MR/BE: Safety circle split off

[Chambers]

The arrow had his questions to ask and rightly so, but it really was a conversation for the two of them. His only contribution to the consideration of a dead zone for the cells was not ideal either. "A master of prime can set one up but once again the circle's wards might not allow for it." Grey area that, would the wards count it as something interfering with the circle? There was a good chance. "Or for all we know the circle has someway to activate one." A long shot but given the power and intricacy that had gone into the great work that clearly involved prime for the cloaking if nothing else it was not beyond possibility.

As for Skye's breakdown. "Almost. I need something retrieved from the cottage in question, that way with a little work we should be able to view what we need from somewhere much safer and with far less pressure of being disturbed." Which in turn limited the time they needed to spend at the scene of the incident. "But then yes hide as much of the presence of a mage being present as we can." As for the check in. "I will be on sight booking a different cottage to give us a good reason to be there overnight if need, provide a place for the two of you to operate out of." Having a place and person they could point to as a reason gave a degree of credible deniability.

The suggestion for Thirteens role in things did fit what she had shown to be good at. "Oh. I hadn't considered that but yes not a bad idea." Turning to the Enchantress. "If you wouldn't mind more information on the circus would be very helpful." Not that he expected to find a written confession floating about but you never know.

Blood was going to be an issue eventually? "Do we know how many mages are part of the circus and if they know space or fate magic?" Not every mage did and even then not always to a useful proficiency. "Regardless yes that is far from ideal, there is no reason we need to stay in the cottage we book out overnight once the task in done. I can return in the morning to check out. Or book it for week to make coming and going seem less suspicious." And staying in the circle would be safer for the arrow.

Main thread is at 30 days, this side thread will play out to its 30 day mark then the scene will close.

He nodded with interest, internally glad he had asked being as Thirteen had a wealth of knowledge about them. “Excellent, I shall make sure to look out for them. Things will get complicated if they decide to reappear but we have a little advantage on them now.” He continued to listen to Thirteen on her comments on the security. “That is thankful, it will mean that the job should be a bit easier then first assumed with that in mind. With the cottage secluded by trees that will help greatly with an escape and obscuring any vision that is going on inside. Plus the lack of cameras is a bonus as well.”

Now seeing Skye approach, and he turned his attention to her as she began to offer her comments on the situation. He did not butt in on her suggestions for Thirteen's assignments as it was not his place to. Skye's Concern for himself was not unexpected, she did offer some concerning thoughts about his blood. Oh god don't make me worry about that now, I was just putting it behind me. At the end of the day, Skye spoke with logic and reason he could not deny, he was walking around with a target on his head because of the events of the wax work. All he could do was offer some words to show that he was ready for what was to come. “If he shows his face then we will burn that bridge when it approaches us. I will have you at my side and that will give me confidence to face any foe.” It might not give the right impression to some but here is hoping it shows courage and not foolishness.

His attention drawn back to Chambers. “If that is the case then perhaps we should consider an external locations for a set of cells. Again something to look into for later but I can do a little shopping if the suggestion falls well with people.” Chambers question about the Circus and its mages. “To my knowledge the arcanum they know is unknown, they did not seem to employ any when we scuffled, and did not employ any when we refused them.”

In what had become an interesting meeting of mages and shared problems dangers from both without and within readily apparent and in need of resolution the mages gathered leave to set plans in motion and resolve or at least minimise as many if the risks involved as possible.
