[b][color=#33FFF7]"All understandable, Master Cedar. Nothing is set in stone yet, but you wouldn't need to do anything you dont want."[/color][/b] Still placating the bear, but Theodore felt like he's making good progress. He only need to reconvene with Mother later, set a few things rolling... then they can contact Cedar with a better-thought plan on the board.

Reaching into a pocket, Theodore produced an insignia made out of dull-grey metal depiciting the Steinwall's stone tower in front of a backdrop of snow-capped mountains. It's oddly smooth and weightier than expected, little "XVI" inscribed at the back. He double-checked the inscription before offering the token to Cedar, ensuring that he wouldn't mix up the numbering.

[b][color=#33FFF7]"For communication. A paired token exist, each can be used as anchor to direct scrying at. And it should keep you out of most trouble within the kingdom's border, just flash it at the constabulary. While I know you likely wouldn't, please dont abuse the fact."[/color][/b] Theo paused, glancing at the direction of the party as if he could sense something. About time, huh? Speak of timing, he's just about finished. [b][color=#33FFF7]"Ah, I see your tail's coming. You can ask them to lead you to your room. Until next time, Master Cedar."[/color][/b]

Rubbing the ring with a finger, Theodore stepped to the side of the hallway as a strange sensation coated him... as if the mind tried to say that he's there and he's not at the same time. Yet as he stepped away, a maid turned the corner before promptly ignoring the mage like he didn't exist and beelining straight for the bear sticking out like a sore thumb a couple steps away.

[b]"Sir bear, I've finally found you! The King have said some words in your favor earlier-"[/b]
