Private Vintergard Vinter? I hardly know her (yet)!

[Aroda]

As the dialog began, the bandits being all defiant, Hanno taunting them, and the cat...just yelling at them, Aroda stood there resisting the urge to scratch her head. She wasn't too familiar with some of what was being talked about, and this wasn't really the time to be asking for history lessons, so she had a bit of difficulty as she wondered when to jump in.

Luckily(?), she's given an in by the very bandit she'd shot like a few minutes ago! At the faerin lady's prompting, Aroda glances at her pile of stolen confiscated materials, and raises a brow as she starts to look over it.

"Illusion, huh...I don't do so well with those, apparently. And which one's a magia component...?"

She cocks her head back and forth as she searches through the stuff, moving things around as she tried to make a guess. She knew a lot about magitech, which was mostly from the mastery, but she'd had a good amount of practice too. Buuut she hadn't exactly taken apart any magia, so she only really had educated guesses to go off...she settled on the only item she couldn't discern the identity of at a glance, assuming it was probably the unfamiliar magia component.

"This thing? If it's an illusion I really...can't tell. Can you two see anything?"

The magia looks to her cat and faerin companions with that simple question.

@Hanno Futaba

 

[Hanno Futaba]

Hanno shifted his gaze toward @Aroda as well, squinting his eyes and noticing the illusory glim of magic with his magical eyes. "Yeah, it this one you are holding, buddy." Hanno said, crossing his arms. "I didn't notice it before in the middle of our mess, but this component you are holding is filled with illusory magic." He said, casting a glance at the other faerin and offering her a small smile. "Seems like at least one of you is smart," Hanno said, approaching Aroda and grinning at her.

"Alright buddy, let's see..." Hanno touched the component on Aroda's hand, with his wings fluttering as his Divine Magic began melting the illusion away, revealing the 'key' that more looked like a card made out of metal. Magical runes were written on it, following a pattern that reminded one of circuits.

"I guess we have our key now." He smirked, casting a glance at Aroda, and then at Felix. "Seems like we can go look for your sis now, buddy... As for you..." Hanno crossed his arms. "I think it would be better to find his sister as quick as possible, but what should we do with these guys for now, Aro?" He asked, "I can't just bring them all over to Astorea right now without delaying our trip." He wondered.

Felix approached Aroda with eyes filled with hope as he saw the the key card, making it clear that the card was indeed the key. When Hanno questioned about what to do with the bandits, he frowned. "Just leave them be." He shrugged in disdain. "If the Magia finds them, they will get the lesson they deserve. If not, you can do whatever you want with them later."

"Yer fuckin' brat!" The bandit hissed with a scowl. "Actin' all cocky now, ye were cryin' like a baby when we got your arse ki- GAH-"

The faerin quickly shoved her foot on the guy's crotch, hissing something to him close to his ears and shaking her head, glancing over at the trio and trying to keep a serene expression.
