[ Though not a master of mind magic, Ranni had, indeed, felt the severing of one of her tethers. It had been very new, barely established, and yet the cutting of the cord had been... impactful.
It had provided her a first-hand account of what the severing of tethers would feel like; academically interesting, but unpleasant to experience. She had thought Kaylmiya dead, at least until her message comes through the Murmur.
Ever a fan of formal messaging, Ranni responds in kind. Her reply is tinged only the barest amount of winter's chill, reserved and unemotional. She assumes this is Kalmiya's current wish: to not experience or share in many emotions at this present moment. ]
I, too, spoke with her, yet our fates were very different.
[ Sleep had welcomed her almost as a sister, had touched her with affection, had even braided her hair and spoke of her goals. Ranni had come to understand the god in a whole new light; still, she does not welcome these manipulations. ]
I am pleased to recieve news of thee; I had thought thee dead. To have made Sleep so angry as to sever your tethers-- was that thy goal?
