[Not so foolish to say the name aloud when there are too many people who might stroll past on her end to ask why she's saying it, she mouths it instead. Makes sure to remember it. He'll stand out better to her eyes as is, very tall and with red hair, easy enough to find.]
Should I be keeping my distance from them? Some people are best observed that way, others you do it better sitting down, talking with them, sometimes both.
Go slowly and use your best judgment. They're too much the unknown right now, which is entirely the problem.
( Gwenaƫlle is inclined to trust what she's seen of Araceli's instinct; the fact that she's been with this group of the Inquisition so long without her name coming up to her before is in itself something of a recommendation. Most of the people she's heard of, it's because they did something.

Keep going fishing, keep taking notes, keep the fire burning because you know how to build little driftwood pyramids. Better that than wonder if they'll ever get back.
(She'd row back herself with anyone else who fancied the trip if she's trapped with everyone here. With the prospect of another Galadriel.)]

( Despite the fact she holds the crystal momentarily against her bosom, Araceli can probably still hear her muffled fuck. )
If it doesn't, the household will know to expect you whenever's convenient after. ( This once, a noblewoman who actually means when is convenient to Araceli and not simply get here posthaste; there's so much to juggle, so much work. )
