"Redemption is found in various ways," Gsbe said softly, following their gaze. "What happens now is up to Guild, but unless I miss my guess, they won't be separated forever." There was a tiny smile on his lips. He'd have to check to be sure, but Gabe was very good at telling these kinds of things.

Corrival raised an eyebrow at the Teleporter's silly grin but said nothing. He gave Gabe a penetrating look as well, but again made no comment. "Well," he said dryly, "if we're all finished gallivanting, there's a few things some of us need to discuss. But not here. By your leave, Mr Renn."
