Both their countries have permanent Gates, now; messages go through regularly.

He replies about two hours later. :Leareth?:

Permalink

Leareth finishes scribbling a final note and sets down his papers. 

:Yes, here: 

Permalink

:I hear you found a you?:

Permalink

:I think so. ...At least, maybe. He seems - off, to Carissa and me both: 

Permalink

:I have to say, 'you but off' is not on the list of people I'd love to meet. Off how?:

Permalink

:Carissa and I both read his thoughts. We do not think he is dangerous, just– hmm. For context, he is sharing his body with its original inhabitant, which is - rare for me - and something I had already tested and decided against by this point in his - our - timeline. Anyway. He seems mostly - disengaged, and tired and moody, and when I read his mind he was ruminating on various bad things. Rather than doing anything about them! Discovering an entire new world and an older and more experienced version of himself should...be an exciting and promising opportunity, for a me...: 

Permalink

:...yes, it really should! Huh. Have you ruled out any kind of magic interference or mind control - what's the person he's sharing with like -:

Permalink

:I did not see any kind of Velgarth mind-control - come to think of it, Golarion mind-control would also be apparent to mage-sight. The person he is sharing with seems - curious, mostly? His parents are explorers. They are here as well, now, Vanyel and I picked them up once we were alerted to that:

Permalink

:Do you know if that usually happens when you try to share?:

Permalink

:I quickly checked some of my notes on my early tries at sharing, and...there were problems, which is why I stopped attempting it, but I do not think the worrying things I observe about him correlate particularly with the problems I noted: 

Permalink

:Huh. I could come meet him, if you'd like. We'd have to keep it awfully quiet, or do it in Aktun, if we wanted to avoid a lot of fuss.:

Permalink

:Carissa thought it would be valuable for you to speak with him, which seems right to me. I would prefer to avoid fuss and can probably bring him to Aktun for it - at least, in a day or two once I have spoken to him about this: 

Permalink

:That sounds good. Your building?:

Permalink

:Sounds good. I can alert you once we have a time arranged?:

Permalink

:That sounds good. How are Carissa and Ma'ar and Aspexia.:

Permalink

:Well, overall. I think both Carissa and Ma'ar are worried about the current situation. Pexa is - presumably not, but I think she is sad that her papa went away for days and then was too busy with paperwork and stressed about mysterious adult matters to wish to play with her:

Permalink

:Children turn out all right whether or not you parent them, you know.: This is very gently teasing; Khemet would probably have fewer children and pay them more attention were it entirely his decision.

Permalink

:Yes, yes, and I know she has plenty of parenting available from the nursery staff, nonetheless it seems I miss her and she misses me: It turns out he has substantially more feelings about parenthood than he had expected going in. 

Permalink

:All right. Let me know when it'll be a good time for me to meet Tadesse. - what is his sharing-person's name.:

Permalink

:Ekunde. I will do that - see you then: Pause. :Love you: 

Permalink

Leareth is suddenly so tempted to Gate to Osirion right now, he misses Khemet, but now is an especially terrible time to do that. He sighs and goes back to skimming through and signing off on other people's reports and proposed decisions. 

Permalink

Ekunde has eventually reached the point of being incredibly sick of sitting in bed. He feels fine physically, it's just Tadesse filling the back of his head with an ongoing stream of weariness and resignation even though that makes no sense

He gets up and suggests to Ayodele that they go explore. 

Permalink

They can do this! Well, assuming they're allowed; Ayodele shyly finds a servant and manages to communicate, despite the lack of a shared language, that they want to rejoin the rest of the family for the tour.

Dayo hugs his older brother, then bounces. "You should come see the suite of rooms they gave us! It's incredible!"
