"Kaylin, I'm here, can you hear me?"
The current distance from Aste is so wide that I'm very doubtful Kaylin will be able to pick out my words. It's the same on my side as well, all I can hear from her side is some scattered sounds.
I can reinforce the connection with mana but I can't exactly hold it for long, the ring may be small but it eats mana like my highest spells.
Doing so I'm able to make out some of her words, "Asher! Asher! Goddamnit!"
"I can hear you now, Kaylin, I'm reinforcing the connection, you should probably do the same, it'll ease my burden over here."
I hear her scoff and mutter snidely, "Burden huh."
After a moment she speaks up again, "Can you hear me clearly now?" It's clear, crystal clear at the expense of an unreasonable amount of mana.
"Yes, I can Kaylin, what's been going on down there?"
