He trailed off as Biblio, for his part, greatly appreciated the attention Isilfarrel gave him. The bone spider skittered over her robes, settling upon her shoulder as a comfortable perch. "...personally, I have to agree with you. If one was hoping to protect oneself, destruction would be more useful as opposed to the healing arts. At least, if one used it in the usual sense." Silias focused his gaze away from Biblio to focus on Isilfarrel's eyes. "Indeed, it all comes down to the use of the magic in the end - as well as its user. How much power is necessary for what they need to do? How much more are they willing to use?" Silias outstretched his arm, palm upwards. Biblio gently rubbed his side on the High Elf's neck, an affectionate gesture one would more commonly associate with a cat than a spider, before hopping into Silias' hand. As the familiar retreated into the sleeve of Silias' coat, the human broke the pause. "I honestly find this all fascinating. Perhaps later we can continue our discussion, possibly along with the teifling with whom you dined last night at the feast. And before you ask, the fact that you were also dining with the self-proclaimed Prince Shamir was the main reason it caught my eye." Silias's body language indicated staring off into the middle distance for a moment. "His willingness to share every detail about his background to literally everyone he entered into a conversation with has made him a bit of a celebrity." He brought his focus back to the High Elf. "...anyways, I won't keep you preoccupied. I consider it a minor miracle that the Headmistress hasn't opened the door already, but I think it's probably time for that spell to run out of aether." Silias nodded his head respectfully. "Best of luck with your meeting, Mornelis." He then began to walk past her to leave, and Biblio peeked out of his coat's collar to give a farewell wave to the elf.
