[ the furbies have set one another off i see ]

Ah.

[ It takes some time before Set is able to return to Ruby's mind and alight upon it. He carries with him the innate cool, crisp atmosphere of Zenith's night air, the faint scent of the Lady upon him — soothing Meridian's energetic poison, as if he's taken a dose of medicine to ward off the fever. With her, it is easy to follow the thread of her attentiveness back, as if slithering out of the labyrinth and into her cool embrace. ]

— we are uninjured, Ruby. Liem and I found something we sought, and. It was a lot to observe. I had so many questions and thoughts, all at once.

[ And like the desert sands, he had scattered to the vast corners of those he felt the greatest connection with, carried to them. ]

[ Ruby settles easily at his reassurance, cradling his presence against her in a gentle hold. ]

I see.

[ it isn't that she lacks interest in the details – her attention circles him like a cat winding around his ankles, but she does not dare elevate her curiosity into anything purposeful. Set knows, already, that she has been utterly robbed of her voice. this is a situation where she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to. she must not express a desire to know more, she must not be so impertinent. she mustn't ever ask questions. ]

I'm glad you're both safe... and I'm happy you found what you were looking for. [ no matter what that may actually be. if it's good for Set, then it's good for her. ] Do you need anything? I was going to head back to the Matrona's manor soon, but I'm still at the shrine now.
