Isn't Leathann beautiful? I wish you could have seen it when it was vibrant and filled with people. Hopefully, we'll be able to figure out a way to fight back and save it, but until then...
[ Well. She knows where he's probably been staying and she doesn't need to know about that. ]
It seemed like it started with us, yes. It seemed to spread very quickly, though. I hope you didn't get too ill?
Kirei's mildly uncomfortable with the way she speaks up so easily in support of saving Leathann. Does his influence truly travel this far? No, that isn't right. Hermione must have made this decision on her own.
But why?
If she is a leader among the Seelie, doesn't she empower the Void's path?]
Likely it transferred through contact. I did catch it eventually [thanks for that, gil], but I was cured within days. It's more important that you didn't suffer long.
Hermione is hyper aware of certain things when it comes to Gilgamesh. She knows where he lives and, at times, what he's been doing. It's not that she keeps an eye on him, particularly, she just wants to make sure he's behaving himself.
That's just how it goes. ]
I was cured after a week or so. If it had gone on any longer I'd have been a statue, so I was lucky. [ Lucky that Gilgamesh found her or lucky that she didn't get cursed again? Both. ] I hope you didn't suffer too much all the same.
Mm. God looks out for those who do good. Should it reappear, I have healing magic that removes and repels the silver temporarily.
[He didn't suffer much. In fact he thinks his suffering must have been minimal compared to hers, if it was nearly a full week. So he doesn't bother to elaborate.]
From the book I was given, it's anything with a flat surface so you can use the video function. A book wouldn't work, for example, but a mirror or a compass with something inside would.
[ She hums, considering. ]
They work mostly the same, only that some alternate devices have their own private networks and some can be used alongside the lockets to access the main Drabwurld one.
[That should be allowable. She gave him a handful of gold pieces for completing his mission, didn't she, and he hasn't cashed in all that many of them. He's thrifty.
Still, there's a dilemma.
Shouldn't he give her two, instead of one, even if he's constantly requiring more money? It doesn't feel right to accept a favor from Hermione this early. But it's true he does need every advantage he can gain at this point in the game...
If he agrees to this, he will have to owe her one gold piece later.
Maybe he should just stop being awkwardly silent and talk, though.]
... If you would, I would be grateful. I am in your debt again.
Oh, no, it's not a debt. You helped me, so I'll help you.
[ She means it, too. He might not be able to see it, but she's content and happy, already preparing to go about her business to make sure he has one. ]

Mr Kotomine! I'm fine, thank you very much. How are you? Are you safe?

[Not that he told her he was down there healing people in chapels, or anything, but-- yes.]
It's a relief to hear that you're healthy. An acquaintance mentioned those high in rank and influence were being especially targeted by the curse.

How are the villages?
no subject
[ But, oh, he's concerned. She softens a little and settles in her chair, comfortable and at ease. ]
They're doing well! There haven't been any reports of more damage and they've stored the antidotes you gave them.
no subject
Excellent.
[And, well. It might come a little out of left field. Still,]
... Miss Granger. Is it true there are other devices for communication aside from the lockets in this world?
no subject
[ She doesn't blink at the question; she's well aware of the semi-fame of the compasses now. ]
There are. People can create them and they can be used as personal communicators, aside from our lockets.
no subject
Can anything serve as such a communicator? How are they different from the lockets?
no subject
[ She hums, considering. ]
They work mostly the same, only that some alternate devices have their own private networks and some can be used alongside the lockets to access the main Drabwurld one.
no subject
So that means they may communicate with everyone, including the Unseelie.
no subject
That's right. I keep an eye on my compasses, of course, to make sure no secrets are going awry.

I'm happy to make them. It's fun.

I am glad it's not much of a burden for you. How would the cross be taken care of? Must I come to the Citadel?
no subject
Oh, I can come to you! Just let me know where you're staying.
no subject
Leathann, as I said. I room in the mansion of a Miss Flora. Do you know of her? I believe she ranks highly on the Seelie side.
[So, yes, Hermione's suspicions of where he's staying have probably just been confirmed.]
no subject
I do, yes, she's a good friend of mine and I've been to her house a few times before. I can pop over any time you're free, if you'd like?
[ Ignoring the elephant in the room... ]
no subject
In an hour or two should be fine. I won't take up much of your day.
