That Damn Skein Gate Lights Up Again ((T.S. 9:30 am, Nov 4 / 2258

[Andrei Katrares]

*Ferdouz nods.*

"Of course. Forgive me, it was arrogant to assume you had not already considered the matter thoroughly. I remember hearing the name, but have not had the pleasure of meeting her. I will strive to ensure that one day I do - she must be an important member of the tribe to warrant such a vigil.

I wonder though, your description leads me to believe she negotiates contracts. It is my understanding that a summoner may simply force a contract on an unwilling demon, which might prove more helpful - I infer, perhaps wrongly, that negotiations with demons are partly responsible for these happenings.

I will send word to those I can get in touch with. In the meanwhile, if you have need of me or my scrolls, I will set up my tent near the skein gate while I wait for responses. Just send a runner."

*Ferdouz bows again.*

"Thank you again for your time, Sevatar Loken, and you as well Ursel."

[Dr. Moran]

Ursel smiles and offers a wave. "Any time, fratello, stay well. I'll be around here if you ever need me."

[Promises]

Sevatar gives a small bow to Ferdouz. "You are likely correct, about the summoner. If you know any that are trustworthy enough to help, I would appreciate that. And she is important - perhaps the most in Ralinwood. The town owes its life to her, whether they want to admit that or not.

Should you find yourself with spare time, I'd be delighted to hear more about your heritage, and the land you hail from. Take care."

[Melody]

Melody comes walking down the path with a basket. "Got some more supplies,"

She then pauses and looks to the fire elf. "Ah...I know you." She takes a moment, "Ferdoux?" She asks as she goes to drop off the basket by Sevatar. "It's good to see you again, I was worried something had happened. Is Ezra here too?"

[Andrei Katrares]

*Ferdouz smiles at Melody.*

"It is good to see you as well. He is not here as of yet, although he may visit at some point. I am uncertain if it is his intent to remain within Berphaunt or not for the moment. Are you also helping to sort out this hell-gate business?"

[Melody]

"I hope he does, the area of the institute has become empty, and I've missed all of you dearly." She looks to it and then to Sevatar and nods, "While I believe that the one on the other side will probably find her own way back when she can, this one," She nudges towards Sevatar, "At this point has become a bit of a duty for me. But taking care of others is one of the things I do best." She smiles. "Do you plan on staying long? Also, Greggor is in town too, you should try to find him and say hello, I'm sure he'll be happy to see you."
