"I'll stay for as long as you need me to, Meesei," Ariel said with a reassuring smile. "I daresay it would be a simple matter to visit home once each day or two to make sure everything is going smoothly. I have had some practice multitasking lately, as you might imagine. However..." She tensely showed her teeth. "I may prefer to remain on Mundus whilst resting."

Fendros gave Lorag a glance before responding to Meesei. "Of course we'll help, Meesei, but...I hope it won't cause too much suspicion. Perhaps you could give us a pardoning for you, such as a magical project for the invasion or something of that nature? Something worth keeping a secret which isn't...well, as grave as this."
