It did, and I was there. I hit a bit of a rough patch but I'm fine, I promise. What about you? I saw what it did to Caer Scima, I know the destruction it caused. Are you safe? Your friends?
I... yes. I'm all right, but I'm going to a place where there may be refugees in need of something. If you've anything I can bring for wounds or broken bones, even just in case. And I'd like to see you if it's safe. I've a feeling things are going to be different.
I have a few things left over from the attack on Caer Glaem I can bring with me, and if you can take me to anyone that needs help I can use my magic. It won't be entirely safe but I want to help - and I want to see you, too. I know we're in different courts but I can't let that mean anything to me - it's not that simple. Not like they want it to be.
Between the two of us I'm sure we can handle anything that might happen, but I'd rather not run the risk just yet. I'll just meet you at the farmhouse before I go north again. It isn't simple like the monarchs think it, but it is simple for those who've made the choice for it to be so. It's for them to live with the consequences.

I know what you mean. Being prepared for something and actually facing it, or wanting to face it, are two very different things, and learning to deal with the reality of something isn't easy. I'll bring you a supply of potions, healing ones and some salves, and that should help you for a few months at least. As long as there are people like us to help then the rest of us won't have to suffer for other people's choices. Not as much, at least.
Yes. We'll need them even more than before, I imagine. I'll find the others. Let's take care of whom we can on both sides of this for now, and... meet again soon, when we're able to catch a breath.
I can apparate to the farm house and leave everything there for you, at least for now. It'd be safer, I think, for us to 'just miss' each other while tensions are still high. We can arrange a meeting through the rings, then, when it's a bit safer?
I'll wait for that and check the farmhouse in a few hours. Do you know Kelsi? She said she wanted to find a way to send me something, too, if you do, and I don't want her in danger either.
I know her - I'll ask her about it and see what I can do. If I give her some Floo Powder she could apparate to the farmhouse too. Maybe we can use it as a base and a drop off point for the future?
You too, Katsa. I don't want you to need to use those potions any time soon, okay?
As long as it stays undiscovered, let's continue using it.
Others will probably need the potions more than I do. If you need me to bring anything to you, too, just tell me. Any time, whatever it may be, or I'll positively lose my mind trying to think of things to do.

[ not with friends involved. ]
I'll keep them close.

[ It never has been, and learning that has been a hard lesson. ]
I have the rings, too, if you'd like them.

Take care of yourself.

Any ingredients you can find would be helpful, and if you find any books that are interesting or fun then I'm sure I wouldn't mind.
