[pfsb] investigations and explorations
Two days after Moiraine brought Wei Wuxian's talismans back to Twin Peaks, after she has taken the time necessary to review all of her notes as well as the histories she has been collecting, she calls Dale Cooper, who is still in Olympia, now, rather than Seattle.
All things considered, the conversation could have gone much, much worse.
She is well aware that they are going to have a much longer discussion after he returns in a few weeks, but he had agreed not to ask her to wait. She, in turn, had agreed, as before, not to go to Glastonbury Grove alone, or at night. She also agrees not to approach the pool closer than necessary to place the talismans, or to test it with her own weaving - not at present, anyway.
Hawk had been her next call.
A few days later, after he has had time to consider and to consult with the Bookhouse Boys, Hawk knocks on her apartment door and agrees to her request.

When Moiraine returns to Milliways, she leaves a sealed note with Bar, addressed to Wei Wuxian.
Master Wei--
I made the trial of your talismans according to your instructions. When I activated the one at the northernmost point, glowing red energy swept inward from the circle in a wave focused on the pool at its center.
The pool absorbed it all. It vanished into the depths without a ripple, and without a trace.
Nothing else has happened. Yet.
--Moiraine Sedai
That task completed, she settles at her preferred table with tea and begins sketching something in a notebook.

Moiraine seems amused by that thought.
"Although those who are fond of the coffee there might claim it to be distinctive beyond the usual."
She curves her fingers around her teacup, as if to protect it.
"Even necromancy is not peculiar to that world alone, after all."

“I’ve found that necromancy exists many places,” she says carefully. “It exists in some form or other, for good and ill, in all three of the worlds I’ve been a part of.”

"There is sometimes a difference between what is evil and what is forbidden," she observes.

Ingress is a brave young woman. Tom would have given a much different response.
no subject
"It is not always so. In the world where I was born, such things are the province of the Dark One, the Lord of the Grave, who sought to destroy the Wheel of Time and creation itself. But unless it is true evil, I will grant that there are sometimes differences between worlds."

"Lady Ninth; Harrow. I take it that you know her?"

"Although the source of her power is different from mine, she reminds me in some ways of certain Aes Sedai that I have known. We have had a number of interesting conversations, even working together on certain matters."
no subject
“And now both she and Wei Wuxian, that’s another of my new friends, have been to the Underside with me. I love how everyone knows everyone else here.”
no subject
"I am not especially surprised to hear that Tom has made her acquaintance, considering. You are certainly correct that the nature of this place can lead to easily meeting others and coming to know them well."
She taps the tip of her index finger lightly against her teacup.
"I have met Wei Wuxian, as it happens, but I confess that I do not know him well, yet, although we have discussed certain solutions to what some might describe as magical problems. He is a friend of yours, then?"
no subject
“Yes. I met him and it was like we’d known each other forever.”
The alcohol may have helped with this, but still.
no subject
"He is very loyal to his friends, I understand. And if you are particularly close...."

"I am curious, if you would not mind. Has Megwyn come with you recently? I seem to recall it can be difficult to be unable to reach her for too long."
no subject
She bites her lower lip. “It’s, ugh, I shouldn’t even think this, much less say it. It’s kind of fun, being on my own.”
no subject
"Even two who are closely bonded can benefit from the space of their own minds and hearts, at times."

If Megwyn has not been here with Ingress, then the Companion will have had no opportunity yet to make her own assessment of matters. She will wait, and see.

ooc: I think this can be a stopping place actually?
