Phalaenopsis waited for the others to depart, waving after them as a group, before turning to Evo. "Thank you for not jumping to the conclusion they did." he said simply, but very quietly, "I've given it some thought, and I'm willing to give Jinn the benefit of the doubt that he sent the banners back because he's about to do something very dangerous and wanted us to know that he might not be coming back. I don't know yet how I'm going to handle that, but I do know that I'm going to give myself a few weeks to a month before I start looking to make a search party."
He sighed. "In the meantime, I'm going to let Calan and Rohnan tend to their own feelings, and just be there for them when they need me. I suspect, though, that they will eventually come to blows over this; Calan is going to want to do everything himself to try to protect Rohnan, and Rohnan is going to take that about as well as trying to shove a cactus up someone's backside."
"Evo? You busy?"
He turned his head to see Arlyne standing at the doorway, and smiled at her in greeting. "I suspect you have pressing Sanctum matters to deal with if Mistress Arlyne is here, so I will leave you to it. Don't trouble yourself with this too much for the time being, but if I find out anything more I'll let you know. I hope you have a good day, Master Evo."
He made an overly showy bow, winked at the Magus, and left the room. "Enjoy your meeting, Mistress, Arlyne." he said with a smile as he passed her.
