[The chaos child seems to be listening intently after Saber starts speaking, though she sways from side to side a bit. She certainly was not expecting to be asked anything important, especially not if Alice was involved, the girl loved to keep her out of trouble.]
[When she finally finishes though, Lumina actually giggles softly.]
A grand, important quest to track down an unseelie traitor? [It wasn't hard to guess about the locket, how else would he be able to know what they were saying?]
[The truth was that Alice spoke of Lumina's abilities before Saber
expressed an interest in sending her on a mission. Then Alice had made it
a point to impose upon Saber how Lumina was a child and should be protect,
etc, etc, etc. Lumina was an adult by Unseelie standards and Saber didn't
have time to coddle children when there was a war approaching.
Still, she'd chosen J'sairr because of Alice's concern. Archer was chosen
because of his supposed skills as a secret agent and she had a feeling he
might be willing to take an arrow meant for Lumina if only so he could see
what she'd eventually look like when she grew up. The child was clearly
unhinged, but a good bit of the Unseelie were in some manner or another.
Even she, herself, was so as long as the girl seemed in control she
wouldn't hold it against her.]
That is correct. His name is Faolan, and he's sworn himself to the Seelie
Marshall. Track him down, relieve him of his locket and find a means to
magically track him. He is not to be killed or severely harmed. I would
rather he have no idea he has been targeted.
I will send J'sairr and Sterling Archer to you in the morning.
I have no intention of killing him. If he is caught dealing Unseelie
secrets, he will be brought before the Monarchs. Perhaps talk to one of
the Aellyn elvish sorcerers for aid. Or J'sairr might have an idea.
Discuss it with your team. The locket is priority, though.
[Oddly enough, that was the exact same expression Archer had on his face the first time he talked to J'sairr over the lockets. Saber remembered seeing it. She really hoped the Dragonborne would have patience with the two.]
Yes. He walks on two legs, has a cat's face and ears... and I believe he has a tail, though I have no personally inspected to see if he did. Please show some restraint, Lumina.

It sounds so exciting, how can I possibly refuse?

[But isn't that the unseelie way...?]

Sooooo...who're Archer and J'sairr?

[See this face? This is the excitement only a twelve year old can express at the idea of a giant kitty-man.]

Date: 2015-01-07 02:45 am (UTC)I will leave you to your preparations. I expect to be contacted the moment you have the locket and you are at a safe location.
I bid you success.
[And Saber shut her locket.]
