"I'm afraid that staying on the slums would be a little reckless on our part, Mabel. You see, while I am sure there are good people there, there is also bad people. Those willing to steal, attack, or worse. A modest inn should suffice for the night. We should make all the necessary preparations to continue our journey early in the morning," Nero said calmly, " Let's look for a modest inn, then we can decide what to do after that.
Along the way a group of men whistling at Arkane, thinking him to be a woman. This led to a somewhat amusing response from the Umbra mage. Nero had to resist the urge to chuckle.
"Do be careful, gentlemen, one wrong word and your world could transform into one full of pain. Or that's what people say about Umbra mages, isn't it?"
The Maestra didn't waited for a response, instead she followed the rest of the group, mostly staying where she could keep an eye on Mabel and Jynn.
"Remember, stay together, don't wander off, keep your eyes open. We must be aware of our surroundings, but don't draw too much attention."
Hopefully they would find a modest inn where they could make plans, restock supplies, and rest for the night.

"The dark kind, powerful dark magic that is able to bind the soul to a different outside object after it departed from its mortal vessel," Diane answered Vincent, "with the way the automaton was acting, I'm afraid that, perhaps, someone sealed a soul into it. It takes time for a soul to be aware of their surroundings. Maybe this automaton was confused and scared. This is just a theory, of course."
Diane kept reading for a little while longer, this book contained many more spells and runes. Some dark, others for every day use. She wondered why the Lieutenant had this hidden inside a secret safe. Eventually Vincent gave her Elia's necklace.
"I will give your necklace back once we see your father. Is that acceptable, Elia?" Diane asked, "I can see in your face that this necklace is important to you, but, please, understand that this could be a clue that could help this investigation."
The pale woman stared into Elia's eyes, hopefully she would agree to such terms. She could notice that Elia didn't liked Vincent that much. And she couldn't blame her, but Vincent was trying his best to solve the mystery of the automaton.
"Wether your sister gets involved or not is yet to be determined. If she is, then she will be taken and judged accordingly. If she is innocent, then she has nothing to fear," she said calmly, "If all of you are ready to go, I will take you to the place were the Lieutenant is."
Diane put the book on a pocket inside her cloak, same with the necklace, but not before giving Elia a look that said "You will get it back soon." She was the first to leave after making sure everything was in its original place, and she barely looked at the people outside the office as she made her way out. It would take less than an hour to reach Elvenwind, Vala Hasan's peculiar store. This, of course, was mostly a front to keep her real bussines a secret. On their way to the store, Diane made sure to keep an eye out, just in case someone was following them, once sure that they were safe, she made her way inside the shop. Vala Hassan waited behind the counter, her gentle smile hiding a hint of mischief.
"Welcome to Elvenwind. I am Vala Hassan, how can I be of help?" the silver haired woman said, "Oh, you're back, Miss Corbeau, and you brought guests! Are they, perhaps, interested in browsing my exotic wares?"
The Lich's stare was blank and devoid of any hint of amusement. Vala chuckled at this.
"I'll take that as a no. Are you here to check on your partner, perhaps?" Vala said.
"That is correct, Miss Hassan. As you can see, I have brought those who are helping in the investigation of the rogue automaton. Miss Mako and Vlad from the Court of Somnum. Vincent from the Court of Ignis. And the young lady is the daughter of the Lieutenant," Diane said flatly, "might we be allowed to check on him."
Vala put the tip of her finger over her lips, a thoughtful look on her face, this happened for a few seconds until she smiled.
"The Lieutenant is not in the best state, Miss Corbeau, but I suppose I could allow a time for visitors." Vala answered.
Miss Hassan took her time to close the shop. Making sure they wouldn't be bothered by anyone while the group was there. Once she made sure that the door and curtains were closed, she went to the back room, waving the group in the process. She walked the group along the halls, all the doors locked. She stopped when she reached the Lieutenant's room.
"Now, remember that the Lieutenant was not, how should I put this? In the best condition when you brought him here, Miss Corbeau. I did my best to heal his wounds, but there's only so much that magic can heal," Vala said as she slowly opened the door, "please, take all the time you need."

Incarose was impressed about how Arun and Pali worked together, using their abilities to . . . track? the pair that walked by a couple of minutes before. Arun focused on whatever he was doing, Incarose looking around to see if she could spot the pair.
"I agree on that, Mister Pali. This city is full of people, it can be confusing at times. I suppose that is why I prefer to stay away from such places."
This was not the ful truth. Staying away from people was the best choice to keep them safe from her sudden outbursts, but she wasn't going to tell them about that. There was no need. Finally Arun found what he was looking for, and Incarose quickly followed the yound man.
"He did it! Let's follow Arun, Mister Pali!" Incarose said.
