if this were modern times byerly would probably make you listen to total eclipse of the heart before you were able to leave a message

He does now.

Or at the very least, he knows someone named Byerly Rutyer is Riftwatch's Ambassador. I've no idea if he would identify you as that person.

Not even Monsieur Bastien?

[If she notices, it hardly tells in how she sounds. Though the semantics do spur her next question:]

What of people outside of Riftwatch?

[personal profile] heirring 2022-07-06 02:08 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. That's precisely why I ask.

[Look at them—full of concessions and agreements and truth today. This too without seeming to bat an eyelash.]

All right, you have it.

[Not all that long ago, this particular information may have been met with little more than disbelief. What does she care who does or doesn't know her association with the arcane arts? Far more ridiculous that Byerly Rutyer could be an informant.

But working in close association with certain suspicious parties eventually inspires caution in even the most incautious people. And she has been spending a great deal of time with Richard Dickerson, and much as she might pretend otherwise Wysteria knows a thing or two about the man she's speaking with at present.

So, cue the aural equivalent of squinting and the bristling of hackles. Like how a small terrier might show its teeth—]


You're lying to me. No one asks to be told things they don't think are important.

Wouldn't it? Put me in danger.
heirring: ([057])

[personal profile] heirring 2022-07-22 05:44 pm (UTC)(link)
But isn't that precisely why it would put me in danger? Because I would just be thought of as any mage and treated so, despite the fact that I'm most certainly not one. Not in the sense that you would think of it, in any case. Everyone is always clanging on about how dreadful that would be.

[Technically, no one can even prove she's a Rifter anymore—]

[Squint.]

How exactly do you mean to describe me?
heirring: ([099])

[personal profile] heirring 2022-07-22 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not the point. I want to know what you're imagining you'll tell— whoever it is you tell exactly. You don't speak with Queen Anora directly, do you?

[How do spies work. Surely there's some sort of complicated string of contacts like in the clever little books she sometimes reads.]
heirring: ([018])

[personal profile] heirring 2022-07-31 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
No, that's not the point. Not of what I'm asking. [Semantics, quite insistent.]

I'm asking how you would describe me to whoever it is you would be required to describe me to. I want to know.

[Lawyers, schmoyers. He isn't answering the question.]
heirring: ([040])

[personal profile] heirring 2022-07-31 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
You've already— [is the sound of bristling surprise, the way a stubborn little creature might balk at finding itself in a headstall.]

Very well. Read your notes to me.
