I'd rather talk about the dangers you may be facing.

Perhaps if we discuss it, we can come up with some sort of a plan.

[she would like to make sure vin survives???]

[allomantic]

[she nods, after a moment.]

The memory where I was... injured. We went there in the first place to find something we thought might help us - but we had to pull back when the Inquisitors found us. We had hoped for a while we wouldn't need it, but...

[she sighs.]

I was headed back there right before I was brought here.

[countermeasures]

[...but they had needed it, after all. why else would they have gone after it? vin doesn't take useless actions, and she's fairly sure the man in her memories doesn't, either.]

Will there be Inquisitors again, when you return?

[allomantic]

[...]

It is possible it will be more well guarded. The rebellion has been discovered, since then.

[countermeasures]

Perhaps there's something you could do to draw the guards away...? Stage some sort of distraction somewhere else, and slip in and out while they're busy dealing with that?

[allomantic]

[she pauses for a moment.]

Well - encountering them last time was unexpected. They were already supposed to be in a different part of the palace. The problem with that is... they are drawn to a power I use. They can sense when it is activated, and it will likely need to be activated while I'm there.

[countermeasures]

[hmm. that makes it more complicated.]

...and it's only you that uses that power?

[allomantic]

[she nods.]

[countermeasures]

[damn. that makes it more difficult.

jiuqing falls silent, trying to think up other options. but - she really doesn't know vin's world well enough to be able to plan against the possibility of running into the inquisitors again.]

[allomantic]

[after a moment:]

...I'm sure I'll think of something. But - thank you, regardless.

[countermeasures]

...if you ever want to talk over possibilities, I'd be glad to hear you out. I'm not very familiar with your world, but I'm good at coming up with plans, usually.
