Oh no, Blai definitely doesn't want to go take a bath if he'd be out of contact with Seldan the whole time instead of just five minutes maybe.

Probably the bathing-room isn't going to be insanely shielded even from the hallway, though he supposes they should check; probably the former-meeting-room is insanely shielded because sensitive conversations would happen there or something, but it's not like shielding additional internal walls is free. He doesn't mind mostly lurking in the hallway for whatever parts Blai doesn't actively want privacy for. 

Okay. Bathtime then.

Leareth indeed does not bother to have the bathrooms separately shielded from the hallway in his base. There's plenty of hot water and Blai can borrow a towel, and Seldan will still be reachable for conversation or mental chess.

(If Blai seems to actually want five minutes alone in his head, Seldan will go excuse himself to "get the straw in his bed stomped down properly" and mostly not find this stressful.) 

He does, yeah, there were those dreams about the Shadow-Lover that require some private reflection.

Then Seldan will get his straw very comfy and remain entirely ignorant of such reflections! 

Once he’s back out in the hallway he harasses someone in Mindspeech to find out what the laundry arrangements are, in case Blai needs his clothes properly cleaned at some point.

They have gone some time without being Prestidigitated now, yes.

Unfortunately Velgarth magic is inferior in this respect and apparently even Leareth doesn't have a spell to replace washing clothes the mundane way with soap and water, but they have a setup for it that Blai is welcome to make use of (assuming his clothes will be fine with that? Do they make clothing differently if you can use a spell to clean it directly?) He can borrow something to wear in the meantime that should fit tolerably. 

Blai's clothes are wool and he has no reason to believe that nonmagical laundry will harm them. Out he comes in his borrowed garb.

And they can go relax in their bedroom until someone lets them know they're needed for casting Owl's Wisdom!

If they run out of Acts to read, Seldan has been making an effort to get to know everyone he can reach with Mindspeech and he suspects he's found some Mindspeakers who would be interested in learning the four-person chess variant. 

Oooh!! ...it would be irresponsible to rush through the remaining Acts about it.

Indeed. Seldan is also enjoying the Acts and it's plausible Leareth will want to hear about it - or at least would benefit from hearing about it regardless of whether he asks - once things have calmed down a bit. 

Unfortunately they're not going to get a chance to play weird four-person chess this afternoon, because they're interrupted about half a candlemark by someone coming to knock on the door and politely let them know that Haven is ready for the working and they're setting up to bring Vanyel briefly over. The plan is to do the Gate in one Work Room and have Blai in the room over for Vanyel to pop over, just in case something weird happens to the Gate though there's no specific reason to think it would.

A regular non-permanent Gate being violently blasted from the other side would go down before leaking enough energy to get through standard Work Room shielding, so that's probably a reasonable degree of precaution and it's not worth the added delay of making Vanyel do a two-hop Gate; this should be strictly less risky to Blai than being in Haven, which he was all of last night. 

(Seldan is still slightly tense. Maybe more about the situation broadly than about Blai's safety.) 

Blai will have to take everyone's word for it on how risky being around Gates is. He will go cast the Owl's.

They bring Blai down the hall to a different Work Room. Seldan does not fit through the door, but can be hastily keyed to the shields so they're at least not cut off from Mindspeech contact. 

It's going to be about a five-minute wait while they coordinate Vanyel's Gate over. 

How about Blai waits in the hall with Seldan because he doesn't know how generalizable the mysterious falling over after a gate into Leareth's base might be and would like to enter the room after it's confirmed everything seems normal.

The plan is that Vanyel will be Gated into the adjacent room, so in theory Blai is actually more thoroughly shielded from the Vanyel-Gate if he's in the Work Room rather than the hallway. ...If he feels more comfortable with his Companion in the room with him in case something odd does happen, they could get Seldan in there with him by doing a Gate from one side of the door to the other, this is only mildly silly. 

Adjacent room is fine. Sorry.

They probably have time to at least start a game of the smaller-board fast chess variant, and maybe finish it? 

Vanyel’s Gate goes up in the adjacent room four minutes later. Nothing disastrous happens. He follows Leareth’s mage out and across to Blai’s Work Room.

Blai puts Seldan in check and casts Owl's Wisdom on Vanyel.

And now he’s on a time limit and had better hurry. Vanyel gives Blai a tight smile and ducks out back to the other Work Room.

(The Gate does not explode. He is deposited in Haven and the Gate is taken down without incident.)

And now they can worry about everything that could go horribly wrong! 

(They’ll know one way or another if it worked in the next quarter-candlemark, and probably sooner if, contra the prophetic hint, it goes disastrously. Seldan could try to distract Blai from fretting but honestly this is among the most reasonable possible times to be anxious about things that might go wrong.)

The Star-Eyed could be wise to Minor Prophecy by now and deliberately sabotaging it, it seems ludicrously useful for a second circle spell only when there's no countermeasures and what if there are countermeasures now! What if Vanyel dies and She grabs his soul, or Vkandis does! What if Iomedae tries to talk to the Velgarth gods and it goes really badly and they start chucking random souls into Hell because they're ticked off! What if the Shadowgod did not at ALL mean to come off that way by appearing as a pretty girl and has Found Out Somehow and is mad at him! What if Velgarth and Golarion are time dilated relative to each other and he's already late for the convention and somebody interpreted the lack of Iomedaean attendance as a bad omen and now the country is going to be... Gorumites or something... or worse! What if Owl's Wisdom makes Vanyel do something impulsive and crazy, it's occasionally known to have that effect, somebody gets an Owl's and realizes they want to desert the army or leave their spouse or something. What if the room Vanyel Gated in to is now permanently in a state of will-cause-Blai-to-fall-over and he forgets which room it is and walks into it and falls over. What if it's actually morally wrong to Inflict Minor Wounds on a chicken and he does it tomorrow anyway and then he's Lawful Evil and Iomedae has to drop him. What if he picks the wrong kinds of elementals to summon tomorrow, like if he should get a fire one and an air one but gets an earth one and a water one instead, and Leareth takes too long to find the way to Golarion, and the dead all need True Resurrections, and Nefreti Clepati doesn't happen to feel like it even if they have all the diamonds she'd need. What if there's no plan in place to get him to a kyree or anybody else who needs to be Gently Reposed today and the spell's a loss. What if these clothes he's borrowing are not fastened correctly because he isn't used to them and they fall off at an inopportune time. What if he prepped much too much for yesterday's crisis and today he's instead of drowning in a frozen river going to have to deal with falling off a cliff or fighting a lich or something. What if all this time the thing he could have been most productively spending his hours on is learning to use a sword so he could see about channeling positive energy at a lich with a sword, he'll sure feel stupid if a lich shows up now. What if Leareth has unbeknownst to anyone fallen over somewhere due to mysterious gates-resulting-in-falling-over effects.
