"Halmarut!"

The sudden call of her title was preceded by the warm hum of teleportation magic and followed by the sound of footfalls upon the nearby grass, and Halmarut turned to see Azem swiftly approaching, cradling something in their hands. "Look what I found in the western isles!"

The black-masked figure stopped before her and held out her cupped palms, smiling expectantly. Halmarut peered closely — the other woman's hands held bare soil, a strange little plant with thick fuschia leaves sitting slightly askew in the middle of it. Her breath caught.

"Is that—no—the extinct variety of lithops I spoke with you about?"

Azem nodded excitedly, a lock of unruly golden hair falling free of her hood.

A sound of joy escaped Halmarut's lips that probably would have earned disapproving stares from some of the Convocation's more conventional members, but it only made Azem grin even more brightly.

"Oh, I cannot believe — what a miracle of nature — oh I must get a pot for it immediately, don't move!"
