You reminisce about your association thus far, and the possibilities of your future alliance. Isery is eager to make themself useful to the Seven. "I'll begin gathering what information I can about Nidah and its environs. Travellers from the Elder Continent tend to be circumspect, but my bees won't care." Leaning close, Isery kisses your cheek with unmistakable warmth. "To immortality."

| Hear Isery's proposal
"If I am to hitch my fortunes to yours, I need to know with utter surety who I am dealing with." A Melliferous Sister approaches. She carries a single lamplighter bee in a filigree cage. |
Isle of Cats: Isery's Patronage ≤ 6 [A successful experiment!]
|
"Allow me to taste your memories," Isery says. "I've been conducting experiments in selective harvesting. We will use a single, specially-bred bee. Once I have tasted your memories, we will kill it (a decision which, I would like to establish, represents a notable loss of investment on my part). That will ensure your remaining memories are safe.
"I respect you too much to lie to you: the process will be blisteringly unpleasant. But it shouldn't be fatal. As long as you are resilient."
 A Taste of You
