Qinundrum (Preston/open)

[Preston Salabim]

He would follow.

[Onides Une]

Once off grounds she'd pick a place that would be relatively quiet around a block. She didnt want anything too close to campus where soldiers or officials immediatly would be around.

"This place looks alright." A small deli and bakery shop with it being one of the main streets it would still be busy enough to be public and private enough Oni felt alright talking aloud. She only looked to Preston if he agreed as well before entering the place.

[Preston Salabim]

He'd examine the building before nodding. It should do.

"This looks suitable." He'd say holding open the door for her before following her in.

[Onides Une]

Of course he was being polite it surprised her a bit still. When his hand reached forward the door before hers she gave him a slight grin and a silent thank you. Had been a while since she'd had a door open for her.

She'd pic a corner table immediately and kept her view of the door well in her sights.

Someone was quick to meet them and she'd order a sweet fruit drink and that would be all. Preston might make his order and once he was done she'd get right to business.

"Cousta Bjour..." was all she said to catch his attention. A wide smile grew on her face.

[Preston Salabim]

"Just water, thank you."

He wasn't hungry, but he was eager to hear what the big secret was. Only to find out she sought out the same place he did. Interesting.

"And what do you need there?"

He'd ask, cautiously.

[Onides Une]

"I have reason to believe I need to recover a missing person there. I've been let in on a mystery involving a murder and one witness survives and she is in that place." was her simple answer.

[Preston Salabim]

"Well, do you know how she got there? Or where she is? It is a large anomaly. And a dangerous one. The easiest way to get there would be to follow her footsteps."

Though not the only way. He was working on his own way in. But if she knew of another, well he was all ears.

[Onides Une]

He was right about that point. "She's been missing for at couple of years at least... Not so sure about foot prints... But she is near the monolith of it. Some tall structure i reckon." she'd stop talking as the waitress brought them their drinks and she gave a quick thanks.

"I just dont know if I can survive the place. Finding a safe way in and out i realize could be my biggest challenge so far."

[Preston Salabim]

"That would be the only safe spot in the storm. But years trapped there... she very well may be dead."

He'd take a sip of his water.

"I'm working on a spell that will allow me and those in my proximity to brave the storm unharmed. As long as you are okay with me focusing on my objective, I have no problem escorting you to yours."

[Onides Une]

She thought it over. She couldnt see why it wouldn't work. "I think I can work that out... How long will it take?"

[Preston Salabim]

"I'm not sure. It's a brand new spell using rare components. I am working on it currently though."

[Onides Une]

She nodded to that. "Is their anything I might be able to help with?"

[Preston Salabim]

"Honestly, not that I can think of. I believe I have most of the components I'll need. Now is just finding the correct formula of Aether to attune them to."

If she was trained in magical theory maybe. But he knew for a fact that she was not.

[Onides Une]

"I see." well it looked like she's not going into Cousta B. tomorrow to say the least. She felt short on time for sure but perhaps it wont be too terrible to be a little patient.

"Then I guess its about as good as any plan and better than no plan." one thing she was certain about was their had to be a way to live there she did ask for the living daughter of Ares. She sipped deep from her drink thinking.

[Preston Salabim]

"Sometimes the greatest challenge we face will be the wait to meet our challenge."
