((Philosopher's Stone....why am I not surprised to hear that come up?  Lol.))<br/><br/><strong>Neria Zathrieal<br/>Time; Morning, Day 2<br/>Location; Library<br/>Tagged; Lionel, Yuri, and anyone else.</strong><br/><br/>Neria's heart warmed considerably at Lionel's promise to do his best to keep Giselle happy, chuckling as well at his little joke.  Even so, she nodded sagely, solemnly when he asked that she be careful how she asked and not to lead the half Drow on under any false pretenses.  She could be discreet, and really it'd be better if she didn't try to push them together anyway and let fate take its course instead.  It'd be the best way for her friend's continued recovery.  "I'll be discreet, I promise, and I doubt she'd assume it was your idea anyway since she knows me as well as I know her.  She knows how I would gladly offer up my own life if it meant it would save another's life, but I'm not looking to be martyred by any means.  It is just how I am as a person.  You're a good man Lionel Porter, and I trust in your abilities to keep your promise you've made here."  She whispered before about jumping out of her chair when Yuri appeared seemingly out of nowhere.  She calmed quickly though and cocked her head to the side, intrigued by his offer to aid in their search for another way to restore Lionel to his former self.  Lionel kindly rejected the offer but Neria held up her hand, wanting as many options as they could get in case one didn't pan out.  "I would hear more of this Philosopher's Stone before you say anything more Lionel, please.  I like to keep my options open, and if one doesn't pan out, it's wise to have a backup plan.  That's something I learned from Giselle many years ago."
