[ Right, that would be a good start. Raising an alarm (or something close to it) was just the first step, and keeping any explanations in sync will - hopefully - keep this from becoming anything else. Something worse, or something more involved. All things he doesn't trust the Free Cities to handle well in terms of what it might mean for any Summoned. ]

My conversation with them started with them asking why I chose to hang back with the troops rather than assist with the ravine, and then they asked how me to describe how we crossed it. I said I stayed back to keep morale up since the soldiers weren't happy about stopping, and that we just so happened to fell some trees the length of the ravine to cross in a great stroke of luck.

Very convenient those trees were there - that was all. No mention of anything else from me and it'll stay that way.

I understand.

And considering you were with the soldiers, it makes sense that you might not have seen everything, if more details come to light later, after all.

Have you warned Jesper?

[godshattering]

Even if more details come to light, I don't plan on confirming them at any point. I'm far less concerned about covering myself than making sure whatever the Free Cities doesn't need to know stays out of their hands. Not unless whoever it is decides to reveal that for themselves, of course.

[ Not really his job these days given that he's not a commander of anything and the Summoned are more than capable of handling themselves, but old habits die hard and hence the slight correction. Whatever those who might be questioned about their abilities end up wanting to do, he'll support. That's their choice to make and one he feels shouldn't be accidentally made for them by sharing things better left unsaid. ]

I haven't yet, but I will be soon. I was hoping to see if I could catch both of you in person before it occurred to me it'd be better to share this now in case those follow ups happen sooner than implied. I'll make sure Jesper knows this happened, too.
