It happened three days after Nyxara.
Not connected to it directly. Caelum did not work that way, drawing straight lines between one thing and the next. He worked by accumulation, taking in everything around him and letting it settle until something clarified, and then asking the question the clarification produced. The question had probably been forming for weeks. Nyxara in the grounds was the last piece of something and three days later he asked.
He found Vaelor in the east workspace after the morning session.
He came in and sat down across from him in the chair that had become his chair in this room, the one he pulled close enough to see whatever was on the desk without being asked, and he put his hands on his knees and he looked at Vaelor.
Vaelor set down his pen.
