Lara's nervousness was actually very cute and Ink smiled as she introduced herself. The smile faltered when she heard Lara's mother's maiden name: Ravensbrook. It sounded familiar but she couldn't place it. Nevertheless, she made a mental note to do some research. A book like that was the product of generations of magical innovation and discovery. It could hold some pretty interesting secrets and the wards on it suggested such knowledge likely hadn't been spread around much. Ink had to admit, there was a reason for helping Lara beyond altruism. Two actually. The first was that she was eager to glimpse the knowledge in that book. The other was... well Lara was very cute...<br/><br/>"No problem. I'm always willing to help a damsel in distress," she said as she stood, turning to walk toward a hallway adjacent to the back room. "I think that might be a good idea: not trying anything just yet. If you have a high aptitude, something as simple as lighting a candle with your mind can turn into a house fire really quickly. And that's not even if you resonate particularly strongly with the fire element. Remember the wild fires last summer in central California? That was the result of a thirteen year old witch getting hold of a fire rune incantation. At her level of skill, she should have only been able to heat a room a few degrees but since she resonated with the fire element, it turned into a flaming tornado. Luckily the Vigilant order was monitoring elemental anomalies and were able to contain the more destructive effects of the spell but embers traveled for miles..." She began babbling a bit as she led the way past the line for the bathroom and up a set of stairs.<br/><br/>"My apartment's on one of the residential floors. How far up we'll have to go will depend on how the building's feeling tonight. Sometimes it likes to mess with me. I think it's mad since I tried transmuting one of its magical keystones once. They're made of a really unique material perfect for certain alchemical experiments I want to try. The warding kept my spell from working but I think the building was angry that I tried."
