The Sviirog had been, of course, completely unprepared for a test of [i]knowledge[/i], and she wasn't entirely sure how relevant existing knowledge was to the job. But she had answered regardless - taking full advantage of her obsidian goggles and stature to 'borrow' the most common answers from other applicants without being easily caught.

It had been a fairly straightforward series of questions, and none of them required eloquent answers, which made the cheating considerably easier. One-word answers were simple, although Kyik didn't quite comprehend the concepts of [i]Titans[/i] or [i]Born of Ash[/i]. Indeed, her and her people were completely oblivious to the folklore of the surface dwellers, and had never even bothered to question where they had come from in the first place.

When she handed in her paper, though, despite having stolen her answers from others, she was confident that she had passed. Information gathering was an important skill for any sort of 'hunter' regardless of the type. The third question, though, rang in her mind all the way through to the next segment of the examination. [i]What city must you never step foot in, for it is the source of all death and darkness?[/i], she had been asked - and though the written answer was The Burg, it made very little sense to her. Death and darkness were everywhere - no city had exclusive claim over either, and the framing of 'darkness' as a bad thing seemed a little bit insensitive to her cavern-dwelling mind.

Mentions of mind-reading were made, and she wasn't bothered in the slightest at the concept of the invasion of privacy. It wasn't as though she had anything to hide about herself, after all - and she wanted to know if the Arc-Mage were capable of reading intentions and emotions rather than just thought words.

She responded to Varioyn's statements with a shrug, and handed in her paper before moving toward the door. It would be interesting to see how these sun-walking people would perform in the physical tests.
