There was no point in waiting or delaying their job any further. Sheri was of the sort that only introduced themselves once. If Mathias missed her introduction, then she wouldn't say it until the situation called for it.

---

The wealth of the Gold Quarter was no shock to Sheri. Infrastructure and designs made by book elves were often just as flashy. Magic made it easy to glamour a building to any specification. They still had utilitarian cores made out of stone and wood. The same could be said of the Gold Quarter. They were still just rocks, wood, and everything betwixt. The only difference was that the aesthetics were physical rather than magical. It made her think why they would even try to dress their buildings using such archaic means. Magic was simply easier.

The inside of Aelrod's mansion gave the same amount of confusion for her. Why was it so spacious? There was so much room for nothing. He could have filled each room with books. People really only needed enough room to walk in a straight line. Oh well, she thought to herself, the earthen folks were strange people with strange customs. Perhaps he was welcoming to giants. Well, if that was the case, maybe he should have invested in bigger doors.

The general briefing that they gave didn't give too many clues. Helmlenfell and the disappearance of Andar were their only leads. It was probably good to start with one of them. However, that was what a regular investigator would say! Sheri was a mage. She excelled at magic! And she had just the magic for this situation!

Probably...?

[color=FD95BA]"Would you mind if I take some of these parchments? They are a helpful reagent for many of my tracking magics. Oh, and anything that this Andar may have worn."[/color]

She began to search through the silver tome she kept with her. She would turn to a page, pull out a book, then scan the book to see if she had the right magic in a strange and awkward to watch process. Apparently she didn't, considering how she repeated pulling out a new book multiple times.

[color=FD95BA]"If only I had another set of arms..."[/color]

She paused her search to pull out a notepad from the silver tome. With her quill in hand, she jotted down some words.

[color=FD95BA]"To research,"[/color] she mumbled to herself, [color=FD95BA]"extra appendages."[/color]

She paused as she looked at the dark elf, squinting as she did so.

[color=FD95BA]"And... hair... growth."[/color]
