Veda frowned. "You have an Oracle, and you still managed to run into a planet?"
The Elves looked a bit sheepish. "The Oracle is unwell, and spends most of her time in the long slumber of the Elves. She hasn't awakened in most of a century."
"Can I go wake her up?" Cara asked.
"Please don't."
One of the Elves that came in with serving trays placed a hand on Cara's shoulders, subtly keeping the badger in place before she could vanish.
"You know that doesn't actually stop me, right?" Cara asked, enjoying the fact that nobody could lie to her.
"Of course it does. I have [Nature Bonding] so you can't run from my grip."
The badger laughed as they both vanished, then reappeared in the same spot.
"Dammit."
Karl nodded in agreement. "That's the usual response when someone tries to catch a badger."
