Lucy's magnificent rod (Lucy)

[Anastasia]

"If it is the Triune's will, you will find her here," Priest says, "If it is not...not."

[Corwin]

"Makes sense," Lucy agrees. "I'll keep an ear out for any subtle divine wills?"

[Anastasia]

Priest smiles faintly. "If the Triune wishes to act to bring you to her, then you will hear it with your ears open and heart ready. Perhaps she will if you were an elf in your mortal life, for there may yet be hope for you if you've thrown off the Abyss."

[Corwin]

Lucy shrugs noncommittally.

Time for the next mage!

[Anastasia]

Refresh me on the list?

[Corwin]

A return to my original plan! I'm gonna meet all the mages.

Simmer, Mirima, Mirajane, Tannin, Stille, Mei, Bubbles, Ilsenine, Gold! In that order if possible.

[Anastasia]

Finding Simmer is easy - she's by Aurora's gate, in full battle gear and waiting with Mirajane, the two quietly talking and waiting.

Go ahead and make your approach.

[Corwin]

"Hello, Miss Simmer!" Lucy greets her, approaching. "I hope I'm not interrupting an important military matter?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, you are," Simmer says, "We're on alert in case we're needed."

[Corwin]

"Then I shall not distract you," Lucy responds. "If at all possible, could we perhaps meet afterwards to discuss fire magics?" She smiles at the other woman, then. "And with you as well, Miss Mirajane?"

She doesn't stay to bother them afterwards, seeking out Mirima after.

[Anastasia]

Mirima is found in the first floor garden of the Graceful Blow. She is alone there, sitting amid nature and seemingly rapt in meditation.

Go ahead.

[Corwin]

Lucy approaches her, asking, "Is this a bad time?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Mirima says as she estands and then opens her eyes, rising up in one flawlessly graceful motion. "But if you seek beauty and grace, then it is only right to be here."

[Corwin]

"I'm interested in the approach that meshes meshes grace with fighting ability, marrying both to skill with magic," Lucy muses. "I've dabbled a bit myself, but the underlying philosophy escapes me. Would you be willing to offer me some pointers, Miss Mirima?"

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Mirima answers in her rich, compelling voice. "How familiar are you with swords? Do you have any talent in dancing, gymnastics, leaping or other graceful arts? I presume you  have more than sufficient sorcererous power to handle that part of it. Canderella has taken lessons as well and done quite well with them."
