That sounds like it went well! They can have a nice unhurried sled ride back. 

A few minutes in, Vanyel remembers what he forgot. 

:Oh no I meant to tell him about the prophecy you cast on me.: 

:Well, now you have the artifacts and the spell, right? How long will it take you to learn the spell?:

:...I don't think it should take too long, it sounds like it's a variant on the more commonly known spell I already learned from him. And - I guess if we're casting it from the Hot Spring Clan caves, which should work fine even if Mindspeech wouldn't, and he's also behind shields, it should be close to impossible for Iftel to intercept even if they have people skulking around. I can try once we get back to the caves.: 

His mind is still clearly looking for something to fret about and has now fallen onto "worrying that Leareth is really upset" which is such a pointless thing to spend energy worrying about. 

Blai was really expecting to be whisked away back into the exact same cell where they were keeping him after that conversation, except no longer Technically Kidnapped (a vitally important distinction). So now he feels sort of at a loose end. Also he really wants the Acts.

There are so many options for things to spend over a candlemark of sled-right being stressed about! 

:...I think I might be unreasonably fixated on worrying about this: Vanyel sends to Blai eventually, :but I'm really scared that somehow Jisa ends up wrecking his immortality because a godplot happens to us and she - assumes the worst. She said she'd thought of a way to find it, and - the spirit bird thing could be a White Winds technique, they're a secret mage-school where she trained and they do a lot of planar magic.

- I'm just really hoping that if it was that, it was going to happen in the cave if we hadn't done the prophecy, and maybe leaving in a hurry means it can't happen now... Actually I might be fixating on that because it's - a way it could end up not happening - and if it wasn't going to be Jisa I have no idea what we can do about it.: 

:Can you reach her yet? If you're worried about this you should tell her as soon as we're in range.:

:I tried and couldn't. Or Yfandes either. I...should be in range, actually, but - it might be the shields on the caves, it's a kind of magic I don't know and I'm probably not keyed to them– actually wait I'm being an idiot.:

He pulls Aroon into the link. :Are you able to reach Hyrryl from here?: 

:Unless she is busy. Why?: 

Vanyel is not sure he feels like relaying this entire conversation through two kyree. It's not that he doesn't trust them, but - you can't unshare a secret, and honestly he only trusts them as much as he does because Stef trusts them and did he ever really check that. 

:Can you have her ask Jisa to duck out so we can Mindspeak her for a report? Or key her to the shields so she can Mindspeak me from inside, that would work too.: 

:Of course.: 

And several minutes later, 

:- You're headed back already? How did it go?: Jisa is including both Vanyel and Blai, they're only five miles away at this point, and her Mindspeech isn't nearly as long-range as Vanyel's but it's not that hard to Mindspeak someone un-Gifted at that range if she has Enara helping. 

Enormous relief!

:I think it went well in - all the ways we were specifically worried about. But, er, something else came up. - can you keep it to yourself for the moment, it's all right to tell Stef and the Companions but I don't know if the kyree should know.: 

That sounds a little ominous. 

:Er, sure, of course.: 

:Um. We agreed to have Blai cast the prophecy spell on Leareth as well. We think what it showed was - someone damaging or destroying his immortality setup.: 

:Oh no. Um. How?: 

Vanyel doesn't think there's any hint in Jisa's mindvoice that she's concealing something from him - the overtones are deeply and genuinely confused and distressed - but he haaaaaaaaaates having to ask himself that question at all. 

:There was a - spirit bird? Blai had the vision, I - only got part of it off him - I'm not sure of more detail than that: 

A long pause. 

:Blai, was the spirit bird a hawk, do you think?: 

:I couldn't swear to it but there are kinds of bird I could rule out and 'hawk' isn't one of them.:

:I think it's Brightstar.: 

:It - makes sense - we were looking for it. If I thought of way to find it he could have too. And he - if the Star-Eyed ordered him...: 

Well he flagged that but apparently he did a bad job of it because it took a Minor Prophecy to get Jisa to worry about the Star-Eyed's guy. This isn't why Blai's not close with any of his sisters but if it were it'd be a good reason.

Jisa is finding this really upsetting! 

:I still don't think he would do it if he knew he was sabotaging our negotiations! I think he - I could see him doing it if he thought everything had already broken down. But I don't know why he would end up thinking that, something must - go wrong in Haven -: 

:I'm not sure what specifically could go wrong with Leareth's messenger there but we know there's a Heartstone.:
