Connections to someone important.

@Melodious

The one I’m not allowed to know about, I presume.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

As far as I'm aware. If it has anything else of value, I'd be shocked, since it was left abandoned, unguarded and untouched, and it's a place people knew existed.

@Melodious

Why were both of those opponents hunting you, then?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Because I know nothing. I'm not sure if the stuff I'm looking for is of interest to anyone who's a veteran of the trade.

@Melodious

Hm, so this houses basic information?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

They almost definitely weren't here for that. And even if they were, I'm sure it isn't a big deal.

@Melodious

It was sufficient to bring you here, no?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Squints in mild confusion*
... Sure.

@Melodious

In any case, I’m not convinced our opponents won’t return to collect that knowledge.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

How selfless. Are you always like this?

@Melodious

Unfortunately not. But for our purposes today, we can assume that will persist.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

You say that. The risk was there all the same.

@Melodious

Accurate. But risks to myself are substantially less critical than risks to Akora.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Says the guy who came down here literally alone.

@Melodious

Different circumstances.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

Good thing she did bring a buddy then.

@Melodious

*Traces the obsidian wall as we make our way back*
These missions are far too dangerous to approach alone.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Stands for a moment longer, pondering, before strolling behind with my hands in my pockets*
Awake… I guess they got a good piece of her? Leaving protection magic makes more sense then.

@Melodious

Fortunately, had anything occurred, our conversation would have been cut short.
