[this message goes out to the whole fleet, voice-only. he sounds uncharacteristically serious. almost tense.]

To everyone involved with that dragon that showed up, listen--did anyone find a gemstone near his body? A necklace, maybe?

["It's important," goes without saying.]

[[ooc: this post is going up just to settle time-sensitive soul-binding stuff... said dragon slaying is still happening so keep tagging into that and don't feel like you missed anything. C:]]

And where do you propose we obtain one of those? Just ask the residents of Mor? "Oh, pardon me, we just need to borrow a corpse. Oh, no spares? I'll just ask next door."

They keep their dead in graves here, don't they?

[a pause, and a short, frustrated sound.]

Though I suppose grave robbery doesn't go over any better in other cultures than it does in mine.

Decidedly not. I refuse to defile the dead.

[The Mortalitasi had guidelines for the treatment of corpses, and they were often reverent, anointing them with oils, preserving them.

Dorian pauses.]

I may be able to help. I am a necromancer, after all, that might be useful to mention here. I may be able to bind the spirit to the physical plane for the most part, using an anchor. If we could find a part of a body, donated willingly, I would be willing to do it.

[he's so wound up that he's already halfway through thinking of... finding a way to just do it himself. he hardly needs Tek's influence to try saving him. but then--there's this possibility, which makes him pause in his frantic calculating and actually consider it.

if he hadn't spent so much time thinking about ways to metaphorically tack Tek's soul back to the real world on Nor, he wouldn't have given it a second thought, but...]

What do you mean? What would he... be, then?

Much the same. I...knew someone, much like what I am suggesting. A little....well, he was a special case. But the point is that if I had an anchor, we would hardly need a full body.

[And then, almost reassuringly.]

The anchor is to bind him to something physical, but free from my influence, lest you grow concerned. I'm simply eager to have the screaming stop, you understand.

[And it was magic work he hadn't done, not a permanent summoning like this, and thus it intrigued him.]

His form would reflect his spirit, so he ought to be able to change between his forms at will, the same as I assume he was able to.

[it would be so much easier if they got a dead body. his return would be assured if he just... got that soul to a normal dead body, brought him back the same way that Saeliss came back. but...]

He could grow into a... [...things like Tek were supposed to have their forms for a reason; his soul was a dragon soul, and would almost assuredly take over whatever they attached him to, as such. it would just need to be big enough. just part of a body... might not be enough...

Robin gets quiet for a long time, but the silence is accompanied with a steady tapping of his finger against his device. he must just be thinking.]

...I might be able to provide an anchor. I've got a... Regenerative talent, of sorts, that I might be able to use to make something. It might even help contain his massive energy. It won't be like bringing back a human spirit, that's for sure...

So long as we don't attract the attention of demons, I'm certain I will manage.

[A pause.]

Let me know where and when to meet you.

[he... thinks that demons would be the least of their problems, but.]

Tonight, out by that... so-called "haunted" burial mound. There's nothing of importance there, but the locals won't come near it, so. Should be a quiet night.

I will be there.

[Boy, bye, see you there.]
