Finley frowned. They were not sure how sap would work as blood. They would have to test it first. They were not completely sure they were capable of making a blood talisman. They never had before. It was within their type of fae’s abilities, but Finley had never learned how to do it. 

[color=f14a83]”I will need a sample of your sap to see if I can manipulate it at all then. If it works, I should be able to use it without any additional issues. However, let me reiterate here, I have never done this type of work before. My skills are illusion magic and borrowing magic from others via their blood. I know in theory this is something that [i]can[/i] be done. I have never done it before. I have to do a lot of testing before I can be sure of our safety.”[/color] 

Finley then smiled brightly, teeth shining in a way that made them seem larger and sharper than normal, at Rohan, and held out their hand. [color=f14a83]”Sample, please.”[/color]

[color=D8BFD8]”He isn’t kidding.”[/color] Connie warned Jake about Barty. [color=D8BFD8]”What is supposed to protect people?”[/color] Sure, the professor had said something about the statue, but Connie wasn’t sure that was what Jake meant. [color=D8BFD8]”Jake, I don’t know how you learn, but one of the things I suggest doing before making proclamations is doing as much research first. I think that your intuition about this situation may be accurate, but before we do anything rash, it is best to know as much as possible. Leaping into danger is a good way to get killed or go insane.”[/color] Connie’s voice was calm, but her face, as she looked at Jake, looked worried. She didn’t know how he knew what he was claiming. However, Connie knew that everyone’s magic was different. 

[color=D8BFD8]”Can you explain how you are feeling this? Is it something you can see? Did you feel that before you touched the statue or only after? Is it only the sphere artifact that is sucking up magic, or is the person taking it in, too? If both, is there a percentage amount that you can determine?”[/color] Connie cut herself off, realizing she was asking a lot of questions very quickly, and from what she had gathered about Jake, he would have a hard time answering even the first question. She took a deep breath. [color=D8BFD8]”Don’t worry if you can’t answer the questions. I am just looking to get a sense of how much of this is intuition and how much is reasoning.”[/color] 

She was still sitting on the floor, cross-legged and straight-backed. Her notes were laid out on one of her knees, where she had written several notes about the ongoing conversation. Connie wrote down what Barty told her, putting in quotation marks with a note about it being ‘unreliable tertiary source.’ 

[color=D8BFD8]”What happened to that person? The one you enchanted?”[/color] She asked Barty after she finished writing.
