"About Master Eeole?"
Trada's head tilted ever so slightly, mulling over that information.
"Didn't Master Eeole state that he wouldn't be able to be near you for the time being? I don't know of any reasons for him to lie about that."
"No, I'm not worried about Eeole keeping tabs on me," Oli clarified.
"If anything… I probably wouldn't be worried if Eeole was here. Especially after what he said."
Trada drew closer, wearing her growing concerns like a funeral veil.
"Well, if that is the case then Master Eeole must be closer than expected. He shouldn't be able to reach you with telepathy otherwise."
Oli shrugged in baffled agreement.
"That's the thing. I… kind of get the feeling that he wasn't nearby. The message was choppy, faint, and hard to understand. I've never heard anyone sound like that over telepathy.
"And it might be the first time I've ever heard Eeole sound worried."
