There are several rifters with them -- so they should be able to open one on the other side.

[He sighed quietly.] I am ... concerned, though. About their safety. I have been praying for their return. I am also praying for yours.

[chainlightning]

So am I. [ For those in the Fade, that is. Or she will be, now that she knows about it. ]

Thank you, James. I'll do my best to come back, and to bring everyone back with me. I'll try and call you again when we get to the fortress, too.

[judgemewhole]

They shall need all the prayers they can get. [From all the gods, the Maker, all of them.]

Please do. I will be very displeased if you die, Merrill.

[chainlightning]

And the same to you, James -- I'll be displeased if you die, too.

[ Which reminds her- ]

How was the dragon?

[judgemewhole]

... a very educational experience.

[His lips twitch.]

One that I am happy I survived, thank you for your excellent advice.

[chainlightning]

You're very welcome! I'm glad it was helpful.

[ it was even more than "don't get eaten" which is A+ ]

[judgemewhole]

In fact, when you come home. [When, not if. When.] I have a surprise for you.

[chainlightning]

A surprise? [ She can get behind this optimism. ] James, you didn't have to do that- I was happy to help!

[judgemewhole]

Nevertheless, I have something for you. [You can almost hear the smile in his voice there, Merrill.]

[chainlightning]

Do I get any hints? [ this is going to drive her nuts thank you james ]

[judgemewhole]

Yes. It comes from a dragon. [And that's all she gets.]

[chainlightning]

Jaaames!

[judgemewhole]

My lips are sealed. You'll have to return to find out.

[chainlightning]

Well- okay. But I'll return either way, you know!

[judgemewhole]

Yes, but I like giving incentives.

[chainlightning]

Well, then remember that if you don't take care of yourself, I won't have an incentive to come back. Okay?

[judgemewhole]

Okay. I will take care of myself, I promise.

[chainlightning]

And so will I.

I should get some sleep; I have no idea what will be at the fortress in the morning.

[judgemewhole]

Maker, I hadn't realized it was so late ... yes, please, excuse me. Go get some sleep. Good night, Merrill.

[chainlightning]

[ With a slight laugh: ] Normally, I wouldn't mind.

Good night, James.
