When BB spoke up about how the gift may not be a particular item, Kathryn wondered a bit more what that might mean? "[color=598527]Are you thinking the room as a whole? Maybe the runes in the floor are a ritual to be finished up and that will give us a useful answer?[/color]" But with her own testings coming inconclusive and lacking a solid answer, it led to Kathryn with more questions than she could answer. Though some of it was protective magic, Kathryn could be unsure much otherwise. Kosara's comment about how the room seemed like an experimentation room sounded all too likely. It reminded Kathryn of the basement of the town building back in Avonshire. She didn't like that all too much at all. To her relief Lizbeth had not noticed anything of note when Kathryn had caused her magical energy to jump from herself to her young squire. Kathryn had even learned a bit about how Lizbeth's magic worked. Though she didn't really understand Lizbeths magic, she was pleased to know that Kathryn hadn't accidentally taken that from her. Even if her undead form did unsettle her. "[color=598527]You seem like you are yourself getting a better grasp on how your powers work. I'm glad at least I didn't mess that up for you.[/color]" Continuing to watch the scene unfold with Victoria removing a stone from the wall, and giving Kathryn a brief thought of "[i]We shall figure out what is going on even if we gotta tear this place down brick by brick.[/i]" It seemed they were getting closer to that point. The magic crystal made Kathryn uneasy. She had no basis for it but it made Kathryn think of cursed magic. Dark, evil, corrupting cursed magic. But that could just be because of how it seems to be tied in with all the other creepy stuff so far. Kathryn gave Kosara a reassuring nod in reply to her comment how she didn't need to get paid to want to help Lizbeth. Kathryn would be willing just to help. "[color=598527]We will help you Lizbeth. And we appreciate anything that can help. And, we will respect what is yours as we go along. Be it keeping you informed, passing things along to you, or informing and including you in our actions as we take this step by step.[/color]" When Kosara gave the reassurance that they would not keep anything they found for themselves without full intentions on returning it, Kathryn spoke of gently but firm. "[color=598527]Kosara is right, we have no intentions of stealing from you. We're on your side.[/color]" Kathryn ended her statement warmly. A soft smile on her face to help give reassurance.
