Just be on guard. What’s one more in a dungeon teeming with monsters?

@Fractured

This one feels different. Kinda... magey! In a way!

[Fractured]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

Well Noct, we might not be the only ones here. Might as well make the most of our situation. For now, be my eyes and ears once more my old friend.

If there’s another mage here... then we better keep our guard up.

*Noct's one eye glows as Veil begins to speak through him*

Hello! Don't worry I mean you no harm. I'm speaking through my familiar and old friend, Noct whom you've just met. I've just woken up here and don't know where I am. I would be happy to receive some assistance and in turn I'll lend you my skills. Just follow Noct back to me.

*Noct's eye stops glowing and he hoots while he ruffles his feathers*

Obvious trap.

@Fractured

Definitely a trap.

*Noct spreads his wings and glides back regardless while Veil speaks through him again*

Believe me, if I had wanted to attack you, I'd have done it through Noct. Now come, so we can speak face-to-face.

What’s stopping you from coming to us? Your bird got here easily enough.

*Veil continues to speak through Noct*

While under normal circumstances that would make sense, I'm still recovering my mana and healing my wounds. The last thing I remember is I was fighting against the darkness protecting my friends, next thing I know I'm here, Noct is still very active, while I'm barely able to stand.

*Lily and I look at each other for a moment*
...
*Sighs*
Fine. But if this is a trap, we're going to spot it.

*Veil sits down a moment and waits for the two to arrive while tending to his wounds*

I have gashes all over me... I was quite reckless in that fight. I wonder if the rest of Corinth survived.

*Noct perches on Veil's shoulder and nuzzles him.*

Ah, you're here!

*Veil stands up again and you see that he is as injured as he said he was*

As you can see, no tricks. Though I am a mage so I can see why you'd assume as much.

*Red magic circles spin once in my irises, and I scan you up and down for spells, weapons, and traps*

*Your scan reveals a damaged aura slowly repairing itself and cleansing itself of darkness*

Oh, a mage? Ah- But where are my manners! I'm Veil Aerith, court mage of Corinth, and you two are?
