I mean, dwarrow magic? -― +―Of a sort, yes. + Anyway, I'm here to ask if you would be willing to stop going back and forth through the door. + I did a bit of a sloppy job throwing it together, and I don't want to risk any damage to space. + If you want out, just hang tight and we'll get Chief to take you on a tour or something. + Or just let your leaders know. + There's an attendant hanging out with them who can take you wherever you'd like. + +―Sorry, I didn't mean to cause any trouble for you, I was just exploring. + +―No problem, honestly I just didn't want Kab finding out how sloppy I was setting the guest area up. + Was napping, and I was still pretty tired. + Not a good state to create a loop in. + So if you don't mind, don't tell Kab or Chief about that, please? + +She gave Kral a hopeful smile here. +When he nodded back, she seemed to relax. + +―Sweet, thanks. + What was your name, by the way? + I'm Omig. + +Kral snapped to attention. +―Sergeant Kralvin of the Galvarelli Presidential Guard. + +―Good to meet you, Kral. + Anyway, I'm off. + Let me know if you need anything else. + +Kral felt an odd pulling sensation. +The Meadowlark seemed to be willing him onwards, pointing out an opportunity. + +―Actually, if you don't mind, I did have one question. + I was trying to talk more with the guard at the entrance, but he didn't seem to speak the Open Tongue much. + +―Yeah, that's Jod. Not big on languages. + +―So, we're here because of issues with the Hierarchy. + We wanted to ask Mountberg for help. + Do you know what your leader would say about that? + +―Well, Mountberg haven't been very responsive lately. + Probably something Chief should be here to talk about. + But to be honest, Chief would be asking me to send them a message anyway. + Want me to just go ahead and send them a quick request for an audience? + +―Yes, if you'd like. + And if it wouldn't get you in trouble. + I figure hopefully Chief wouldn't mind you saving him the trouble. + +Omig nodded. + +―I like you, Sergeant Kralvin of the Galvarelli Presidential Guard. + If you weren't twenty feet tall... + And remember, try not to go to the door at the end of the hall too much. + +Omig left through the door in Kral's room. +Kral waited a moment, and poked his head out the door. +It was the same corridor that he would have originally expected.
