[thankfully the network is online, so he doesn't have to communicate his wishes in a string of hopefully sent emojis. instead, he can speak into the watch, calm, direct. not betraying the tiredness that comes from having just spent the better portion of a day, a whole night, and the entire morning on this project.]

Something relating to this supposed king was brought to my attention. There is a spell of great, ancient power written in the walls of his cell in runes. It's a very elaborate, highly dangerous form of teleportation, but there is a section that still eludes me despite my best efforts - the final outcome of the work. Unquestionably, if this can be figured out, we have a better chance of figuring out where in this ocean he should be.

A few more sets of eyes and minds should do the trick, if you understand things about arcane energies and magecraft well beyond your common tricks and illusions. I'd appreciate the help.

[there's half of a stifled yawn before the feed cuts out. he hadn't been able to stop, once he started - once Merlin actually got to work, he was going to get things done.]

Well. You will be. This man seems to be incredibly knowledgeable, and I know how much of this is your area of expertise.

[ ah, allura. stubborn to the last. still, lotor seems satisfied with the answer, and he glances offscreen at something before straightening up, seemingly to go somewhere.

where, he's not going to say. but probably wherever this merlin guy is, to investigate. (: ]

And I imagine you'll join us, to ensure we don't get into trouble.

[ he can always trust on allura being a nosy busybody. and, honestly, she will be useful. ]

I will see you soon, Princess.

[ and the feed disconnects. xoxo gossip girl. ]
