Hence he listened carefully to the explanation and it did fly over his head a touch. Seems like it was very obscure and coveted magic. As for Jiabelle's mark it was done and she looked lovely with it upon her now. Her suggestion for him to ask his new slave on the subject of how she got the rune upon her back side was one he considered. On one hand it could be a matter of secrecy and on the other having an expert would be useful to fill in the blanks. He figured it would best talked of in private.<strong>"Very well, my thanks for your service as always. I shall need to tend to other matters."</strong>he was courteous in his Tobe and would then speak to his slaves.<strong>"Come along. I imagine you and your daughter have much to talk of and frankly I do as well."</strong><br/><br/>He was swift in his motions to bring them back to the estate. He had much to discuss and thusly figured to head to his bedchamber with Diabelle and her mother. He had much to discuss and he had a document and schedule to prepare for Captain Ilyana.<strong>"Captain?"</strong>He called for her as he moved through the halls. Diabelle was very curious about what her mother had been up to and once within the halls began to speak up.<strong>"Mother, what happened during these past years? How did you manage to be branded by magi of the royal courts?"</strong>
