closed starter for talia carys @faedusted
From the moment Sibili had entered into the summit she'd been looking for a moment to slip away from the crowds and prying eyes. The high lady of autumn had spotted Talia across the room more times than she could count, and though the physical evidence of her friend's safety loosened the fingers of the fist around her heart...she wouldn't be satisfied until she heard confirmation of Talia's well-being from her own lips. Unfortunately it would have been far too suspicious to instantly disappear, so she'd had to wait- to practice a patience she'd never excelled at until the rest of the revelers were deep enough in their cups and conversations to barely notice the absence of a high lady and high priestess.
Her patience was spent while she waited in one of the countless rooms of the day palace, holding her breath as the door finally opened. Greeted by the sight of Talia, a rush of affection flooded her senses, and in the blink of an eye she'd gone to embrace the priestess before giving her a thorough examination to confirm she was in good health. A flick of the high lady's wrist and the room was sufficiently warded enough to ensure they'd suffer no eavesdroppers. "I'm so glad to see you. The letters are wonderful but they're always too short- and always have too little about yourself." After all, a spy couldn't risk much other than the bare and essential details. "Have you been alright?"
