[color=#018c3b][b]"We will see."[/b][/color] Zolya responded to what she accepted as challenge of sorts. It wasn't responsible of the sins of it's creator after all, and killing it just because of what it is... Well, Merllwyn wouldn't have been here either if they'd let their bias guide that hand. If it could be rehabilitated and adapted to society it would make a valuable ally, if not she would at least like to see where the rabbit hole led instead of just dealing with the results.

[color=#0050ff][b]"Merllwyn."[/b][/color] [color=#859abc][b]"Yes, I heard. We're short one mount, guess I'll have a casual jog back."[/b][/color] The wolf skulled man then turned to one of the stags with a great attempt to smile with his fleshless face and patted one on it's back. [color=#859abc][b]"Be careful with your passengers now. I'll give you a good brushing once you're back to the temple."[/b][/color] With that he ran off like a ghost on the wind, searching for a decent enough spot to leap over the wall.

The others soon followed suit as they made their way off the rooftop and rode back to the Stoneworks in mostly silence with Archer lagging behind a bit seemingly to sort out some feelings. That complicated relationship was gonna get even more complex in a couple minutes after all.

With the trio of mages settled into chairs and couch of his living room Raudd went off to grab a pot of coffee and a couple mugs. The others might not need it, but he craved the idea of some hot caffeinated beverage right about now. In the kitchen he came across a reminder about a little promise from earlier in the day in the form of biscuit tin. Part of the content of which promptly ended up on a serving plate which he hauled in just in time to hear Yue finish Archers magnificent speech.

[color=#0050ff][b]"Pfffff. She got you good. I mean who uses a speech from a game?"[/b][/color] He said as he set the plate of white chocolate coated lemon shortbread cookies on the coffee table. [color=#0050ff][b]"They're not exactly a dinner replacement, but I figured I still owe you a couple of these."[/b][/color] After which he filled himself a mug of coffee and went round to the others whether they wanted some too.

[color=#018c3b][b]"I'm not going to deny his warning, though it's more of a situation of the first bit of knowledge is dangerous. And given that you've been able to see for a good while, that's a station long passed. Any more knowledge will only help you from here on out to protect yourself and potentially others. As the power we wield is much more predisposed to be abused, even by those who mean well, than the average deviant's super-powers."[/b][/color] Zolya followed by grabbing one of the cookies and biting of it's 'head?'.

This prompted Raudd to speak up. [color=#0050ff][b]"Before we get into the explanation, let's make some things clear. First, don't let your thoughts roam around, like I've seen you do this morning. If you have questions, things that mill through your mind, or anything like that, air them vocally. There are three sitting here specifically to give you answers, advise, and hopefully quite a bit of peace of mind. Secondly I'm a deviant with superpowers, and while I'm in the same organisation as my sister here and got the same theoretical basis, if you need an outsiders perspective on all... This"[/b][/color] He says while waving his arms at Archer and Zolya. [color=#0050ff][b]"... You can ask me. Same when these two start throwing technical terms around, I know a fair bit despite being the anomaly here... Time to rip the band-aid off sis."[/b][/color] He finished looking at his sister.

Who got caught mid shoving the rest of the cookie into her face. Which was followed by a somewhat hasty chew and swallow with Raudd taking a sip of his coffee to try and maintain a straight face, had to stay professional here... Or at least not make a joke out of it, this was important. [color=#018c3b][b]"Ehrm, yes. In the most blunt of terms the power the three of us use is magic, wielding the mana that is prevalent in our own bodies and the environment around us. The crimson you see while you are using your powers is something we call 'haze', it's a kind of waste product from the process of manipulating the mana into doing our bidding, which over time decays into normal usable mana once more."[/b][/color] She explains while using one of her rings to purposefully create a couple of her own sky blue wisps of haze filled with gibberish runes.
