"The staff is an exceptional tool of Aedric power." Meesei remarked. "But it is still a tool. When in use, it has no will beyond your own, and it will mean what you decide for it to mean."

Meesei had approached a table on the far side of the tent, which had a few pages of what appeared to be her notes, and a few unlabeled books strewn about. She started to organize the loose pages and stack up the books neatly as she spoke. "If I am being honest, I am curious to see what you will be able to accomplish with it. Your approach to magic has always fascinated me. No mage with even an ounce of creativity is completely identical to the ones who taught them. Honestly, I wish we had more time just to share our results of our own studies. How have you fared with the notes I gave you on Psijic magic? I have been looking forward to hearing your insights."

Ahnasha smiled softly, giving Fendros a quick kiss before finally standing to her feet in front of him. She let out a yawn and raised her arms up above her head as she stretched out her muscles. Still, she did not seem to be in a particular hurry to go anywhere. In terms of remaining preparations, all she [i]needed[/i] to do was allot enough time to get outfitted in her new armor. Ahnasha was usually one to rely on magical protection, rather than physical armor, but based on the last time she tried on the dragonscale armor, she could say she was impressed with its craftsmanship. It was not too restrictive, especially her light armor, and all of their armor had been enchanted to their individual specifications. 

"Well, whatever happens, everything will [i]certainly[/i] be different tomorrow. In one way or another." Ahnasha remarked. "I think I'm looking forward to the freedom we'll have. Say we succeed, and we both live to tell about it. We can do [i]anything[/i] we want after this. Power, coin...we have it all. I'll admit, Kaleeth's talk of settling down has sounded tempting to me from time to time, but I think you know that I can't sit still for too long. If it weren't for the serious, life-and-death stakes of everything we've been doing, this past decade would have been a lot more fun. Exploring the jungles and deserts of Elsweyr, sailing the Topal Sea, braving the swamps of Black Marsh, navigating High Rock's mountains, and delving the depths of Dwemer ruins. And that's all just been in the span of a handful of years. Just imagine what we'll be able to do with the next few hundred?"
