Juseich held her curled fingers over the front of her mouth as she reflected. [i]"A liminal bridge. Hmm. One enchanter I met suspected something similar, but it was dismissed. He didn't see that it acted like a liminal bridge as he knew it. But to think that it acts that way because it's incomplete is an interesting thought. If it is a liminal bridge and just needs direction, then..."[/i] She took the jewel back from Ariel and looked at it again, her voice lowering [i]"Perhaps... yes... my first thoughts go to using it as some sort of way to communicate, or to use magicka to observe something from a distance. It gives back what you put in, after all. If you were to send magicka to a place where it might return in a different form, then... well, anything is possible."[/i]

Juseich mumbled to herself for a moment, then stopped and looked up at Ariel and Meesei with an inspired smile, [i]"I might not know whether the Psijics had a particular purpose for this, but if it turns out that what Ariel has suggested is true, then I think this could serve many purposes."[/i] Her smile turned into a laugh and her eyes widened in realisation, [i]"Perhaps, heh, perhaps that was the Psijics' secret all along!"[/i] She held the jewel up and spoke through a wide grin, [i]"All this time the focus has been on what it [/i]does[i] and not what it [/i]could[i] do! Oh, all of the sense it suddenly makes."[/i] She exhaled and closed her mouth, before standing up from her seat. [i]"In any case, I should investigate this further, but another appointment is nigh and I must say my farewells."[/i] She walked around the table and shook both Meesei's and Ariel's hands in turn. [i]"Thank you very much for this insight, both of you. Goodbye to you both, and good luck with your shop, Ariel."[/i]

Ariel stood up to shake her hand and smiled in return. She at least recognised the goodbye and returned her own. [i]"Goodbye, thank you,"[/i] Ariel said in Jel. With that, Juseich walked off and signaled a guard to see them out of the keep. She had a distinct spring to her step.

As they walked, Ariel was so confused that she forgot all about the deed she was carrying. She still wasn't quite sure what conclusion Juseich had come to, but it seemed like a good impression had been made at the very least. "Um, so Meesei, what did she say just then? Something about communicating, observing? I heard the Psijics mentioned again. What of that enchantment?"
