"For one so perceptive, you have us all wrong. We come here in peace, with our friend Mattihus, who you may remember, who is friends of the Rezinis.  We mean you and your people no harm. Indeed we did slay a wolf on the way here, but it was only in self-defense, and its death was regrettable."But I shall get to the point. I-- and my comrades-- are students, and we have come to this place to learn; nothing more. We will take naught from you but your wisdom, for there are many things here that are of interest to us.  As strangers, we ask that you educate us in your customs so that we not wrong you. We are not witches, though our search for knowledge in some ways parallels theirs.  And judging from your raimnent, we share some curriculum even with you. I'll not lie to you on this, Herr Grozny.  We are magus, come to study the curious decrease in various auras that our fellows have observed.  Surely one with knowledge and perception such as yourself may have noticed these fluctuations with some concern.  The magic goes away, Herr Grozny.... the magic goes away."Titus pauses to judge Grozny's response.</blockquote>
