Good girl...

She has a feeling the Night Mother will be pleased.

Seems so, from the more intense whispers Astridr hears.

"I," she whispers into Danella's bloody skin, "Have a mission for you, and perhaps for our newest recruit..."

Shiver!

"At your command."

"Very good girl..."

"The Night Mother has whispered to me the location of a contractor, far from where our networks would usually hear."

"You're the Listener, then."

It worked!

It did!

"Confirming this contract will be the real proof, though."

"We'll have to get on that."

"You will."

"Might need a healing potion first..."

She laughs and lays glowing hands on Danella's body, knitting her wounds together.

Mmm that feels almost as good as the inverse did.

Better than a healing potion, certainly.

Much.

"Should I go get Maellys?"

"Yes, do."

Off she hops to do so, pausing carefully outside Birgitta's door to make her presence known before barging in.

She doesn't bother disentangling unless Birgitta seems like she wants to.

Meh, sounds like Danella. It'll be fine.

Good. 

"Come on in."

She enters.

"You two are getting along well, huh?"

"Exceptionally so - Birgitta is lovely. Thank you for introducing us."

"It was my pleasure."

"If you're not still too... busy," eyebrow waggle, "Astridr wants to see you."

"We can take a break."
