Regina smiles, but it's a distant, melancholy smile, the smile of a mother who hears of a successful daughter who never writes home. She sets her teacup in its saucer, and they rattle a bit as she sets them down.

"...Mother? Did you hear that?" She says.

"I did," she says cautiously. "I also heard Aegis' name. Where did you say she was, again?"

"She said she was going to the split rock," Aurum says, peeling off her flower print garden gloves. "Do you believe she is in trouble?"

"It's Aegis, sweetheart." With that non sequitur, Regina rises. "Freya, I'm sorry to have to cut this short, but it seems that there might be an...issue. Can I see you to the end of the walk?"
