Zane says "Well, the mountain taught me that much"

"Now - it sounds as if you have some kind of plan... for... Siv? I have not seen much of her since our return, I have been tending to Earl."

A blink and a little embarrassed blush. "Zara. Sorry.... is there somewhere private we can catch you up?" Now scanning the hallways. "Or Zane can give you the info, and I'll look for the girls. If you think a little more juice in the tank might help?"

"Let's go somewhere private" He motions and leads them on

Following, and now eyeing the corners as they go. Sneaky place here.

"What has become of Siv? Being transformed for an extended period can be... damaging, aye."

the room they used is small, tight, a table, chairs, but it's also out of the way "It's beyond that. She's been drinking tainted glamour.. and Tantalus and his magics were the source"

"Rather than Ravaging when under cover, she soaked up the excess from his workings... is my understanding..."

Pacing somewhat, voice quiet.

Hissss.

"It's caused her to.. she's filled not just with lust but a hatred and lust combined of women" Zane says

"She wouldn't even look at me. Shoved me out of the room like.. like she was afraid she'd attack me."

"That khazer."

"Does Khazer mean asshole? " Zane guesses

"Is this the guy behind everything? All of the stuff, from all of the raids, the whole shebang? This was all his doing?"

"I have dealt with those Tantalus has hurt, before. He poisoned all he touched."

"He had several Balor helping him, but his was the black beating heart."

"Please tell me he didn't walk away from this. If he's still out there, and Siv..." She can't finish that. "He didn't get away?"

"He did not get away. No. His Da'an came due."

"Well that's something. But he's still huritng people even after he's gone. Now that's a legacy of a real fucker." She kicks at a wall with a hoof, angry. "Pardon my french!"

"No arguement here" Zane frowns then turns to Zara "My plan is to have Siv spend ALL her glamour... HIS glamour, affecting items with her own cantrips beyond her usual ability.. cantrip herself emtpy... then we fill her with positive glamour touched by my cousins' gift of inspiration... love of the sea and more"

"That...." She considers, and nods. "Aye, that could work."

"Probably one of the safer approaches - one could try to heatherbalm the glamour, but it is not, precisely, injured."

"Also I don't know if any of us heatherbalm? And I don't want to go to the Chief with this and say 'oh by the way'"

"The little satyr girl knows spring magic, she fixed the little countess's hair. Or Sylvi, of course... is Siv's privacy worth more than her safety?"

"I do not believe that the Shacklebreaker is a master of the fae realm, either."

"Childling glamour is as pure and strong as anything in the world..."

"The springs here are a good place, but I would worry about them getting tainted by that bad glamour escaping. Zane, is that a concern?"

Or, she looks at Zara now - her cousin said she knows Magic...

The sluagh narrows her eyes, thinking. "Mayhaps I could contain the tainted glamour."

"Not to keep?"

"My idea is she puts the tainted glamour in something like a material mortal prop... like a box"

"Not to keep, but to keep it from poisoning aught else."

"That way no one has to take it in" He frowns

"If it is mollified, somewhat, a balefire can cleanse it."

"Maybe it can be cleansed. Or just... gotten rid of." And a nod to Zara. "But what if it tainted other things? A bale? That would be AWFUL."

"Like.. ah... putting a touch of old gas in a tank of new."

"You underestimate the power of a Bale. Though it would be best to have the Holder involved."

"....Jessica would likely wish to help her sister, mind."

"Well, the holder here is her sister."

A nod again as their thoughts cross the same path.

"Yeah, if anyone would feel the backwash it would be the holder" A frown

"But this bale IS about renewing"

"And the fire is strong - with will behind it, it could burn away the impure."

"Phoenix, right."

"Aye. So... a box, to hold it... which may then be consumed and purified by renewing fire?"

"Well, it starts as box.. the idea is Siv expends all her tainted galmour into it by CHANGING it... she's not good with props I don't think"

"Siv empties out, we fill her with the good stuff.. and the prop gets destroyed or cleansed or... whatever" he says

Piper just nods, letting the two magicians talk, feeling a bit out of her depth.

"Of course, might be a good idea to let Siv preplan WHAT she changes a thing into"
