Siimora Zauvand

Unless you have something better to do, you don't have to join me. I just felt you could use the company.

The harbor hosts The Last Stand. If you get there before me, just wait off to the side.

Join me for lunch.

in thought right there in figuring out what's next that could be improved upon. She can use that time of tonight to figure that out.

"Well then, off I go, then. Feel free to continue to peruse what we do have, if any other information suits your fancy." And away she went, lost in thought finally.

Their mumbling earned them an eye roll and a pat on the shoulder.

"Your pursuit of knowledge is admirable. It disappoints me to know we failed in this branch, and perhaps grants me a mind to believe whatever else we may falter on should need revisiting."

It took a lot to not let herself get lost

it is overseen properly and without a hitch."

Her posture adjusts and she stands upright, hands folded over her chest with a quiet huff.

"If you wish to offer any further pushback, now is the time. If not, then I must prepare a meeting for your request."

"You clearly know more than you are letting on about the Mhachi knowledge that we possess, so it is clear you are no mere scholar in the pursuit of knowledge. We would hold you responsible for the direction of this expedition because of such, but as it stands, I will simply assist you in such so

- as a personality, she is work first, herself second, straight-forward and pragmatic but if you chat her up enough, she will soften up and smile a bit more often.
- values intelligence and eloquence in a person
- possesses a very basic daily routine, enjoys the monotony, hates disruptions

- a member of the forum
- workaholic
- spends a lot of time inputting records into systems and drumming up summarization reports from gleaners and adventurers after expeditions, finds pleasure in doing so but overworks herself
- has a side interest in beauty, enjoying putting on makeup often

- a reincarnation of an ancient of the past who is cursed to reincarnate into a new form when old memories are recovered, or when she manages to pass naturally.
- otherwise does not remember her reincarnation cycle, but poses some knowledge only an ancient/Ascian would have, unknowing of why

// I have time now so I get to expo dump a little about her :)

please keep walking and do not turn back. If you wish for me to commit to this, then show me that same energy."

Siimora releases them, standing upright with a knotted brow.

"If your conviction is this strong, I've reason to believe you. But show me you want to fight for that conviction."

the face and chewed them out, but instead,

"If you truly believe there is more there, then why are you fighting AGAINST the very person who can work to make a change happen? A step in a direction that could work to perhaps give us both what we want. More information. If you truly do not care, then

walked back to be gentler, she can't help but ball a fist. It is a tight one for long, loosening when Sophos believe they can just make such a display then run away.

She moves to snatch Sophos' shoulder to force them to spin around. Were she less disciplined, she might have slapped Sophos across

The sudden shift in response has Siimora furrowing her brow. This outburst would otherwise set her off but. She is in uniform. Nearest of her peers, a book shoved at her face of something she can't decipher, nor given a chance to even attempt.

Put bluntly, to be insulted right to her face then

expedition to be lead by you. If, that is, you can convince us that there's a credible source for us having missed something in the areas that Mhachi records would yet still remain."

information retrieval is unfortunately not my call, as that makes sense, but within the same right, the information has to be worth the risk of adventurer's going for what our scholars already couldn't find. If you are so keen on finding something more, perhaps you should propose to the Forum an

She takes note of their words, especially the muttering but. Pays that no heavy mind. Perhaps a perspective difference she is not privy too, but has no encouragement for challenging it.

"Nothing new? If you had already read these, did you believe we had more all of a sudden? Sending people for

I said. Not a lot is known, but you're welcome to indulge in what we have."

Siimora wasn't aware of how much focus was on her from Sophos, occupied in thought and the occasional greetings to passerbys.

It took awhile, going through a couple levels, but she finds the section she remembers. Unfortunately, there's only three books on the shelf that she points out.

"Like

"We're talking about a history of very dangerous mages, and locations that would have this kind of information to even gather is just as, if not more dangerous. We're scholars, not fighters. We can only do so much. And in the pursuit of knowledge, some would give anything to get this information..."

looking lost in thought but otherwise moving to go into the library now as some indirect invitation to follow her. She was likely going to where she suspects these records would be.

"Mhachi records? That's.." Her brows furrow first in suspicion, then in curiosity. Surely they have records of it somewhere, but there isn't many. It would be a rather small section, even if scholars are known to scrounge as much information as physically possible.

She didn't say anything, simply

Typing on this device has become a bit easier now that I have practiced some more. It was less terrible than I initially thought.

potential wrongdoing. There's no way Sophos would attempt anything suspect with someone in Forum attire so, she can let her shoulders drop and just relax.

"Do you mind telling me what information you're looking for? I can likely lead us directly to where you'd need to go, as to not waste any time."

"No, I don't have any better ideas, as this is.. your idea to begin with... If I'm simply to accompany you, then I should see no reason to think of anything otherwise, no?"

Her expression is soft, partly quizzical at what exactly their intentions were, but for now, Siimora suspends any ideas of any

for good reason that you should need *demand* my attention in person."

@masked-mage.etheirys.social

A meeting is called for, impromptu as it is, and that is what she will provide.

Sophos gets Siimora's attention and her being, meeting at the respective spot she was instructed to go to, greeting them in her standard Forum attire minus her hat.

"This had better be

That. Doesn't bode well but I shall do my best, then..

Sigh.. Fine, I won't allow you to self-incriminate then. That is indeed your right.

Fine, I will go.
