[Padparadscha, admittedly, wouldn't judge anyone for keeping their cards at least somewhat close to their chest. Gem society might value honesty and cooperation, but there are some things that do more damage than one would think.

For what it's worth, if you need a "sentry" companion while your friend looks into the matter, I have a little experience in that area. [Try several thousand years' worth.]

It's a shame someone would ruin the pleasure of being outside for you.
