Stern as his expression is, Sabine's answer earns a single nod of acceptance after a moment's pause.

"Everything we do here in Thorne is ultimately for the preservation of the Singularity," he says with finality. "For the sake of protecting this world, not only the Kingdom of Thorne."

A topic of speech that Istredd has doubtlessly heard before, but Sabine is saved from Ambrose going down that long-winded path for now.

"Very well. You may accompany Istredd." He motions from Sabine to Istredd. "And as his apprentice, I expect to see your name on his report whether or not there are unique properties to the ground around the Singularity."

He taps his fingers three times on the wooden desk as he considers the second half of Istredd's proposal.

"If Kyle isn't tasked with another delivery, he would be a fine choice to deliver the casket. If he is busy with something of markedly less importance..."

Plucking a quill from an inkwell, Ambrose scribbles down a quick note on a small piece of parchment and places magical seal in the bottom corner next to his signature. He holds it out to the pair.

"...then this should remind everyone the Singularity is our primary duty."
