[Outer Verto] Skaylen's Workshop

[Avorianna]

Ria nods, "Silkie can do that. Right girl?" Silkie giggles and says "Of course.... wait.. how heavy? and can it go through walls or no?"

[Kage]

"It is a solid object. Not very large, nor is it heavy. Here." He summoned a shaded eye in his hand and held it out to the sprite.

[Avorianna]

Silkie uses her wind magic to lift the ball and very gently squishes it. "Feels like Cheese!... not edible I am guessing... or tasty. What is it?" Silkie rotates and moves the object around to get used to the weight and feeling of it. Ria laughs knowing Silkie doesn't even eat she has watched her try many times. "When we get there, Silkie can take that in. But first she needs to take the Inn somewhere, she becomes more visible the farther she gets from the orb. Then she can take your orb thing inside. It would be the safest way. She can also mimic noises she has heard, isn't that right?" Silkie gives the shaded eye back to Kage for now. Silkie makes the air she uses to talk like Kage, "That is correct"

[Kage]

Kage just dismisses the eye. "Just a very useful parlor trick I learned when I was young. Nothing to worry about."

[Avorianna]

Ria notices when Kage made the orb one of his eyes went black. She smirks and thought, "Really now? I am old, not stupid." She smiles and casually dropping her usual bubbly manner says softly so no one but the group can hear, "It has been awhile since I have seen other magic users. It is facinating, is it not Silkie? Please, do not treat her as a child nor myself like one. I am more than older than I appear, I can smell the burning of a fire and see the shade of an umbral. I am guessing that is what you two are... well Lilly is less of a guess.. I had my thoughts about you Kage for awhile some aspects can be harder to detect. I have traveled around for the land more than I have sat still in one place, so I have experience with others dealing with magic of their own. Silkie is much older than I, and while she talks like a child she is actually fluent in many languages, familiar with many aspects and very knowledgeable in general. Her question to you was less of a "what magic is this" more of a "what do you call this object" she knows it is magic. She only seeks on what to call it since she has not seen anything else like it. Please... for her at least.. don't treat her like a child, she is much more than a simple sprite, she is a very dear friend of mine and I hate to see people talk down her intelligence. Do not worry though both of your secrets are safe with me, so you choose to keep them a secret. Everyone has their reasons for secrets, you can tell me more if you are ever ready, or not. It is up to you, all I ask is that you do not act against Silkie or I in anyway and I shall do the same." She speaks about Silkie as if she views her highly, and trying to defend a friend. She looks directly at Kage and Lilly, truth coming from her eyes. She smiles and then walks towards the mill again, back to her bubbly self. " So after this is over, we can eat at my Inn! I got some fresh deer meat! I can make some stew! Or I could roast it, that may take awhile though.... Oh I should use a herb rub on it! What do you guys want. If you are vegetarian I can always go ahead and get some of the vegetables in my garden and cook those! I have some aspargus, broccoli, carrots and spinach ready to harvest!"

Silkie moves air around to both Kage and Lilly, as if whispering to just them, trying to form full sentences, "Do not think bad of Ria please, she is good. She is friend. It hard to learn new things, but world is full of things Silkie wants to learn! I like your black cheese orb. It squishes and is pretty."

Ria hoped she did not come off too rough, but she did not like the way Kage spoke to Silkie. Silkie is very smart, and a lot of people look down on her due to her issues with learning common tongue. They view her as merely a child, or unintelligent sprite. She knew Lilly was some sort of fire aspect due to her saying "she knows her flammables" and then suggesting they burn down the mill. Not very subtle but still entertaining... Kage on the other hand took her awhile to figure out. She knew he was SOME type of aspect due to the weird eyes. It took her awhile to remember she met someone else with similar eyes, that girl was an umbral, but she did not want to assume... well until he made that.. shadow like orb and one of his eyes went black. Then she had a good guess.

[Kage]

Kage laughed. "I find it amusing. You take offense when I described my ability as a parlor trick. I would hope that no one else could do it. It's a very involved umbral weaving of magic. I didnt speak down. I just keep private things private. Please, lead on. "

[Lilly Mato]

Lilly meanwhile had started to veer off to one side of the cart track they were on, pushing away from the well trodden and down a slight verge into long grass. They had arrived at what appeared to be pair of wind mills, one spinning the other not. A decent sized area was cordoned off by waist high wooden fencing.

"You two might want to get your magical spy trick going." she said as she began to slink into the tall grass.

[Kage]

Seeing that they had arrived, Kage smiled, created his shaded eye, and handed it to Ria. He also began looking for magic and pushing the ability through the eye. "Ready when you are. Let's see what happens."

[Avorianna]

"Lets try the mill that isn't spinning first... I think its a bit strange a windmill is not moving." Ria gets into the grass next to Lilly and gives Silkie the orb for the inn. Silkie moves it 15 feet, then goes back and grabs they eye and moves it another 15 feet. She repeats that until she gets to the mill that is not spinning. She then searches for an open window to fly into with the eye.

[DarkAbyssKeeper]

A window at the top of the mill seems to be slightly ajar, though it would need to be pushed open a little more to allow ingress. From outside the window, Silkie (and Kage) could see their target. The cask of oil was sat in the middle of the room, next to a bed and a metal tub bath. There was no sign through the upper window of the courier/miller.
