Concordia (Shabby): When you first suggested getting a mannequin, I thought you were joking. Anataeus (Shabby): I wasn’t. It was useful for finishing Clara’s dress, wasn’t it? Concordia (Shabby): Yes, it was, but I hardly expect you to consider such matters. Concordia (Shabby): Now that the dress is done, we could dispose of it. Anataeus (Shabby): No, I have a use for it just as soon as I finish this formula. Concordia (Shabby): Should I be alarmed? Anataeus (Shabby): No. Or maybe. Maybe, but only a little. ----------- Anataeus (Shabby): During the battle with House Colvan I created a mist intended on making outposts inaccessible even if we could not adequately defend them... Concordia (Shabby): I remember that. Are you planning a similar strategy? Anataeus (Shabby): Something like it. The enclosed environment here is a better place for it anyway. Concordia (Shabby): I still can’t imagine it delaying someone for long. Anataeus (Shabby): It’s not really for delaying. We should be long gone before anyone gets here. Concordia (Shabby): You have a more obscure purpose in mind. Anataeus (Shabby): I do. Anataeus (Shabby): You’ll see.
