2/2

[miscreant]

[...that was kind of out of the blue. She frowns at the screen. The second message comes almost directly after the first. Were they actually acting against them?]

why

[hyanaimne]

[HA HA . . . ha . . . ]

Curiosity.

[and she swiftly changes the topic]

I am glad to hear from you, though. I knew you had been brought back, but not much else beyond that.

[miscreant]

[Something is up, but she's not going to push it. Not yet.]

If everything I am hearing is correct, everyone made it out of this rather unscathed.

[hyanaimne]

Yes, you were our only . . . hm. Does it count as a death if you are already dead, my dear?

[text is a horrible medium for jokes, Tempest thinks, but she's trying. Oh, is she trying]

[miscreant]

I think not. It was hardly of any consequence after all.

[No, actually, it was awful. But she won't share that. Too proud, etc.]

[hyanaimne]

[Tempest can understand that. Her own pride is really the only thing she is certain of, sometimes]

Either way, I am glad that you were brought back. You should be happy - I've never said as much to an elf before.

[miscreant]

How ironic. I am likely the last elf you should be saying such things to. I will consider myself honored.

[She steers off the resurrection topic. Part of her is still surprised Koltira brought her back a second time.]

[hyanaimne]

Yes, well, I am not known for my good decisions.

[miscreant]

Yet one more thing we have in common.

Have you heard anything about the proceedings?

[hyanaimne]

I cannot say whether or not that is a good thing or not.

And I have not, really. I do not understand a lot of what is being said. I have never been arrested nor faced prosecution before.

1/2

[miscreant]

Nor have I.

2/2

[miscreant]

Well, that is not entirely true, but I have never had my guilt put into question before. It is actually quite amusing.

And also impossibly infuriating, for how long it is taking them.

[hyanaimne]

Incredibly infuriating.

10 minutes later

[miscreant]

[She does not want to ask this of Charlie, knowing how he reacted to previous information about her nature. She does not want to ask this of Chloe, whom already seemed to be hiding something from her.

That leaves Tempest.]

Will you forward me information, if you receive it?

[hyanaimne]

Of course. As soon as I know something, I will pass it along.

[miscreant]

Then I will be twice in your debt. Lucky you.

[hyanaimne]

I am honored.

Though, I do have a question. The elf who you fought with - is your magic the same as his? I am admittedly not familiar with it.

[miscreant]

Koltira? Yes. He is my military superior. We are both Death Knights -- constructed purely on necromatic and shadow magic.

[She backspaced "is" and changed it to "was" about ten times before she finally sent that message.]

[hyanaimne]

Bloody hell.

[that's it, that's all she's got for that]

[miscreant]

Normally I would ask if there was something wrong with that, but it looks even sillier now that I have typed it out. Dark magic for dark purpose and all that.

1/2

[hyanaimne]

There is nothing wrong with that, per say. Except that you are a walking poison to me.

[hyanaimne]

That came out a bit wrong. Your magic is, not you in particular.

[miscreant]

[She might hear her laugh in the cell over with how her voice echos.]

I am walking poison to most breathing creatures, precious. My sole purpose in rebirth is to torture and slaughter the living after all.

[hyanaimne]

Yes, well, unfortunately my kind does not take kindly to dark magic. Limbs turn black and die, it is not pleasant.

[miscreant]

Ah, sounds like my resurrection all over again.

Pity, that.

[She finds herself almost genuinely disappointed. Tempest's company had been one of the better ones since her arrival -- but unlike many Death Knights, she relied on additional necromancy spells to stay upright.]
