[code]Attunement could possibly have an effect on your prime essence.[/code]

Ciara summoned her Adapa, reading a note from Otis once, then twice. Her face immediately turned into a scowl. If it wasn't one thing, it was another. Now she'd have to figure out ways of mitigating the effects of the golden pillar.

Her Adapa fizzled into thin air as she scooped up her borrowed sword, Trying to shake the message and the dark undertones of ‘Scented Pawns’ from her system, before she followed Michael to the Primal Quarter.

It intrigued her that it had its own special section. What intrigued her further, was the book Michael picked out. ‘Tanglous’. She ran her hand over the cover, enjoying the weight of the book in her hands. 

As Michael detailed the spells he knew the book contained, veiled excitement slipped through her eyes, Ciara holding on to every word.

Something [i]useful.[/i]

As Michael walked away, Ciara was already flipping through the pages, glancing gratefully back at him. [b]“Thank you, this is perfect.”[/b]

Perfect it was. She didn't had time to sit; she stood there, completely engrossed as she found the ‘Timber’ spell Michael had detailed. Her face immediately reflexed into a frown. ‘Kindness’ essence. That would be a challenge for her. Might as well skip to using her plants for the spell.

She then flipped further through the book, reading up on ‘Puff’ and ‘Deep Breathing’, wondering what made them tick, what caused them to function, to spring forth into life.  

Before she heard breathing, rolled her eyes, and slipped her book under her arm. Like two lasers, her eyes focused on Gulliver. Striding over to the opposite side of the library, she decided to address the elephant in the room.

[b]“Hello, [i]Gulliver[/i]. I imagined you'd be in the clinic far longer, given how bad we roughed you up when you decided to try and [i]play god[/i].”[/b]

She leaned on the table, pressing a hand against the wood grain, chin gesturing to his book.

[b]“I'd ask about what you're reading. But I have a different question. Something far more pressing…”[/b]

Her head tilted. [b]“Why're there two Gullivers walking around campus?”[/b]
