The departure of the Chihuelans could be called a relief, the tension seemed gone from the city and the Kedan seemed more accepting than ever of the Foreigners. Though her teaching hadn't been utilized, she was certain that they hadn't seen the last of the Chihuelans and that the Justicar and her forces would be back someday, but for now she was thankful for the rest. Now they could focus on the other problems plaguing Keeliai, such as the cultists and the sinking of Tu Vishan.

If wishes had any chance of coming true, he could think of a fair number of things he'd rather be affecting than his perceived state, but that line of thought was a gravity well that too easily pulled people in.

"Regardless, you asked about the Shadow Realm and got an earful. Not what you were expecting?"

[redlightgreenlight]

"No," she admitted, "But then again, I never know what to expect when it comes to you."

And to be perfectly honest, she still had more questions than answers, but she had probably pried enough for one day and she had plenty to think about for now.

"Some days m, that makes two of us," Bakura answered, tired in a way that had nothing to so with lack of sleep. He hadn't expected to tell Valdis anything like this; he was simply playing a hunch.

She didn't know what exactly had prompted him to give her so much ammunition. Perhaps he believed that she wouldn't use it and perhaps he was right, but she was still surprised and it sounded as if he was a bit surprised by it too.

"Thank you," she said, noting how tired he had become. Memories such as those he must have been reliving did that to you. "I'll be on my way."

She moved to stand, wondering just how quickly Raine would be able to speak with her.

An eyebrow raised; thanking him, for learning such things? Strange.

He reopened the folded letter and picked up the pencil again. What he'd been doing wasn't pressing, but he could do with the distraction.

"I'll tell you what I told Raine, khapshemet. Don't go poking around things with Zorc, or you might not like what you find. The whole of Keeliai might not like it. Understand?"

[redlightgreenlight]

"I understand."

If Raine knew about Zorc, then that made speaking with the woman all the more essential. Valdis walked the short distance to the door, meaning to leave when another thought entered her mind.

She paused and almost turned back to tell Bakura, but decided against it, she would consult with Raine first and move forward from there. So she continued out the door, leaving him to his papers.
