With Vanyel holding onto her mane, both of them delicately step through. 

Permalink

He goes with them.

There are a lot of people standing and watching, or running across the field toward the circle of MAGIC that has just appeared in front of the Heralds' temple! 

Savil takes a step forward. "Van - gods, ke'chara..." 

Permalink

"Savil, it's all right - I'm all right–" Vanyel staggers a little as he comes through, then takes a few steps toward her. "I'm sorry it took so long to get back." 

Permalink

"Hey, it's fine, you're here now." Savil looks at him for another few seconds, without moving, and then crosses over to him in three strides and pulls him into her arms.

The Gate closes behind them. He tries to stand still and look nonthreatening while they do their reunions.

Savil hugs Vanyel for about a minute and then releases him. "Welcome to Haven," she says to Fazil, nodding to him. "Glad it went more er, smoothly this time. I'm Herald-Mage Savil. Vanyel's aunt." 

Permalink

"Nice to meet you. This time we threw a lot more at it. I'm terribly sorry that we got into so much trouble yesterday; I know you were eagerly awaiting Van."

Permalink

"I know it wasn't your fault. Though we are going to want to know a lot more details." She gestures for him to follow her. "Come on, let's get inside out of the cold." It appears to also be early spring in Valdemar; the snow is mostly gone, still lingering in patches, and the air is brisk.

Vanyel follows as well. With some trepidation. 

Permalink

:It'll be all right, Chosen: 

Permalink

He will follow. "I know there is a lot of political stuff to cover but I'd feel really silly to mention it in three hours and learn there was something I could have been doing - I can do miraculous healing of injuries and illnesses, if there is anyone who will not still be around tonight and so should get it now."

Permalink

"Oh! Will it tire you out? I'll Mindspeak someone at Healers' and find out if they've got anyone in really bad shape." 

Permalink

"It will not particularly tire me."

Permalink

"All right." She goes quiet, her expression flattening a bit. "They don't currently have anyone they expect not to last until tonight, but they've got some pretty sick patients where it might be better not to take the chance if it's not an undue burden for you. We can detour that way?" 

Permalink

They swing by the House of Healing and a plump brown-haired woman in green robes greets Fazil, introduces herself as Gemma, and points him to a couple of patient rooms - there's a little girl with a bad infection in her leg from a festering cut, she's feverish and delirious from it, and a middle-aged man with pneumonia. 

Permalink

Infections you have to do Remove Disease about but pneumonia you can usually get away with Lesser Restoration which he has a lot more of. If the man does not seem to be improving he can try something more powerful later.

The cut he can just wave his hand at and it'll seal up entirely.

Permalink

Gemma watches with her Healing-Sight, fascinating, and says that she thinks it helped with the man, who's not in critical condition anyway. She thanks him warmly. Says she would appreciate it a lot if he swung by again tonight. 

Permalink

"Is now a good time to meet and, er, discuss events on your end?" 

Permalink

"Yes, absolutely."

Permalink

Then they can head into the Palace, and Fazil can meet the King. 

(The Senior Circle spent some time going back and forth on whether that's a good idea, and settled on it being worth it anyway. They mostly trust what the archon said, and don't expect the cleric of a Lawful god to hurt anyone, and also Yfandes trusts him, and is catching up Kellan and the other Companions whose Heralds are read in on the situation. They're really feeling the lack of a Groveborn right now.) 

Savil still casts a first-level Truth Spell on him just outside the doors to the core meeting wing. "I'm sorry, this is just a formality, but - can you confirm that you intend no harm and will obey our laws and act peacefully while here." 

Permalink

"Absolutely, we have the same policy. I swear that I intend no one here any harm and will obey your laws and act peacefully while I'm here."

Permalink

"Thank you." She smiles, nods, and then go in.
