Magnus was a bit sad that Neil wouldn't be coming along, but figured he knew what he was doing. He was glad that Yang was coming along, though, which made Magnus happy. Talia did want people to come...even if it was only one other person, Kyle and Talia's work deserved to be shown off for how amazing it was. Magnus chuckled a bit at the notion of throwing the machine off the cliff by hand, but was glad that Kyle seemed smart enough to not need raw muscle to send his machine flying.
Having a day's worth of food for the both of them prepared, as well as the flowers and feathers ready to go, Magnus left with Yang. A large piece of parchment lay rolled up in his pack beside the necessary materials as the Minotaur and Monk set out, the former greatly hoping for news of success to help Talia recover.
"Thanks for coming, Yang." he said before they left, a simple, heartfelt thanks spoken with an honest smile.
...It felt...good to have friends.
Arriving at the cliff where Kyle planned to make his daring flight, Magnus felt a bit ashamed to admit that he had NO idea where Arletta was. She just...vanished again, just like last time. It was like she was a ghost, or something...
But, Magnus did take pride in managing to find the flowers...even if they were just given to him by a kindly old woman.
"Believe it or not, they were a gift from a nice nun. She grew them somewhere...I think," he said, wondering himself how the nun had grown such apparently rare flowers and seemingly given them out with ease. He'd have to remember his promise to escort her, in two days time. He and Freyr had both sworn, and he refused to let a kindly old nun who, indirectly, helped someone's dream come true meet a violent end. That was for the future though. For now, Magnus could only scratch the back of his head as the question of Talia arose.
"Talia...well...she caught a fever, and is back at the guild. She wanted me to get these to you...s-so you could fly. She wanted me to tell her everything about it, b-but I had an idea." he said sheepishly, approaching Kyle.
"Do you think that...you could fly over the guild? I don't know how far this machine can go, but I just..." He stopped, feeling that his request might come across as ridiculous or insulting, since he had no knowledge of the mechanical workings of Kyle's flying machine, and worried that Kyle might be offended by the questioning of the machine.
Backing away, Magnus would accept whatever Kyle said, taking his parchment out to right a fully detailed account of the flight when it would occur.

Gratefully accepting Neil's pants, Nephele was thankful to not be walking around half-naked. Even with fog, people's minds tended to wander when nudity was involved. Having made her way to the library, she almost immediately dismissed the Fiction section as a starting place. After all, whatever could drag Neil into another world entirely had to be of some sort of magical nature. While tales of princes and fairies were good entertainment, they rarely had Arcanistic backing in their magical workings. Non-Fiction served as a better starting point, but a title like 'Myths Debunked: Some Misconceptions About The World'gave her the impression it was more useful for dismissing the impossible rather than explaining it, and put it atop the copy of 'The Outsiders' she had pulled from the Fiction section.
The final potentially useful book lay in the Non-Fiction area as well, and, grabbing 'Planes Of The Gods: A Guide To The Dimensions Of Known Deities', Nephele carefully ran through the pages with her sharp fingers, searching for any sort of information that could aid in finding out what happened to Neil. Though she wasn't religious, it wasn't quite right to say that she didn't believe that Gods could exist. After all, if Demons currently exist as well as a very real Demon Lord, who's to say that Gods aren't also active in this world? Regardless, gods were not her focus. Rather, her attention was drawn to information about the Dimensions of these deities.
