Ed had to squint a little to see what was he could guess tools and some pots inside of the smaller structure. Though this interested Ed enough to warrant him to keep a mental note that he ought to check it out later. Perhaps in the early hours of the morning? When most of the townsfolk would be asleep and completely unaware of his presence in the town. He would then turn to face Asteria and tell her of his plan of investigating the town in the cover of darkness. But upon looking down, it was apparent that Asteria and Mother Rat was already making a den for them to rest in for the night. Feeling bad that he was not helping earlier, Ed sets down both the ant corpse and his gnarled stick, and moves towards where they were digging and pauses before he could help digging the hole.

His hands still had numerous cuts from his berserking fiasco earlier. If he were to help digging the hole, he would need to make sure his injuries would be able to stay clean or risk getting an infection. [color=chocolate]'Maybe I can make a protective glove with my magic? Hell, a simple protective layer would do the job well enough.'[/color] Ed thought to himself as he looked at the many cuts on his hands. He lets out a quick breath. [color=chocolate]'I won't know if I don't even try.'[/color] Ed then knitted his eyebrows in concentration and looked intensely at his hands. Imagining the incorporeal and invisible force of magic contained within his body to be focused on his hands. Once Ed felt that there was enough of the magic focused on his hands, he then imagined that the magic was forming to the general shape of his hands. Once satisfied with what he was imagining, he finally put what he felt to be the key component to activate the magic from its currently inert and useless form. 

Desire. 

His body, and by extension the system, reacted numerous times to his desire. May it be as simple as activating a skill or to something as complex as jump-starting his evolution as well as selecting what evolutionary branch was most fitting. Desire had been a consistent trigger and that gave Ed a hunch that if he wanted it hard enough, the magic would not be any different. If his attempt would be successful, he would go help the Dire Rat duo and help make the hole bigger.
