[Anduin appears in the image, looking tired and more than a little blood-spattered. Don't worry. None of it is his...

He offers the flash of an exhausted smile before just getting on with it:]

My apologies, I fear I am out of practice with this. In the hope of appealing to your better nature, I am putting out a call for aid.

[Anduin's expression sobers.]

If you have spent any time down in the Wards at all then you understand the conditions there are very poor. Crown Prince Haiva has informed me that the King has dedicated a third of their army to the city’s most vulnerable and the evacuation attempts, but...

The more attacks this city should suffer, the less they will be able to spare for what is already considered by some to be a waste of resources.

I understand that we all have our own very vital assignments to undertake in this conflict. I would implore you however, in the coming few days, to give of whatever time you might have and help us prepare for the next few waves of evacuations. These people need to escape this mountain if we wish to give them any chance of surviving this. Just as I have been tasked with tending to the wounded on the towers and to the Crown Prince himself, are there those among our number that we might direct this assistance towards?

[Speaking of the Prince. Anduin hesitates, before pressing on:] I understand that Prince Haiva is busy enough, as it is. I am certain he would appreciate any and all assistance that can be given. I am only sorry I have not been able to offer him any relief from the illness which continues to plague him. I don't suppose the other healers among us have had any further luck than me?

[Sharing is caring, friends!]

It isn't a problem. I'll help where needed.

[ As for that last part... ]

I have. When I was helping a young lady and others get safely to the 48 Stronghold.

[Anduin isn't going to share his own experience as readily, though he has some. A strange mixture of Haiva and Deimar's position, as King and healer. Trying to see his people through both war and potential apocalypse both...

He offers the other man a soft smile.]

Then it sounds as though you are exactly the person we need for the task.

[ There is one thing that Xie Yun keeps to himself and the only one who knows is Beitang Moran but only because he'd noticed it. What he'd given to Anduin was as a mere traveler and nothing more. Though, it would seem as they both had a bit of royal dealings in their life, as it were. Neither of them a stranger to war.

He does give a smile of his own. ]

Then I will set out and make sure things go as planned.

[There are those in the city who have seen through Anduin as well. Not that, he supposes, it was all that difficult, in hindsight. The signs are there, if you know what you are looking for. What you are looking at. He has a feeling that Moran has seen it too, although they have yet to address it head-on.]

Thank you, my friend.
