No. Valdis isn't at work when Fever calls her over the sending stone, she's been at home, waiting for her partner to contact her for several agonizing hours. She felt every moment, and it took all her self control to not abandon what she was doing and hunt Fever and the others down. But she knew that if Fever had wanted her there, she would have asked.

She can feel, even now, that Fever is lighter, the sound of her voice, the feel of her soul, currently farther from her than she would like, but all points to good news. News that she should hear from Fever's own lips instead of assuming or trying to figure it out herself. Empathy can only get someone so far and she wants Fever to relate it all to her in her own words.

"I'm at home, been waiting for you."
