"Oh? Because he could...bring other people back? I don't know if it'd have still worked if I'd been - any more dead..." 

"I guess maybe it doesn't help actually, if it doesn't work on people who are more dead. But it's promising!"

"I think people from this world must - keep existing a bit, after they die. Leareth probably knows more, we should ask. I..." It is still stupidly hard to talk about. "I - Tylendel - I had a dream once - with his spirit there... He seemed stuck. Frozen. He hadn't changed. But he - remembered - at least some things..." 

Hug.

Hug. 

"Sing'll try really hard. I wish I could tell you for sure - but I know it'll try."

"I know." 

And he should get the rest of the message from Savil rather than making her wait even longer. He can always go be upset afterward. 

More coded message is provided. 

Page decodes it.

There was a VERY awkward and tense conversation with Starwind and Moondance, which culminated in Savil having to Gate there in person to talk to them for multiple candlemarks about it. Skipping to the end of that tale, though: they're willing to move the Heartstone to a new Vale, since Valdemar apparently doesn't want it. They're pretty offended over it. 

"Wow, how dare you not want to have it around, I guess?"

Savil thinks they're mostly very confused and overwhelmed and don't know how to interpret any of what just happened, and also they think Tarinda is terrifying and very concerning for some reason. 

"Oh dear."

Tarinda shouldn't worry about this, though, the Tayledras live very far away and after this they're not likely to want to drop in on Haven. Savil thinks they should move the Heartstone with their cooperation before Van comes home, just in case; with their help there'll be enough Adept mages for it. 

Tarinda wishes them luck.

How's Vanyel doing? 

"Er, I'm fine. Feeling better. Having fun singing and sparring and keeping you company while you work so hard. Tarinda, can you translate that to code for me and I'll send it?" 

Tarinda can do this. Well, Page can.

Vanyel sends Savil a coded message to reassure her that he's fine, and receives back a coded message reminding him to eat enough and listen to Yfandes, and makes a face about it. 

Tarinda giggles and pats his arm.

And that's that. 

Vanyel sighs, heavily. "Not hard to guess why the Tayledras have a bad feeling about you, is it." 

"I suppose the Star-Eyed is doing that?"

"I reckon so. Moondance in particular is a Healing-Adept so he has the sort of Foresight intuitions, good or bad feelings about things, pretty sure that's Her. And your story, what's happened, it is a lot to absorb, and in some ways I guess they're very traditionalist. It wouldn't be hard to nudge them toward being scared about it instead of excited." 

"Well. Sing manages with traditionalists on Earth somehow."

"I'm sure Sing can find a way to make it work. As long as they leave us alone long enough to make Sing..."
