[ There's a bend to Red's brow at the mention of Elios's love, like either he finds the idea strange, that he may be reminded of something else, or the combination of the too. Nevertheless, despite the skew to his mouth, he doesn't say anything of it, the look falling as he considers the rest.

...We should speak to one of the other Arehtei first, and figure out if provoking Elios directly one way or another is a good idea. Just directing Peromei might be enough... we can get her ready. Doing anything with Elios will be harder-- we're likely to get the feedback we used to get in the past with the Arehtei calling for him.

[ But, if it's just a call... wouldn't that be good enough? This idea really was turning into a trap. ]
