Kolonis had arranged the runes in her lap, scarcely aware of the events occurring around her, though it would have been very hard for her not to miss the dramatic sacrifice of the bear. Yet she didn't let that event or any other distract her from the task at hand, which, from an outside view, was scrutinizing a dozen or so small stones in her lap and rearranging them periodically. It was only when she was satisfied with the results that she looked up to find the lizan offering her a rabbit for sacrifice. She hadn't given much thought to her contribution, if anything; statues such as the one before the group were odd constructs often designed for a purpose, and the exact purpose and quality of its design were still not entirely clear. Still, she smiled and took the rabbit with both hands and offered Kythe a smile. 

"Thank you," she said to him while holding a hand over the little creature's head. She gently pressed down, filling it with feelings of warmth and comfort, both of which were total lies in the outside world, but irrelevant to the weak-willed and quickly satisfied animal that curled and began sleeping in her arms. The others had been very brutal in her sacrifices. She, for whatever reason, was quite the opposite. Lifting her hand from the rabbit's head, Kolonis gathered the runes and returned them to an obscure pocket on her thigh.

The runic mage stood, rabbit still in her arms, and approached the statue. It was still an object of her suspicion, but she was satisfied it would have no irreversible ill effects. Perhaps, if the repayment it gave for the sacrifice was sufficiently useful, she would attempt to make its power more permanent, though she knew such an effort would be long and complicated.

She took up the rabbit by the neck, still maintaining the light illusion that left the rabbit motionless and happy, and with a tight squeeze of her fist, engulfed the figure in flames that quickly disintegrated the rabbit into ashes that fell from her fist to the ground. Immediately the statue gave her its knowledge, but she remained stoic as she turned around and returned to the same seat as before.
