Eirwen watched the strange display of the spirit wisp with little reaction, despite the natural curiosity swiftly building within him. That was one thing his seed could never quite choke down. [color=8493ca]"A wise decision,"[/color] he remarked in response to Melisande sending a simulacrum in her stead. [color=8493ca]"Given my position, however, I must investigate in person. Should something go awry, I trust you shall inform the necessary parties."[/color] Responsibility was a suitable excuse for fulfilling his everburning curiosity.

The portal itself was nothing special, he noted with mild disappointment. Even so, its source was quite bold to place one in the private chambers of a court apprentice. Depending on the reasoning behind it, he might have to dole out a punishment.

He followed up behind the simulacrum silently. Had he more than a moment to ponder, he might admire how flawlessly accurate it imitated Melisande, but he had larger issues to contend with at the moment. So, instead, he regarded that stranger with his usual calm and collected eye as he waited for an introduction.
