#anywhere

"It's not a link, so breaking the statuettes wouldn't help. It would hurt them." She's murmuring her thoughts aloud, only partially for his benefit. "This also means somebody here has these arts at high level, to be able to trap them this way."

"Maybe more than one"

"I mean, not that I should be surprised."

"Not sure how long we can linger here" He looks around

She nods, and debates internally for a moment. "We can't take them. That would only alert them that we're onto them, and they'd just find another way to get the last Dreamers. If it weren't for that, I'd say you make a rath and we get them out of here that way."

A nod

"Let's go. We know where the auction is, and when, and for what. We'll have to come back later."

And they slip out...

(Dex plus Stealth! 😉 )

((Oof, not her strength))

((GEEZ))

and they slip away carefully

"We should find Leissele. Maybe they won't take her in front of witnesses."

"Let's hope"

"I just...don't have a clue how to get the others out."

"We'll figure it out" He squeezes her hand

She squeezes back.

"Look, not my say, but maybe risk getting them to the dreaming for a fix?"

"It's ddangerous, mortal minds in the dreaming but if anything would let me dream.." he stops "Ah baby? safe to say nobles are behind this right?"

She nods. "That's my read. What are you thinking?"

"Well, I wonder if they realize sidhe aren't the only ones with Soveriegn? And maybe that's the key?"

"I...I was thinking something along those lines, but...hon, I'm way outranked here, I think."

"Oh yeah, point... too bad we can't up your title" A sigh

A pause. "We could bluff it, but if they call the bluff, I'm screwed."

"mmm a point... and I'm not sure how much they will let slide when they've got numbers"
