“Er….” Kathlin began as she looked up at the High Elf. “….No, that’s alright Mister Dal’dieb. I think letting you do that would be a violation of my Hippocratic oath”

“Besides, it wouldn’t work.” Liaena sniffed from his other side. “Firstly, I doubt this shop sells anything strong enough that could overrule my potion. And secondly, we would somehow need to point it in your direction when it’s big enough to literally survey the entire city”

The girl peered up at Sharon, looking obviously disgruntled with his remark. “Also, how are you responsible for that thing running around? You can split blame between Sharon and….whoever blew up my satchel earlier”

“Was that a ‘yes’ to my blessing a weapon?” Kathlin enquired as she stepped towards the pike Serphia had been eying up – what it was doing in a potions and engineers store was up for debate, but irrespective of that there it was. She leaned over to gingerly pick up the weapon to hold it at completely the wrong angle before giving the room a self-conscious look.
 
“Well. I’ve never actually, er, done this before….so please, er, bear with me”

With that, the girl closed her eyes and cleared her throat, before beginning to sing in a soft melodic tone, in what appeared to be latin. While there were no extravagant movements or gestures it was evident that whatever she was doing had power in it, as a faint and slowly strengthening glow appeared around her and coalescing on the weapon blade. 

“Once she’s done with that, I’ll take her and get us into demon-bait mode” Liaena remarked off-handedly. “The Gryphon master owes me a….”

The girl paused at this, as though trying to determine exactly what adjective she should use before settling on the most socially acceptable. “…favour”

“Although – where to? In terms of where you want to fight her, there’s a mountain range to the north of here that isn’t populated except from Knolls and other stuff like that” Liaena glanced at Serphia at this with a questioning look. “Other than that, the countryside is littered with villages so I don’t see where you’re going to go easily”
