A quick pan of the long table ensured whatever issue had her hailed was very grim. Probably not the time to mention the invite then, thought she'd certainly have to answer it at some point.

It meant they'd have some time to put out one fire before turning their attention to the other. “King Therin has gotten wind of the memotic on board, and his priests have done whatever hoodoo they do to discover her identity.” Shala gasped. It was much worse than they'd predicted. The captain turned his eyes on her a moment before flicking his gaze away from her and back to the assembled group at large.
