*Tavin shakes his head*
That isn't what I said. I said that there was a way to keep The Seraphim at bay.

*Luke squints at Tavin.* You told me there was a way to keep The Seraphim at bay in my own time. How is that different?

*Melliandra waves her hand in mild annoyance, not interested in debating the wording* Semantics. *her eyes narrow slightly*
What are you after, Tavin, and why are you sending this boy to me for it?

*Tavin fixes Melliandra with his gaze, his voice serious with the gravity of what he says*
Unholy Artifacts, Melliandra.

*Melliandra's eyebrows shoot up. Then she just starts laughing*
Are you so desperate? Or is that just a convenient way to get him to stop hounding you with questions?

*Luke waits to see what Tavin will say and watches his face. Luke's interested himself, to say the least.*

Yes. It IS incredibly dangerous. But there ARE safeguards that can be put into place, Melliandra. As of right now, its the only thing I can think of that will work.

*Melliandra draps an arm over Luke's shoulder and leans in toward him, all but ignoring Tavin's response to point out, amiably* Personally I think he's stalling. Really, when you think about it, it's the perfect dead end. He sends you hunting after me for some sort of extremely rare, extremely unstable relic, which I may or may not have, may or may not be willing to part with.
If I fail to produce it, why, I must be lying! I am terribly selfish, after all, aren't I?

*Now Melliandra's the one who's stalling. She's not looking out in Luke's best interest. He doesn't react to her putting her arm around him.*
Do you have it or not?

*She grins* I do indeed. And possibly a few other things that might be of help to you. If you ask me nicely, I might even share them.
*She slides her gaze back over to Tavin* But I wonder, still, how much he's not telling us.

*manages something of a smile, mostly at the news that she DOES have this artifact*
You know... I don't think anyone wonders that more than I do.
*Luke doesn't look at Tavin though. He will have time for that later.*
You told me that you have it. *Luke keeps all attitude and sarcasm out of his tone.* Can you prove that it works?

*Tavin shakes his head* Luke, you DO need to realize how dangerous this is. An artifact like this could very well kill you if not properly sealed. You're going to have to trust her to do what she has to. I'll help as much as possible... but in the end, its all up to Melliandra's skill.

*Melliandra meets Tavin's gaze evenly, her lips twitching* My my, how will I handle the pressure?

*Luke takes a moment. He gauges Melliandra and Tavin's words.*
*Melliandra seemed irritated by the entire situation, which meant she probably had it and it probably worked. Luke thought he understood what she was about. Tavin though...*
*He looks at Tavin.* Why? Why did you tell me about this? *Then, shrugs* I think I have a right to know.
