Heart of Artifice: Part I--Engineered Enigma

[Rystil Arden]

"Sabbaticals aren't always for relaxing--you get time off from teaching classes, but they are often used to do long-term off-site studies, for instance," Keynes offers, "I know for certain that Sophie Popplewell didn't bring her Susie to Xen'drik--now that would be irresponsible!"

 

[Velmont]

"And where would Sophie stay during that time?" continue Kharas

 

[Rystil Arden]

"You mean Susie, not Sophie, right? I don't know exactly. I think at the University. You should ask Elizabeth or Digory, they should know," Keynes suggests.

 

[Patlin]

"Have you oberved any sort of unusual construct?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Huh? No, I haven't seen any constructs at all, except the usual Warforged of course."

 

[Patlin]

"Do you know if any of the children have had any interaction with, interest in, or study of constructs generally?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"Ed didn't, and he's the one I know about. You'd have to ask the other parents about the others," Keynes offers, "If I had to guess, I would guess that Lucy or Pete would be more likely to have an interest in constructs because Digory and Elizabeth Henley are construct researchers and Noah Moseley d'Cannith is a Cannith scion."

"Where to next then? To ask Diggory and Elizabeth as to where Susie might be staying while her Mother is in Xen'drik? Sir, is there anything helpfull to the investigation you might be able to tell us that perhaps we are not thinking to ask?"

 

[Rystil Arden]

"No, I have no idea. I'm sorry, but I'm just a simple tailor. If there's anything that fine-tailored clothes could do to help you, it would be my honour and pleasure to assist."

"Where to next then? To ask Diggory and Elizabeth as to where Susie might be staying while her Mother is in Xen'drik?"

There having been no other suggestions tendered, we do this.
