Patiently, she waited for him to finish, pushing the tome to the side in order to start the next. “ Nothing of the sort, in fact. Although, I’ve been working on a POTION for their poison. It’s taking time, but it was REQUESTED of me when this all began. No, this defense is a shield. One for cover, to house whole CITIES in, should they need to be. “ Silence befalls her again as her fingers drag across the uneven surface of the pages in front of her. They were LUCKY to find these, as fate would have it. “ And this one will help you offensively. You’ve retrieved both sides of the coin fortunately. In fact, I don’t think I’ve seen anything of the sort, as far as I’m aware. This one speaks of storms. Though, it should be TESTED first. I’m unsure if we would have to undergo it’s DANGERS as well as our enemy. “ Her head turns towards where she last heard his footsteps. “ It goes without question some of my people should learn these and begin to filter out those of us who are aiding you now. My question is, how much time would you give us? “

❝ Both sides of the coin, you say? ❞ Obviously, he affirms to himself. How FORTUNATE for him, his fellow soldiers and all of Quan Tan, indeed! ❝ That is most welcome news. ❞ Had he been more prone to succumbing to the wiles of excitement and such, he might have leapt with joy. Seung is a man of composure, however, so he allows himself only a smile and exhilaration’s trill to touch his voice. The counselor’s query does beg the continuance of tranquility on his end though, spurring him into thought preceded by a low thrum of contemplation. ❝ Hm ... I agree, I will say first. Yet as to how much time I would give you, I dare not say. I would not have your people rush to a fault, though haste is to be made. In the most optimistic scenario, how long do you imagine your people may need to further decipher and test these? ❞

his head moved away from the smaller male before him, taking in the information he just received. Quan Tan, he was a long way from home. a clear frown was written on his rough face, even under that beard it was clear. ”clearly, yes.” he answered calmly, giving a soft ‘hmm’ which almost sounded like a growl while he brought his hand behind his neck, giving it a few rubs before lowering it again. ”these lands… aren’t they free to roam through??” it sounded like a defence, mainly because the other claimed he was lucky to be in their realm. and who were these serpents, only time would tell.

❝ I’m afraid not. That is, only under certain circumstances. ❞ Natives may go where they please, with the exception of active war zones–––– but those that do not call Akavir their home ( or Quan Tan specifically, once again depending on circumstance )? Nay, they need CLEARANCE first. ❝ Under yours, we would need to bring you to our minister of public safety though—— which need not be harrowing at all, if you would be so kind as to cooperate. ❞ A pause is cautiously taken to peek past the figure towering over him. ❝ Have you any companions with you, by chance, or do you remain alone? ❞

Upon hearing the soft ‘pat’ of tomes and paper resting upon her wooden table, Rinzen REACHES out to take one. The silent room fills with the soft crinkling of old pages, dust gently CASCADING down off the cover, a chalky film covering her fingers that she immediately wipes off. It was a skill she had taken much time in learning, the DECIPHERING of text with only touch - each word having it’s special groove in a page, yet it all depended upon those who wrote it. What PRESSURE their pens put the ink to the page, what their personal handwriting had been like. ‘Twas not an EASY task, learning to read this way, just as it was not easy to learn to read it with open eyes. Her patience had been great and paid off IMMENSELY, as shown by her position upon the Counsel. “ If you were looking for defense - this one will be of great use to you. “

❝ I was looking for anything that would give us an edge—- DEFENCE included. ❞ Indeed, neither he nor his men are too picky when it comes to matters aiding their war effort. The Tsaesci are vicious and unrelenting, thus they should be no less than that in turn. He knows that enchantments could be of great use to achieving that goal. ❝ Defence in what manner, though? Increased defensive value of the armour, or something to counter the Serpent people’s poison? ❞ Seung draws nearer again, voice growing a little more quiet with every step. Though he would not call himself familiar with counselor Surat, he knows of her condition. He is not an inconsiderable man, so he takes it into account—— as he should, especially when filing requests like these. ❝ Or something else altogether that my mind can comprehend, with its lack of understanding of magic? ❞

What was once INDIFFERENCE became interest as she heard the word ‘new’. A WEAKNESS of hers, as it has always been, to discover things which others haven’t. To be the FIRST to touch, to utter words, to speak truths no one had known existed. A familiar fire that hadn’t breathed in some time flared within her soul, shown by a STRAIGHTENING of her shoulders and a now attentive nature. Even Chet, sitting in the corner of the fire lit room ruffled his feathers in response. “ Then I ASSUME you came here with the scrolls and tomes in hand. “ Her hand gently tapped the table surface next to her as an indication for him to set them down there. “ I’ll need a few days to study them, but if you want my IMMEDIATE thoughts, you need only wait a few minutes. “

Although her COMPOSURE remains steely as ever, Seung is quite certain he just stirred to life a spirit of interest in her. The two tomes and complementary scrolls he conjures by drawing both hands from behind his back where he had held them thus far, thereafter placing them on the table upon approach. ❝ Then take these minutes. I will wait patiently. ❞ Patience is indeed one of his most prominent features, so both hands return to the small of his back and he wanders toward a nearby ... set of whatever it is ( artefacts, perhaps? ) to idly look at.

❛ You’re right. You don’t. A quandary which ELUDES me, but I digress. As for magic and warfare? While magic is so much more than just a TOOL to slay others . . it’ll do the job. What is it you want to know specifically? ❜

❝ I know it is, but this aspect of it could very well turn the tide of this war to our favour if used properly–––– or so I have calculated. Some of my men have found scrolls and tomes containing new enchantments. We cannot decipher them properly, thus we are hoping you can and will so we may find more ... effective ways to combat the Tsaesci, to start. ❞

❛ You MISUNDERSTAND me. You are not unwelcome here, I’m simply curious towards what the General is doing in my quarters. My belief is you have more IMPORTANT matters at hand. ❜ – – –// starter for @battlebraced

❝ Yet the finer details of these matters are obscure to you still. ––– I have no intention of using up much of your time, in any case. I just had some questions about ... magic and utility in terms of warfare, considering we don’t have many mages around. ❞

“aye, indeed. as if THE GODS them self where at work.” he answered, while he let his arms cross before his chest and think his options through. as long as these soldiers were giving him no harm he wouldn’t give it in return. “none.” and he TRULY didn’t. the land seemed, for the most, like tamriel. but there were some rare things he had seen, which he had never seen in his own homeland.

HARMLESS though this man may act, the fact remains that law requires his arrest for safety purposes––––– and something tells Seung that this one will not cooperate when that fact is revealed. ❝ You are on the continent of Akavir, ❞ renowned to have a tumultuous past with Tamriel at best, ❝ in the realm of Quan Tan, more specifically—— and you are lucky for it. Better here than the serpent territories. ❞

THERE IS NO SHAME in such a duel for Zhiqiang. Not if he emerges victorious, at least. He has not fought the General thus far and does not know his moves well, which makes it all the more challenging. The attack comes not as a surprise, though, and he steps back and draws up his blade quickly, deflecting the blow. He’s warming up still and thus does not attack in return but stabilises his stance and waits for a second blow, eyes fixed on those of his opponent and a half-smile splitting his lips.

Head tips back as Seung makes his attempt to read his opponent–––– yet he remains idle. The general would strike again ( and again and again ) had he any wish to tire himself out quickly, great as his stamina may be. Considering that is not the case, he smoothly sidesteps and lets his katana follow in its naturally slicing motion along the height of Zhiqiang’s middle. ❝ –––– You are looking very pretty with that smile of yours, but when will you show me your teeth? ❞
