"Oh, well," sighs the voice, with not a trace of remorse. "I'll tell him to be more conspicuous next time."

“Don’t bother, I imagine James took great glee in getting to moonlight as your minion and take me by surprise,” she rolls her eyes, fondly. “He’s incorrigible and would only be sorry he didn’t get to see my reaction. Well. Thank you very much, Taimi. Could you direct us to James, please, he and I have a bit of an... unprecedented magical affliction going on. Making us see and hear things, might drive us slowly mad, you know, the usual. We might need to borrow a bit of your lab to figure it out, depending on what his secretive organization knows.”

Kasmeer gives Vetareh a strange look, half-disbelieving half-"yep the Commander would date this person alright".

Permalink

"I'll loop him in! Hey Commander!"

Permalink

"Yes, Taimi?"

“Hi, James! Thank you for the communicator, It was very thoughtful. Along with your gift to Kasmeer, very practical, it was three gold, fifty-four silver, you’re welcome. We’re friends now, she’s very charming and clever. Where are you, or, no actually where should we meet up, we should get to figuring out our magical seeing things affliction sooner rather than later. I’m thinking it was likely the thing we killed when I first fell out of the Mists.”

Kasmeer hides a surprised giggle when Vetareh mentions the gift and grins at her.

"Oh, you saw it, too? I can meet you in Lion's Arch, or Divinity's Reach, and then get you a ride over to the library, they will want to take a look at you, too."

Permalink

Vetareh grins back at Kasmeer and winks.

“‘The’ library? Very specific, James. Would it make your entire super secret organization calmer if I spent the entire time blindfolded? Divinity’s Reach works fine.”

Permalink

"They are not worried about the library, it will be fine. I'll meet you there!"

Permalink

“If you say so. I wouldn’t mind if it made your spy friends less jumpy and stabby. Anyway, going now.”

She has by now located the communicator hidden on her person. Very subtle, good job, James, she’s not even sure when or how he planted it. Is there an off switch of some kind? Or a hang up button?

Permalink

No to both things.

"See you in a bit!"

Permalink

Of course not. So Taimi's going to be listening in to every conversation she makes, which is not terrible, but still needs fixing. She reattaches the communicator to a different place, this time on the inside of her collar instead of the sneaky location James hid it at before.

"Well thank you for stealing me, Kasmeer. I can try to sneak you in with some kind of excuse for the Order of Whispers, or I can try to ask any questions you particularly want to know the answer to for you?"

Permalink

"Oh don't worry about it, I have my own secret organization to keep me occupied. Do keep me posted on your little problem, though!"

Permalink

Vetareh snorts. "Of course you do. Have fun with that. And I will, I'll do my best to not explode or go mad or something."

And then: to the library! Or, well. To Divinity's Reach to meet up with her boyfriend, and then be guided towards the mysterious library.

James arrives only a few minutes later and immediately moves in for a hug.

Permalink

Aww! He's cute, and yes of course he can have a hug.

Permalink

"Ready to meet the shadowy secret organization that everyone knows about?"

Permalink

"Sure! Everyone, though? It seems like it'd be counter-productive for a shadowy secret organization to be famous."

Permalink

"It could not very well recruit people to kill dragons if it was not known to do that!"

Permalink

"Fair enough, I suppose," she snorts, reaching out to hold his hand. "Well, let's go say hi. I'll still tolerate being blindfolded if it'll help them be less jumpy."

Permalink

James shakes his head, smiling, and gives her the device to let her follow him to a waypoint she hasn't been to before.

Then he disappears.

Permalink

Her boyfriend disappearing out of her actual hands is still going to take some getting used to. She's immediately curious about how waypoint system differentiates between people with such precision; she can think of a few different ways that it could pull it off, but having it integrated so neatly with an automated system that works for random people implies—no, no, focus.

To the mysterious unknown place that she has a waypoint thingy for!

Permalink

The mysterious unknown place turns out to be... somewhere in the Shiverpeak mountains, right next to some hot springs. There are a few people in the actual springs, and some tents set up here and there with vendors and places to store clothes.

Permalink

Well, she sees why the Order of Whispers would want to set up a meeting location here; it's rather nice, if a bit chilly. Fortunately for her, her rather skimpy attire is enchanted to warm her, so the cold isn't too bothersome. She makes a mental note to come back here if she decides she needs a good soak in something other than James's bath. As it is now, however, she's on business, not pleasure.

Accordingly, her first order of business is finding and following James to the library. Of nonspecific noun and complete lack of adjectives.
