[MG Council]
I know that those with summons have said that their beasts [...] talk to them, so it could be that they, and [...] Vivian, too, were and are somehow being influenced, which might make them hesitate further at coming to us for help if we're to offer it. And [........] given how people still react to mages, I doubt making a public announcement or making it too known that we're searching would help either the [.....] person carrying the beast or the Guild.
I haven't been able to turn up anything on shards in my research so far, but I agree. Talking to the librarian is the best lead we have. [.......] Is she okay? How is she?
