The text comes for Adia in the night as well, during one of the rare times that Caspar has fallen asleep before her, but her reaching for her PINpoint is enough to rouse him from slumber. He shifts in the sheets and blinks blearily at her while she reads Abysa's message.
Despite his request being couched in many layers of politeness, she can sense its importance. Something serious must have happened for him reach out like this. "I need to go meet with Abysa," she tells Caspar, kissing him once before slipping out of bed to get dressed. “He needs my help.”
Suddenly wide awake, Caspar sits up and frowns suspiciously. “Why, did Micolash’s head explode again?”
“No, I don’t think so…” She pulls on her clothes and runs a brush through her hair to try to make herself look like she hasn’t just rolled out of bed. Catching her boyfriend’s expression in the mirror of their makeshift vanity, she returns to him and gives him another kiss. “I’ll be fine. Abysa wouldn’t invite me over if it wasn’t safe for me, and I’ve got Reynard’s blessing.”
The mention of the Winter Spirit does not improve Caspar’s mood. “I’m coming with you. To the Nexus, at least,” he says, cutting off her protest. “I’ll see you off properly.”

Several minutes later, Abysa will receive a text in reply.
Hi, Abysa. I’m happy to help you. I’m sitting by the large fountain in the center of the The Plaza. My boyfriend is with me, but only to make sure I meet up with you safely. See you soon.
