Kire smiled back when she saw Ruli inside the sitting room. She sat down on the couch next to him, then slumped back with a huff. "He's still researching when I left. I don't think he intends to sleep; he brewed another pot of coffee. We mostly just tried to anticipate which provinces would experience some magical anomaly, though it's mostly just educated guesswork." 

She yawned, then leaned closer, resting her head on his shoulder. "Last thing I saw him doing was look up emblems, sketches, insignias. Said something about the woman's dress being familiar somehow. He's practically married to the desk right now." She sighed, lazily reaching for his hand, lacing her fingers with his as she fell silent. "And you? No luck remembering yet?"
