Istredd came here to actually visit the Singularity, as he does every time he goes into the Horizon, but something is playing games with him. Maybe it? Who knows. Every time he tries to go there, he ends up somewhere else. He tries to visit exact people, and ends up at a stranger's domain instead. It's frustrating so he decides to simply stay in his own for now, writing notes about the vision he had before all of this started.

The thing about his domain in particular is that Istredd is a telepath, so there is an underlining vibe there sometimes, a way that he's connected to all of it at the same time. He can't read people unless they want him to, and he wouldn't try regardless, but he senses a presence. The ground shakes again and he sighs as books fall off their shelves. The one thing that's been true is that everywhere he goes, no one else is doing this. What it means, he has no idea.

If it was Wanda, he would reach out and invite her in, but they share that bond willingly. So Istredd chooses to go outside and see if whoever visiting is okay. He doesn't know if the thing messing with his domain is trouble, and people have been struggling, he knows that much. He looks very tired as he steps out of the doorway that appears, spotting the woman he met in Nocwich.

"Ciri," he says, nodding his head at her. It was a brief meeting, but Istredd doesn't talk to many people, so he remembers. "I'd say sorry about the shaking, but I'm not doing it."
