And they saw right through you. Terribly unfortunate. The locals may be a dead end, but I will be certain to keep an ear out for the name elsewhere; I would rather like to pursue this information as well, if you mind not another hand in it.
I can say with confidence that the doll I had held on to belonged to Miss Satariel, while the other item found thus far belonged to Suriel. To briefly state, I do think that... a version of the Watchers, so to speak, can be encountered within these ventures, and that they place upon us the responsibility of returning these belongings.
One of the notes shared among us during the meeting, in regards to the angels, ended like so:
[ Alphinaud lifts his notebook, reading off the page. ]
"Fewer still choose to leave those ranks, and return to the world from whence they came, for they can only do so as long as that which ties them to humanity is kept safe."
Now, I presume you are able to make the connection here, but I can almost be certain those belongings of theirs can be related to this.
Indeed. I full intend on speaking to those who have returned recently with their findings, that we may bring back the next item to the appropriate Watcher. 'Tis imperative, I feel, that we free them from what binds them to the angels.
And if I am right, then we all must be aware of what we are to do.
Mr. van Zieks is a reasonable man, so I do not anticipate it will come with difficulty. Besides, even if he were not, 'twould be folly of him to not speak of it when mine own sister accompanied him on such a journey.
Not yet. I had wanted to allow her some rest ere I begin prying her for details, but knowing her... She likely wants to discuss it as we speak, as she is privy to my wish to seek out the Watcher's possessions.

Yes... imagine if.

Well, that answers that, it seems.

It was an "undercover operation." We pretended to be locals.

[But he'll give his blessing to that suggestion.] So long as you keep that warning in mind, do what you like with the information.

[ Alphinaud jots something down quickly in his notebook, then: ]
While we are on the topic of angels, however—might I mention a thought that occurred to me while taking my notes?

Why?

That sounds like a solid theory.
In which case... we'd best try to secure those belongings whenever we're able to.

And if I am right, then we all must be aware of what we are to do.

Good plan. It looked like Mr. Van Zieks was carrying something when they came out... He might still have it, if it hasn't changed hands since then.

It seems you've got your work cut out for you today. Make sure you leave enough time to rest, as well.
