 [10:35] AA: Merrow, still walking slowly and with a limp, makes eye contact with Mahtah and motions her over.

 [10:37] CC: Mahtah immediately rushes to Merrow's side, offering her shoulder to help him steady himself. "Merrow! Sir, I am thankful you are unharmed!"

 [10:37] AA: "For now, at any rate" Merrow's voice is squeaky and pained.

 [10:41] CC: Her brow furrows in worry as she carefully hooks her arm around the highblood's back and lifts him up onto her shoulder. "Sir, you are injured. We should find a place to administer first aid."

 [10:41] AA: "In a moment. Right now I have to inform you of a situation. This is of utmost secrecy, Mahtah."

 [10:42] AA: Merrow looks around to make sure that no one's looking or listening in, then continues.

 [10:43] CC: She shares a glance around, "Of course sir, as always confidintiality will be kept."

 [10:46] AA: "I do not know if you noticed before he left, but the twink Jack who was just here indicated that he is the one who has been attempting to fill Acenia's Primer."

 [10:49] AA: Merrow sighs. "It is probably incredibly reckless of me, but I have made an arrangement with him to become a more worthy contender, so as to present him a genuine challenge."

 [10:49] AA: "It is entirely possible he is planning to lead me into a trap. It is also entirely possible that I am going to get myself krilled in following his teachings."

 [10:50] CC: She frowns, "That seems to be a substantial risk sir, if I may say."

 [10:50] AA: "It is. But all of my options are risky."

 [10:51] AA: "Because of this, I am asking you to be in charge of reviving me if I get krilled."

 [10:52] CC: "Not a problem sir, I have a stockpile of peptic salve and a portable defibrulator on hand in my first aid kit if need be."

 [10:53] AA: "That will be good too. But I meant that if my dreamself survives, I am told that I can be revived with a kiss to either my corpse or to my dreamself on Prospit. And I need someone I can trust to ensure that happens in the event of my death."

 [10:53] AA: "Please understand, this would be a completely chaste kiss. There would be no quadrantial element to it."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:55] CC: Her face flushes teal "Um...an...unusual request to be certain sir, but if it mis mission critical, it will be done."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:57] AA: "I understand this is not an area you are comfortable with, Mahtah, but I trust you will be able to get past it for a situation that is literally a matter of life and death."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:58] AA: "I would not ask you, except you are the person I trust the most in matters such as these, and will be close at hand if I fall on LOBAB."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:59] CC: She nods, "Understood sir. If need be I will facilitate your revival through oral contact."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [10:59] AA: "Thank you, Mahtah."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:00] AA: "I would endeavor to keep this from everyone. Rilset will know within 48 hours, and there's nothing I can do about that. I fear the other veterans would attempt to talk me out of this if they knew, given their histories with Jack."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:01] AA: "You can of course tell Acenia anything you wish to. She is aware of my plan."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:02] CC: "Understood. Is there something I should tell the other players if the inquire into your activities?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:03] CC: *they

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:04] AA: Merrow sighs. "You may tell them that I am focusing my time and energy on filling Acenia's Primer, and preparing for the worst in case I cannot."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:04] AA: "You can even tell them that I am working on mastering my aspect, if you wish. Just avoid bringing up that I am working with an instructor."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:06] CC: "Understood. I will use as much descretion as possible. Team morale is an important aspect in an active mission."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:12] AA: "Thank you. Very whale. In that case I will need to seak out your mother to sea if she can get me patched up. Excuse me, Mahtah." Merrow gives a slight incline of his head, then walks off to find Seriad.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:14] CC: Mahtah shakes her head and insists on helping him walk, "I am afraid I am going to insist that I assist you in finding her sir. You are still injured." She allows herself to show a small smirk, "and I do not wish to have to "revive" you before my first date with Mister Etrors."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [11:18] AA: Merrow smirks and accepts her help.
