Dremmcik walked slowly up to the woman and sighed, seeming to release some of the hostility in his voice. He the squatted down on his haunches to where he was eye level with her. Taking off his mask and setting it next to Morgan he then rested his arms on his knees. To the woman, the young man was wrapped head to toe in bandages, like a leper or a mummy of sorts. The single area of skin that showed was around his right eye, his other was completely covered along with the rest of his face. Whatever ailed him, could be seen starting to creep from the edge of the bandages and was close to his eye. only the area around his eye had been unscathed so far. But that eye, while his voice was  less hostile, his eye seemed to contain nothing but pent up aggression, and it was deadlocked with hers. And he stayed there for several seconds, increasing the tension and hopefully toying with the fear he hoped she had felt.

"I'm inclined to slightly believe you," he said almost calmly and with a hint of feign forgiveness. However he shook his head ever slowly as he finished his statement in a more sinister tone, "but I'm [i]not[/i] inclined to trust you."

With that he stood back up, picking up his mask again looking down at her. "I will not kill you. I suppose you have answered as much as you could." He dusted himself off and placed his mask back on. "Though, I can't have you attacking us again. If what you say is true, then you shouldn't have to stay in the shadows about it. We will talk to Cilia, see if she sees it the same way, which I highly doubt. Till then," he turned to Terra who was seemed to be a little bit closer than he had last remembered, "Terra, if you could nullify her so we can be done here." 

Terra, who had since inched closer to Dremmick in case something happened, let out a sigh of relief when she heard it was finally over. Looks like she didn't have to pop Dremmick in a bubble after all. She floated on her staff over to the lady and hopped off. The staff floated into her hands and the crystals popped out from both ends as she grabbed it. The two quarters of her half of the crystal then joined together into a half. She looked down at the woman and slightly pitied her. Whether her story was true or not, to lose your magic is a terrible thing. "Please understand," she said before giving her crystal the command, "Crystal form: thief." It was ironic, a woman who was studying magic suppression getting a taste of the real thing, complete nullification.

The crystal then went mostly transparent as she swept her arm gracefully in the direction of the woman. "You may feel a bit weak at first," she added as the crystal phased through the woman, spawning a crystal shard in a dark onyx color reminiscent of her spikes from earlier, and sealing her power inside of it. The shard, followed by the now separated crystal then floated over to where Terra was as she put it away in a pouch, and the crystals back into place in the staff. "Alright then," she said, not sure as to how she felt about the whole confusing situation, "what now."

"That's simple," Dremmick said, and oddly cheery again he turned toward Morgan, "Unless you have anymore business with her, Morgan, turn her loose and lets head home. Don't want to keep Cilia waiting."
