"Ah? Certainly, you have already visited my bathroom earlier, would that suffice?" She suggested gesturing at the portal. "Just picture it in your mind as you go in the portal. It works mostly by intent, though its not always so easy. Just that you are already allowed this far." Her smile was a sweet one, the elf didn't seem to intend to ask and tease her further about the side-effects, but the confused expression on the short mage's face suggested that she might, should Marric/Maria choose to linger.<br/><br/>"As for the other shards, I hope that we will be able to help you locate them, but ultimately..." The elf's eyes narrowed. "... you may have to keep them away from all of us. As their power gathers, it may lead to some temptations others cannot handle. Though if the burden is too much we'll always seek to help out."<br/><br/>"Your right about the life-expectancy thing, that would be a major drawback, but if the cost is what I<em>guess</em>then I doubt you'll be short of ... eager helpers."
