Tsane knows better than to accept the gifts of the Outside. 

Cair snatches it from the Shadow's palm before its talons fully open.

"Cair will do no such - oh damn it, [i]Cair [/i]-" said Tsane.
"What?" said Cair, shoving the Charm inside her coat pocket. "That's a dangerous artifact. Someone could get hurt."
"Go and help Kalentia," said Tsane through gritted teeth.
"For real?" said Cair, glancing back over her shoulder. "She's got a patient, Tiss. She's happier than the Dark Dragon rolling in trash. Uh, don't tell either of them I said that."
Tsane tossed her head, then pocketed her book and pulled her hair back out of her face, binding it behind her head with a purple and black scrunchie. Then she folded her arms (ow) and set herself in a solid, unyielding pose. "I don't work for you, Shadow," she said(1). "I'm not going anywhere. Not unless you tell me what you're doing here."

[hider=(1): A note on Fear]
Of course she's afraid. It's huge. It's deadly. It has its own section of the Library. She is practically inside its mouth. Any moment the realities of size and strength could creak through the flimsy barrier of social convention and the full weight of this monstrous beast could crush down upon a defenseless mage and there would be nothing she could do about it. It tells her to fear not? It must be [i]mad[/i].

But that's why she took this job in the first place.

Sure, she loves lizards and the various other small creatures that fill out the entry level bestiaries. But that's nothing compared to the intoxication of field testing. To stand before one of the most dangerous creatures in the world and bet everything on a type affinity weakness, to trust entirely in the words of an ancient and mouldering tome that took three weeks to dry and restore enough to become legible, to borrow the confidence of a true Hero - it's like being in the eye of a hurricane. Her heart is pounding, she can barely breathe, but survival depends on keeping the show without flinching. It's like skating on air, flying only as long as you can ignore that you can't. It's the biggest rush.
