  âč  TO DEEM HER FINDINGS UPSETTING WOULD NOT CUT IT; with a petite sigh & but a single motion of her right, she removed worn aetherial device, allowing teal eyes to blink against the sunlight. âtwas certainly an uncomfortable feeling; to be immersed in nothing but black, tracing swift movements of aether âtill her eyes would burn. At least WHAT she had discovered matched with oneâs bold prognosis. -- bothersome, nay worrisome, truly. Gods, what was it that upset the land so? What caused the very tremor coursing underneath their feet / aether to run dry & wild creatures to fall into frenzy? Assumptions could not be made; not yet, while her thesis was based on thin facts at best.Â
   â so we are in agreement then? â cue a turn on her heel, glance cast over to current companion. While she preferred to work alone, sometimes it could help to have another scholar by her side. Thancred had his obnoxious contacts, dear Yda Papalymo; âtwas only fair to let her have someone to order around [not that she needed the antecedentâs blessing anyway, pah!].-- the arcanist guild had been kind enough to select a suitable addition. Indeed, who knew more of aether & its drainage if not those who performed such a thing day by day?  â whatever it is that corrupts this very area is not too keen on simply leaving. -- evidently so. â  @sylvabledâ / starter call
