[color=FF5353][b]"Err...but gold is a really weak metal. Here, look."[/b] [/color]he said before taking out a single gold coin, and immediately bending it between two fingers. [color=FF5353][b]"See? If this were steel, I'd need both hands."[/b][/color] he said, as if that were a completely normal statement to make. Regardless, he bent the coin back into shape after a moment. [color=FF5353][b]"I-I still think The Golden Circle might work, but...if we're going for strength, maybe with a more...non-bendable metal. Maybe Cobalt? Or Orichalcum"[/b][/color] With his suggestion made, Magnus scratched the back of his head, feeling bad now about speaking up when he couldn't offer something better aside from his basic knowledge of metals. [hr] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7EZFS7c.png[/img][/center] [@Eviledd1984], [@Rune_Alchemist] There was a moment of hesitation as Nephele reached the door, a chill down her spine as she thought of what might happen if she'd see Christine dead in there from some unseen assailant, but...regardless of her looming sense of dread, she had to press on. Opening the door, her heart felt at ease, seeing her pacing and alive. Given the mysterious murder of her father minutes prior, Nephele couldn't help but hug Christine once she saw her, before saying: [color=A9A9A9][b]"Maria is still fighting it, but its sword is shattered. I understand if you wouldn't want to, but...this place isn't safe. We need to get you away from this house; Maybe even this town. The manor has decayed suddenly, and no one has heard us this whole time. I fear the worst, but before we investigate, you must be safe."[/b][/color] Taking a step back, Nephele extended her hand out to Christine, claws somewhat chipped from slashing at steel. [color=A9A9A9][b]"I've failed already, but...will you come with us?"[/b][/color] she asked, the same amount of concern in her voice as always. She wasn't a hero, but she was certainly going to try to save Christine, or die trying.
