Summary
Mara is sent on some errands and ends up on a ley line with a new friend.
Background
Having taken to the shadows, Mara finds herself quite pleased with how things have been going. She's expanded her abilities, made some money, even helped some people. Now she's looking to get a second initiation under her belt and the opportunity comes along unexpectedly.
The Errands
Mara is enjoying a solitary picnic in her domain when she recognizes that someone has entered her domain. Following the clues she finds a stone or Elichium with some flowers laying near where Dave was killed. Realizing the significance she adds some flowers of her own. While there, Ohrwurm calls and asks her to make a delivery to the Tír Tairngire embassy in Seattle. The package is under a stone on the opposite side of her symbiotically bound domain.
She gathers the package and curiosity gets the better of her. The case is protected by a spirit using the concealment power and on her way to delivery the package to Beatrix O'Flannigan she opens it to take a look inside. It appears to be diplomatic papers with a hidden code. Realizing that this is above her ability to easily decode and beyond her pay grade, she closes the case and sets about to make the delivery after being stopped by a Knight Errant officer.
While at the embassy she over hears talk of an operative who retired and went to live in the woods. The story is remarkably like her own, but she learns that they are actually speaking of another name Malia. As she leaves the embassy, Lady J calls and asks her to pick up something from another Talismonger. While at the shop, another elf brings in a large chunk of Elichium to sell. Mara attempts to make some small talk with the woman, but has little success finding out much about the crystal. After the woman leaves, she asks Briar Rose if she could tell if the source of two samples was the same. It turns out to be possible and Mara heads out to get a sample of the monument near her home. Returning with the sample, she finds that the source is the same and she leaves a message for the woman to call her with Briar Rose.
With all of the intrigue, she almost forgot to make the delivery to Lady J, so she does that and gets roped in to spending some time with the talismonger's grand children. Luckily a call from Dameon Morris gives her an out. He wants her to deliver a bomb to disrupt some mining operation about to get underway near Mt. Rainer. Not feeling overly confident in her ability to smuggle such a device across the border, she calls on Cascade for some much needed help. The smuggler is happy to oblige and they head off together after Mara procures some Laésal wine for her.
