Meesei responded just as cordially as Karl, giving a slight nod of her head. "Thank you, and it is great to finally be able to meet my daughter's mate, more than just in passing. She has told me much about you."

Keeping her hand in Lunise's, Meesei walked with her to approach the couple. Meesei did not want to make a point to bring up Karl's eyesight, but she supposed that he would be able to see more clearly if they were all closer together. "I will say, I have been looking forward to this evening all week. I am sure I will have a wonderful time sharing all of Sabine's embarrassing childhood stories." Meesei teased, nudging Sabine slightly. 

"At any rate, now that we are all here, shall we start getting the fire going here, or teleport somewhere else for our dinner? Did you speak to Karl about those places we were considering earlier, Sabine?" Meesei asked.

Marcaille ran her hand through her hair as she thought. "Making them quiet? Well, muffle enchantments might work, but I have never even attempted to enchant an entire automaton before. I do not know that anyone has. That would likely make for an interesting line of research, but now is not the time for experiments. Even if we could enchant the automatons and get them working silently in the short term, we would not know if anything about the automatons' own inherent enchantments might end up breaking our magic. If that happened in the middle of their infiltration, it could be a disaster." 

"Ri'vashi...does not like it." She commented after a long breath. 

Saras, after fairly long consideration, finally chimed in. "We need to use the tools available to us; it would be foolish not to. No magic is inherently evil, only its applications. In this case, we would be applying it to a good cause. Our cause. I am sure we can get the corpses together, but getting mages from the clan to help may be difficult. I am sure there are...other necromancers among this clan, but that is not something to which most mages will openly admit."
