[Ursula's in her room, seated at the edge of her bed. Her curious gaze is drawn downward to the object cradled in her hands. It is dark, no hint of any power within and yet the princess can't help but wonder. She isn't one to keep useless trinkets on hand.]

I don't remember this being in my travel pack, though it was there when I began clearing it out earlier today. I don't suppose anyone can tell me what it is?

[She turns it in her hands, trying to fathom a guess, but no amount of staring provokes a memory or sense of familiarity with the object.]

When you have a moment, I need to speak to you about something.

[Ursula nods solemnly. Hearing about Nabudis makes her all the more eager to be rid of the dread item.]

I send it, then, if not bring it myself. Where do you reside?

[Ashe has little desire to keep it, herself - but she is rightly responsible for the stone, and must deal with it accordingly.]

In the Port City of Warjilis; Rasler and I are in governance there.

Warjilis....

[Ursula doesn't recognize it, but she pulls up a map on the sky phone.]

Ah, I see. Warjilis is roughly on the way to my destination, so I can bring it to you. Given the importance of this item, I would prefer not to send it by less secure means.

Then we will await your arrival. You will find us in the estate to the north; any citizen of the port will be able to direct you.

[A pause, she's thinking ahead on what to do with the Shard.]

... Thank you. Even if inactive, I would not see it fall into the wrong hands.

[A ready nod to that.]

I've had others asking about it. I hope it hasn't drawn the wrong sort of attention already.

Others?

[Not good. There's only one way to ensure no-one else gets their hands on it.]

Then I would advise that you do not travel alone.

[Ursula nods.]

I won't. Ceodore will be with me.

Very well.

In turn, I would offer the both of you lodgings at our estate overnight should you require rest before continuing to your intended destination.

Thank you. It might not be necessary, but is appreciated nonetheless.
