Yuri, it's Vira. May I have a moment of your time?

[aubins]

[ do you know i constantly forget that we have display names? ]

mockingbird

sure. where are you?

[chevaleros]

[ i love them too much to forget ]

lord-commander
Thank you. The library is fine.

[aubins]

[ yuri will just head to the library after sending an acknowledgement ]

[chevaleros]

[ she's sitting at one of the tables, but she closes her book and greets yuri with a nod when she spots him. ]

I won't keep you long. I wanted to you to speak to you about the boon you have, Oliver Twist.

[aubins]

[ he just waves a hand ]

Ahh. Did someone speak to you about it?

[chevaleros]

Harrowhark mentioned that she would tell someone, right?

[ though, as luck would have it— ]

Though I spoke to her first, because I have the same one.

[aubins]

Yes, we agreed on it. For the record, Gu Yun knows about it from me.

[ amazing ]

We did notice you started the whole discussion and didn’t say anything. I wasn’t sure if you had the same ability or one we didn’t know about at all.

[chevaleros]

Ah, I've been found out.

[ it's not like the powers conversation was terribly useful for that trial, but it was certainly helpful for them. ]

I'm grateful that neither of you detailed what it does—though given its nature, we agreed it was best to let you know I have it too.

[ so they don't. copy each other. ]

[aubins]

Just a little.

[ at least it had one use that mattered ]

For the moment I’m assuming three people have this power — unless a lot of other people also chose to keep quiet as well, which is possible. I’m not sure if some people lied about their powers.

[ he nods ] Harrow was very pointed about not wanting to do more than confirm abilities to one other person, which I think is fair. Someone to confirm it, if we can’t.

[chevaleros]

Yes, there is always the possibility that someone with our boon is pretending to have a different one. In which case we may wish to keep an eye on those abilities that were granted in groups of four...

[ it would be a good cover to pick something innocuous, rather than admit to being able to photocopy powers. ]

Still, it seems most likely that is the three of us. And I agree that having one person who can vouch for us is a good plan, should any of us die.

[ she may as well say it. ]

[aubins]

Gu Yun isn't lying about his. Because he told me before the trial. And I don't think we have any reason to assume the people who started the discussions about their powers are lying either. Everyone else is fair game though.

[ yup. it does put a bit of a question mark over your head that way. ]

Yeah. It might not make things any clearer for anyone, but at least they'll know to look at ... how much of an effect the powers have had, and see if it looks like an original or a copy. However they have to do that.
