"Guess that makes sense. Are you fine with make some that're just for Thoughtsensing talismans, then?" 

"Yeah, I don't think anybody oughta be getting mindread. Are those different in some way?"

"Honestly the tolerances we can get working with quartz are pretty wide, so not in practice - possibly a different size or shape would be ideal if we could reliably make them for that, but I haven't done the research for it since, well." Shrug. "If you make me twenty like yours, that'll do fine." 

He will extend them this benefit of the doubt. Twenty like that.

"Thank you! Wow. That's - incredible. I guess you don't have any idea what it looks like to our mage-sight... It's beautiful." 

"I haven't the foggiest! Is that something you can - cast on other people to let them see -"

"Er, not that I know how to do, sorry. Mindspeakers can use concert-rapport to share Othersenses with each other?" 

"Nearly impossible to avoid a bit of incidental mindreading, though, even if we could pull it off with you not being a Mindspeaker. Sorry." 

"Alas. Perhaps one day someone will paint it."

"...Wow. What an idea. Anyway, I'd better get back to work. Good luck with your, er, fact finding mission. If you see any kids being burned alive we'd be grateful if you rescued them." 

Savil winces a bit but doesn't comment. 

"I... wasn't really going to stop to consider your gratitude if I saw any kids being burned alive, but I guess that's good to know."

Savil nods, glances at Sandra, and ushers Cam out.

"Anything else to test or tell me?"

"Er, not that I'm managing to think of right now." 

"Cool. I'll be back at some point probably. Thanks for all your help!"

And he gets back in his shuttle and flies to Karse.

Karse stretches out below him! 

About fifty miles south of the border region, it even stops looking like a desolate wasteland, mostly. There are still signs of weather-related disasters, some flooded fields and washed-out roads, some farmhouses and even small towns that seem to have been entirely ripped apart by storms and then abandoned. There's a main road that's been kept in decent repair, though. 

And eventually Sunhame. It's a significantly bigger city than Haven, though less densely-packed within the walls. The temple is easy to find. It's enormous and very, very covered-in-gold. 

Homey.

Cam lands outside the city and flies in on his own wings.

He gets a lot of staring and pointing from people on the ground! 

At one point before reaching the temple itself, a man in red-and-gold robes steps out of a building, raises his hands, and - does something, presumably trying to cast a spell. Nothing happens, since Cam is shielded, but he does feel it; it's vaguely reminiscent of a sound too low-pitched to hear but still buzzing in his teeth. 

That's... probably rude? Cam lands by the guy. "Hi!" he says in Karsite. "What's your name? I'm Cam!"

Startled shriek!

The man manages to yelp out a string of Karsite swearwords, and tries to throw a fireball at Cam. 

Cam looks around for potentially injurable bystanders who might require walls of ice to shield them.

All nearby bystanders are fleeing and scattering as fast as they can! The fire is pretty aimed, so it's really only the building behind Cam in danger. It's a wooden storefront, though. 

Wooden storefront gets an ice wall. "Careful with that," he says.

The man takes a few steps back, stopping when he runs into the building behind him. 

"What do you want?" he snarls at Cam in Karsite.
