No, not at all. He stays for a few words with Iustin, and then moves as if to walk out the door rather than vanishing into thin air.

Blai catches up for him but waits to be acknowledged.

"Select. I'm glad you're back. Can I help you with anything?"

"I have heard that you teleport to your county on a nightly basis and that some of the Glorious Reclamation is posted there. Do they have anyone among them who would be capable of the introductory catechism classes I'm missing?"

"I do. We have a number of people who would be qualified... Lastwall has more," and in particular more whose other current duties involve catechizing priest candidates "but I think I could provide someone outside of convention hours, if you'd have the time for lessons."

"I need to attend the trial today, and tell Valia about it. After that I would like absolutely nothing better than to spend every waking minute catching up with whoever can least painfully be spared. I am deeply concerned about my lack of guidance. And hers, though I understand that of course she cannot go traveling now."

"Yes, failing to provide the two of you with instruction is one of the bigger mistakes we made that led to the events of Toilday. Have you spoken with Cantes and de Luna yet?"

"I don't believe we've been introduced."

"Ah. They're Lastwallers, in town to write a failure analysis for the riots. To identify all the places where different policy might have helped us avoid or mitigate them. I think they will want to talk to you before you go - the simplest thing, if you want to spend all your time studying, is for me to take you with me to Vigil tonight, and bring you back when the convention resumes. So ideally you'd speak with Cantes and de Luna today. I'm not sure where Iustin has them set up, yet."

"If you don't plan to teleport until this evening that leaves me some hours not already committed to the trial or to visiting Valia. Is a failure analysis a - standard practice -" He is very charmed by the idea if you know how to read Chelish people.

"Yes, we do them regularly. Usually with less time and resource investment and for smaller matters than this one."

"Should I seek them out to tell them when I'm available? What do they look like?"

"Please do. Cantes is older, Ustalavan, a little on the short side, clean-shaven. De Luna has - two arms. Brown hair, about your height, beard. Probably both in uniforms, but de Luna might be in armor instead."

"Does... Cantes not have two arms?"

"No, sorry, that was my mistake. They both have two arms, it's just that de Luna lost one of his and then spent more than a decade under a curse that stopped it from regenerating, and I am used to describing him as having one arm, that being his most striking physical feature until relatively recently."

"Ah. Will they be around the temple or should I find them elsewhere?"

"The temple, probably, but Iustin would know better."

"Where should I meet you this evening?"

"Here seems simplest."

"I'll be here. Thank you, ser."

So he goes back to tell Iustin that he plans to attend the trial, visit Valia afterwards with notes from it, and then travel with Ser Cansellarion in the evening, but that leaves some sections of the day during which he can speak to de Luna and Cantes.

"When did you learn that you had been selected for the constitutional convention?"

"I received a letter at my fort, and returned to Cheliax with the next Teleport wizard."

"Did you understand yourself to be invited, or required, to attend?"

"...If I recall correctly I thought that I was invited but in such a way that I would be ordered if I were in a formal chain of church command. I might have written for clarification on that if I didn't think it was a safe time to hand off the fort but I judged it to be a good a time as any."
