"My people still workin' on it. I mean, 'less you suddenly got some kinda expertise in Dream tech I ain' heard 'bout...?"

shadylady 9:51pm

A chuff of amusement. "No."

shadylady 9:53pm

"Do you have an ETA for the info?"

robinrahne 9:54pm

"Then stay there an' outta th' way of th' experts. But here be th' thing...this trod-stuff, it be like Thallain-bane. They jus' shrivel up when they touch it!"

robinrahne 9:54pm

"Well, I c'n give you that li'l tidbit now. We still researchin'."

shadylady 9:55pm

"Did you say the Golden trod shard you have is Thallain-bane?"

robinrahne 9:55pm

"Ain' sure if we c'n preserve it, though. Workin' on it."

shadylady 9:55pm

"It needs preservation?"

shadylady 9:55pm

Jess genuinely seems a beat behind things.

robinrahne 9:57pm

"Looks like! An' yeah, it like to fade if we can't get some...." She pauses, trying to translate. "B, it kinda like forgin' metal. Gotta make sure it tempered right so it don' jus' fall 'part, get it?"

shadylady 9:58pm

"Probably not but that sounds like it could make sense."

robinrahne 9:58pm

"If my peeps c'n get that figger'd out, then we figger if there some way we can extend how much we got, like alloying it with other stuff...well, then, shit, we c'n make some kick ass gear."

shadylady 10:00pm

"Ok.... ok. What do you need on this?"

robinrahne 10:03pm

A pause. "Lemme get back to you, B. Wanna check with where we at currently. Listen, one other thing...my folks got confirmed sightings of centaurs, not chimera neither. You hearin' shit like that?"

shadylady 10:04pm

"I saw one myself, yes."

shadylady 10:04pm

"For now, can I send you relief for your area's patrols and other tasks so all your people can focus?"

robinrahne 10:07pm

A brief snicker. "Believe it or not, that be my first thought. Din't wanna tip my hand we might could use the help that way, but I should know better than to pre-empt a troll about defense."

shadylady 10:11pm

"I'll make it happen. Phobos or Demos will bring them."

robinrahne 10:14pm

"Right. Listen, I saw some of what happen out there, B, before my drones had to go kamikaze. You kicked some serious ass."

shadylady 10:15pm

Another chuff. "Thank you. But we couldn't have done it without your people."

robinrahne 10:16pm

"Damn right. Aight, I get you more info when I get it." And without further ado, she hangs up.

shadylady 10:18pm

Jessica wearily hangs up and pockets the phone.

shadylady 10:19pm

She blinks and it filters through that she should go see the Balefire, so she starts in that direction.

shadylady 10:24pm

Arriving, she sinks to sit on the hearthstones. "Hey." softly "We won."

earldebuke 10:29pm

And a warmth of fire and welcome... welcome news indeed
