The magic at play here was wild and unruly with an insatiable hunger. However, he couldn’t help but wonder what the Grand Duchy. The pinnacle of magical innovation, would want with a corrupted place like this. [i]Who are our employers[/i] It was strange, very strange. The heart, it required a new champion, a child is what the fool called it. Vetreus would see Penny come beside him, and begin…cleaning? Vetreus stared at her with a deadpan look, finding her actions wasteful. The foundation of the shack was failing, vines and mold running rampant within the wooden structure. Even the walls itself seemed unsturdy and incapable of defending against the outside elements. [color=fff79a]“Your duty is admirable but this is hardly a time for cleaning. If you’re still up for maid duties after this, this little one could use a caretaker after her meals.”[/color] Vetreus pointed at his dragon companion, his expression showing a bit of reluctance. While he read, he kept an open ear out for the conversation between Severin and Esther. It was an interesting one for sure, the man knew his stuff rather well. A sit down conversation with him seemed like an interesting debacle for the future. Vetreus would close the book and lay it back in its place before moving towards the heart stone. The use of mana in this manner seemed barbaric to the draconian but also oddly riveting, tantalizing to the artisan within. Mana was fluid, only limited by its wielder. His eyes would glow as he appraised the heart stone, attempting to gather more information from the artifact. [color=fff79a]“The heart stone reminds me of a mana parasite, in search of the perfect host to satiate its hunger. At the moment, it’s dormant.”[/color] [Hider=actions] Use appraisal C on the heart stone to gather more info. [/hider]
