How many? Jigano paused as he recalled the space beneath the Spire, and as Remi explained what he was asking the raven visibly drooped. Ah... yes, I had hoped it was an extension of your mastery of earth magic. I didn't realize it was two at once. And there are many plants, so you are right that that it will be no easy task for one or even two alone to undertake. And that didn't even bring up the possibility that Vai had mentioned, that there might be other threads lurking down there still that the mages would need to be protected from.
But that meant the initial plan was still viable. Only instead of killing the plants, Remi might be able to transform some, while others were killed by fire and life drain. What mattered was getting rid of the poison, however each mage's strength best fit that goal. And that damn poison was going to get worse from the plants that were killed, or so the Tulmhainar had warned... You probably saw Ronin's wounds when he returned from the Spire? he asked cautiously. The way the gas bites into eyes and noses and skin? Delah and her people were able to create masks to filter out the worst of it for awhile... before we go down, do you think you might be able to use your alchemy and magic to make something similar, in case Vai needs to take a break from blowing the gas away?
In spite of the seriousness of the conversation he found himself chuckling a little - or rather, chortling, given his form - at Aoife's serene lack of concern for her father's disapproval. I didn't realize she was on solid food already, he murmured innocently through the link.
