"I shouldn't be surprised that you did," I murmur. So strange, to have had such a deep connection to someone that I hardly know otherwise - it took me a few minutes even to remember her last name when I was writing the note! But for the time that Syl and I were casting that spell, we were each aware of every tiny detail of the other.
" Glad 'e's healthy."
"Thank you," I say, quiet and serious. "So am I." Healthy children are never to be taken for granted, not in this world. "Nu had a great deal to do with that - she helped me."
Syl listens as I explain what Nanshe told me - her frown deepens more with every one of my words, and she sits in unhappy silence for a long moment at the end.
"Hell." is the first thing she says, and I do not blame her at all for wanting to curse. "That ain't gonna be easy. She give ya any notion how?"
"Not as much as I would have liked." I have to admit. "The brooch is part of it - it is a connection to her, and I can use it to call upon her. That will help us draw her forth. But the rest, I believe we have to figure out for ourselves. Not just the two of us, of course - it is too large a task for two people alone. But since we were the ones who worked the original spell, we are the ones who have the best chance of figuring this one out."
