"Not necessarily. Should we not?"

"They might grumble - has Telkam taught anyone else-"

"Uh, I can check for circles drawn by Bajorans?" Check.

There are some!

"Yes. He is teaching Bajoran terrorists to summon. Great."

Sigh. "So then we maybe do want to keep this from coming to their attention lest they assassinate him. Which he'd deserve but which I'd rather avoid."

"Yeah. It's a very good thing Revelation Amentans are turning into daeva."

"Indeed." Sigh. "I thought he understood that was important."

"The Bajorans must've made a really compelling case."

"How much are they using it -"

"These are all the circles so far." He fans them out and counts.

Seven.

"Which isn't a staggering number..." Ratio of daeva types?

Angel, three fairies, three demons.

"This isn't that many. This would also turn up if he's been hiding most of the circles and just letting Bajorans finish them, which would make sense if they need to be able to dismiss them themselves, say."

"Or for translation, or if he wants some around who he didn't summon so if he dies someone else can learn."

"That would also do it, yeah. He hasn't written to explain himself."

"Anitam's probably reading his mail."

"He could ask a daeva to memorize a message and then tell me who to have somebody summon and have them not give the message to anyone else. I suppose that might not have occurred to him."

"Or at least seemed like enough hassle it wasn't worth it just to explain himself, not like we'd worry for him merely because he's gone off and joined a Bajoran terror group..."

"Well, you have his mail label too."

"They definitely read my mail but I could have someone write him."

"I can do it if you know what you want to say."

"Hey, Telkam, I wish you'd be safe out there. We're probably going to get Federation attention inside the year. Check the news (and don't preempt it, obviously). If you write we could arrange for you to come back and meet your nieces and nephews."

Cam takes dictation loosely enough that Aitim will not turn up as the author of these sentiments. Adds daeva courier message transmission method. Applies mail label.
