If I talk to him anytime soon, I'll have to ask him.

I think...our focus needs to be on keeping it hidden. We don't know what sort of detection magic and other strengths our enemies have and even if they aren't expecting it, we shouldn't give them a reason to even think about it.

A demonstration would be pretty sweet. I've got some time to spare over the next couple of days. When are you free?

Indeed, tipping our hand would defeat the purpose of such a system.

Truly, as long as Alice does not need me to mind the children, I can see you at any time. Only my art occupies me otherwise.

[zerotohiro]

Oh. You know Alice. [It's an idle comment, though it just kind of helps him slot pieces together and figure out where Nerdanel really sits inside the court and who she knows among his own friends and other acquaintances.] Okay, awesome! Um...[There's the sound of him rustling through some papers.] I can probably figure something out for one of the afternoons? Like tomorrow or the next day, maybe.

[Time management is still something he's learning, but he's trying. He's also still learning how to say "no", but that's a much, much slower lesson apparently.]

[sculptor_of_aman]

There is no rush beyond how urgent the leaders think the need for it is. Tell me where to meet you.

[zerotohiro]

Call me an hour before you'd like to meet and I can meet you at Caer Scima. It's usually where I'm at but sometimes I'm out doing other stuff. The castle's probably for the best though.

[sculptor_of_aman]

Of course. I do not mind the castle. My commission is there. It will be good to see my family again.

[zerotohiro]

Wait, your family's at the castle? [Somehow he's lost the thread of conversation, but that's something of note.]

[sculptor_of_aman]

...in a manner of speaking. You have seen the art there? Of the fallen Unseelie? My husband and three eldest are among those depicted. Their faces will appear when I am near them. The art itself was made using a great deal of my abilities. Perhaps they will serve as inspiration.

[zerotohiro]

I think so. [Truthfully, he's only been back at the castle for just under two months and he spends most of his time outside working on things or in his room.] That sounds kinda cool though...I'll have to give it a second look.

Come by the castle when you're ready. I'll make time. Promise.
