[Hello, Kaveh, there's a cat on your shellphone!]

Mr. Kaveh! Please, I must speak with you, it's urgent!

[Her fussy little mom voice does sound a bit more anxiety-ridden than usual...]

[empyrean_mirror]

Miss Tara? What's wrong, what's happened?

[Well, this isn't a call he expected to get, but Tara has always been very straightforward, so he must assume it's important.

...how did she use the shellphone though.]

[netherese]

[She has mastered voice commands, don't worry about it! It would be more troublesome if she was texting.]

Mr. Dekarios— the Paladins have arrested him! I've alerted Miss Cliffgate, as well, but he's done nothing to deserve such unjust treatment!

[She is, in fact, rather out of sorts about this.]

[empyrean_mirror]

...Another one.

[Kaveh exhales sharply, and then inhales.] Miss Tara, listen to me. Was Gale involved in investigating the poachers the other month?

[netherese]

[Her wings flutter as she keeps herself afloat in front of him, her nose giving a slight twitch as she considers.]

He had expressed an interest and was doing what he could without venturing out too far, yes— he certainly wished to do more.

[She sounds even more troubled as she thinks aloud.]

My fine fellow has not been himself as of late, though he has been stubborn about letting on.

[empyrean_mirror]

Miss Tara, I need to ask you plainly--are you somewhere safe? Gale won't forgive himself if something happens to you while this gets sorted out.

I suspect that these Paladins are not acting in the interests of the people in this world nor even the good of their Armada.

[netherese]

Oh, you're very kind to ask, dear.

[She finally touches down in front of the shellphone, flexing her wings.]

I'm at home with Miss Cliffgate at present, though I don't know how much longer she'll remain. Still, our home is quite safe.
