Casting awareness? Seth was wondering if she was going to mention that sometime. If her ability to create structures with her ice magic was anything like his crystal formation ability, then she should have been able to tap into her own magic once again to check the area where it had been place. Now she had obviously said she could, but he would have realized it anyway had she not. Nevea focusing her mind upon her ice (and therefore the magic that had been fused with them) had been noticed by Seth since he was doing the same thing to examine Nevea's magic. Both had merged with little to no trouble and were showing no signs of trying to expel each other. What a relief. "No need to further explain the process," Seth told Nevea. "I'm familiar with it and have often made use of it from time to time. Good to know you can do the same..."His attention turned towards the Hephaestus kids working on the rotation mechanism. They were working speedily and were just about done with an early model, and knowing them, they would then get to improving it to be more effective. He was glad that this entire meeting was going well, no ridiculous arguments over petty things had occurred. Nevea also had been open to the idea of working with his magic, something which even most of his half-siblings were uncomfortable with. Now there was someone willing to use anything at her disposal to succeed at a given task!"Looks like the forgers are doing well in their work. Is there anything else you would like to suggest, Nevea?"
Nevea stopped as Seth began to speak, and then nodded when he finished, understanding. "Splendid," she said, simply. "Explaining all of that would have been rather tiresome." She hadn't been looking for Seth's awareness, and her mind had dismissed his presence, so she hadn't noticed him when casting her awareness. However, it was fairly fortuitous that he would be used to it and could do it already.
She, of course, knew exactly what kind of magic Seth wielded, but of its nature she cared not. She would use anything she had at her disposal to accomplish her ends. She certainly wasn't scared of dark magic. She in fact rather liked it; it did useful things that nothing else did right. What she felt of the magic when casting her awareness sent not chills down her back.
"Currently, nothing," she said, in response to his question. "Although I do hope they'll be able to insert the mechanisms. I think they will, but they should just make sure. On that topic, a few of you should also start working on the firing mechanism, so that that and the rotation mechanism can be designed in tandem. Otherwise there may be problems with compatibility." With that, the campers working on the rotation mechanism joined with a few others to begin working on the connection of both.
