[ It takes a few days after they first arrive in this possible future for the Outsider to have both the presence of mind and the ability to reach out to Thranduil. Magebane is a heady thing, but they have hidden in Kirkwall and his magic returns to him, black returning to his eyes.
He is not fully recovered when he reaches out. He doesn't care. Corvo is accounted for, alive but not well. What of Thranduil?
The statue he had given him after Halamshiral was meant for this; crafted by his hands, small but sturdy. It should not, by all rights, move. Yet it does, magic breathing into it a sort of life -- which means the statue is clearing its throat, wherever Thranduil might have it. ]
I hear it has been a few years, my friend.
[ The face on the statue is unmistakably the Outsider, but that's to be expected. The voice is probably more surprising. ]
