"Mmm."

"You obviously don't have to agree with me here."

Shrug. That's not it but she's not going to argue, either.

They can continue talking a bit while he casts. Scrying takes an hour.

He gets out a remarkably expensive-looking mirror during this process. Eventually the casting concludes, and the mirror is now showing Cayden.

The good news is that he shows no signs of having lost the fork and is probably on track to survive the attunement duration in a state to dismiss himself when it ends.

Cayden's also in a space with decent sightlines. It's not a major Lower Plane.

He frowns and motions the squid over.

Ey looks at the mirror. It's not pretty but seeing evil is useful.

"The fake angels consistently have Faint evil auras, which is strange. I'm sure a gancanagh could fend off some nupperibos."

"They might not be true fiends."

"Do you need another pair of eyes?"

"It might be useful if you took a quick glance just to confirm things are as you expect."

She has a look.

"It's not … particularly unexpected."

Peek. Sigh. "He's getting out now, right?"

Shrug.

"He is capable of leaving at any time but is hoping to stall until the planar tuning fork is ready, which should be less than a week, probably a few days. If we don't get the fork we're going to need a Veranallia or a Solar for transit and they're very, very busy."

"Mmm." She's not happy with that answer.

"I can Send a message to him or Zoriana can call him back if it’s necessary."

"You can send a message to Purgatory?"

"There's a chance of failure, but yes. I can try up to 4 times today, each try takes me ten minutes, I can send 25 words, and the recipient should have the option to reply."

"...Can you send messages to anyone in Purgatory or just that one?"

"It needs to be someone I'm familiar with, but if you want to tell me about someone in great detail it might be worth a go."

"I don't think there's anyone I can tell you about in great detail and know is there."

"In the long run it's possible you could learn to do it yourself."

"Nice. I'd like that."

"If you stick around I can introduce you to my old teacher."

"If?"
