[color=6ecff6]"A key?  Quite interesting,"[/color] Ethelred responded to Fio's explanation of the trinket.  [color=6ecff6]"I wonder why she would give such a thing to me."[/color]

Ethelred was doubtful that the fairy could have crafted it herself.  She wasn't exactly a very powerful unseelie.  The fact that Fio kept her in a jar suggested that the Sword Witch had no fear of the fairy's power.  Perhaps she swiped it from another Unseelie.  That'd explain why she'd be willing to hand it over.

[color=6ecff6]"On the matter of Luana, she proved to be a great help in dealing with the Unseelie,"[/color] he acknowledged the druid.  [color=6ecff6]"She's a bit talkative, but I can vouch that she's a courageous woman."[/color]

There wasn't much else to say, for now.  Ethelred was still awaiting a more detailed debriefing from Luna about her elf encounter.  Even if he wasn't quite as invested in it as Luana was, the mention of a boat, and Sorcha's own seeming interest in the topic meant that this was worth closely listening to.  Furthermore, he didn't want to delay Sorcha's own announcement, because she wouldn't have called them all here just to share stories of their last mission.
