==Full Text==
Kiri: I have returned, my King, after our earlier escape. I came only at the bidding of our Alpha when she called for aid. I do not think you should fear any possession by the Warden from me, and I would very much prefer not to be placed within a cell again. I will leave immediately should the situation arise.
King Haddock: Welcome back, Kiri! It is good to see your face once more. I do think we need to discuss precautions nonetheless in the hypothetical case the Warden does possess you again. After all, once you are under the possession, you’re not going to “leave immediately.”
Hemlock: Might I propose a solution, my king? It is something called an ‘astral tether.’ I recall reading about it. It allows the tethered person to only be able to travel certain areas and do certain things: for instance, you could weave it to not let Kiri into your chambers and keep them from attacking any allies. The tether’s settings can be easily changed but only by the creator.
There is also a sort of reverse enchantment that keeps all beings from entering an area or doing certain things. I have one that keeps everyone and everything out of my library.
Kiri: I can certainly tell you that I will not oblige to being under this ‘tether’.  I value my freedom too much, and am loathe to give it up once again.  If you could not tell, I am perhaps somewhat suspicious of many people these days.  Perhaps you do not remember that even when the Warden attempted to leash me, I constantly fought until I wrestled complete control back into my own hands? 
If you deem it safer, I will leave for the other fortress.  We have already lost quickslippy to the forest, as she decided it safer.  I do not mind doing the same.
Hemlock: It isn’t so much a tether as a safeguard, really, but if you think your solution is more…prudent, then go ahead.
King Haddock: How does it… prevent… people from such actions?
Hemlock: They simply cannot do it unless granted explicit permission by the creator. It is not possible. There is no ‘if you do it you will die’ or anything like that. They just…cannot.
Kiri: Bah!  It was foolish of me to return with the idea of staying.  I will not be controlled by anyone - not a Warden, not a tether, not anything but my own will.  I choose what I do and where I go, with my morals and loyalty dictating these actions.
I will be returning to the other fortress.  I am safe there.
Feel free to send me a message if you need extra manpower.  Or are willing to let me roam free as a respected rebel.
*whistles for Dagger, whom she jumps upon.  The two fly out the nearest exit, bound for the other fortress*
King Haddock: Um. Kiri. Kiri, I don’t want to use those things. I don’t allow the tether to be used. They make me feel uncomfortable - they’re too much like the possession. #don’t run off before I make my decision#come on
Kiri: *hovers on Dagger by the exit, eying both the King and hemlockandbelladona carefully*
You say that, but again, how can I be certain that you will not throw such a thing on me by surprise?  Without my knowledge?  After the imprisoning incident after lostvox’s death?  Even if I understand the motive, I do not feel safe knowing that such a thing can be done with such ease.
I cannot be certain who I can trust anymore.  So forgive me for being suspicious.
Either way, I am still bound for the other fortress.  There are others still there.  And we protect our own.
*flies away*
Hemlock: *swears softly* Kiri, you do realize the tether ritual can only be performed with your explicit consent?
