A portal opens...

Miquella sits down looking down looking at the ward. “I would say it was very unnerving. Watching him preform the same actions. Keeping him in a loop. Were you able to discover who the box came from?”

Selena looks up and grimaces at the Ma'am, and waves her hand motioning for him to put the sword away.
"Everything's fine. But drop the ma'am. Commander is fine."
She takes a calming breath, and relaxes her shoulders again.
"Old friend popping by for a visit. Always likes to make an entrance." She rolls her eyes and leans back against the ward, pointing her dagger at Blodwulf.
"You disappeared, and I had to handle the vampires. You are on my list to get to. But it's going to have to wait. Bigger bugs and all that. Which by the way, seen your little tree elf friend? The one that released the fairies?"

Lorielle shakes her head. "I was not able to but Ivan should be more than capable of finding out who did this."

Miquella crosses his arms. “Then I will wait. Also, who is he? Is he a member of the guild?”

*Looking concerned, but relaxing a little* "Sorry, ma...er...Commander. old habits. I have no excuse for my disappearance. I haven't seen Saige since she came out of that portal. Is she alright?"

"I could have found out quicker than he can if you had given me a minute to get here." She calls over her shoulder to Lorielle.
"He was." She calls to Miquella. "It's how I met him."
She turns her attention back to Blodwulf. "We'll figure out where you went later, and I don't know about your elf. I just know she saved the fairies."
