[ the lighthouse cube blinks into existence, projecting a video recording of the exchange that just happened, from "You wouldn't happen to have experience...?" until "What've you got in mind". dismisses the lighthouse straight after. ]
Once I'm back, ask me how it went. I'll play this immediately once we're in private. If I don't — or can't, without being able to explain why — you'll know something's up. Recording is fudged in the mist, but the only time I can't sense the lighthouse altogether is when my powers are off. And that situation would be obvious anyway.
Deleting footage only takes a split second. If I feel any sort of mind warping going in, I'm fairly sure I can delete that segment while it's happening.

Fine. I'll tell the other shepherds about the weed contact; seems like a waste to get stranded on a technicality. I can include Lethe, if you'd like. You know more about his plans than I do, so it's up to you.
I don't think I need to tell you this, but... be nice to the apothecary if you see her. She's competent at what she does, and quite brave; the 'regular' mist creatures didn't even faze her. But the Wolf King himself was a bit — much.
[ Minuet knows cues, he doesn't have to describe the absolute freeze response a regular human teenager would have. ]
Don't patronize her, just — well, you're better with kids than I am.

Reeeeeeally would like if if there was an extra backup that didn't rely on anyone's powers altogether. Seeing as how they're erratic and all.

No. Bad thought. Let's keep it at the lighthouse idea for now, I need to chew it over. I'll get back to you on it if it seems solid, though.

You get some rest too, all right?
