The new Basswood Commander, Celaunn, stands watch outside of the building with one ready hand resting on the hilt of her sword while her protectorate goes inside. A prodigy of magic as she is, liberating all the Foreigners' souls right out from under Malicant has left Evastelei far more expended than any of them care to admit. She looks as tired and worn as Evandau sounded on the radio post, but she tries to cover it with good humour, much as can be mustered given the situation. Eva's sent out messages to the ones whose essence she's felt resonate for each address and upon arriving, carries the lanterns into the new units whether they're all present or not... she's a busy lady and when this is all done she might just sleep for a week.
"Couldn't rightly explain some of these set-downs," Eva says as she goes about hanging the lamps up in the central part of the house. For most of the units, this equates to the main living area, though sometimes in the kitchen or unfinished room -- the layouts on each building has variations, after all. "One of those things you just have to feel, I reckon. Never figured Evandau much for leaving new bottles of wine on the pillows after all, so this will have to do."
While she's in the buildings, she'll run her hands over the wards built into the walls, letting them light briefly with various colours of light depending on the purpose, a symbol-based language not unlike runic illuminating at her touch and then fading to invisibility again.
"Now for these," she'll continue once she's sure she has all their attentions. "These are the best I could do on short notice, what with the Creature throwing all his resource at breaking Eshai's spells. That's why none of you could get into the Throne Room few weeks back-- that was a right bold move on your parts, by the way. See if you can't talk tall and smileless up there," she jerks her head toward the front of the building to indicate Celaunn, "into learning something from it. Chilu's are too by the book."
She'll explain how the lanterns are strengthened by proximity of those whose soul they house, and the dangers of staying away from them (particularly in a Dreaming state) for too long. "You don't want the Creature coming to rip you out of here," she says, jabbing them in the chest for emphasis, a deep frown distorting the burned scar on the one side of her face. "Be something like putting your insides through a wind shearer. Don't recommend it, that's for certain. Are you paying attention? Don't be moving these anywhere. With the power of these, I can understand why Eshai wanted to keep them close but keeping them from you... well, it wasn't the only thing she and I disagreed on."
Once she's satisfied that they've got as much information as she can provide at this time, she'll remind them as Evandau did: these lanterns are their Keeliai anchors and should they be destroyed, it won't be a trip back to their worlds that they can look forward to. "Without these, I can't keep you from being lost for good," she'll add seriously. "Good luck with them."

no subject
You know for him that's fairly low-key.
no subject
[That said, she shuts the door behind her and leans against it, standing silent for a moment before looking to Hawke.]
There isn't much I need to tell you, but it's critical that it stays between you and I no matter how this conversation goes.
no subject
Secrets I can keep believe me.
[He'll spare her the aggravation of dealing with his buffoonery for the moment.]
no subject
I'm going to be gone more often than not this next month or so. It could be more, it could be less. I don't know yet.
no subject
Do I get to know or does that require cloak and dagger phrasing?
[Despite the jest it's a serious question. Maybe he can help her if he knows more of what's going on.]
no subject
[It's nothing personal. It's just that Nilin isn't the only one on the job and she'd rather not put them at risk.]
Just know that I might be gone for long periods of time and it's vital that you don't try to find me. It's important, what I'm doing.
no subject
Seems like things are getting very hush hush these days. Makes it hard for a man to rush in and help someone when they're in trouble.
[That's just Hawke's way of saying be careful.]
no subject
[Pushing off the door, Nilin walks to him and rests a hand lightly on his arm.]
I'll be fine. What I need you to do is not come looking for me or draw attention to my vacancy. That would... complicate things quite a lot.
no subject
[His eyes meet hers. Then he briefly rests his hand over hers and squeezes it before letting go.]
You know me. I like to keep things as simple as possible. Makes me feel less stupid that way.
no subject
If there's risk of shouting and fire, I'll be sure to give you a heads up. Until then, silence is all I can ask for.
no subject
That's good. I'd hate to miss all the fun.
[Despite his smirk, Hawke doesn't like this. He always prefers to be there watching his friends' backs. Sitting on the sidelines while they risk their lives bothers him.]
Suppose that's all I can do then.
[She made up her mind so the least he can do is respect that.]
