Jade does a lite jog to catch up with Vesta.
"I would like to go with you. I don't think you should be alone right now."

"There is a metal that is useful against dragons. I think it's meteoric iron? I'll have to check and get back to you."
As they reach Zuiigrii's house Jade will approach the door and knock.

"I didn't sick Kumara on anyone. He reacted when magic was cast in the embassy. I believe Vesta cast something but it was in the hall so I didn't witness it myself."
Jade thinks for a moment.
"I did try to send Vesta a missive about Roman's baby but it failed. So I sent one to Tristan after. He told me that he was trying to bring the information from the dragon letter up to higher nobility. "

Jade clears her desk and grabs her staff from a weapon rack in the corner. She stands excitedly.
"I don't have access to the ward in Zuiigrii's house, but I would love to join you."
Jade travels with Balasar to Zuiigrii's house.

"You what?! I would ask who did this but I know you wouldn't remember. "
Jade's face falls to a frown.
"He left soon after you did. I guess... a week or two? No more like a month now."

The door is opened and you are met with a familar six foot tall flesh golem. It looks down at you and steps aside without a word. Inside the room is Jade at her desk. She is looking over some papers at her desk. When she hears the door open she looks up and smiles when she sees Balasar.
"Good afternoon Balasar. Please come in and make yourself comfortable. How may I help you today?"

"If that's what you want, then sure. I don't think he is at your vardo though. Last I heard he turned himself over to Forsetidale. I can try to see if we can see him but I don't know if they will let us."

"Come with me to the embassy. We can get you in a fresh set of clothes and a hot meal and catch up."
Jade holds out a hand for Vesta to take.

Jade can be seen leaving the Seshtau. She notices the commotion and walks towards it to see what is going on. As she gets closer she recognizes Vesta. Jade gasps and rushes over to her.
"Vesta! Oh Vesta! I was so worried! I tried to send you a missive and it didn't go through. Are you alright?"

Jade holds Julien's hand in hers. She weaves their fingers together.
"Selfishly, I want you to stay. I think it would be best for the elders to stay close by in this time."
Jade looks down at their hands and then back up to Julien.
"I miss you as well. We have both been so busy."

Jade looks exhausted and battle worn. Her skirt and face are smeared with dried blood and swamp muck. She returns a small hug and nods.
"We got them out. But I think it was a distraction to start the onslaught. How is the front line?"

Jade sighs as she sees Zukar melt in front of her.
"Now that I have a diffrent truth in front of me I was already shifting my opinions in my head. I am still wary of them, so don't misunderstand that. But I am open to a different approach now."
Jade lowers her hands to her lap and softens her gaze.
"All we can do now is wait. I have already told Jedash to reach out to me if he needs help with their current situation. I am aware now of what is happening. So until they come to me saying that they need help, my main focus will be the war."
Jade straightens herself in her chair.
"Unless there is more you wish to discus, I think you should probably go see to Vesta. You know how these things weigh heavily on her heart."

Jade narrows her gaze to Zukar but keeps her tone level.
"I understand that you are scared. As am I. But do not act like this came out of nowhere. I listened to your fiance and what she has told me. Until right now I have had no reason to doubt her words. I know nothing of dragons and their politics. I am working with what I have. And what I have is this."
She holds up a finger.
"Selina told me never to trust a dragon. That they are self serving creatures. And that was proven to me by their constant secrecy and Wolfrum's failed plans to take over all of magic."
She raises a second finger.
"Why would I have asked why they closed their portals? Many things have happened to them that they refused to elaborate on or involve the heros. And when asked what was happening or how we could help it was met with either being told to let them handle it or more secrecy. "
She holds up a third finger.
"My entire life has been death and deception. So exscuse me for being a little paranoid of all powerful beings who keep secrets and have power great enough to fight Fate and Destiny and win."
She lowers her hand and places it back on the table.
"Vesta's words seemed true and seemed to line up with the events that were taking place. I chose to believe her. I was wrong. But don't worry."
Jade waves her hand in the air to dismiss her words.
"I won't be trusting anyone again. It only proves to fuck me over."
She leans back in her chair and rests her elbows on the arms while weaving her fingers together.
"There is your answer. I hope it satisfied you. Because that's the only answer I can give you. I fucked up Tristan. All I can do now is try to clean up my own mess and protect my people and my kingdom. "

The blond elf returns to the front desk and has Zukar follow him back to her office. The door is already open when they arrive. When Zukar steps inside he would see Jade sitting at her desk with her flesh golem protector at her side. Jade will motion for Zukar to have a seat. Once sat, Jade will have the flesh golem close the door and raise the ward. This time Kumara will stand post at the door on the inside.

Jade turns back to face Zukar.
"You write the letter in my office. Leave it on my desk for me to read. I will send it myself. I'll stay here with Vesta. Hurry."
Jade walks over to Vesta and sits on the floor beside her. Jade strokes her hair and rubs her back while Zukar writes the letter.
