 "Good." Dlyss strode past them. That was the other thing odd; she wasn't wearing her usual robe, either. She was otherwise unadorned, except for her marriage-necklace with the three charms hanging from it. She was heavyset, with a broad, barrel-shaped chest and thick limbs; but remarkably trim for all that, though some padding around the stomach testified to the fact that she had borne children. Marching up to the book, she added, "I had originally intended to have the experimental plants tested on the bounds of the Citadel, but in light of the attack, it is clearly no longer safe to do so. This location will be more secure. Enneth, help him bring his things through."  She brought a paw down on the moving image, briefly gained a glowing outline, and then faded from sight. "Good."

-Enneth stared after her, then shrugged and sighed. "Yes, O Oracle," she murmured, before going to pick up some of Einriss' things by the doorway without damaging anything in any obvious way."So, er, when you're ready, make sure you have a tight grip on everything and touch the image on the page. There won't be any acceleration or anything - unless things went wrong, of course - just some disorientation, maybe. From your point of view it'll look like the destination is fading in while the library is fading out."}}+Enneth stared after her, then shrugged and sighed.

 {{wst>pinkgothic|"...testing the--?" he asked, startled, as though he'd been thrown into a completely different context. "I am not exactly fully equi--" But Dlyss was already fading away, leaving Einriss to stare at the spot where she had been and ponder whether he should be bumbling to the lab to get the rest of his things that may or may not prove necessary for planting, nurturing and tuning the test subjects. "I greatly appreciate the primer," he says, finally, to Enneth. "Unfortunately, it appears I ought to acquire the rest of my inventory first. Do you mind waiting or shall I just trail after Dlyss and you on my own time?"}} {{wst>pinkgothic|"...testing the--?" he asked, startled, as though he'd been thrown into a completely different context.

"There is an unreasonable probability," she said, "that you both will continue standing there without speaking tome until I change stance.

 {{wst>pinkgothic|An Oracle being in 'an unaccustomed state' seemed like such a misplaced concept - even though there was no particular reason why that should be true.
