[Somnus's username is kind of opaque, but Rinea saved it the last time she saw they spoke nevertheless. And thank goodness she did, for she knows little of where Somnus spends his time.

Rinea has learned how to text like a modern gal over her time in Avalon, but... Somnus seems the kind of person to take to letters just as well, so she indulges.]


Camelot, Avalon
November


Dearest Sir,

I hope the season's change is treating you kindly. I must apologize for the long spell of quiet between us, but I pen this correspondence with good news and intention.
I have completed the potion you requested; I am also now ready to craft the dowsing item we last discussed.

Please come to the address enclosed to receive them at your earliest convenience. I have prepared to perform the alchemy there, so I request that you bring the substance intended to bond with the dowsing rod.

Thank you very much. May you be well.
Warmly,
Rinea of Rigel

[The wayward texts were a little frightening (is he okay?!), but mostly.... kind of... REALLY funny??? And so relatable; she knows the struggle. Rinea allows herself to giggle at it after she receives the real letter and the meaning becomes clear.

She's waiting for him at the door when he arrives. The address lead him to the home she shares with Chris-- and to its large alchemy shed in the yard.]


I am so glad to see you! [Rather than her usual gowns Rinea is dressed in pants and boots, and her hair is gathered fully into a crown braid. Best not to have loose ends that get caught in things when running experiments and all that!] Thank you for coming all this way. I hope we will not keep you for too long.

[She leads him to the shed as they speak, opening it to reveal her workspace. The potion brewing tools and cauldrons are on one side, the alchemy ingredients on shelves at the other. A case of finished potions sits waiting just inside the door, but most interestingly is the dowsing tool placed in the center of a chalk-drawn alchemic circle on the large table at the far end of the room.]

Please take a look, if you like. [She gestures to the tool. Unalchemized, it isn't much-- it defaults to seeking water.] I believe a cognitive mage will be able to get the most use out of it, but I have tested another and managed just as well.

[He trusts her work?... Something about that makes Rinea's cheeks pink with pride. Has she ever received that sort of sentiment before? It feels.... new.]

Nothing, except to fuse the blood sample. [Rinea gestures to an open section of the alchemic circle. She could insert it into the circle herself, but she may as well see Somnus's insistence on keeping the blood sample to himself to the end.] If you are ready, pour it out here and I can finish the encryption.

[Once he does so Rinea steps forward to the table to perform the alchemy. The completed circle comes alight, glowing brightly; the blood and dirt siphons itself from the circle and disappears into the tool with a rush of wind. With the fusion completed the light dims again, everything going still.

She sighs, letting out a breath she didn't know she was holding.]


There you are.

Oh... [Rinea brings a hand to her cheek, embarrassed. Still, she looks pleased.] Mayhaps you should save that praise for after you use it!

[She remembers herself, though, and her hand drops to clasp nervously with the other.]

Sir Somnus. [Um...] You told me that you would repay me with a favor. Does that still hold true?

[Ok, here goes. Rinea draws herself up, expression both steeled and anxious.]

You requested I not pry into your affairs, so I shan't. But still... [Still... she cannot do nothing. If Somnus simply disappeared after all of this, what if no one noticed? What if she never saw him again and could only wonder?]

If there is a moment where you need help... or a timeframe after which, if I do not hear from you, I should worry... will you tell me? May I ask for that much?

Yes. I know.

[Rinea looks solemn, cowed by understanding what she is asking for. Something about the act of it is nerve-wracking. Not necessarily because she fears Somnus, or whatever danger may lurk in his shadow... but just because bringing voice to her own desire is terrifying.

Then she is being... patted?

It's a subtle, opaque gesture of affection, but it's enough to surprise Rinea out of her nerves. She looks at Somnus, eyes wide...

...then a tiny smile curves at her lips.]


...May you walk always in the light of the gods' blessing.
