[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 4238139, member: 3448"] After Dame Constance left, Kit perked her head up. “I’m getting a message from the dog-- wait, now it’s fading… Argh! They just put the dog to sleep! Someone gave him a bone that put him to sleep. If they’ve hurt him… I’m contacting Alvin now. He was supposed to be watching as well.” Alvin responded immediately to Kit’s mental contact. <<I am sorry, my lady. I had just gone across the way to get a bite. I will return posthaste.>> A few moments later Alvin continued his mental message. <<The dog is sleeping but seems well. There is someone in the shop, however; it’s an elf, a female elf. Not one of the highest and mightiest, but not a wood elf either.>> He sent an image to Kit. She relayed that information to the Council, and Dame Brionna immediately began mobilizing guards and planning to cordon off the area. Kit considered the image. “She’s definitely not eldar or gray elf, my lord. I’ll put the image in your mind.” Alistair nodded. “That’s a high elf, no doubt about it. A sorceress or wizard, I should say, based on what she’s carrying. Can we find out what they are talking about?” Kit sent a request to Alvin, who crept closer to try to hear. Kit ordered him to also listen to their thoughts. “You’re certain then?” said the high elf. “There is definitely something, mum,” said the hedge witch. “I seen him at the coronation, though, and he was a right proper young lad. I hear troubling stories, though. I don’t rightly know what’s going on. I followed a pattern, but then lost it. I think someone or something plots against him.” “The Mages are pleased with your service. And I believe there was an attempt to kill you?” “Oh, yes, a great horned thing-- demonic blood in that one. It was the Captain of his guard that struck him down.” “The Captain could not have been deceived?” “It would be hard to deceive that one.” “Your words will go far to reassure the Council.

The Council also invited Princess Kaitlyn to another private meeting. They decided that a certain amount of rumors would be fine, but that they would not encourage rumors actively.
