She nods.

She looks for Mairon, sees if he's leaving anything open.

He is! He's sitting on a tree somewhere pretty, staring out at the horizon.

Does it look like Arda - Treelit, or at least flat.

Both flat and Treelit!

He's in an Arda. With Trees, but not necessarily mine, I guess. Left his eyes open.

Huh. Weird thing to do if he's up to anything suspicious.

He doesn't seem to be right now. Just enjoying the scenery. Which I suppose means he's probably not in a terrible hurry, though it could also mean he can do spell development in his head.

:He could also be relaxing at the moment because he already has the ability to worldhop and has no other urgent projects yet, but I do find this somewhat reassuring. Can you at least tell if the person you are contacting is in the same world as you or not? I am not sure if there is any way to get you to the other Arda to check, but it might be worth considering: 

I guess I could monitor the mana expenditure. It might be safe for me to go - with a Maia handy for mana - to the Endorë of my Arda for a moment and hope no one notices.

:Is there a mechanism by which someone could notice if you were unlucky? We can perhaps try to mitigate that:

Not if I'm also using the earcuff to monitor Mairon, I can't use it to stay in touch with two people at once.

Nod. :I suppose we should select an area of Endorë where there are unlikely to be any people, though I am not sure how similar Endorë now is to in the past. I may be able to shield you against magical detection by other Maiar?: 

Wouldn't hurt.

He can just give her his shield-talisman against both magical detection and attacks, since he's right now on territory held by an allied army and can make his own shields on the spot anyway. 

:Which Maia are you going with? I can shield them too; I am not sure if Maiar are magically detectable to each other but they are extremely visible to mage-sight: 

Olórin if he'll come.

Well, whenever Olórin has been asked and is ready (if he agrees), then Leareth can weave some Velgarth-style shields over him. It's kind of labour intensive to completely shield his strong magical signature against mage-sight, and Leareth can't even be sure that it's the right kind of shielding to hide from another Maia, but it seems much better than not doing it. 

He'd be delighted to come and that is very interesting.

:All right. Bella, please be very, very careful, and if–: 

He stops for a moment. Thinks. :I think the risk here is very small. Nonetheless, there are still unknown unknowns, and it is rather all or nothing since you are the only one here with an earcuff or the ability to teleport, so I am not even sure how we would attempt a rescue mission if you did not return in the expected interval. Possibly Vanyel could Gate across if you shared a memory of a place only present in that Arda - your house, for example? I do not actually have the inter-world Gate technique, yet; my alt does, but for many reasons we ought not ask him to go rescue you: 

I can show Vanyel what my house looks like, it's a good idea.

:I think he is still resting: Gentle poke at his shields, to check if he's still asleep. 

Not particularly in the mood to get out of his bedroll, but he's awake now, sure he can be shown a memory of her house.

Here is her beautifully Valian living room with the crystal ball and the tapestry of sleepy Fëanáro at his typewriter and all.

Should be a solid sense-impression to Gate off, in the unlikely event he has to attempt it; he's absolutely not going to Gate to the other Arda unless it's a genuine emergency, the Valar really don't need additional magical visitors to alarm them even more.

:That tapestry is adorable, by the way: he tells Bella. 

His mother gave it to me.

:Awww:
