

...how long were they... I'm not sure I want to know. How can we help?

We need to know some safe magic forms to train new mages.

And you can learn it from there? Without alarming them? We do have a mage in training, they aren't casting right now or I assume you wouldn't be talking to me about it, they usually practice in the morning.

We could learn it without anyone even noticing, we think. 

Good. I'll make sure they're free to practice tomorrow morning, do you need anything else?

We don't. I think our kobold would find it really nice to see you but I take it that can't really be done.

Probably not easily, no. I'd like to see them too, though, you can tell them. How far away are you?

He sends the distance; about forty miles.

Tribe'll worry if I'm gone that long, but tell them I'll do it anyway if they want me to.

Hey, your friend says that if you want to see them they'll come to meet you but their tribe will worry.

She's visibly torn. Later; I'm fine for now. Tell them I'll make something they can share with the other Speakers to come see me next summer, though.

He conveys this.

Sounds good. Take care of them for us, all right?

We'll certainly do our best.

Thanks, and a burst of affection. If you need anything else... they'll know what you can ask of us.

Thank you.

They miss you and hope you're okay and asked us to look after you.

Yeah. She leans on him. They're going to want the whole story, at some point. Any luck on the magic?

Said there'll be someone practicing tomorrow morning.

Good. Do you want the sense now? It doesn't make much difference, I guess.

I suppose so, just in case there are unexpected problems with the Eldar learning it.

She nods, and leans a little closer for a moment before sitting up. Her eyes close, and, if he's paying attention, he's suddenly aware of a new mental action he could take.

He is paying attention. It works.
