"If I ever get the time, I will. It's not good to stay cooped up in the Gallows or even the city for overly long. I'll need to see for myself from time to time what the conditions are like beyond the walls. Now simply isn't the right time for it." He has a feeling it will be a while before that can happen.
"All right. I'll have those texts sent to you. Take the maps with you and share them with the other mages. I'll have the permission writ filed by this evening, and all should be in order. I'll see you again in a couple of weeks if all goes well. Maker watch over you." He's not thinking in terms of dismissal, except there are easily a dozen other things he needs to see to within the next couple of hours, and he has subconsciously begun to manage his time accordingly, blocking things out according to priority and time needed. It leaves little time for pleasantries.
