Rex nods. "Aye. Any sort of magic will fuel it. Runic magic's only downside is the incredible difficulty it is to create them. All you are doing is... Flipping a switch. I can see you of course." He nods. "Since it's fueled in my own magic, and I have a counterspell for it, but it would take a strong magical being to directly influence you." He heads to the door. "Come along, just follow me and stay relatively quiet, as the sound [i]will[/i] give you away."

Leading the way he takes the normal path, the enchantment holding well, Rex smiling inwardly as this would be the newest defensive utility spell in recent history, since the Seidkonnas refused to share their actual runes. He would do a bit more testing before showing Jivarn, who was waiting for them.

"Good evening, I assume you brought the hunter with you?" His eyes drifted around Jay, never settling on him, the old vampire's eyes glowing softly after having recently fed. "I can sense an odd ancestry around him."

"A mystery we will naviagate later, Councilman. How fares the Capitol."

"That old fool demands I attend the Council and have my associates arrested for speaking out against him." He shrugs, a calm expression on his face. "I told him he was free to attack the Sanctuary Cities that are protected under centuries of written laws, whereas his own "rule" is only kept by the unwritten [i]tradition[/i] that the King be half a century, since there is no precedent. Alas, I have some interesting news that I am sure you will find... Uplifting. I left the letter on your desk. I am going out, I do believe it's a good day for a walk." He looks directly into Jay's eyes and winks, grinning. "After all, a Hunter lingers in my city, need to make sure they aren't up to trouble." He bows to Rex and leaves.

"Gah. And to think he would have been my stepfather." Rex grouses. "Teased me relentlessly all day about having you come over here."

Zion smelled the blood as the wind shifted his way, and he slowed, using his abilities to stealh quietly around Vex. As he spoke, he used his magic to appear from all sides. "I see a halfling before me... It's unusual... We seem to be getting a lot of you lately. Who is your Sire, child of Blood and Magic." His voice was firm and grandfatherly, as if he was sitting on the porch as Vex came to visit. He could tell she was not one of the Kin he was used to seeing, her stance told him that. She was trained, not as much as he, but he was cautious.
