[color=f7976a]"Fascinating."[/color] Victoria thought aloud, leaning forward to get a better look at the small triangular piece within Grimar's hand.

While the design of the artifact didn't exactly impress her, it was, however, it's purposeful functionality that intrigued Victoria's curiosity. As Grimar has explained, the piece served as a compass of sorts, pointing - glowing actually - to the direction of whatever prize it was bound to. Victoria pondered on what kind of magical spell or runic sequence that could allow the piece to operate over vast distances and yet accurately, in a general sense, point back towards its place of origin. Part of her wanted to take the thing apart but she quite well knew better than to dismantle the thing. At least not until after they had successfully raided the location it was bound to anyway.

[color=f7976a]"I think I am already quite prepared,"[/color] Victoria gestured to her backpack, which carried much of her necessities, including her own tent and extra clothing, [color=f7976a]"although the money would serve us well in stockpiling on provisions."[/color]

After Avala and the unnamed half-beast presented their opinions, Victoria contemplated one which destination they should choose first. Avala already established themselves as someone who was very experienced with the Northern lands and having his knowledge on hand would be certainly beneficial. The half-beast, although not being entirely upfront, had implied that their ability as a walking cooler would perhaps be useful in the South where the climate would be much warmer. Victoria, however, didn't really have much to offer in either department, though having been on expeditions in both directions, she should very well say she knew what to expect. 

Her train of thought suddenly broke when and voice manifested behind them. Turning around, Victoria was meet with two long ears that nearly reached her height. Her gaze eventually traced the furry protrusions down to a Nubian girl who had asked them if she could come along. Victoria briefly looked over her shoulders to both Avala and the chilly half-beast who also likely took notice of the Anubite as well.

[color=f7976a]"I don't see why not,"[/color] Victoria simply replied although she continued to study the girl up and down, [color=f7976a]"you know what we're doing, yeah?"[/color]
