*Melliandra doesn't acknowledge Luke's return in the slightest, fully absorbed in her reading*

Okay. *Luke walks back over and sits back in his seat. He watches Melliandra, studying intensely, looks to Tavin and lets out a breath.*

*Tavin continues*
Okay.... So the next stage is here.....
*Tavin points to another book*

*Melliandra seems visibly torn for a moment, but she manages to pull herself out of the books Tavin handed her earlier to look at this new one*

*After a moment, Luke leans over and asks Tavin, quietly as so not to disrupt Melliandra - who needs to know what she's doing.* What's the next stage?

*Tavin smiles*
Okay, the next step is to seal the latent effects of the object. THAT requires these.....
*Tavin slides the rest of the books over*
... texts.

*Luke nods. He recalls the last argument he and Tavin had, where he questioned what Tavin had been doing with all his time. Naturally, Luke says nothing.*

*As Luke watches Melliandra leaf hurriedly through the stacks of books, questions arise in his mind. Christ, just how powerful is this thing? Just how many spells are they casting? Can she remember everything she needs to? But Luke decides if he asks, he might find out. And right now? He doesn't really want to know. Now is not the time to lose his nerve. He's trusted them, and it's gotten him this far.*

*Tavin stops Melliandra*
...at that point I will sacrifice my blood to the ritual. You must wait until I clear the circle before starting again. Then you finish the rest.

Yes, yes, *Mell mutters, fluttering her fingers dismissively. Clearly she does not appreciate the interruption.*

*Tavin looks to Luke*
Look, I have to say this to you. We are sealing this thing, but I need you to promise me this. If anything strange happens, you need to let me know.
