[After a few failed attempts, the effort had worn on Ravine somewhat.
[Fortunately, this spells good news that those who think they can make it down there will likely not find the trip so easy as well, and Ravine knows that she is more capable than most. It's just where she applies those capabilities that matter.]
[It is what it is. Ravine doesn't see the point in dwelling on something that will heal soon enough. Nick didn't pressure her to try more than once, but she did, and that's on her.]
Not without putting all the pieces into place, that is.
[She is referring to the "fragments" Name had mentioned.]
[Ravine has intervened enough. Any more and she may have to be considered more involved than she wants to be.]
Although I cannot lie, I would enjoy seeing a couple of those who think they can just pop down to the Door, now that I know what happens. It would certainly harm them more than me. [Ha. Haha.]
I'm betting a few will try, but you know what they say about holding a cat by the tail.
[And frankly, there are a lot of foolhardy people in Hadriel. At least some of those who might just teleport down there will be deterred for a while. That puts most of them on equal footing.]
You learn things you cannot learn any other way. [Nick's reference does not go over Ravine's head.] I am aware.
[Not everyone does, though. That is something she will allow them to discover on their own, should they question her experience for one reason or another.
[Then, she grins.] You do not need to speak of debts with me, Nick. My curiosity is sated as much as yours.

It is nothing I cannot recover from.
[Thanks for asking though, Nick.]

Guess we don't have to worry about just anyone getting down there.

Hm. Now the problem is who finds those pieces first, and what they do with them.
[And he doesn't doubt that's going to be a brand new set of problems.]

Thanks for the help, Ravine. I owe you one.
